Goodbye Summer

We have had such a fun summer!
Len loves taking the boys to Brighton hiking around the lake. They pretend like they're "lion hunting" (hunting as in "looking" because we are not fans of real hunting! My nerdy animal advocate self had to add that blurp). We had a mountain lion & a bobcat roaming our street this summer, so now the kids are obsessed with mountain lions! Very scary! Usually they only see moose & deer at Brighton, but that's very exciting too!
Noah playing in the fireman foam at his cousin's birthday party. It looked fun, but apparently it tastes really gross!
Mack loves catching potato bugs in the backyard & then finding them a new home in the dirt. He's always naked or in underwear too! He's the neighborhood streaker!
I told Noah & Sam this is the only time they can pretend to be chicks! haha!
A real cowboy! Whoa! The kids loved visiting "This is the Place" pioneer village this summer.

Honestly, I was a little frightened at being able to keep the kids busy all summer, but it actually flew by. I can't believe Noah's going to be in 1st grade, and Sam & Mack will be going to preschool in a week! This might be an emotional week!
Well, Goodbye summer...Hello home projects that desperately need to get done before the baby arrives. That will take my mind off the kids growing up so fast...a baby coming! Ahhh! Next post- the nursery & the princess' new pink bathroom!

Thanks for the comment on my blog. It is always fun having more blog friends! You have such cute kids and my girls love looking at everyone's blogs, too. I looked at your post about going to Idaho and I just had to comment. My mom and dad are from Rigby and we were always in Idaho on my birthday in the summer. I bet I spent every birthday until I was 7 or 8 at Tautphus Zoo (we called it Tautphus park - it wasn't so much a zoo back in the olden days!). I keep thinking I need to go back there for my birthday one year - so I am glad people still go there!

Can't wait to see the pink bathroom! Summer did fly by. Our time in UT went too fast. It was so fun seeing you. Thanks for being such a good friend! Keep us posted on the baby. Can't wait to meet her.
