Is summer really over!? It seems as if we wait all year for those 3 perfect months and it just flies by, doesn't it? MacGruber and I had a wonderfully busy summer filled with lots of sunshine and water. We had special adventures taking bike rides, exploring parks and visitng family and friends! I can't even begin to tell of all the little moments we had this summer, so instead, I will summarize with pictures. (I should post the many (like 20!) blog posts I started the past couple months and never finished. The little tidbits are humorous but when the beautiful weather is calling, it's hard to sit at the computer. And, ha! Who am I kidding!? I have a
very busy little man who doesn't really allow for much sitting anyway right now!)

A few thoughts for memories sake:
-Does ninja moves after watching "American Ninja" show with Mama and Daddy.
-Says, "like and kinda" all the time, example, "Mama, that food was like so kinda good!"
-Loves hearing and telling stories we (or he) make up!
-Still dislike getting hair washed in the bathtub and often say, "I just don't like that, Mama!" however, you have become such a great swimmer and don't mind getting splashed at the pool.
