Joel and I took Reid to the Puyallup Fair the first weekend it opened. We had a pretty good time. They wouldn't let Reid on any of the safer kiddy rides if he was under two. So we decided that we would institute the "don't ask, don't tell" policy when it came to his age.

Reid got to bang on some garbage instruments, meet the Backyardigans, ride the merry-go-round, and have fun on a real, live horse! It was hot that day and Reid hadn't had a haircut in a while. His poor little head was wet with sweat.

He also got to see some farm animals. Joel and I have finally realized that outings with Reid are usually more work than they are fun. But you take one for the team so that Reid has fun, right?

You Know You Weren't Meant to be a Blogger When ...

Ok, I will admit it. I am not supposed to be a blogger. I was a horrible correspondent when I was younger, and I am still a horrible correspondent as an adult. So much has happened it would be stupid to try and catch everyone up.

Reid is now 20 months old on his way to 21 months. I am going to turn 25 at the end of the month. And life is just living. I get up, get Reid, feed Reid, play with Reid, clean, make dinner, put Reid to bed, and then sleep. Repeat. Ta-dah! My life.

I am still playing the piano for the ward choir. However, I just got asked to do another calling: Nursery Leader! Yay! The first calling that Joel and I had when we got married was as Nursery Leaders. I remember being a little overwhelmed by that. I think a few more years maturity (5 to be exact) and having a child of my own will be very helpful.

I have also developed a gym habit. I go about 5-6 times a week. I gained 10 pounds with my second pregnancy. I decided I wasn't going to get pregnant again right away and start out a third pregnancy with an extra 10 pounds. Well, I am still waiting around for that third pregnancy and i am still going to the gym. I love it (most of the time) and Reid enjoys the daycare there. We see the same babysitter almost everyday and he knows her name. He asks for her at home. I've lost about 7.5 of the 10 pounds, but I have added some muscle. So I feel pretty good.

Well, I hope to remember to post more often. I was searching through my bookmarks when I saw this page and couldn't remember what it was. I clicked on it and low and behold! A blog. When did I do that?

Thanks for reading!
