Summer Fun!

We had a very busy and fun summer filled with many, many memories!  I have posted along the way, but wanted to make sure that I included all of the little moments along with the big ones.  Here is a collection of cell phone pictures from our fun-filled summer!

SPORTS!

Nathan enjoyed taking his first swimming lessons in June.  He and Eli loved learning how to swim and are looking forward to another round of lessons in September!

T-BALL!

Nathan had a blast playing T-Ball and has been working on his swing all summer!

 COUSINS!

We spent a good portion of our free time playing with cousins this summer!  The mommies enjoyed each other's company and the boys had a blast riding bikes, swimming, watching movies and playing, playing, playing!  We will definitely miss spending so much time with them as we head back to school.

UNCLE BLAKE!

Blake got to spend a few different weekends with us and Nathan and Uncle Blake had a blast.  They have such a great relationship and we are so very thankful for that.

OUTDOORS!

We spent most of our fun family times outdoors.  We went camping, had picnics in the mountains, driving through the mountains, and fishing. We soaked up all of God's beautiful creation!

 VACATIONS!

We traveled to South Dakota, Yellowstone National Park and took a day trip to Cody, WY this summer!  We are thankful for the opportunity to visit such beautiful places and to see our extended family that we don't get to see very often.

FRIENDS!

We took a camping trip, spent many days at the park or zoo, and enjoyed spending time with our friends too!

Nathan's best friend...McCoy!

 BASEBALL!

Nathan got to go to quite a few Mustangs baseball games with Grandpa too!

FOOD!

Enjoying a trip to Costco!

MOVIE!

Nathan got to see Planes Fire and Rescue this summer.  He is eagerly awaiting its arrival in the stores.  He LOVED it!!!

 PIG RACES!

We spent an evening at the Bearcreek pig races!  It was a yummy dinner followed by lots of fun cheering on our favorite pigs.

DENTIST!

Nathan took his first trip to see Dr. S the dentist.  He did great and really liked the fighter jet he received at the end for being a good boy.

FARMER'S MARKET!

We enjoy visiting the farmer's market each Saturday that we are home.  It is always fun to get some fresh veggies, eat breakfast, and Nathan loves getting balloons from the clown.

MUSTANG!

We enjoyed taking Grandma's mustang on one of our day trips to the mountains.  It's always fun to ride in a race car!

PRESCHOOL!

Summer is coming to an end and we are back to school!  Nathan loves preschool and is excited to be back with his friends, learning new things, and playing on the equipment.  We are so very thankful for such a wonderful preschool and are looking forward to the open house this week!

 Happy Fall!
