Goodbye summer! :(

With Nick and I both graduated now, there wasn't an official "end" to our summer this year with school starting back up. But when it snowed here in the valley last week, I thought, ok I guess this means our warm weather is officially gone and the cold is here to stay! It was a little bit depressing. I hate winter because I hate being cold! We didn't go on the usual vacation (or 2 or 3 or 4!) this summer with the new baby and all, but we still did a lot and had a lot of fun! Here are some pictures of a few other things we did this summer that I haven't posted yet...

*We went on a lot of hikes (with Nick carrying the baby every time! Thanks babe!) :)

This one is us at the top of Donut Falls (sorry, a little dark to see)

Saw another moose... 4th one in a week!

(in case you can't tell, it's the moose's eyes glowing in the dark!)

The little trooper

Keepin it gangsta! (Her beanie kept falling down)

*We hiked up to Mary's Lake with our friends Kyle, Whitney and baby Ezra, and had a picnic lunch at the top with our Subways.

*Maddie had fun hangin out with the cousins!

Nathan and Madison are about 5 weeks apart.

*I finally convinced Nick (or bribed him, I can't remember!! :) ) to come rollerblading with me! He agreed, but only in the parkway where we couldn't be seen! Ha Ha It was fun and it's something outdoorsy we could do with Madison in the stroller so I figured why not?! I know he loved it, don't let him tell you otherwise! :) Here is us just being dorks!...

See Nick, rollerblading totally beats longboarding!! :) Hehe

*I was so excited when I found this little outfit off of my sister's Hawaiin Build-A-Bear to dress Madison in for the ward luau! She looked so cute!

Aloha!!

*Nick is opposite of me when it comes to seasons. He loves it when the weather starts getting cooler because he says that means one thing... football season is here!! We got Utah season tickets for the 5th year in a row and have brought Madison to the first 2 games and took advantage while the weather was still nice. She did surprisingly well and wasn't bothered by all the loud cheering. She enjoyed looking around at everything and even slept through some of it. (How does that work??)

Utes youngest cheerleader!

I loved the face so much I had to do a close up!....Precious!

She got sick of cheering so she thought she'd just eat the pom pom instead! Much better! :)

(Notice the red football burp cloth that Maire made especially for game days!)

Tailgating party

Goodbye Summer... Hello Fall!
