Summer Summary

This summer felt short and seemed to go by very fast.  I think that is just going to be my new normal now that I have kids at different schools with different schedules.  It was, however, a wonderful summer.  The big family got together again in Mission Bay and as always we all had a marvelous time.







It is a little frightening that my son rolled down the boardwalk looking like this.


What can you expect when his uncle rolls this look!


It is so fun to have a whole week with Becky, Tyler and the kids.  Liam is a sweet heart.


And these two were hilarious together.  Could be the dynamic duo.



We did not totally rough it on the boat but it sure is nice having it.  Sometimes I still can't believe it.  Already so many good times aboard the "Better Life Style".


I really need to get better about getting pics with Mark and I.  The only one I got from the whole trip is from the Toga party.


Potential Christmas card?


This place feels so much like home and I am so thankful that we have been able to go so often.


We did not make it up to the cabin very much this summer but we were there for the 4th!  Everyone looks so excited - that parade is cute but it is starting to get a little looong.


I was able to get up north one other time with the kids.  Mark was not able to go and it did not work to have the Fahrendorf's so I was worried how it would go.  We had the best time - played games, hiked, read, watched storms roll through.  So glad I went.



Jules turned 13 this summer - WOW!  Time flies.


Lunch at good ol' Mr. Sushi.



Celebrating with Family and Friends.


Happy Birthday to our mighty mite :)


Braces - before and after....



We were lucky enough to go back to Mission to hang out with Chris and Kristie and their kids.  More great times!




Paolo was quite the fisherman.








Mark turned 40 this August so we had a little shindig.  Great food and great friends.







I have officially celebrated 23 birthdays with my hubby.  Not bad.  School started up shortly after and I am sad to say I have no pictures.  I took them on my phone and somehow lost my memory card.  Here's to a great summer and start of a new year!
