Saying "Bye" To Summer

As a child I remember how fast the summers seemed to fly by. Well, I'm older and yet things haven't seemed to change much! Eric is starting school tomorrow and won't have much time off school from here on out. So we spent the weekend doing fun things to say "bye" to summer.

One morning we went to the Zoo. It got hot faster than we planned so the animals weren't very active but Kinsley and I had a great time cooling off in the water. After the Zoo we went to Eric's school and helped him clean/organize his locker.

Kinsley has been obsessed with ducks lately. She loves walking around the house and making her unique "duck call." (She has seen Eric call the ducks by covering his mouth... so she attempts it... attempts is the key word) We took her to Latimer Park to feed the ducks.

Justin, Jessica, Kyleigh & Mason said...: Do you make all of Kinsley's flower headbands or buy them somewhere? They are so cute and since Kyleigh still doesn't have any hair, I'm getting tired of just the pink or white bows that I have!!; August 31, 2009 at 11:40 AM
Luna said...: I have to tell you... it is kinda funny seeing the picture of the alligator as you talk about being in the pool. Year two can be rough.... but it does get better... I promise.; September 1, 2009 at 9:38 AM

Sister Marjorie Hinckley

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”
