My favorite place!

I LOVE this place, this is what I could call, my perfect place, thankfully I will be there in the morning!

Didn't I say "Constant Change"



Yes, yet another change.  It looks as though Isaac will be leaving to training a little sooner than we expected.  Which brought a change to our family vacation this year.  It seems that we always pick September to take our family vacations, I love fall and all the beautiful autumn leaves.  Last year we visited Rocky Mountain National Park and had a wonderful time.  The temp was perfect, no crowds, and all the Elk were in rut, so wildlife viewing was real fun.  Skye even perfected her Elk call.  Well, I started planning early this year and had us all set up for Yellowstone during the 3rd week of September.  Well, that changed.  We have decided to take our vacation last minute and head up to Yellowstone, it will be a shorter stay, but we should have a goodtime!  I will most certainly be sad to miss seeing the Elk and leaves like last years vacation.

Peaches!

Our long awaited peaches are ready!  Last year I didn't plan accordingly and our peaches were prime while Isaac and I were in the middle of doing the master cleanse (10 days of only drinking spicy lemonade), let's just say I have been craving a good peach.  I made some fabulous peach lemonade (what is with all the lemons?) and wonderful oatmeal peach cookies to freeze.

Our fish!

We have always had the nickname "Fish" for Skye, she has loved the pool every since her first dip at the age of two.  So, I put Skye in three different sessions of swim lessons this summer.  I have spent many mornings this summer sitting by the pool watching her develop into a fantastic little swimmer. Charli sat beside me each and everyday.   She wasn't interested in the whole swimming lessons idea, even after watching numerous children her own age play water games.  I think when Charli is older you will likely find her laying out by the pool reading some magazine.  

Well, you think I would be a proud mother and record Skye's milestone, but no, I even briefly attempted to remind myself to take the camera on this, her last day.  I was reminded at my failure when I arrived today to see numerous video camera's, digital camera's and extended families, I mildly felt I was on a movie set.   My poor neglected children.  I have been so impressed by the progress Skye has made, she even won in her division in the little competition they hold at the end of each session.  She is a proud owner of a red water noodle due to her new found ability. Go Fish!
