Afternoon in the Backyard

With summer weather coming to an end, the kids and I decided to take advantage of the nice warm 85 degree weather. I am sure it isn't going to last much longer but we were loving it today.
This is what a backyard afternoon consists of with my kids...

Jantsen: my oldest. Train-lover, or anything that can be connected somehow, leader, things are done HIS way, big brother. My buddy.

Kambryn: 2nd child. Only Girl. Loves dolls, babies, princesses, pink...I don't need to go on. Stubborn, total daddy's girl. My little side-kick.

Talan: baby of the family, the happiest and smiley-est baby, loves food, way chunky, his bottom 2 teeth are so cute, melts my heart everyday. My little monkey!

and me...I enjoyed reading while relaxing in a lounge chair, watching my kids enjoy the beautiful day.

The day didn't end all blissful with birds singing and sounds of children laughing. Oh no. It ended with a wrestling match on the tramp between Jantsen and Kambryn which went all wrong. Kambryn biting Jantsen and Jantsen punching Kambryn in the eye (no pictures of that).  oh yes, I was quickly reminded of my motherly duties and sibling fights. oh and Talan decided to read the Ensign, tear it up and then make a run for it too.

 

We are still hoping that Fall can hold off for a little while so we can enjoy a few more warm summer days.  We want a few more BBQ's, movies out on the deck and afternoon's spent in the backyard. And then...Fall can come.
