Well this morning is July 4 and I'm so happy to be done with June. I've been taking an 8 week college algebra course through BYU and Ology tutoring. It was four days a week, class from 7-9 pm, usually with a couple hours of homework every night. FOR TWO MONTHS. But I took my final on Wednesday, got a C in the class, and I'm running that all the way to UVU. Donezo. What a relief, no more math classes for me! The thing about math is that I don't really dislike it, it can actually be pretty fun. But I hated leaving a test feeling like I did pretty good only to see I sucked and got a C- on it. I'm just not that great at it but it's good enough for me and I'm movin on. Yay.
Now I need to get through the rest of my online English 2010 class, my history of Art to the Renaissance on Saturdays class, and I'm just starting an online technology class. But the most exciting class of all happens in a couple of weeks, for six days, at Capitol Reef. It's one upper division photo class in one week's time. I'm excited and nervous for it. Nervous because I've never spent more than 6 hours away from my lil baby coke, nervous cause I've never spent five consecutive nights away since I've been married. Nervous because I don't know anyone who is going on the trip and sometimes I feel antisocial. Nervous cause it's at a very secluded spot with a wide variety of "wildlife" ie bugs and crazy spiders and probably snakes.
But hey it's also one week of hopefully fun and learning and relaxation and getting outside my comfort zone. And it's better than doing a full semester of classes. Right? I hope so.
And I know my family will be fine. Justin is super dad and can definitely handle it. We have amazing family who are happy to help out. My boys will probably have so much fun they won't even know I'm gone. Ok that's a lie, I know they'll miss me. But we will all be okay.
Ezra sporting his medal his neighbor friend gave him after a day of racing bikes and scooters. In his robe. 😂😂
We have loved using our pool this summer (and would you believe it I have a pretty good tan going on) but colter still isn't a big fan and usually sits in the stroller and watches Netflix on my iPhone while Ezra and I do "swimmin lessons".
We have been World Cup fiends this summer. USMNT had a good run and we loved watching RSL's Kyle Beckerman play in his first World Cup.
I got a new camera. HOLLA. It's amaze. And pricy. And looks like an old film camera. And is way fun to use. And takes awesome pics which I will go back and post soon.
Ezra asks to go bowling almost every day and even if he has a really fun day he is always sad before he falls asleep that we didn't go bowling. Oi.
Nobody can bend their head back quite as far as this kid does. I'm always amazed he doesn't tip over backwards and usually disappointed when he doesn't fall cause he does this ALL the time when he wants something and can't be satisfied so yeah.
Riding home in the back of the truck after a weekend evening pool visit. These are the good times.
Here is a shot from my x100s of Justin and us after his first half marathon. He's awesome. So proud. Hashtag 1:44
Another x100s shot of you know who bein super cute and dirty and nakie. Mmm those skin tones and MMMM that depth of field.
Another x100s shot of us at the carni. I have these saved on my phone but the rest are on the comp so I'll need to post those too.
My brother Ryan is super uncle. So great with the boys and usually very willing to play with them. This was taken on the x100s on a Sunday evening in the backyard after dinner. Colter looks thrilled.
When USA played Germany we watched it at rio tinto stadium where Real Salt Lake plays. The boys had fun exploring the rows of seats and we got free pizza but for the most part Ezra was annoyed we weren't watching a live game and you couldn't see the big screen very well. Still fun being decked out in our USA gear. But ya his face says it all.
Brad and Staci moved in two doors down and it has been awesome. Slightly annoying at first because Ezra wanted to go over to katewyns about five times per day and would go without a word in his underwear. But he seems to be getting used to having them there so it's cooled off a little.
"Hey mom look we so cute. Take a picture a us." Okay ez, you got it.
I try to post different pics here than I do on Instagram to serve as a supplement record so here's a companion shot to one I posted there. Right after colter got a big bite of ice cream. Happy camper.
Fevered ez still wants to watch the USA with his flag blanket.
I'm always behind the camera and I prefer it that way. I hate taking pictures of just me. Even if I think I look good in it, it's still like yeah I took that. But throwing a baby in there seems to help a little. I don't want to never be in photos with them so I try to get in front of the camera sometimes. This was at the splash pad yesterday. Forcing colter to take a picture with me. He wasn't too into the idea.
Happy Fourth! More to come.
