Who knew I Would Be A Bad Blogger This Summer

Time flies and I often wonder what the heck has kept me so busy that i can't even blog lately. I think a lot of it has to do with my laziness. I would much rather sit around reading than doing much of anything else these days. Crazy, no? I will blame this, along with everything else, on my pregnant state. It makes one lazy and crazy.

Life has been fun lately. From 4th of July celebrations to family weddings, we have been kept busy. Reuben has been to Scout camp and will go again at the end of this week. He also went fishing Saturday with a friend from church. I like the he is getting a little more social these days. The weird thing is that I never thought I would be lonely when he leaves. See, I was alone a lot when I was single and it never bothered me. I was perfectly content being all by myself. Now, when he leaves, I do get a little lonely. What is up with that? P.S. I would never tell him that! I want him to go and do. It is good for him and then I can go and do sometimes too!!!

Here are some pictures because I don't have a whole lot of words today:



This is at a ward breakfast on the 4th for Reuben's parent' ward. We bought Dad this shirt for Father's Day and he had saved it for this occasion. He really is funny and awesome!



Speaking of cool t-shirts here is me in my "Hands off the Baby Bump" shirt. I am getting pretty large, aren't I? We are in the last month before Baby Ficklin arrives. That is crazy.


Here's another t-shirt favorite. The "Professional Watermellon Smuggler" shirt.



Here are a few pics from the Stadium of Fire that Reub and I went to on the 4th. It is said to be one of the biggest stadium shows for the 4th. Kelly Clarkson was the headliner, so it was a given that I would want to go. She sure does so good live. I had a blast.


Cool dancer number


Kelly is somewhere in the blur of the stage. One day I will be up close to the stage, but binoculars did a good trick!


The fireworks were awesome. Hopefully, they didn't do too much emotional damage to Baby Ficklin. I tried to cover his ears, I just didn't know where they were!





Reuben and I attended his cousin's wedding in Ogden last Friday. We had to take advantage of being so close to the amazing breadsticks that our friend's, Morgan and Derek, introduced us to long ago. They are so yummy. Note to self: Always order two orders.


Try this place, if ever in Layton, Utah.


Reuben brought home Crayfish from his fishing expedition. It is weird to meet your food before you eat it, at least that is what I think.



I enjoyed the corn and potatoes. I couldn't get myself to try to crayfish. I will for the next crayfish boil for sure!!

Well, that is all I have this Monday morning. What has happened to all my commenters? What are you all up to this wonderful July week? What fun patriotic things did you do for the 4th. I need some social outlet here peeps!!! No pressure though and have a great day. Cheers.
