Wrapping up the summer

A few last highlights of our summer.  Lagoon day.  Thanks to Savage Companies.  

Tyler got to go on all the big kid rides this year.  Ella, Abby and I had a lot of fun doing littler kids rides.  Ella held Daddy's hat while he went. 

My yard makes me very happy.  Ella picks me fresh produce almost daily.  The sun was shinning on her the other day and it looked heavenly.  I love flowers and trees.  Darren always reminds me we dont live in Washington- referring to my desire to have green everywhere around me.  

Abby keeps growing.  She loves to swing.  She loves to think she is so big.  She loves Tyler and Ella so much.  She is happy to play with them all day.  When they are at school, and its just boring old mom... well.... she loves to have Tyler and Ella home. She loves food (like her mom) and devoured a green smoothie.  Saying mmmm...mmmm..mmmm... the whole time.  She loves to give kisses now too.  Nice big wet ones.

Tyler still loves piano lessons and Ella wants to be like him and plays too... 

I made Darren a wonderful breakfast the other day.  Too bad his love language isn't yummy delicious food.  I love that my kids love to cook with me.  We watched the Tour of Utah Bike race.  Very exciting.  One day we will make it to France in July... and sit on a mountain for hours waiting for bikes to zoom by... It was quite exciting really!

I also got to get out and ride with Darren.  I was pushing and breathing hard the whole time.  He enjoyed the nice slow paced recovery ride.  Cache Valley is wonderful!
