August part 2

Matt finally came home from Wisconsin on the 18th of August. That night dad and mom (& Declan) went to dinner and stayed in a hotel in Twin Falls while the boys stayed home with Grandma Yearsley.  Grandma headed back to Hamer the next day and we spent the afternoon at Dierkes Lake swimming, playing in the sand, fishing, and playing on the playground.  It was so fun to spend time as a family again! 

August 22nd marked the start of another school year!  Although mom was ready at this point after having been a single parent for nearly a month it did seem as though the summer just flew by way too fast.

August 27th marked the offical start of football season with the Annual MCYCFL Jamboree.  It ran a bit late, but it was still fun to see to see Chase and Trey play mini-games.

August 30th Matt celebrated his 36th birthday!  It was a rushed night with him getting home late then we had a dinner of roasted red peper and sausage pasta, salad, pineapple, and italian sodas (all his choosing of course).  He quickly opened his gifts and then it was time for Better Than __ cupcakes.  Then he and Chase were off to mutual for mud football--all of this took place in less than an hours time.  PHEW!
