Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall!!

You know you've had a complete summer when you've done the following:
1.  Sold Kool-aid on the corner..we added in Otter Pops...mmm.
2.  Enjoyed a few camping trips.
3.  Family BBQ's galore.
4.  S'more roast off in the backyard.
5.  Night games with the neighborhood kids.
6.  Lots of sleepouts in the backyard.
7.  And even a bout with Giardia from playing in a nearby creek! (not so fun for my Ashlyn girl...:)

Here are a few more of our summertime highlights.
Beauty Parlor anyone? 
Come get your nails (fingers and toes of course) and hair done for free!! 

 Connor got this huge soccer net for his 11th birthday.  It's been a GREAT investment and gets used all the time!

 Connor and I went to a REAL (pronounced ree-al) soccer game. They were MLS champs last year btw... It was our first professional soccer game to watch in person, and oh, can I say I'm hooked?!  (Except for all the beer everywhere we looked...:(
 We went swimming as a family at a nearby aquatic center, and the boys had a blast on the wave runner...until they crashed...we laughed every time!
 Gimme a s'more!
 The "Giardia" creekbed!! 
Parker went to scout camp for an entire week!  I asked him if he got homesick, because I REALLY missed him...trying to read between the lines, he replied..."uh, yeah, I guess so".  I said, "not really, huh?"  He came clean and said, "not really, sorry mom".  I just laughed and told him I was glad he had such a great time, and I wouldn't have it any other way.  :)
