my summer coming to an end....

Why I have loved summer of 2009:

(and most these pics are of our last week or so...)


Late warm nights

no school bells



Secret pool everyday (almost)



colorful flowers in full bloom

No schedules


my ipod blaring summer songs

Seeing gma and gpa Stott in Ohio (Niagara Falls too!)

Friends staying all night long

Tan lines


Popsicles galore


no homework (thank goodness)

the warm sun on my skin ( i think my soo favorite!)


snow shack

(cotton candy and red raspberry mixed!)



bedtime at midnight



hangin' with the cuz's all day



secret pond (oh so lovely there!)

late night walks



girls night out (love it!)


Moab trip with the Brown Fam (wahoo!)

hair in pony tails every day (seriously)

Ashlyn's swim meets (that's my girl!)

flip-flops (dirty feet!)


my birthday month full of love :)
(kims, Troys, Brett and Brie's too!)

Bear Lake with the girls

(bonfire under the stars and dancin' to Rascal)

fourth of July

bbq hamburgers and fresh corn on the cob

breakfast at 10:00 a.m.

family coming in town (miss you Bear and Em)


fireworks in the night sky


staying in swimsuits all day (the best!)


the American flag (I love my USA)

fishing into the late afternoon day

wading our feet in the cool mtn. stream

chocolate chip mint ice cream (RY's addiction)

sleeping in (rarely, but still no alarm clocks!)

tivo at midnight (guilty. Bachelor)

sister trip to Green Valley (love my girls!)

brownies and ice cream

Big Daddy pizza for dinner every other night

B A R E F E E T (my second fav.)

Thrillin' Thursdays


sprinklers in the hot 90 heat

fresh cut grass


hikes in the mountains (with scary rattler snakes!)

staying at the pool all afternoon long (oh yeah!)

secret sister lunches in the park

long jogs

Late night Red Mango runs

(original with fresh plump raspberries!)

So you think you can dance (go Jeanine)

heart attack/surprise parties :)

Being lazy

diet coke and red vines for lunch (yummm)

Secret Lake (who knew?!)

(do you like our cheesy pic?!)

Playing all. day. every. single. day.

Man we have had a great run.

(and I do attribute that to the fact that I have no more babies... diapers , naps, schedules...etc! My first summer in 10 yrs of freedom! Oh and free babysitting!

yaaaay!

Life is good)

You know summer is almost over when Halloween

pops up in the stores

and turtlenecks and sweaters are on display :(

We will miss our fab days of summer.

But we will try to gear up for

schedules,

sports,

homework,

and

awful, cold, wet S N O W,

(seriously should of moved to AZ for the warmth! ahh just kidding)

but we have enjoyed our time in the sun,

so no complaints for my summer of 09

thank you!
