Where did Summer go???


So, I look up and the next thing I know it is September, the summer is basically over, the kids are back at school, and it is time to start running kids here and there taking up almost everyday!! What happened to those lazy days sitting on the beach or going to hang out at the pool all day?? I was thinking about the fact that you go through the school year, waiting for summer to hit so there is no more getting up early, no more having to be here and there at a certain time, no making sure everyone's homework is done, and no practices to get to. Then when summer hits you find yourself wishing for fall to get here. Do you ever find yourself just being content in the day?? What a thing to ponder.

It has been such a long time since I last posted, for no other reason then I was lazy and didn't feel like taking the time to update!! Thanks to Kim though, getting on me everyday, here I am. Our summer since July has been pretty quiet. The kids spent their time at the beach, and the pool almost daily. Kiersten has been working on her surfing, Deven hung with his friend Jared most of the summer, and Camden is just happy to be outside or at the pool. He loves the water.

Now, that school is back in, Kiersten has made the middle school soccer team, and Deven is working hard in 4th grade. He has decided that he wants to join the swim team next summer, so he will be taking lessons this fall and winter to get better at his strokes. Camden started pre-school at a great place called The Children's Workshop. It took him a couple of weeks to get in the swing of things, but he is enjoying it more and more everyday.

Well, I think I have pretty much caught myself up now. I have pictures to post of Kiersten and Camden's birthday party last weekend, but I am waiting on my Mom to forward them to me. So, as soon as I get them I will put them up!!

Until then...here are a few from the rest of the summer!!





The first one is Kiersten doing a back flip off of Aunt Anita's diving board....did not even know she could do it!!! This was taken at the Family Reunion.


The second one is Deven, his friend Jared, and Camden at the Aquarium. Deven did a camp at the end of July and the last day of camp families and friends got to go to the aquarium after hours and look around!! Fun!!


The last one is when Kiersten was in Hagerstown the first 2 weeks of Aug. This was taken at Cold Stone for her cousin Logan's birthday. So here are Kiersten, Logan and Emma having some yummy ice cream!!!
