We're already well into FALL and here I am posting pictures from our AWESOME SUMMER...well...that's what happens when you have a high-schooler, a junior high-schooler, and a toddler running around. Things get so busy around this house, and before we know it, summer is over and I'm hanging up the Halloween decorations (yay! by the way). Speaking of Halloween, don't forget to vote on the latest poll!
Ok, ok...back to the task at hand:
I present to you our Best of...SUMMER EDITION
 |
| We were finally able to get Owen to enjoy being in the water. He turned into a little fish this summer thanks to our friends, Niki and Christian, for buying a house with a pool :) |
 |
| We spent the 4th of July in Sun Valley this year. This is Andrew and Owen smiling for the camera before we played in the bamboo huts in Downtown Ketchum. |
 |
| Harrison and Owen in front of the bamboo huts. Would you look at those smiles?!?! |
 |
| We went a "leisurely" 16 mi. bike ride :) |
 |
| Brian riding with the baby trailer |
 |
| The Sucher Clan with our "Kiwi" relatives from New Zealand. We had such a fun weekend with Aunt Patty and cousin Hayward. |
 |
| Owen got to tag along with Mommy to Sunny San-dy Ah-go. Doesn't He make the cutest beach bunny ever?! |
 |
| Owen and I enjoying our BEACH DAY in Del Mar |
 |
| Mommy, Daddy, and Owen enjoying one of the many backyard pool party at the Barwick Homestead |
 |
| This one is a little fuzzy, but Brian and I love the face that Owen is making. Needless to say, he started to walk this summer (at approximately 13 months) |
 |
| Another one we captured of Owen in his first few days of being a WALKER. He kept his arms up for the longest time, it was so cute to watch him toddle around the house :) |
 |
| Harrison is now a CERTIFIED LIFEGUARD! He took his certification in Ketchum, ID this summer and this is him at his celebratory dinner. We are SO SO proud of him. I think he even lined up a job for himself next summer at the YMCA in Sun Valley! |
 |
| And this cool dude on the golf course is Andrew...at the Sun Valley Golf Club that is |
 |
| Harrison with Grammy and Papa celebrating his Lifeguard Certification |
 |
| Another shot of Owen playing in the pool (thank goodness he likes the water now) |
 |
| One of Owen's many road trips. This kid ROCKS on long drives as long as we have BINKS, WOOBIE, and a good book |
 |
| Andrew and I about to take a 12 mi bike ride with Owen in tow. |
 |
| Waiting for someone to take him somewhere... |
 |
| The scenery on our 16 miler was so GORGEOUS |
 |
| Owen's Aunt Wendy let us have their old bike trailer! Owen loves to go on bike rides. |
 |
| About to go on his first airplane ride. He was a CHAMP on the way there...on the way back...NOT SO MUCH |
 |
| Kiss-y face...muah! Another one from the beach |
 |
| Daddy and Owen in the pool |
 |
| Owen walking in to his room all by himself |
 |
| Owen started "school" in the middle of August. I was a nervous wreck on the first day...but Owen...he walked up to Miss Sally and gave her a big hug..."NO BIG DEAL, MOM, I GOT THIS" |
 |
| Owen packing his toothbrush up in his back pack before we go to school. He looks like such a big boy in this picture. |
 |
| oh, and he had to pack his little shark water strainer thing behind him...hahaha! |
 |
| Owen and Andrew watching the Wagon Days Parade in Ketchum, ID |
 |
| Dancin' with Daddy at Rotary Park. This kid LOVES to dance! |
 |
