Yikes!

I have been not too great at keeping up with my blog lately!

1. Zucchini. It's kinda gone nuts in my garden- but that's okay- I've been finding all kinds of new recipes and ways to use it. It really is versatile- it goes in pastas, casseroles, muffins and breads- even brownies! And it tastes good in all of them!

2. Preschool! I CAN NOT believe "my Joshers" is starting preschool! Yesterday was the open house and tomorrow is his first official day. His teacher is a woman from our stake just a few blocks away who has been doing this for 18 years. She is SO SWEET with the kids and Josh is ubber excited. It's only 1 1/2 hours Tuesdays and Thursdays- but it still makes me sigh and think "my little boy is growing up". I am looking forward to time for running errands with only one little one to tote around.

3. A jewelry party?! My cousin Kate sells LiaSofia jewelry. I've dodged all her invitations to host a party for a while- but finally caved in. I'll confess I did it only as a favor- and they're really not my thing- BUT it WAS fun to have a "girls night". Very cool that my friend Sonnet who lives in South Jordan came down with a friend for it- she's lived here in Utah for 5 months and this is the first time I was able to see her- it was good to catch up and decide we need to get together more often. My friend Heather who I haven't seen much this summer (life just gets crazy) came too- and she is such a crack up. So it was actually pretty fun- and I got a cute free bracelet out of it.

4. A great day on the lake. Saturday we went boating with a coupla friends (we try to rotate through a list of people who we know like to go). I always worry about going on Saturdays because it seems like the lake can get really busy and choppy- but it was beautiful! I don't know if its just because all the snow is melted- or if they actually slowed/closed a dam that runs into the lake but it was much more flat. There were a lot of boats- but besides a few rollers it was really nice. The weather was not too hot and the water was the perfect temperature. I actually skied - (most of the time I just wakeboard cause the water isn't nice enough for skiing).

5. Garrett! He's back in Utah- and while we miss Karina terribly (she left for her internship at Disneyworld) its good to have Garrett back. He's such a cool "kid". I love that he can chat it up about all that's going on with him!

6. Land of a Hundred Wonders. I finished this book last week. It was a fun and entertaining read. Not too addicting- but not boring either.
