You know you're busy when...

This is what happens when you're too busy to post on your blog - your friends miss the following stuff going on in your life: (but somehow, I'm sure they're not too worried about it!)

Lake Powell Trip - yes, this is the grin we get now when Scott thinks he has totally mastered something his friends haven't and he can't wait to get home and tell them all about it in Primary, totally distracting the teacher from actually teaching a gospel principle.


















Disneyland Trips (yes, I used the plural here - still currently under the belief that I need to completely and totally brainwash my one and only child with everything Disney).




































Swimming, swimming, swimming at Jenny's pool - enough that the fish might actually think we are related, but still not quite sure because we haven't yet mastered swimming without the life jacket...next year.















Trips to the beach - Scott passed his "Surfing on Sand" merit badge with flying colors, even to the point where he trained his cousin Luke, who is still working on the standing up skillz.













Matt and I took our first "Non-Scott" family trip, yes...I survived! Our traveling partners joined
us once again (I guess 6 years was enough time to recover from our Italy trip together), and we sailed the western Caribbean for a week...plus two extra days - thanks Tropical Storm Lee!



























And of course, the BIGGEST event of the year 2011...the first day of Preschool (you may applause now). With true Fowers Style, Scott half-walked, half-ran to Preschool, gave a big hug and kiss to a teary-eyed yet proud Mom, and quickly decided that he loves school and anything that has to do with learning/playing. However, I do have to check his backpack for a stow-away Mickey every time. Mickey does love to learn, however, Miss Holli has asked that Mickey be home-schooled for now.


And now we're here again in the Fall - summer is almost over (although in Las Vegas, we extend summer temps to November) getting ready for all the holidays to start again. Already prepping for Halloween with our pirate costume purchased for Scott and getting decorations down from the attic! Stay tuned for more happenings...
