"It was Great"

Summer is over - it was a great one!  The first time in the past 7 years that I haven't had to plan a conference or dinner.  I was able to focus on my family the entire summer - it was a great one!

After our girl trip to see some of our besties, we didn't do too much - it was a great one!  We did have family visit - my brother from Pennsylvania and his family came out to Washington for the first time ever.  The little cousins had a great time getting to know each other and play together - we swam and swam and swam some more... and had family pics taken - aren't they great!

 

I also got to volunteer at Creation NW the last week of July - it was great!  I got to listen to some awesome bands, sell t-shirts and see some friends - it was great!

Taylor got to start skating - the first time in 5 months - it was great! And was in the Benton Franklin Fair Parade with his team mate & buddy Beau!

Brayden tried out for the Midget Rep team and he made the team - isn't that great! and, Lance is helping to assist coaching the team - isn't that great?!

We did some updates on our house at the last minute because we decided to billet an Ams player - got new carpet and made a guest room - isn't that great!  However, our player went back home after a few weeks...

So now school has started - we are all back into our routines.  The best thing is that BOTH GIRLS get to go to school with ME!  It is great!

Brayden turned 16!!  Can't believe that my baby boy is driving!!

And my big boy is back on the ice!  Isn't that great!!!

And Brayden went to his first Formal Dance!  Isn't that great!!

And we all made it to the Pumpkin Patch!
