just LOVING summer lovin'!

This summer has been busy busy busy, and I hate to see it winding down.

Although I've felt like a crazy person trying to do everything that we've planned,

I'm just loving the summer lovin' going on in my life!

Here are a few snapshots of parts of our summer, that for some reason hadn't made it onto the blog yet:

Our street (Gramercy Ave.) has a little party called Gramercy Gab every Monday night - all the neighbors get together and play - this particular week we had a Karaoke party. 

It was stellar.

Here I am singing Summer Nights from Grease with my friend/landlord Heather.

Rich & Chuck singing Love Shack - it was like they'd never heard the song before in their lives HA!

We kidnapped Tyson (Richard's little bro) from their parents and brought him back up to stay with us for about 2 1/2 weeks.  Love the kid, but it's never happening again...or at least until we get a place with at least 2 bedrooms.  I need my fix of Matt, Meredith, Ann and Al in the mornings, and that just doesn't happen with a teenager sleeping on your couch.

Richard & Scott were feeling some hair envy and made Tyson shave his head with them.

Here we are, coming just around the river bend on the log flume at Lagoon.

We used some "free" passes we got when we bought our new car to spend the day with some of our BFF's, the Bates!

Welcome to Rattle Snake Rapids. 

And a trip to Pei Wei to close out the night...yummmmm!

Our friends from AZ, the Haws, finally decided to cash in on all the time we owe them for letting us crash at their house.  And its a good thing because it had been waaaay too long since we'd seen them!  We got to meet their new little heartbreaker, Brighton, and play with our favorite kids in the world, Annie & Jensen.  Plus, we like hanging out with Tyson & Kim, too.  Rich and Tyson were in the same mission in Chile, and now we're all friends for life!

Introduced Tyson to sushi at the Happy Sumo.

Went bowling for the very first time ever as a couple - funny that it only took us this long!

Celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary!!!

Richard got me a skillet, zester, new scissors (kind of a joke, but we really needed them ha!), and took me to dinner & a movie - Eclipse.  You know your husband really loves you when he'll take you to see such a ridiculous movie (that I've been dying to see, especially since all my friends/family/acquaintances had gone without me!) and buy you a bag of Pretzel M&M's to enjoy while you watch.

True love.

Did I mention I chopped all my hair off?

Short.  Fun.  Easy. 

Love it.

And I love this guy, too.

Summer's not over yet, and we're trying to squeeze every bit of fun & lovin' in while we can.

Go make the most of what summer there is left!

You know we are.
