August, really?

I can't believe it is August already! How do these months keep passing by so quickly? July was a pretty busy month for me. We went on vacation to Colorado to visit my brother-in-law, sister-in-law and her kids. The girls loved seeing Ayden again and we saw some pretty cool sights. It was also nice to see something other than flat land. The mountains are amazing and really make me want to move to another state someday.

After Colorado we had a family reunion for my side of the family, down where my mom grew up. It was really nice to see everyone and catch up. My cousin from Poland even came and many people got to meet Ayden for the first time. He was such a ham for everyone.

The following week we relaxed at home and got back in a routine. Then this past weekend, we had David's work picnic at Cedar Point. I haven't been there in about three years and I know why. Don't get me wrong, we had a lot of fun, but it was hot and standing in line sweating was not my idea of fun. I hate being hot and sweating on top of that makes me cranky, so until we went to the pavilion for the raffle and ice cream social, I was not the best company. Sorry D! The Corkscrew and Magnum were fun and after the raffle we rode the old cars and carousel. We tried to win a huge Papa Smurf, but no luck. Then we decided to leave and go get dinner on our own, since Ayden was with Grandma. Due to construction and horrific traffic jams, we did not have dinner out, but once A was in bed, we had some subs we picked up and watched Limitless. It was a really good movie. There was one scene I thought was cheesy, but for the most part, the film was good and the musical score drew you in. Plus Bradley Cooper isn't so bad to look at.

On the baby front, this month we will be seriously trying again. Last month with vacation, was not conducive to baby making since there was no privacy. I am going out of town at the peak time though, so I'm not sure if this will be our cycle or not. Fingers crossed!

So now it is August and the summer is winding down. This makes me sad because I feel like our summer didn't start with nice weather until the end of June. We have a few fun things planned, but this month is much more low key than July. Thank goodness!

Hope you Arugust is off to a great start!
