August Happenings

 Maybe someday I'll do more than just a monthly recap.  But let's face it, these days I'm doing well just posting at all.  Trying hard to make sure at least some of the things get documented.

August kept us hopping, as usual.  We celebrated Kate and Sage.  Kate had her cute friends over.  Sage decided she wanted hair, eyebrows, and lashes done.  All in all, fairly low-key birthdays.  I will say I'm grateful every day for my girls.  I love talking to them and seeing their amazing personalities shine as they get older.  It's the best.

School started.  How is it that my youngest is in high school?!  And how can I have another senior?  I'm not ready for either of those things.  Zack came home from his internship, was here for 2 days, and left for school again.  Would have been nice to have him home more, just sayin.  Sage took a few days to adjust to high school (there were lots of naps) but now she's handling it like a champ.  Kate sometimes goes to school.  It seems like she has a lot of open classes.  So different than back in the olden days.

Race season started for mountain bike team.  This always makes our business like double because every other weekend we head somewhere to race.  It feels like a lot.  Good thing we enjoy it!  Sage is killing it this year and so far has moved up a couple of spots at every race.  I don't know how she does it.

As always I'll let the pictures do most of the story telling.

The preride of the race course in Manti was so so dusty.  And then I wrecked, which just added to the dust.  This picture does not adequately show how dusty I was.

Kate and our neighbor coached little kid mountain bikers for their job all summer.  They had some great stories.

Fun at the Manti pre-ride

Sage used her organizing skills to make a little bag that has everything in it she could possibly need at school.  She should sell them.

Every once in a while Sage will ride with us
