So long summer time...

It's officially been 10 weeks since I've spent a night in my own home. What does this mean??? A couple of things:
  1. That I'll be really grateful to be back there, hopefully this weekend!!
  2. That I owe a big thank-you to all our friends and family who have so graciously allowed me to stay at their place
  3. That my husband is overworked and underfed with no wife there to feed him
  4. That I don't want to pack, live out of, lift, or even look at a suitcase for a really long time
  5. That this summer has been one continuous holiday it seems!
Here's a summer picture summary. I apologize for the overload but if you didn't want to see the pictures you probably wouldn't be here anyways!
I spent a week in Seattle at my fabulous Aunt Marni's. She talks, looks a little like, thinks, and even wears the same PJ's as my mom so I love being there, for the opportunity to spend time with her (and her fam) and for the physical reminder of how great my mom was. This is my cousin Callie who is 15 and should be a supermodel.
Pikes Pig!
Don't you just want to squish that face?!
Next stop was Sandpoint, Idaho with all the Bowden clan, which we've done for as long as I can remember. (Sorry I'd flip this picture but I just don't know how to from here)
My G-pa and G-ma are the greatest ever. Seriously. Mr. Smith standing over my Grandpa's famous, to die for, homemade root beer.
Magrath days! Petting zoo, kid races, Snowbobs, parade (minus the deadly water balloons which are now banned due to the Dahls), beef on a bun, visiting with family and friends, town fireworks, family fireworks, who could ask for more!
Watching the fireworks
Sunday in the Balderson's yard
Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Balderson!
Just for the record I don't approve of this but Carter loves it
All tuckered out after the big day
There were plenty more fun activities around Calgary and Lethbridge that I've left un-photographed such as barbeques with friends, zoo trips, waterton trips, a day at Park Lake, splash park visits and what not. Oh summer time how I'll miss you....

  1. Yeah I love the update. I love all the pictures, you look gorgeous in all of them and Carter is one handsome boy!
    I have hated you being away this summer and I know you have hated not having a house but when you look back on it, it really was a fun summer. A lot more fun than mine was!

  2. I agree, I miss summer already, and you don't have to apologize for picture overload especially with a boy as cute as Carter. Are you happy in your house or just in your house?

  3. EEEEEEeeeek! I didn't know you had a blog! Count me as one of your official stalkers! And yes I like cheese. We were having the missionaries over one night for dinner and one of them is lactose intolerant, I was stressing b/c seriously every recipie I love has a butt load of cheese. It's delicious you can't deny it (unless you're lactose intolerant).
