Just Another Weekend










Another weekend past. It seems like they fly by anymore. I can't imagine what its like for those that don't live as close to their families as we do and have to pack up all their stuff and travel all over the place. I guess I shouldn't complain. Not much really happened this weekend (not necessarily a bad thing). Saturday evening our community got together at Harmon Hall near Gila for an Ice Cream Social. It was really nice to talk to all of the people there. Even though they are all pretty much our neighbors we don't really stop in and talk to them too much. The ice cream and desserts were great too! After that we came home and just hung out as a family. Today was Betty Smith's (my Aunt) annual Pool Party. She has it every year at the pool at her house. All of her relatives come and also my Uncles side as well. There is usually a huge group of people. We got to see my cousin Leslie who is going to have a baby in January. She is fourteen weeks and you can't even tell she is pregnant at all. She looked so great. I think Jarrett had a pretty good time even thought it was a little cool for swimming. We still visited and ate tons of good food so I think it was worth it. The best part was Jarrett getting his first experience with grass. I never really thought about it before but he has probably never really touched the grass. We put a blanket down and he was crawling around, but then when he got to the grass he didn't want to touch it at all. It was so funny. We would hold him and try to get him to stand on the grass and he kept lifting his feet up as high as he could. Ah the simple things in life right? Anway, following are some pictures that we took at the Pool Party. Nevermind they are at the top. I am still learning how to do this and I can't get the pictures to move down. It must of been how I loaded them up. First is Grandpa Pruemer and Jarrett and the other two are Jarrett experimenting with grass. Oh wait, the last statement didn't sound good. Anyway....its kind of late and I am starting to ramble so we'll see you all soon.

Jumping on the Bandwagon

Okay, Okay. I know there are several people out there saying to themselves. "Oh no, they've been sucked into the blog world." Yes, I will admit it. After staying updated with everyone else's blog I started checking into it a little. I thought I would never have time, that it would be too hard and so on. And, once I started playing around with it, it just kind of happened. All of the sudden we had a blog. The last thing to do was write the first post and let people know it was out there. (Am I really doing this? Yes, I think so) I decided to make this blog mostly about Jarrett because that is the real reason I am doing this. I figured it was a whole lot easier and less time consuming than scrapbooking and now Jarrett will have all kinds of great memories right at his fingertips when he is older. (Well, from 8 1/2 months old going forward anyway. Really everything before this was quite a blurr). I hope I can keep it updated and make it worth everyone's while to read it. Its quite simple right now but I assume we will add more things as we figure it out. So for those of you out there shaking your heads maybe just give it a try. And for those of you already blogging you may have to help us out with some of this stuff!
