So Long Summer (sigh!!)

Summer went by wayyyyy too fast!! I am not ready for those long, blistery, super long, cold, and did I mention long, months of winter here in Utah. Here is what we were up to this summer (sigh again, sniff, sniff).....
We went swimming nearly every single day here-I love our pool!


Madeline and Diesel both learned to ride their bikes in about 15 minutes!

Madeline and her Fairy House (still waiting to catch that Tinkerbell:))

First day of first grade. It was harder than I thought-I cried the first 2 days and now I can't wait for them all to be in college!!



Boating with Aunt Candace and Uncle Mat.


Bike rides and lots of playing at the new splash pad (not shown)

For me, running and more running-Here I am at the Freedom Half Marathon (4th of July) and I proudly came in 3rd!!!!

Madeline's Ballet performance.

God Bless America.

Yesterday I felt especially grateful and blessed that I not only have many family members serving our Country (along with so many others) but that we are all alive and healthy and live in the greatest place on earth. Take a minute to remember those that have lost loved ones 10 years ago and thank those that have been serving to keep America strong......




Thanks again Kat for these beautiful pictures.....
