Summer's End

Somehow I let an entire month go by without finding the time to blog.  So you get the short version on the past 30 some days...Here we go!

Adventureland with the Deen family (our VERY cool neighbors).  LOL!

Yep, that is the Met Life Snoopy blimp flying over that day.  Cool!

The very last ride of the day.  Hope snuck around and got in line again before Joe and I even noticed since she didn't get the horse she wanted the first time.  :)

This is us (Hope, Madi, Damon and me) on the Tornado roller coaster.  And yes, Joe actually got a picture of us on it.  We are in the 6th and 7th set of seats.

This was Hope's favorite ride.  She rode it four times.

We had a cabana that day and we finally let the girls go around the lazy river on their own.

Next up...Rock!  

Joe worked on some landscaping around our house.  Hope and the neighbor kid Will got a start on it the first day it was delivered.

Hope even helped out too.

...and her reward was a ride in the cart back up the hill.

Other fun stuff...

Madi and Hope gave each other mani-pedi's on the back deck one afternoon.

Hope spent a few days at my mom's house and ended up bringing my "little George" home.  She has been sleeping with him ever since just like I did when I was a kid.  Sweet!

And then there was the day Hope and Madi dressed up Taylor.  I cracked up when I got home from work and saw these pictures.  She was NOT amused!  Hehehehe!

Taylor also did more camping too in the doll camper.  :)

And a princess!

That chair must have been REALLY comfy for her to sit there and let them put all those things on her.  What a cool dog she is growing up to be.

We had family photos taken too.  These are the few sneak peeks she posted for us to see.  I can't wait to see the rest of them, which should be any day now.  Yeah!

And that bring us to yesterday...THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

Our bus gang shrunk A LOT over the summer (in numbers).  Aren't they CUTE!!!!!

Griffin (kindergarten), brother Blake-1st grade and Hope-4th Grade.

School bus fist bump!!!

And the bus was late, but it finally arrived!

Well, if you made it this far, pat yourself on the back.  Maybe I should pat myself on the back for not boring you too much!  LOL!

Now that we are back on a schedule again, maybe I will do better about blogging.

So here are a few recent layouts I created.

That's all folks!  Until next time...
