This is why I didn't blog all summer...

We were just too darn busy. Here's a quick run-down of Summer 2011.

The girls discovered that wet sidewalk chalk makes great face paint.

Marshmallow war at the Ruben family reunion.

Plenty of time running through the sprinklers.

Awesome trip to Washington D.C. with no kids!

Complete with an awesome car rental during the trip.

Attended the wedding of my brother Nate to this little cutie, Sarah, in the Washington DC temple.

Camped in the backyard. Still haven't made it all the way through the night without going inside.

Zoo trips with friends!

Company party with a Harry Potter theme to celebrate the final Harry Potter movie. Sigh.

Enjoyed zucchini from the garden.

Also enjoyed peaches from our peach tree. By far the biggest crop we've had yet!

This one learned how to climb up almost anything and developed an obsession with water.

Some fun friday nights with our babysitting co-op kids.

First lemonade stand. One full afternoon of work earned them approximately $3 total. It wasn't really about the money.

Celebrated our country's birth.

Also glad nobody died from the crazy, and now legal, fireworks we set off this year.

A few newborn photo shoots. I just love those squishy, little babies.

A trip to This is the Place Heritage Park.

A little bit of hiking. Not nearly as much as there should have been.

Muir family reunion at Bear Lake.

Plenty of trampoline time at Grandma and Grandpa Ruben's.

Went boating with the Reids. Someday maybe I'll get up on those skiis or a wakeboard. Someday. Maybe.

Swimming lessons for the three older kids.

A visit to the Ogden Dinosaur Park.

Made lots of trips to the park.
Well there you have it! Whew! Now I'm only a month and a half behind on my blog instead of four months!
