Recapping Another Month

August came and flew by.

Our summer didn't really start until the 3rd week of August... and by that I mean we had gray-cold rainy weather until then.  I thought about skipping the whole... 'I probably have Seasonal Affective Disorder from our crappy summer weather' post, but then thought if I read this blog ten years from now it'll help me remember that the summer of 2011 only had maybe... 6 sunny days and... yay... what a thing to remember.

I'll try again to recap this month in pics... or collages. Here goes:

We've started the remodel of both our upstairs bathrooms. 

When it's finished... I'll post before and after pics

We've gone camping and hung out with Sven Miller

We ate a lot of s'mores

I had surgery to remove a blackberry thorn from my knuckle and had my tendons tightened which was a little bit more than I had planned for (sorry if this pic grosses any one out). 

My sister Hana got engaged to her BF of 2 years, Jonny

We've learned to jump off a diving board

Caitlyn and Ashton went to their 'Meet and Greet' at their preschool

(Yes... you read that right... my little man is starting preschool too this year).

Thought I'd add another one of just Ashee cause it's cute

Just a few other things...

We went to the zoo a few times and to the sprayground.

We baked on the rainy days.

We had an 'alone weekend' and went to a wedding while the kids camped.

We flew kites.

We played with our cousins.

We went to a BBQ with our new friends  from church (which was totally fun because they all have kids Caitlyn and Ashton's age... the kids outnumbered the adults... and was so much fun).

I called in sick for too many days trying to recover from my hand surgery... thanks to my mom and husband for all your help and thanks to my children for helping take care of Mommy's huge owie.

August in a nutshell.
