Farewell Summer

Love the country views!  One of my favorite parts of being out of the city.  This view will never get old.  

Fun on the dirt pile with Mason and Micah.  Give my boys tractors and dirt and they are entertained for awhile!

While they were playing at our house, we walked out to get the mail in hopes that we could wave to their grandma Donna through the window where she works.  She didn't see us!

Date night at B Spot with the Kempfs.  A beautiful night to sit outside!

Another thing I really miss about summer.  Cookouts around the fire - the best!

First time in the big boy swing!

For not having a battery, this gator sure has gotten a lot of use :)

Smoking the pork for Andrew and Kassidy's wedding - up bright and early to get it started.

60+ pounds.  Smelled amazing!

Labor Day swim at my uncles pool - the pool is a good 40 years old and in questionable shape.  The water was...green.  Jenna and I supervised from the side ;)

Grandpa stopped in to check out what we were doing.  Hudson was happy to see him!

Happy to be eating at Chipotle!

Driving away in our new van.  Was sad to see the Highlander go but can honestly say I was excited.  Never ever thought I would say excited and van in the same sentence!

Whitney drove with me and the boys to Columbus to pick it up.  We of course sent Ben a selfie :)

Frosting cupcakes for Daddy's birthday - pantless!

Wayne County Fair fun! We went to the fair on Ben's birthday this year.

Waving to Carson on the helicopter ride.

After the fair my parents and Whitney came over for cupcakes.  Carson was so excited to show his daddy what we made him!

Happy Birthday Ben - we love you!
