How quickly the summer goes

Summer has been just sort-of jam packed, but aren't they always? It definitely hasn't been very relaxing just go go go. It has been enjoyable just busy.
I think it will reach 100 today, it's been very warm and dry this past month only to get more so for Aug. I hope it cools off for the week of the fair and that is looming and very soon.
Remember those uncomplicated days of summer...Ah to be 10 again:) Those were great times, I really had such a wonderful childhood.
Thatcher is sure enjoying time outside...like almost all of his time. He just can't get enough of it. He loves being with all of his grandpa's even those adopted ones:) He loves riding the tractor and the lawnmower and he thinks whatever they are doing is so interesting. He love to follow his "dada" around as well and "help out" as much as he can, he tries so very hard...sweet thing.
My baby is growing up and says so many things, he is picking up so much so quickly. He will try and say everything it may not sound like much but he knows exactly what he means. It's a pity i don't always know what he means but i am learning quickly that a "pady pady pady" said in a whining voice means he's tried and want his pacifier. He is actually doing very well at communicating and knows well over 20 words.








He is becoming a great camper a week in Montana for our Lee family reunion (he doesn't like fireworks yet) and last week, if you can call it camping for our Triathlon Down in Burley Idaho. He cheered his little heart out for mommy and daddy. My sister Brie was a sweetheart and came down to help out with the little man while we raced. Landon finished about an hour a head of me but for not training AT ALL I think I did great and surprisingly wasn't that soar. My friend Drashell did it as well and since she runs 10 plus miles on almost a daily bases...ok she trains for all events. She beat us both, not really a shocker.
Thatcher was also the ring-bearer at his Uncle Tyrels wedding, he looked so cute and kept clean for long enough:)
I also survived girls camp away from him and he and daddy bonded some more.
