Busy busy summers!

We had a great trip to Boise in August to attend my niece's wedding.  My sister ended up renting two hotel rooms so we didn't have to crowd into my mom's house and it was so nice to have the space and the POOL!  The kids swam sun up to sun down and had an absolute blast!  We were all spoiled by ordering meals poolside and lounging in our suits all day enjoying the warm sun with no agenda but to enjoy each others company. :) Oh, and the pool was salt water so we all swam a lot too.  All my sisters were in town for it so we got to all be there together and I take all the sister time I can get. ;)

 

Haylee and her goggles

                           Naomi got to come with Sarah so that was a fun treat for Haylee especially. 

 

Paige enjoyed her too. ;)

Lots of Auntie time.

 We went down to Joe's Crab Shack one night and sat on the patio playing cards and laughing till the wee hours of the night it was so much fun.

Love these ladies so much!!!

                                     

After a few days of relaxation we had the wedding.  Bel looked stunning in her vintage gown and the ceremony was so sweet you can just feel the bond they all share as a family.  Josh seems like a great addition to the family too. :)






We danced and ate yummy Mexican food.  The kids had fun playing and running around crazy, and eating all the desserts of course.

 

 

 

 

We made it back from Boise safely and wrapped up the summer with some lazy mornings......

 

Snuggling in my bed. :)

 

A few Spokane Indians baseball games.

 

Lots of trips to the park

 

School shopping.......his first time. :)

 

And lots of swimming!  We love having our Y pass.

 

 This girl gets to sit in the cart now and waves and smiles at everyone passing by. :)  Such a ham!

We got a few more times in at Riverfront park as well to get all the use we could out of the kids' passes.  We loved having them this year but probably wouldn't do it again until Paige is a bit older and can ride the rides.  She and I would just sit and people watch in the park while the kids played.

8 months old already.....my how time flies!!

 

Sort of like the summer....totally gone before we were ready.  Lot's of changes this year so maybe that was part of it?  I just feel like every year i'm dreading the cold and not ready for school to start again.  Paige will be a lonely little thing this year. :(
