Check?

See, I haven't forgotten you. You were on my list of things to accomplish this weekend. Sadly, it's 10:33 and my eyelids have this weight pulling them down. So, that's all I have for tonight. You are weighing on my heart. I feel like everyday another part of the stories I have saved up will go missing.

And just like that....

It's over.

Quickly before I close my eyes...

Summer is over. 

It went too fast. 

In the morning the routines start. 

I tried to make the most of all 82 days. 

There are certainly items left unchecked on my to do list, but ready or not tomorrow starts another school year. 

I'm ready. The boys are ready too. 

Let's do it!

We said goodbye to summer with a quick beach trip...

Silas has had enough of my summer paparazzi. He was ready to head home. 

Before bed we looked at our pictures of the wonderful things we did and talked about how great our summer was.   

Sunny days and sprinkler

Actual date: somewhere in June (June 18 to be exact. That's right I haven't shared anything from July, August, or September) I may share stories from the summer, or I may never get to them but here's one. 

I went into the  summer bright eyed and bushy tailed and enthusiastic to do something special everyday. I wanted to make all 82 days of summer count. My ambition was to take at least a picture everyday. 

The boys loved the sprinkler. Nothing fancy. Drinking water from the hose soaking up the sun. We played for a long time. 

Bike Rides

He thinks  he's hot stuff riding around the block, tricks and all. 

Will I ever see Joshua again?

Kailey one of Joshua's dearest friends was concerned that Joshua hadn't been to summer care. She asked her mom, "Will I ever see Joshua again?" 

Then we had VBS and they were reunited. 

Kailey's mom asked if they were in the same group. I assured her I would make sure they were. For a week they were inseparable. 

Daddy Day

For Father's Day we spent time snuggling and hanging out with Daddy. We watched some shows and baked some bread. 

2 Years Old!!!!

Not sure where all the time went, but my little guy, he's not so little anymore. Happy Birthday Baby!

We went to the library in the morning of your birthday. 

You sat around wearing a birthday hat all day long. 

Joshua was so excited to use his own money to buy some gifts. He chose glow-in-the-dark lizards, a ballon, and some bubbles. 

It was a nice quiet birthday home with your family. We watched How You Train a Dragon, had pizza, and cupcakes. 

I love you to infinity and beyond buddy!
