summer times

Matt and Austin went backpacking up in the Sawtooths this weekend and we stayed home and held down the fort. they had fun and are sore to prove it. it is amazing that whenever we are apart I realize how much we work together on things and how much we are a family. Matt does so much around here and with the business it is good to remember that in a physican way every so often. i appreciate him so so much. i know Will was different because he wasn’t around too. Will and I did have some fun Momma and Will time though. Will is growing everyday and has become more and more independent. Like trying to swim on his own with no help from me or flotation devices. hmmm… he went on his first rollercoaster ride at the fair this week and he jumped of a little waterfall into a swimming pond up at the cabin. he has no fear. which i haven’t decided if i like yet. summer has gone by so fast and i will admit i am ready for fall. things tend to fall more into a routine in the fall and life just settles down a bit.
