Don't go swimming...

...with your iPhone....

Yep, I did that.

It's toast.

Soggy, not working, toast.

I feel that I can pretend it was sacrificed for a good cause, I did save my two year old nephew after he jumped into the pool, but really it was just my addled brain that forgot to take it out of my pocket. 

Luckily my pop-in-law kept his perfectly good iPhone 4 after he got a new phone a year ago. I was able to get all my apps back and my bookmarks and internet things were saved. However, not having wifi and never backing up my phone, I lost all the pictures I'd taken in the last few months and some important notes. 

Lesson learned: Back Up Your iPhone! 

In a way it's like a fresh start. I hold onto so many random things out of sentimentality or 'what if I can use this later.' I had tons of photos waiting to be blogged that the thought of it overwhelmed me and they kept piling up (I take a million photos of every little thing, it's kind of ridiculous). I'm sad to lose photos of 2014 Easter at the cabin, Steven turning 27 and my dad turning 53 in April, the other photos I had of baby stuff not posted, my new nephew and the million pictures I took of that event, plus other random events. Maybe now I'll  blog as these events happen...maybe :)

These are the few pictures I stole from my mom and Steven (who doesn't take near as many as I do :) 

                   Caroline's birthday

Jameson's birthday (he's a pretty pretty princess ;) 

My dad's (April 21) and Steven's (April 17) birthdays at the cabin. 

A few of the baby fowl we've had by us :) 

Our first RSL game of the year, cute Ellie's first game ever. RSL won :) thanks to the Chitty's for the awesome seats!

Abravanel Hall- very talented people and any other day it would've been a great concert that I would've really enjoyed. However, all day at Lagoon for work + pregnant, hungry, and restless + full bladder + cramped space for THREE hours with NO intermission = one exhausted, frustrated kid. I literally cried during one song because it wouldn't end!! pure, frustrated tears. 

Again, very talented, good concert, and I'm grateful the Powellls got us tickets, I just wish it had been a different night :) 

Baby nephew, Jayse, came three weeks early. Healthy and tiny :) he has super long limbs! And cute little squeaks. 

The Dirty Dash! Clean picture, and one of the few of us together. I think I'll steal photos from my aunt and do a full post about it. It was a blast!

Sunset over Farmington Bay. Steven's been into identifying birds, so we get neat little excursions like this :) 

It's a poor sum up of the last few months, but that's the best I got right now :)
