Summer Fun

OK, I will admit that this looks really mean! Sometimes, your kids do things and you just have to take a picture. There has been a couple of times in the past where I wished I would have grabbed the camera rather than going to the child's aid. Well, when this opportunity arose, I grabbed the camera. When they say a picture is worth a thousand words, I think this picture fits into that category. I like the tear on the cheek! I didn't photo shop that in, it is real. I was in my bathroom getting ready and I could hear him moaning in the kitchen and I could tell that he was saying my name, but it sounded really funny. So finally he came looking for me since I was ignoring him ( I know, mean MOM). When he found me I started to laugh and that is when the tears started. I did feel really bad.... after I snapped the picture.

A few weeks ago we went out to Paul's parents house to pick some corn. There had tons of corn and we asked if Carter to take come and sell it out by our house. We set of the awning and made some signs. Carter sat out there for a couple of hours with his friends and made about $34 dollars. He was really excited about the money, but though that he should have made quite a bit more. It is hard to explain to a 7 year old that earning money doesn't always happen quickly and when you do earn it, sometimes it isn't as much as you would like it to be.

We took a mini trip to SLC before school was to start in August. We went to Cherry Hill, Clark Planetarium, Temple Square and Lagoon. Buster really enjoyed riding TRAX. That was the only free thing that we did, why do things always work that way?

We had a great summer,we didn't take any major trips, we took a couple of smaller ones. We went to mom and dad's over the 4th of July for a family reunion. The kids always have fun when there is water and food involved, OK, so do the adults. We shot skeet, played games, slept in tents (at least part of the night), went to the Vale suicide horse race and jumped on the trampoline.

New kids on the block

Look at us!! Well pigs must be flying, because the Naegles now have a blog. Who would have thunk? I have felt the silent pressure building up inside of me since Cynthia created a blog. Although I have nothing exciting to share will the world I guess I just wanted to fit in. I received a call from my mom last night and I really thought that I needed to keep in touch better with family and friends. So, this is going to be a journal, picture album, greeting card and anything else I need to say.

Life is always fun and exciting with a 7 year old and a 3 year old.

Carter started 2nd grade last month and had been enjoying school. He has begged me since kindergarten to volunteer in his class. Well, Caleb (Buster) was to small so it would have been a challenge. This year Buster is old enough so I talked with Carters teacher and she said it would be fine to bring him in with us. So, I have volunteered two weeks in a row now and Buster and I ate school lunch with Carter yesterday. It brought back a lot of memories. The lunch ladies still wear hair nets, but they scoop your food up a little nice, not so harshly.

Carter will be turning 8 on Oct. 30, then he will be baptized on Nov 1st. He asked Paul the other day if he could wear goggles. Paul said that you need to wear all white, and then Carter said he was sure that he could find some all white goggles. So, then Paul said he would have to talk to the Bishop. I don't think Carter is going to let this one die. So, we will have to see what becomes of it.

Buster is a hand full. I thought the 3's were going to be better than the 2's, but I think they are pretty comparable. Some of his favorite phrases are, "Your not my best friend", if you tell him that you love him he says "What ever you want", there are quite a few others, but they really aren't very nice and so I think I won't publish them.

Buster loves toy guns more than the average kid. He always has one stuck in his underwear. He tell me "Mom, you the princess and I am the good bad guy." He is very serious when he tells me that.

Well, I don't want to over do my first entry, so I will hold off and let this be it for now. I welcome your comments and I am excited to have finally started a blog. I would like to thank all of the little people who helped me get to where I am today. (kidding)
