Enjoying every last minute of Summer!

We did all we could to enjoy every last minute of summer we could! 

We loved watching our garden grow! The kids would get so excited when new things started to come on!  They liked being the first to discover something new. Sadly, it didn't produce much this year.  Next year we'll have to make some changes. Even though there wasn't much, I loved canning and freezing all I could :)

There are always times when, if we want to see dad at all, we have to go run errands with him. It could be a quick fix on a truck or just dropping something off to a driver.  Either way, it's usually an hour or two hour drive ONE WAY!  The kids hate it!  But sometimes this mom needs to get out!!  Sometimes dad surprises us with a fun stop!  This time we followed a trail for a neat view of Lake Sakakawea and the bridge across it. (Sorry, me and night time pics have never gotten along!)

We did lots of fishing!!!  Landon asked me everyday...all summer...when we were go fishing next! 

We had lots of morning wrestling!

Playing in the water just wasn't much fun this year.  It just wasn't warm enough... But we tried one last round before school started! 

Just before the end of summer we ALL got new bikes!! We had so much fun taking the kids on bike trails and stopping at parks to play! 

Payden has decided he really likes food. ALL food! But mostly food he gets himself!  He's gotten really good at not eating meals because he snacks all day long...just like brother!!

Lazy Summer Days!

                        ....long gone till next year!
