Julie's Life With Boys

I think this is the first time Caleb (3 1/2 years old)has even been sledding. It is also the first time Taylor has, but he is only 6 months old. We are playing in front Nate and Kelley's house. The video includes cousins Kanon, Joseph, Adam and Ian and uncles Nate and Ben. Cousin Amelia had already gone inside before I got to take a picture. Caleb had a great time!

A week ago Josh and I went on our annual executive retreat, wherein we plan our family goals for the upcoming year. For lack of funds we decided to go camping. We had heard about a fatal bear attack in American Fork canyon, but we had no idea where it had happened in the canyon. There are many places to camp up there. We chose a pretty place and set up camp near dusk. I have to admit I was a little nervous. During the night we could hear bears. That made us a little nervous. But it wasn't until the next morning when I really felt scared. Every tree in our campsite was shredded by bears as high as I could reach. It was like a horror film. It wasn't until we got home that we were informed that the bear attack was in Timpooneke, the section we had camped in.

Today I am happy to be a mother of my two boys. In this picture of Taylor at seven weeks old, he looks just like baby Caleb.

I have been diagnosed with ADHD. I never realized how funny, yet frustrating it is. For example, one of the worst things a person with ADD can do is let their prescription for ritalin run out because in a scatter brained state nobody ever goes back in. I let mine run out about five years ago.
