Labor day is always bitter sweet for me, because I know that summer is coming to an end. But at the same time I get excited for all the fall things to start (football, holidays, the beautiful fall colors, etc). Our labor day started off with a family bike ride, big breakfast, good ol nap, and then off to the lake.
Brooklynn loved the splash park!!!
Dance party at the slpash park.
There were all these seagulls the kids were chasing around, here you can see them pointing at them.
Brookie wishing she could get in on that action.
What would be labor day with out good food?
A little bocci ball.
The guys talking sports or politics, or both. Probably a little of both.
Definitely a good way to end the summer!
In the summer Derek works in the lab and does research for his professor. Now that school has started he is taking a few classes, still doing lab work and research, and this is the first semester he starts teaching. He is teaching an undergraduate Physical Chemistry class. So far, he is loving it!!!
What do Brookie and I do while Derek is busy with school? We play, of course. Play group & story times start up, YMCA (exercise and Brooklynn loves the kiddie pool), morning out, and lot's of playgrounds and walks . Now that I am in the 2nd trimester I feel like I have most of my energy back, and it feels really good. I am trying to live up having one kid and doing lot's, because I know when the new baby comes I won't want to go and do much at first.
Finally, I got this post done. Lately, I don't feel like there is much time for blogging. But I am going to "try" to be better at it. Wish me luck!

she is ADORABLE as always! I love love love fall, but wish it was longer than about 3 weeks here in Idaho! Question, does Derrick have a relative in Rexburg who's married?
I'm sure Derek does great at teaching. I wish I had Derek as a chemistry teacher, I probably would've done a lot better.
Brooklynn is getting so big! I hope I can come visit you guys this fall. I love ya.
Glad you guys had a fun labor day! After doing breakfast with friends we just deep cleaned our apartment. So sad to have summer go. Glad you're feeling more energy! It is definately way better after that first trimester!
