I like all the Seasons of the year... Fall because its so pretty, Winter for Snowboarding, Spring because its my Birthday, and Summer time because uhh its Summer time!! (duh)
I love Summer because there is so much going on and so much to do, but it always goes so fast.
The last few years i felt like i totally missed it...
I feel like it's easy to recognize when Summer ends... but when does it start?
When school gets out, right?
If we were going by that this year, it still wouldn't be Summer at our house...
Does it start June 20th?
Technically yes, but that's not always the case either....
In my opinion, Summer starts when you have all (or some of) the Signs of Summer...
-Warm weather!
It's been in the 90s here for the last week(ish)!! Yay!
-Motorcycle rides!
this is our favorite pic of the summer (so far!)
-Moving the sprinkler every 40 minutes (that's kyle)
- Forgetting to move it every 40 minutes (that's me).
-BBQ (like every other night)
btw, this is the best BBQ sauce, Sweet Baby Ray's [Raspberry Chipotle] - try it, i dare you!
We are charcoal BBQers, I am still trying to perfect my charcoal cooking.... give me a stove and i am good to go! give me charcoal and your chicken might be a little chewy.
-Pasta salad!
-Sitting or laying or napping on the grass- in the sun of course!!
-Cute sandals-- Chacos!!
-Painted toenails.
-Listening to the wind chime in the evening!
-Having the windows open! In the car and house.
-Wakeboarding
-Playing at the lake (I miss boating so much!!)
courtesy of my dad for sending this wakeboard/ boat pic. I wish I was home!
Luckily we found a lake only a half hour away from our house! Yay!
-Camping! (Yuck Mosquitoes...!)
- Smelling like camp fire
-Eating dinner at 9pm because its still as light out as 6pm and time snuck by.
-Tan lines!
-Road Trips.
a little french fry fun-- we are entertained very easily
-Drinking lots and lots of Lemonade!!
-Pulling weeds.
so not my favorite chore, but on the happy side our flower beds look great
-Roasting marshmallows!
-Car/ motorcycle washes at home!
it's free at home!!!
-No make-up because my face is sun kissed!
-Popsicle for dinner? I think yes!!
(The cherry mango ones from Smiths are my favorite- ten pack for a dollar!!)
-Sunglasses!
-Bicycle / Longboard rides!
-Pretty sunsets!
oh, and i almost forgot....
-A cute husband riding a motorcycle

Yay for Summer Time!! I hope you all enjoy it while it lasts!
I can't wait until Kyle is out of school (3 more weeks) so we can enjoy our Summer a little more!
What are your favorite signs of Summer ?
HAPPY SUMMER Y'ALL!!
And lets not talk about the signs of Fall until atleast September please and thanks!
*I can't believe I just said y'all...I must be hanging out with Montana folks a lot ;)
Sweet Baby Rays is my FAVORITE!! You need to try all of their flavors but I prefer the Honey BBQ to them all. COME TO UT!!
ReplyDeleteLove you guys and your blog- do not love that you associated the word y'all with Montana. For shame Kaeleen!! That word is very southern. Not that Mt doesnt have its fair share of redneck words: boy howdy, crick, and so forth, but no ya'll! Hahah
ReplyDeleteHaha!! But the Montana people i am around the most all say y'all. AND the other day when i was talking about a truck i called it a 'pick up'... that's when it really hit me that i might be starting to turn a little Montana... but i am Ok with it... I love Montana!
ReplyDeleteYa Todd must have picked it up on the mission and Kyle when he was down in Georgia. And I too have learned to say pick up- that I believe is a Rowley thing since a "real" truck is a semi. What a funny family we have!
