Catch Up Time

So it is catch up time for our blog. My computer time has been spent reading everyone else's blog. Our summer is winding down and for that I am thankful. Only one week till school starts - but whose counting. Well, Zach is. He cannot wait for the first day of school. He is in AM Kindergarten. Almost three hours alone with Syd. Sigh!! I have many projects on my to do list and am anxious to get them checked off.

We enjoyed a weekend with nothing on the calendar. That hadn't happened in a long while and it was great to get a few things done but mostly have unscheduled fun. Friday night - dinner with friends. Saturday - bike ride and time at the park, a few chores, swimming and playing with our favorite 1 year old Mason. Last weekend we floated the Boise River. It is a must if you are a local. The boys loved it. I think white water rafting might be in our future. The boys also got to go spend a couple days at Grandpa and Grandma Wood's. The had fun going to the Burley Fair, seeing all the animals, watching the parade and eating all the good fair food. Zach said he would bring me a scone and well I am still waiting. I guess I'll have to wait till next year. It was a fun break for me. Syd and I had some good bonding time. Although I did sneak in some alone time to finish school shopping, see a movie with Steph amd enjoy an uninterrupted dinner. We saw Mamma Mia. Laugh out loud funny and cheesy at the same time. I dare to you take your significant other.

We had a blast with my brother's family. My kids were so bored the day after they left and the house was unusually quiet. We spent a day at the Water park and the older kids had a blast riding all of the big rides. Zach and Cristin were inseparable and loved playing together. I think we were successful in showing Scott and Carely that Boise/Meridian is a great place to live. Time will tell and we are all anxious to see what happens. I created a slide show with some pics of our good times.
