whyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Summertime in the Fall

After the coldest summer I have ever had in my life, we FINALLY had a few record-breaking, hot days. Thank you very much.

We've decided, as a family, that we love lemurs

Presents

Lately Gwen's been the happy recipient of various random gifts. My girlfriend from high school - Liz - mailed her this special, hand-selected tutu (which she refuses to wear leggings under so she twirls around showing off her "big girl undies"), and her nursery teacher at church got her a pair of tap shoes (because she knows Gwen loves to dance). So nice, so kind.

Flugtag

Me and Ryan took a magical scooter ride into Long Beach to check out Redbull's Flugtag. It was a wonderful, sweaty experience.

Ryan's Montana Video

You better sit down if you decide to watch this - it's a very deep and thoughtful 8 minutes. Watch it here

Montana Trip

We spent almost 2 weeks in Montana with Ryan's family (so there are tons of pictures). Some of the trip highlights were:
Gwen riding horses as often as she could


Hours of tennis (resulting in hundreds of various bug bites)
Hike to Boulder Falls

Fourth of July fireworks


Lots of fishing


Hike to Baker Lake



and hanging out around the ranch



Oh, and Gwen got to spend some time in the cockpit of our plane on the way home.
