Missed Me?

So apparently summer vacation for me really means a blogging vacation...and a picture-taking vacation...and an any-semblance-of-a-schedule vacation.

I'm not even quite sure where the month of June went. Oh yeah, I remember where it went-- it went swimming at the pool, exercising at the gym, renovating in the kitchen, more renovating in the kitchen, reading decorating blogs on the computer, spending time with family, watching movies, reading books, throwing a killer party, and basically everywhere but here. Did I mention we did a little renovating?

My goal for July, however, is to stop and just enjoy my boys. I hate that I let the day-to-day stuff get in the way of really spending quality time with them. Any tips on how to slow down and smell the roses, so to speak?

And what sweet roses they are.

Love the pic! As far as fun summer ideas, I found some good ones in the LDS Living magazine. I let my kids pick one for every day in the week and then I plan my days around whatever they picked. Good luck! Miss you guys! :)
