Where is our summer?

In the last three weeks the following has ensued at our house:

-Two weeks straight of swimming lessons.
-My first combined lesson to the Young Women. (Terrifying)
-Brent on a business trip for a week in the Netherlands. Ya, I know. The Netherlands???
-Helping out with Youth Conference.
-Sunday dinner and a burnt chocolate pie for Alyssa's birthday.
-Two doctor's appointments.
-Brooke getting sick, then getting better, then sick again.
-Having my dear friend, Annalee stay with us for a day.
-Dying my hair back dark brown and cutting 8! inches off. (Huge deal)
-Helping to throw a baby shower for friend, Alyssa.
-Way too many trips to some un-named fast food places 'round these parts.
-Taking our turn in our Babysitting group to watch 6 kids.
-Father's Day and a burnt steak for my baby-daddy:)
-The Young Women were put in charge of Father's Day gifts for our ward and it got delegated to me. (Are you tired for me yet?)
-Brent going up with the Young Men's High Adventure Trip to speak.
-The Young Women overnight retreat. (Just went for the night on this one.)
-Brent's 30th birthday. (Holy moly.)
-Brooke watching the movie "Elf" way too many times. (She just gets a kick out of it.)

I can honestly say that our home has never been more of a tornado than in these last three weeks. Clean when my friend came to stay but it seems as though I am NEVER caught up on dishes, making my bed, and Brooke has been getting dressed in the laundry room. Brooke spilled my Mac powder a week and a half ago and it is still on my bathroom tile. Wow, I am seriously portraying how awesome I am right now, huh?

We'll catch up with some pictures and (maybe) a clean house SOON.
