Labor Day

Dan is in the Young Men's presidency so he had the opportunity of waking up at 6:15 am to prepare and serve food for the ward breakfast fundraiser! The kids and I rode bikes to the church pavillion and enjoyed pancakes, eggs, hash browns and ham all covered in syrup, whipped cream and ketchup. Yum....
This is the beautiful park we get to ride through to get to our church. Now that Summer can ride a two wheeler, we love going on family bike rides to Nielsen Grove park. There are so many dirt and sidewalk trails to follow. Summer loves to be the leader!
A very stormy day. The air smelled wonderful and the flowers looked so vibrant. While I'm enjoying a rare summer thunderstorm, in my cozy loft wearing fuzzy pajames; I'm watching the weather channel tracking hurricane Gustav and praying for those who have evacuated from New Orleans. How discouraging for all of those who have worked so hard to rebuild their homes and now have to leave it all behind again.
I love this guy! I told him I would pay him $1 if he would let me take his picture. He was excited and told me for $1 I would get some awesome poses from him. He was mad that I didn't like his poses of Power Rangers, New Kids on the Block "the sprinkler" moves or the Incredible Hulk. He said I would have to pay $2 to get a boring pose. I think it was worth it. This is one that I could frame.

I really like the park you get to ride through! Thinking of a pancake breakfast made me smile and reminisce. I miss those sorts of traditions. The British only eat pancakes one day of the year, which happens to be national pancake day. They play silly games like pancake toss and they eat them for dinner.

I love those pictures. It looks so beautiful at the park. I need to take the kids there and take some pictures. You are so cute. Ethan knows what he is doing. I can't tell you how many times we have talked money. He is so funny. I love seeing Summer on her bike. We miss them lots and we need to get together. Tell them Hi for us.

That IS a great park - we go there a few times each summer, even though it's a bit of a drive for us. I envy you being able to ride your bikes there. You got some great pics!
