Kindergarten Blues

Today was Samuel's first day of ALL DAY kindergarten! :( It was pretty tough, I've been dreading this all summer, He was super excited and ready to go but the thought of sending him off into the world made me a little sad. His school starts at 8:00 and gets out at 3:21, four days a week. Since we live a distance from the school he gets on the bus at 7:40 and gets home at 3:45. It is weird to just be home with the two girls and surprisingly so much easier to just have 2 kids at home. I think it will be so good for Savannah to be the big sister and the one in charge.... although she does miss her "samole" I will be anxiously waiting at the bus today for him to get home!

The fleeting days of summer

Can summer really be over?? I am always filled with mixed emotions at the end of summer; exhaustion, sadness, excitement for the next season, relief to get back to a routine and a little anxiety to think that negative temps are just around the corner. I love summer we always jam pack each day and try to "live every moment" to the max. Here are a few of my favorite summer pass times. I love to ride the air chair and could for hours. This is Jesse at sunset on Utah Lake, which is actually really nice now days, nothing like when we were kids.

What's a summer without a couple of SMORES

I love going fishing with the kids this year we went with the cousins and had a great time. I mostly chase Kaitlen but I love being at the Lake and watching their excitement as they real a "fighter" in.

Nothing like a summer watermelon, Kaitlen sure is enjoying it. I can't seem to get enough of all the fresh produce.........not excited about winter produce...yugh!

I've really enjoyed riding my bike this year and have gone on some sweet trails, snowbird, Payson canyon, and the dirt roads by my house some morning's I ride with a herd of antelope......and no this is not a picture of me, but no one is ever really around to take a pic of me riding. :)

Jeff, Anthony and I hiked Loafer this year, it was awesome and something I've wanted to do for long time, I finally wasn't pregnant or nursing so I got to do it this year.

A summer wouldn't be summer without a few weekends at the Cabin we love spending time with Anthonys grandparents.

The last and one of best parts of summer is Lisa and her boys come and stay for a week or more we have a great time together I love spending time with her and her boys.

Anthony's little brother, Thomas got married the first part of August, it was such a fun wedding. Savannah has had a crush on Thomas and was so excited to get to dress up in her white "princess" dress. Here are a few pictures from the busy day.
