Summer's End


I hate when summer ends. Don't know why. No one here is in school(thank heavens). We can really pick and choose when to go on vacation, and I usually prefer going in the fall when it's a little bit cooler. And summer is so blasted hot! But I still hate when summer ends. It's been a fun year! Josh has loved swimming in our little pool in the backyard. He loves the outdoors, but struggles with the heat. He will play baseball and "run the bases" in the backyard a few times, then he'll throw his hat off and toss his bat and say, "It's too hot!" Anthony is becoming a little chatterbox! I think he may be teething. His gums are swollen and he is so fussy! He's making up for being a perfect angel his first three months. But I adore the little guy, and love him so much! I am loving not going to work! I think my hubby is loving me not going to work as well. I'm much happier with life! I love my new calling in Young Women's. I'm over the Beehives, and they are the cutest, sweetest girls! I also love the women I serve with. They are so on the ball, and I'm so glad I'm not president over the Young Women:) My Grandpa turned 95 this year! He misses Grandma so much, I know it's been such a trial for him. Grandma died 2 1/2 years ago! I think my whole family finds solace visiting her grave. My mom and her sisters make certain it always looks beautiful. I love going now and again to just reminisce about the amazing times together. And I love spending time with my most amazing husband. He's always doing such sweet things like dropping my kids off at our parents and taking me to a movie, buying flowers, etc. What would I ever do without my sweetheart? I won't even think about it. No more blabbing, now just summer pics:)


Isn't he the cutest thing?


And isn't Josh the other cutest little thing:)


Anthony loves going on walks with his big bro.


Gotta love $2 Tuesday at the Dinosaur Museum!


Josh was excited to get to touch one of the dinosaurs.


Matt and his boys.


I know, I look way too chipper when a shark is about to eat me!


My boy is getting to be a chunky monkey:)


Giz worn out from a long day of running away from Josh!


Way back when on July 4th. We got Josh out of bed early to watch for the jets.


Fathers and sons camp out. Very disappointed cause we lost pics of Anthony camping with us at the ward camp out! At least we found the ones of Josh!


Josh kept Matt up till 2:AM! He loved the lantern!


Boating in Mona. We were the only people on the reservoir!


Matt showing off his mad skills!


Matt took Josh out on the tube. I thought Josh would freak, but he hopped right on!


Josh crashed on the boat. Matt loved snuggling with him.


Matt crashed at my parent's. Anthony loved snuggling with him:)


What is summer without the zoo? I thought Josh would pick the tiger to ride on. Nope. The panda! A boy after my own heart:)


A very dark pic of me and Anthony with the mama and baby elephants. Matt's idea!


Terror when faced with a water-squirting dinosaur!


He did much better with this one. He said, "Hi T-Rex!" Then, made Matt hold him, a bit nervous.


Josh with his cuz, Kyle. Whenever we go to see Kyle, Josh now says, "I'm so excited!"


Matt and Josh at Thanksgiving Point. Still gotta love $2 Tuesday!


Me and my handsome hubby:)


Had to get a pic of just me and my baby. Don't you love the flowers?
