I love fall. I have always loved the fall-cool weather. But this year as we have started to pull out the jeans and sweatshirts I am not ready. I am still missing summer. Time is going so fast. I miss....
sleeping late with the kiddos and hanging out....
road trips
remote control car races
sweet little nieces and nephews
Washington DC
The Lake with friends
The beach
Popsicles
Blake's first youth conference in New York
camping with friends and cousins
Ice cream
Horse shoes
Lawn mower rides
Blake's first electric razor shaving experience!
Rat tail wars
Paper mache' crafts
cliff jumping
scout camping
bike rides
So farewell summer till next year!
Since school has started back life seems to be moving at an incredible fast pace. Steve is staying busy with work, scouting, and young men. Blake is training for his first year of high school wrestling. High school and early morning seminary-youth conferences-efy and life has been such a smooth transition for Blake. It is fun to watch him grow. Andrew is finishing up his first year of cross country and beginning his last year of middle school wrestling! He and Blake just finished their fall job keeping score at the ball park. Leah Beth is doing great at her new school and making lots of new friends! Caroline is our spice and keeps us all on our toes making sure we are on target with scriptures, prayers and kid dates! I am trying to juggle my last big 18 hour semester. I swore I wouldn't do 18 hours again to myself again but I only have 4 more classes next semester left to take so why not! I started my practicums this fall and I LOVE LOVE IT. I can't wait to finish! I am still stake primary president love traveling through out the stake getting to visit with all the primary. It is amazing the neat ideas I have taken from them! Our house is still for sale. It has been 7 months now. Showings are slow but I am sure in time we'll get to the land. We are hanging onto every last moment with our dear friends the Matheny's as they are preparing to move. We will miss them so much and can't imagine life here in Murfreesboro without them.

ok I am crying again! Life will not be the same without you guys in it on a daily basis. Just look at how many pics our kids are all in together. We are so intertwined! Our lives have been so blessed to have you as friends. We love you guys and will miss you greatly!
You guys are making ME cry! Gretchen, it's like your life just flashed before my eyes. I can't believe your kids (Blake esp.) is SO big....where has the time gone???
the kids have gotten so big. I love LB's shirt, yellow. The rat tails, and I like that you captured the moment as a family of blake shaving...priceless.
Loved the pictures! I feel the same way about summer... although I am welcoming cooler weather big time! Miss you guys!!!
