I obviously took a little hiatus from writing on the blog. I'll be honest. I was worried about this blog. I got intimidated by all the great blogs out there, some of them are dear friends, and I couldn't help but compare my shaggy blog to theirs, and I let my blog go for a little while. It's sad. only it wasn't. I think I need the break from my blog. But here I am again. Hopefully I will reach my expectations of this blog and it will be FUN.
Considering I haven't updated in a while, a quick update:
Sariah had her first choir concert for sixth grade. She did great. She also got glasses. They make her look like she is fifteen, which isn't so great. She is not officially taller than me, again, not so great in my view. She is not even 12 yet! She made the high honor roll, we are proud. She is in love with a boy named Max.
Luke is doing great in kindergarten. I found out that he and a friend, another boy a named Max, (go figure) are the leaders in their class. All the kids kind of follow whatever it is they are doing. He is also the class clown, but the teacher said he knows when to be silly and when to be serious. I suppose that is a good thing. He is reading, and being silly, and loves playing dreaded video games, I keep making him play outside. He loves riding his bike, without training wheels!
Ethan. He is still getting into everything. He demands my attention, a lot. More so now, i think than ever before. He plops himself on top of me if I happen to be sitting down. He helps wash dishes. (he fell in the sink a few weeks ago, luckily I was right there to rescue him) he loves his play kitchen. He cooks me dinner every day, at least five times a day. He is now going down the scary slide without any problems. Now if we can get him to like the swing, Lagoon might be fun for him this year.
Me, I am trying to keep my house clean. It's a work in progress. I will forever be astounded by the women who can keep their house clean, all the time. I lack the energy, maybe even the motivation to clean my house all the time, around the clock. If you stop by, it looks lived in, but not dirty, enough said. Also, my big sis, Jeni, dragged me to a writing event in Provo last week. I met a couple of Authors based here in Utah, like Shannon Hale, Tracy Hickman, Brandon Sanderson, and Lisa Mangum, Bree Despain. I had one of my novel ideas critiqued by Lisa Mangum, who turned out to be very nice and likable, she talked to my sister and I for a long time. My sister said that Ms. Mangum really liked my story. I was so nervous I didn't notice. It was a very interesting and I suppose rewarding experience. I have wanted to be a writer since I was 12, but you know, life happens. Next post will be amazing, or at least interesting... :)
