Lazy Days of Summer

"I'm 'uber' bored" - tends to be the trend for the summer around the Ellis household. The kids are bored and constantly ask me... 'What are we doing today Mom??' If I have an appraisal sometimes they come along. They know they will usually get a lunch out of it!! Kaitlin announced the other day 'I dont even get paid to help you'... I replied... sure you do... through competitive soccer!! The dues and tournaments are outrageous - so it's pay back!! :)

All too soon, we will be running around with our heads cut off doing school stuff, choir concerts, band concerts, soccer practice and games all the while forgetting what an 'uber' boring summer it was. Maybe we should be grateful for this down time! :)
Not much to blog about lately...
Zoey got bit or scratched by Izzy which got infected and then abscessed....she still has an open wound....purdy disgusting too. At least she doesn't have a fever anymore and is back to her cute playful self. The vet told me she is pretty much full grown - so fun for us to always have a small petite kitty...altho- they told me she can grow as wide as she is long, since she is the type that gets bored and wants to graze on food all day!!
Garden's a growing - so far no mole in the garden. We've see a few mole holes in the landscaping behind the house and have 1 hole in a flower bed area... but so far the garden is spared!! Can't wait for fresh corn on the cob!! We've purchased some at grocery stores... it's just not the same as FRESH corn from the garden or the farm!!
This is Glenn's 6th year on a softball team with guys from the ward. His games are every Tuesday night. We have fun watching Glenn play - Go go daddy-ooooo
Kaitlin took the video of Glenn at bat
July should be filled with fun and lots to blog about, camping, maybe another lake trip, Glenn & Glenn's high adventure trip (if they bring a camera), 2 birthdays and the 4th of July fun!

The garden looks great! Remember this day last year? Thankfully no accidents this year!
