Although it's still over 90 degrees most days, Labor Day has passed and school is in session, therefore summer is officially over. Our last weeks of summer went by in a flash. Here are some highlights.
The kids have been wanting to go to an Owlz game all summer so we finally went. Hank didn't want to leave until the bitter end and Max and Sam kept themselves occupied at the playground.
Hank's favorite player on the Owlz...Hank Yates!
We paid my carni-workin' sister a visit at the Utah County Fair.
I must say Sarah makes those waders look good. She let the boys battle it out in the balls probably 10 times each. They had a blast.
I had the brilliant idea one day while I was drying my hair to have a multi-family yard sale to raise money for JDRF and Team Hank. I had done pretty well with my fundraising but I had to do something more. It was much more work than I imagined but I had so much help from my family to get it organized. I couldn't have pulled it off without them. Rick and Anna were here visiting and they sacrificed their vacation time by spent hours helping at the yard sale.
Here was just a portion of the items we were selling the night before the big day.
The most remarkable thing about this yard sale was the fact that all my family was there at 7:30 a.m. ready to help. Because of their donations and generosity along with my incredible friends and neighbors we were able to raise 1,200.00! I am still so amazed by that number and I'm so glad it was so successful.
After the yard sale, Randy took Rick, Anna, and the boys out on the boat.
Max is really perfecting his skills on the ski tube.
Hank loves when Rick is in town. He wants to spend every minute with him while he is here.
Like father like son!
Cool Cousins
Rick had his very own cheering section as he tried out the wake board.
Anna took this cute picture of the boys on the party boat!
We got the boat out again last weekend after waiting out a little storm.
Max and his ski tube were at it again.
He was doing all sorts of tricks with the handle.
Hank has had some serious wrecks on the tube this year and was not ready to get back on. He kept himself entertained by taking selfie after selfie on my phone. Hopefully we can get him back out before we store the boat for the winter.
Sam wanted to get in the "wa wa" so bad so Randy handed him to me and Hank and Max jumped off the boat to join us. I love that picture of me and my boys. I also got to try out the wake board. I'm feeling much more comfortable on it. It is so much fun! The only negative thing about being a boat owner is that I haven't played golf this summer. There is only so much time in the day. Hopefully this fall I can find my way to the links. After our boating trip, Max lost his first tooth!
I remember when that tooth came in! Max was so excited to put his tooth under his pillow for the tooth fairy. He can't wait to loose another one.
I'm sad to see summer come to a close but we have had one of the best ones yet. We've lived life to the fullest and created some incredible memories.

That hour you mongrels hit the utah county fair was the best hour of my Wave Running summer. Can't thank you enough for lowering your social standing a notch to support your dirtball sister.
