Goodbye to Summer, Hello to Fall!

The cooler weather of Fall is very much welcomed in my life. While the Summer heat brought many fun times and new enjoyable memories, I am glad to see Fall.

This Summer we enjoyed going swimming at the Rec Center, where McKay loved swimming, the slides and not loved the water features getting him wet.

We had not just one, but two family weddings this Summer. Shannon Kerbaugh joined our family, (on the Forbush side), when she was sealed to Colby's brother Dexter, on August 13 in the Salt Lake Temple. Almost a month prier to Dexter and Shannon's wedding, my brother Jonathan married Anisa Bennett, on July 16 in the St. George Temple. They are both GREAT additions to our families.

Earlier this Summer we had our family pictures taken. Colby's sister, the lovely and talented Jenna Norwood, took them for us. Later in the Summer, right before Dexter and Shannon's wedding, we had the Forbush side's pictures done. It was actually the most painless, fastest experience I have ever had when it comes to family pictures.

Over Labor Day weekend, we spent the day with Colby's family up in the beautiful canyons. McKay loved roasting marshmallow's and playing near the water. He also did not take a nap and his new shoes fell in the water, after about 3.5 seconds, after our arrival. But that's okay. His cuteness makes up for all the not perfect moments.

For part of our 'End of Summer' party, we had my brother Blaine and his wife Angela, and Colby's brother Davis, over for dinner. We made Tin Foil Dinners in the fire pit out back. They were so good. They tasted just like camping feels. It was a hot but beautiful evening. A very nice break before school began on Monday.

Summer seemed too short this year, sense the Winter never wanted to end this year. But it was just enough time to really enjoy this beautiful Fall cool-down.
