Where did the Summer go????

I can't believe that summer is almost over. It has been a busy one for us. Aaron has now learned to military crawl (tummy) and is trying to pull himself up on things. Before I know it he'll be walking. He learned to do that at his Grandma Cindy's house while we were there to help take care of her.

Molli has been swimming and running through the sprinklers and Slip N Sliding her way through summer. She went along when it was time to start back to school shopping for her older cousins. Boy was that a lot of fun. She is now trying to get me to let her go to school too. She will start preschool in the fall and can't wait while I as her teacher can. She is really helpful when she want to be. She is really looking forward to learning ABCs and already knows most of her colors. We're working on shapes next.

Patti has had a busy summer. In the end of June, her mother had an ATV Accident. She ended up breaking 8 ribs (5 on the right side and 3 on the left) as well as the ball and neck of her right shoulder. She is doing much better. The family went to stay for a short time while her Dad went to visit His Family. As he got into the trip he found out that one brother in law broke his should and has not been able to move it since March. While another one was having difficulty swallowing so had exploratory surgery done on his throat only to find out that it was full of Cancer. Not a good news trip but he enjoyed himself.

Ben however had to work through most of the summer. He keeps wondering why? We are planning a vacation in September around his birthday and he can't wait. We're going to see some friends that we haven't seen in a while. He hasn't even had time to Geo cache. For those who don't know what that is I'll try to explain. It's what I call a Big Boy's Treasure Hunt or Hide and Seek Game. Using GPS Coordinates in order to find the cache. He has done some hiking with his Nephew Jacob. They made it all the way up Maple Mountain this summer. It took a while but they both had fun.
