Goodbye Free Time, We'll Miss Your Loveliness


Last week, my friend Amber and I, took our brood out on a bike trail in Park City and to the Farmer's Market. It was so fun.
Yesterday we took our kids to the Zoo, barring the tantrums and occasional complaining, it was fun. That zoo has gotten so much nicer and I get so excited on that carosel!
This is an illustration of one of Brody's tantrums and my take on it, just laughing...while he hits and kicks me. I love boys.
A rare moment of sisterly togetherness.
Every year I have mini nervous breakdown, sending them to school. I worry, worry, worry. Despite that, every year they have oodles of fun, grow and make new friends that they love. I'm not sure why I'm not able to remember that until Rob says it, while rolling his eyes :). He puts up with so much emotional duress, poor man. He gives me such stability. Anywho, it is back to school for them and a little tinge of lonliness for mommy.

I love the zoo. We get memberships every year and I never regret it. I hope you got to see some of the new baby animals. I love the tantrum pic. Priceless!

I wish when Dallin threw tantrums he looked like Brody does; he doesn't even look mad! What fun things you're doing with your kids! I can't believe summer is already over....
