seasons end!

So.... summer is over! 

and although i do LOVE winter i wouldn't throat punch anyone for making 

the other 3 seasons a little longer. 

shortening the coldest season to maybe just two, three months tops.

but alas, we live in UTAH so i will continue to embrace winter with open arms.

it would help if i could dust off my good old snow skis,

 but since i've been a literal incubator or soul food source of tiny humans for the past four seasons 

thats not in the cards. 

 but loving winter doesn't mean i cant miss summer. right?

i'll miss bear lake, and the beach.

i'll miss morning walks in a tank top.

the pool and the park.

the dirty boys that will now be replaced by muddy cold snot nosed boys.

 i'll miss the smell of freshly mowed grass that has only been back in our lives for a short 3 months.

i'll miss flip flops (but lets be honest, ill probably still wear them)

and naked boys in undies and diapers running around with out a care in the world. 

picnics, BBQ's, shaved ice, sprinklers, parades, longer days, tan lines,

really anything that screams summa' .....

i dont know why but summer seems simpler somehow.

we will miss you summer.

rest up! next year you'll have 3 echols boys to entertain.
