Fun in the sun

Today we got to go over to a ward members house, the Larsen's, and go swimming in their pool with their kids.  It was lots of fun.  They have a really big pool and Tyler and Josh loved it.  We got out Tyler's floaty thing that you can sit in that kind of looks like a jet ski and he had so much fun in it and so did Josh.  Tony's brother, Nate, and his wife got that for Tyler for his first birthday.  I couldn't believe that he still fit in it.  Worked great, can't wait to take it swimming again - hopefully soon.  We also ate dinner at their house.  It was nice to get to know them better and to let Tyler play with kids.

It has been hard and weird not having work or going into work this week.  I got used to having that one day away from the kids, and so did Tyler.  That one day rejuvenated me and made me a better and more patient mom.  I am going to have to find something that will do the same thing without actually having to get a job.  I don't want a regular job - even part time, I want to be a mom.  That is what was so nice about my old job...but all good things must come to an end. 

I am really looking forward to this weekend.  My grandpa Clark is coming into town from Oregon and I hardly ever get to see him.  Plus it is 4th of July weekend, so that means the Murray Parade, a BBQ at my parents, and fireworks that night.  All good things! -- Tyler just woke up -- duty calls.
