WARNING to all who live in Cedar Hills..... There is a new teen driver on the roads! Yes, Ethan got his permit! Now he can't wait to go on errands with me. I use to have to bribe him with lunch for him to spend time with me! He is actually doing quite well. I guess it does get easier with each child.

So, once again, Summer has sped by too fast. For me, it was too short this year. Especially since the warm weather didn't even start till mid July. We enjoyed having the newlyweds, Nathan and Scarlett living in our basement till they left last week for Logan UT to attend college. It was hard to see Kevin and Jen move back to DC. But it was fun to have family and friends visit for the Wedding, EFY, the 4th of July, and while they dropped off students for college.
In August we enjoyed 2 family reunions. I am so blessed in the In-Law department! The Rowbury's are so accepting, loving, and FUN. Anna and Garrett and their new dog Tyberias were able to come with us to the reunion. Garrett went white water rafting for the first time. Too bad it was so cold! We are blessed that all 9 of LaRon's siblings are still living. (LaRon is the youngest of 10 and the order is Girl / Boy / Girl / Boy all the way through all 10 kids) We have been meeting for these reunions for over 30 years. Since we are spread all over the US it is so nice that everyone is so committed to getting together every other year. I love these guys and appreciate their wisdom, example and love.
