Always trying to catch up...part 1

It seems as though I go through spurts in anything I do in my life, exercise, good blogging, going to bed early and waking up early. It's so hard to maintain! At least I have done better at eating good portion sizes, and exercising regularly.
We had a great 4th of July last weekend. We hiked up to Donut Falls with some friends and had a great picnic lunch. Ammon loves his backpack and was a great little traveler!

We celebrated my grandma's birthday Friday evening and then played basketball, volleyball and had a terrific bbq with friends Saturday night with great food, great company, and pretty good fireworks.

I've been going on walks about 3 times a week with my new friend and visiting teaching companion and we've been going swimming at least once or twice a week. Ammon now has a lifejacket because he doesn't always want to be in his "floatie" and he's getting a little too strong and wiggly for me to feel safe holding him in the water for very long! Matt has been very busy going to school and doing homework but has been able to play basketball every week with his great friends. I'm glad he's been able to do that again.
