Summer's Final Weekend

We were so sad that summer was almost over so we filled our final weekend with some fun activities! Friday night David and I went to an O's game. Just the two of us. It was SOOOOOO much fun!

We got some major laughs watching these two guys sitting a few rows over from us who were so very, very drunk. They finally fell asleep and slept through the fifth, sixth, and seventh innings. Too bad the O's lost.

Saturday morning we got to watch our little No play in his football game. It was up in Jarrettsville and was such a cold morning!

It was a close game and our guys really played tough but went home with the loss.

Some amazing skies over the weekend.

This was the first year the kids didn't have to start school until after Labor Day which was awesome! However, the kids decided not to join us up in Pennsylvania on Labor Day to watch Alex Wardle play in one of his Penn St. Harrisburg soccer games. We are so proud of him for making the team and are grateful we live close enough that we were able to catch a game.

Although he didn't start, he got a lot of playing time.

Celebrating their victory!

Little August Memories

August was full of just those simple, everyday memories as summer started to wind down. The boys took some golf lessons.

And every night either David or I headed off to the football field to watch the boys practice. Noah wasn't too fond of David's kisses this particular night.

This cracked me up! Noah had to go up against the biggest kid on the team and try to take him down, ha ha!

Not once but several times. He sure gave it his all!

At least the August evenings are absolutely beautiful!

I finally received my YW medallion. Yay for me!

There were several parties we attended - Savannah's Celtic team had a swim party.

Love these girls!

Our next door neighbors had a big celebration for Tito Ador's 60th birthday.

Family!

And we spent a fun evening at Adam and O'Reilly's engagement party. Elder Benson can always make us laugh...

and David is lovin' some pie!

We enjoyed sleeping in...

and lazy mornings. Xander even made breakfast for his siblings from time to time.

And there was lots and lots of goofing off!

It'll be hard to say goodbye to summer!

YW Activities

We had lots of fun activities with the young women in the month of August. One evening we checked out the King and Queen Seat at Rock State Park. Savannah and I took some goofy selfies while waiting for the others to get there.

Such a beautiful spot!

Such a fun group!

I love the fog!

Some pretty old carvings in the rocks.

The brave ones...

and those of us who didn't want to venture out too far.

And of course we had to do some photo shoots.

Our service project - making PB&J sandwiches for the homeless.

A stake fireside recapping Trek.

And a wonderful morning spent doing temple baptisms.
