Summer Lovin'...it happened so fast!

My family loves summer as much as we love fall as much as we love Christmas! Seriously! It's like a competition. 

This summer, as much as this may not seem so, was slightly more laid back that previous years. 

We didn't sign up the boys for baseball (although Ashton played in the Spring). We did however use to the fullest of their extent our Pass of all Passes. Utah County peeps know what I'm talking about. 

I think Ashton went down this slide a million times! I was ready for the life guard to ask him if he wanted a job!

Jordan and Kolton having fun in the kiddie pool!

Bumper boat fun at Trafalga!

Of course we have to take some time for the "summer appointments". Jordan's yearly heart check. So far no surgery! Woohoo!

Some of my dearest friends at her daughter's wedding. 

Lots of ice cream (I loved torturing him, lol)...

And of course, lots of strawberries and cream!

But that isn't complete with out a good home town parade...

...and a Rodeo queen.

...complete with sunburns.

...and fireworks...

...followed by playing with fireworks at home...

...then we remembered our dear Stevie as we lost him just a year ago...

...topped off with the purchase of our first SUV...with 4 wheel drive...and a Hemi...Shon was believe or not more excited that I am despite this picture. Don't worry we still have big red (our dodge caravan) 😉.

And now...school is in session!

It actually wound up being quite the summer. With lots of BBQ's and family bonding time. 

But the crisp air is slowly rolling in and the Halloween shows have already started...so ready or not...here comes fall and the Christmas season!
