Summer, where are you?

Hello everyone. I realize I haven't written anything since November. It's a terrible thing and I'm sorry. I don't really know how many people read my blog, probably nobody since I never write on it, but if you do, my apologies. I get frustrated when other people don't update their blogs (go figure) because I read them and it gives me something to do during the day when my son is playing nicely by himself (like right now) and it's almost nap time and I don't want to turn on the tv because I like him to think that mommy doesn't watch that much tv.
As for the heading of this post, I really do wonder where summer is? Seriously, it's mid-June! We had better weather in March! We did have a lovely weekend and I even broke out the shorts....but they're tucked away again as the forecast is rain, rain and more rain this week. At least Connor's winter clothes are getting well worn. My poor furnace doesn't know whether it's suppose to be off or on and my flip flops are begging to be worn. I know we need moisture, but this is crazy. My MIL had a good point though, she said that we pray when we want rain, so we need to pray for sunshine too.
I got released from my calling in April. I am no longer the YW President of my ward. I knew it was coming for a few weeks, so when the time actually came, I was ready for it. I will say that I never truly understood mantles that are given when you receive a calling, until I was released. I suddenly felt a true weight lifted off my shoulders, and not a burden weight, but a responsibility weight. My thoughts are no longer on the girls and my counsellors with a responsibility feeling, just memories of the good, the bad and the ugly. I will treasure my time with those ladies and girls, but know that it was time for someone fresh to come in. (Just in time for Trek too, yippee!) I did get a new calling....and they didn't let me off the hook! I am now the Activities Committee Chair Person. It's actually not that bad because the girl who did it before me has everything organized and prepared down to the T. I have a great committee and we have our first major activity coming up July 2-3. Our ward is doing a Ward Family Temple Trip/Campout in Cardston, Ab. For anyone reading this who would like more information on what a Temple is, you can go here. Anyways, it should be good and I hope things run smoothly.
My baby is turning 2 in about 3 weeks. I'm thinking that's crazy. How can MY baby be turning TWO?! He is such a little man, a totally all boy! He has started talking like crazy, and last week we had to turn his crib into a bed because he learned to climb out of his crib and open the door - all on the same night. Let's just say that that night was pure hell. But he seems to be doing pretty good with his new bed and we got a child proof door handle for his door, and slowly but surely things are getting better and he's sleeping through the night again. He also went through a period of being scared, which I didn't even think he knew the meaning of, but apparently he does and so we had to get him a nightlight. He saw the movie Toy Story and we think that the part where Buzz and Woody are over that the neighbours house (Sid) and the deformed toys come out of the closet may have scared him. Crazy.
In April we took Connor to see Thomas the Train at Heritage Park. It was super fun and he loved it. We rode on "Thomas" the Train and the had our picture taken with Sir Topam Hat. It all went really well, until he went on the little kid Ferris wheel by himself. There were other little kids going on it so we thought it was no big deal - way wrong. For some reason the bar that was suppose to be holding him in, he could LIFT IT UP! And the people operating the ride didn't even notice! Thank goodness nothing happened, but seriously we could have had a real tragedy. Let's just say we won't be doing Ferris wheels any time in the near future!
I'm seriously going to try and keep my blog updated a little more, because it's a good journal for
me to remember all the fun times with my family and in particular my little munchkin. Until next time....
