Summer Update

My Theory is it always storms on Memorial day weekend

(many rained out baseball games to prove that one)

and on Labor day!

To me it feels like the first ushers out the cold from winter and spring.

The second welcomes them back in.

True to my theory the storm woke me up this morning

and I thought to myself

-well here comes fall,

and winter right behind it.

Truthfully, I am not a big weather watcher,

I kind of like to let it surprise me.

KA-BOOM!

and the window in my car was rolled down to boot!

My summer has been insanely busy – hubby loves it when I say that!

As I browsed through a few pics to tell my story of summer I realized something

yes it was busy, cram packed with family,

and friends, and love, and trips,

and beauty, and JOY!

and all the good things life has to offer

Blessings overflowed…..

 

My cute Nieces came to cool off for a few weeks.

Thanks for letting us hang out with you girls!  

All grown up-

these boys all turn 17 this summer!

Because I am nice I am not putting there four year old picture on here.

They were so cute

 

Wishing we could spend many holidays together!

-grateful for the days we do get to spend together.

For some reason every time I see her I start singing

Sisters, sisters
There were never such devoted sisters, and I do not know the rest of it….

Closing the summer with a day in Idaho
