Zach and I played in a golf benefit with my brother, Zach, and his fiancé, Megan

Our Friday football games are still happening.  This is the first game of the season.  Four games in, we are undefeated and ranked number 1.

Since we were out past dark for the game, we had to drive by Fischer Fountain

Fire pitting next door

Zach's Tatto

 Seven years ago I wrote a post about my mom's 60th birthday.  All of her kids planned something adventurous to do with her.  Zach and my mom planned to get tattoos together, but it took seven years for it to actually happen.

First day of school

Our first day of school was August 18th.  It was nice to have a later start date this year.

We were all so excited to have in-person school and be out of the house for awhile.  Wearing masks all day will take some getting used to, but we will gladly wear them if it means we're at school.

4th Grade

Zach moved to 8th grade math this year

I am looping with my students to 4th grade.  That means I get the same kids as last year, which will be great.  I have not taught 4th before, so that will be a learning experience.

Quinn's birthday

Quinn turned 4 and had a birthday party at Mormon Island.  We had a great day!

the birthday girl got the first swing

There were two babies there that Monroe loved holding

We got Quinn this rocket launcher.

Happy birthday, Quinnie!

Last week of summer adventures

I always try to make the last week of summer extra special before Zach and I report back to work.  We try to squeeze in activities we didn't get to or repeat our favorites.  During the last week we...

went to a Sodbusters game,

swam at our friends' pool,

did slip n slide with the neighbors,

had a picnic at the lake,

went golfing,

visited the museum,

and took some friends to the pool.

It was a fun last week, as always.
