I've been having computer troubles lately - for the past few months. I think I'm circling in on what the problem is, but haven't successfully fixed it yet. I just don't have a lot of time to sit down with my computer and try things. But I'm starting to get things sorted out. Sadly the main problem affects my photo library so I've had trouble getting blog posts posted. And I had some pictures that I thought were lost, but I was finally able to get them back. Hooray! They were lost but now they're found. Here are some of the formerly lost photos. This is me and one of my Illinois buddies, Alisa, on the last day of school. One last goodbye before rolling out of town.
Anna's friend, Andrew (Alisa's son). It looks like he gave her flowers, but those were from me.
In the car on our drive west. Anna was upset about something.
You can kind of see how packed our car was.
At one of our hotels along the way - Lincoln, Nebraska
On the road - somewhere in Nebraska I think
Getting to Cheyenne. We stayed on the Air Force Base in Cheyenne one night. There were a lot of pronghorn antelope just roaming around the base. I should have taken pictures.
In a hotel room - this must have been Cheyenne
West on 80
So many miles to go
We finally made it to my parent's house in Utah
Here's Anna doing a puppet show for us
Here's John at a splash pad one day
He liked the water that sprayed out of the ground
Emma at the splash pad. She did get to play in the water. She didn't like it that much, but she has enjoyed going to the swimming pool and splashing there.
Summer fun means getting ice cream cones at the local grocery store. Macey's in Lehi sells soft serve cones. Not many stores like that sell ice cream cones anymore. So it was exciting for me to go get cones at the store. Here's John with his ice cream. That cone looks like its in serious danger of falling on the ground. And SPOILER ALERT...it DID fall on the ground later. We were able to salvage most of it though and all was well. He looks so excited.
Matthew with his cone. He thought the chocolate looked like the grinch. :)
Anna and her shoes. Anna is 6 years old, almost 7. Buying clothes for her seems extra difficult these days. We often disagree on matters of style when it comes to clothes. The clothes she picks out sometimes are not ones I want to buy...because I think they are ugly. Maybe I am just too old and not up with the latest fashions. :) But I just don't want to spend money on things for the kids that I hate. Anyone else have that problem? Anyway, Anna needed new shoes and told me she had found some perfect shoes at the store. She showed me the shoes. They were just like these ones (pictured) but pink and leopard printed. I just could not bring myself to buy them. Here are another pair she liked. These ones I didn't hate as much. But I still didn't want to buy them.
In the end I persuaded her to get a different pair that I felt more comfortable with. These are the ones we got. I guess as she gets older I should be more flexible about letting her pick things for herself, provided they are appropriate.
Stay tuned for more summer adventures!! Maybe I can get my computer issues sorted out!
