{ Me Thinks Monday...}

It was such a fun weekend we left town and went camping, it was nice to relax and and the kids had so much fun, we all did!

...and with that here are our weekend memories.....

we rode over Logan's pass get to Kalispell, Montana {{and this picture isn't as bad as it looks he was laughing and the drop off wasn't to bad right there j/k!}} We had to stop for construction so we took some pics and enjoyed the beautiful scenery!

As soon as we got to the KOA we were camping at {including free hot breakfast and showers nice nice!} the kids found a huge toad..a great start to camping they were in heaven!

lots of random food they don't usually get .. lots of swimming

and chilling this boy is so awesome he loved it too.

 

...lots of bike rides

 

and paddle boats and pool time...a petting zoo...all at the campground we stayed at. We used to have lots of connections and always stayed at Echo Lake but not so much anymore.

The second day we spent at lake five with friends there and went boating D skied and barefooted so we all had fun between the periods of rain....campfires, smores lots of shopping and just relaxing...was so fun! The third day we shopped! Lucky D his favorite thing!

Oh through in a huge rain/thunder storm that lasted about 2 hours and a night with some drinking groupies in the next site over... up most of the night...fun times  

         

no phones kind of, no ranch, no stress, so worth every minute!

I love memories in the making!!

Me Thinks

Summer is almost over and truth be told I can't wait.

Can't wait for the routine.

Can't wait for school to start.
{does anybody love the smell of new school supplies or am I just weird or maybe don't answer that lol!}

Can't wait for the kids to learn new things. Make new friends. Can't wait to see some of my own friends again.

For the kids to have things that keep them busy and tired.

School helps makes them more obedient.
Probably cause they have to listen to their teachers all day! Both my all dayers have male teachers this year and I think they will both love it!

Its been a fun summer completely filled and busy.

I just love routine and being busy with things. I'm pretty sure K does to cause I've had to put him to work alot for bugging his sibs!!

All the power to those that home school I have alot of admiration for you I just could never do it unless I absolutely had too! I'm not patient enough and I kind of like a little free time to regroup and feel energized!

I like that they learn so much and really blossom throughout the year I love to see them learn new things all the time!

I'm liking that I get to spend 2 mornings a week with just one little K2 and me 

really looking forward to it...
because M will be right were he needs to be having fun, learning and growing ..I'm looking forward to what school will do for him..he is so fun so busy and so independent it should be fun...

for his teachers ha ha...

So ....I really can't wait for fall 

for sweaters

for football games

for fall scents

 for burning leaves i know weird but I just like it reminds me of my childhood I think...

 and thanksgiving For the beauty of the changing seasons..

 to feel the cool air once again....

 I do enjoy where we are right now and until its over we'll enjoy all of but i'm just saying what i'm looking forward to!! I kind of think a few of you might be too!!

Here are some things the changing seasons have taught us about life…

* Nothing ever stays the same.

* Whether we are prepared or not, the changing season will come.

* Whether we are prepared or not, the changing season will go.

* Every season brings with it some form of sadness and joy.

* Every season brings with it a lesson to learn, if not many.

* We may make new friends when the changing season comes.

* We may lose friends when the changing season goes.

* Seasons seem to come upon us really fast, sometimes even instantly, without any warning.

* Yet, strangely, seasons often seem to stay a bit too long.

* This is where Faith perseveres, for God always has a purpose. 

To be aware of the seasons changing… is to live.

To enjoy and appreciate them… is to live well."

Have an awesome week.
