Lightning Bugs, Tan-Lines, and GOING PRIVATE... again!

Bad news first...
I'm making my blog private... again! I opened it at the beginning of the year for publishing, and accidentally erased all of the email addresses in my invitation list. I've decided to stop being lazy and ask for email addresses once again from those of you who'd like to continue to follow our blog. I'm happy to invite you "blog-stalker's" too. Just let me know. I will be out of town for a few weeks, and am unsure if I will do any blogging while I'm away... but leave a comment and/or your email address if you'd like an invitation and I will send you one when I get back into town. I hope to have some fun pictures and experiences for we get back, so stay tuned...

Okay, Now for the fun stuff!
I LOVE SUMMER!
We are having so much fun now that the weather is good and life is settling down a bit. We love having a pool in our community and go swimming almost every single day. The kids just can't get enough! They are becomming good little swimmers, and are improving so much. You can only imagine that with so much swimming going on, we're bound to get some serious tan-lines. All I can say... There is NOTHING cuter than these little naked, tan kids of mine! I just want to munch them to pieces!


I wish SO badly I had a camera the other night, when Briggs saw a Fire-Fly for the very first time. It was priceless! His face lit up with excitment, he caught the flashing bug, and marveled over it for moments before it once again flew away... flashing more light, and getting more smiles and giggles from Briggs. It may have very well been the first time EVER that I realized why Heavenly Father put bugs on the Earth... for the absolute JOY it would bring to my child. What a magical moment!
