End of Summer

 Life is good and some times I just need to remember that!

Our AC has been broken all summer (we didn't know because of previous bad AC units) but we finally got it fixed at the end of August. The day they fixed it they had to turn it off all day. It was brutal. 

 Ethan and I went on a date to Rudy's smoke house and Target

We can't wait for winter and since its coming very slowly we decided to escape to Flagstaff for a day to enjoy being outside. We just needed to get out and walk around.

This is on the way up to Flagstaff but I love the landscape in Arizona

At the trailhead

  After lunch and our hike we just played outside at a park. It was so much fun and so comfortable!

Madison wants me to hold her all the time and cries when I don't. We have found that selfies calm her down, but since I can't see the screen, we find some gems on our phones. This one is my favorite

 Swimming lessons ended at the end of August and they were such a huge success. I am so proud of Kelsey. She ended being able to confidently jump in the pool, swim to the side, jump off the diving board, put her face in the water, grab a ring at the bottom of the pool with help, get out of the pool from the side (which made me almost pee my pants because it was so cute and funny. The determination was epic) and float on her back. Best four week activity we have ever done in her little life. My favorite part was watching her put on her gobbles and wear her swimming suits.

Madison loves to watch me drive
I always tease Ethan because he forgets to wear his wedding ring. He most recently forgot to wear it when he went to Seattle and so we had some fun with Kelsey and the ring.

 Can't get enough of this hat!

I get the stare down a lot lately...

 We wanted to do a picnic for Labor Day but it was 105. We made do. Labor Day ended up being really fun. Ethan had to work in the morning but after our picnic, we went to the park and met this nice old man and his dog, Ethan played one on one with some kid, and me and the girls got to swing. I just love that the mornings and nights are finally dropping to the 90s so we can get out side some. Winter is going to be AWESOME!!!!
