End of Summer


Whew.... it has been a bit since I have written a post. My intention at the beginning of the year was to do better with my blog but I have failed. 

I am sad to see summer come to an end. We have had such a busy fun filled summer that I am not sure where June and July went. I tried to plan a lot of different fun things with Ryder this summer so that he can always remember how fun summer is. I loved summer when I was younger. We used to play cops & robbers late into the night and then sleep out on the trampoline. I loved every minute of it. I want Ryder to experience the fun times and excitement that summer brings.

Ryder is growing and changing so fast--it is fun and bittersweet. He loves to go swimming but his favorite thing to do is to ride his bike. He loves to do tricks on his bike and scooter. I swear he got his daredevil streak from Rick :) He loves his cousins and also his friends. His day is not complete if he has not played with his friend Beckam. 

He starts school this week. We asked him what last fun thing he wanted to do to bring summer to an end and he said, " to see the movie Planes and go on a bike race" so that is what we did. Rick and I have enjoyed this summer. We are lucky enough to be able to spend time & do lots of different things with both sides of the family.  I was talking to Ryder tonight and he said " mom I don't want to go to school, I want a longer vacation"- Well said Ryder. 
Even though I am sad to see summer come to an end I am also ready for Fall, that is my favorite time of the year. I am ready to get back to a routine of Ryder's schedule, work, calling and family. I am also excited for the upcoming Holidays. I know I will miss summer and the fun times we had and memories that will last forever.
