Where has the summer gone?

This summer has gone by so fast... where has the time gone?

We had a great summer filled with family, friends, great cook-outs, lots of laughter, golfing, birthday parties, time in the pool, a fun new iPad, a little decorating and HOT summer mornings/afternoons/evenings... I don't remember the summers ever being this hot... it is so bad that we try to avoid being outside for more than a few hours. But besides the heat we had a great summer and are looking forward to a much cooler and fun filled fall!

So to sum up our fantastic summer here are a few photos to tell the story.

4th of July cook-out at our dear friends Michelle and Paul house.

Celebrated MomMom's birthday with some of the Overbeck clan.

Celebrated my sweet friend Sarah's birthday; super fun theme party - Cowboys and Indians!

A sleepy Sunday afternoon with my love.

New photo wall in our entry way... I got the idea from one of my favorite blogs... Young House Love!

My newest toy! It is so fun and I love using it everyday!

Fun pool day with Piper.

Uncle Jay and Piper at the pool. She isn't sure if she is a water baby just yet.

Our dear friend, Courtney, moved to Louisiana. We are sad to see her leave... but now we get to use "face-to-face" for fun video chats!

The boys being boys, James and Jay enjoying a fun summer evening by the pool... but how cute are they... matching swim-suits!

A visit from my sweet friend Kim and her precious kids, they are adorable. We even enjoyed an afternoon Waterway Cruiser ride on The Waterway.

This is Luke on our Cruiser ride... all he wanted to see was some frogs... no frog sightings this time, maybe we'll get lucky next time!

Sweet Langley enjoying an afternoon snack on the our Cruise ride. She turned one while they were here! She is growing up so fast!

This last Saturday night, Jay and I went to the Chairmans Ball and danced the night away!

They had a fun photo booth that we took advantage of for some funny memories.

Now it is time for cooler temperatures and football! Only two more weeks for college football. Jay couldn't be more excited.
