P.S. That last slide is supposed to say @mytimeasmom not @twitter.com. I’m still learning iMovie and I made this at midnight. Whatever.
I think this video will further prove that my kids had a no bummer summer.
Now, if only I can get someone to watch my youngest (for free) starting next week when my oldest goes back to school so I can get caught up on things… #WishfulThinking

That looks like a great summer! I would like to get on the list to learn wakeboarding next summer. No, scratch that, all the weird lake creatures that could get me. I’ll just watch from the boat.
Elena recently posted..It’s Time To Be A Big Girl Now
I’m generally on the boat watching too. I like warm water and the snow we get doesn’t really create that.
Looks like a lot of fun to me – Wakeboard thing is new to me but also looks pretty neat. Honestly though now I am going to have nightmares about that GIANT PENGUIN!! W.C.C.
Wakeboarding is fun. The penguin was fake but was great for picture taking purposes.
Looks like you all had a great Summer! I can’t believe it’s almost over.

Nice! Looks totally fun. And that last pic of all 4 of you is great.
I wanted to do this one and then I realized I didn’t take any photos or video this summer. Must fix that.
Robin @ Farewell, Stranger recently posted..Blue Hair and Other Things: A Life List Update
It’s so hard to get pics of all 4 of us together since someone has to hold the camera.
I had so many pictures from the summer it was hard to decide what to use.
You must take more pictures. They are great for taking up space on the computer.
Twitter: FarewellStrangr
says:
Ha! One of my big problems is that they don’t even get on to the computer. They just take up space on my camera

Sounds like you need to add this to your life list.

I guess I need to actually do this one.

If your kids are anything like mine I bet they asked “What’s next mom?” even after all these fun adventures!
They were pretty good about not asking that but I did hear I’m bored and I’m hungry quite a few times.

That water looks refreshing. Glad the summer.was good.

The ocean was slightly cold but summer was good.
You did a great job with the iMovie. I like how you started it with the video and ended with the pictures. If you want to know anything about iMovies, give me a hollar, because I’ve done quiet a few of them, I love the program! Those transitions of the ripple effect, you can slow those down too if you want.

Thanks! I’ve been playing around in it a lot lately and I’ve got an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar to learn more about it.

What a cute video. #iloveyourhashtags My fave pic was the one of you and your girls on the beach. So precious!

I love that beach picture. I’ve got some other really good ones too that will be shown of at some point.

Fun! Your girls are so sweet! Why is everyone in the states starting school this week? *sigh* Mine won’t be in kindergarten for a whole day until Sept 14!!
Theresa recently posted..Jamie from Chosen Chaos {Leave the Nest Momma}
My daughter starts next Monday. WTF is up with yours not starting until the 14th?
I will happily watch your youngest for free if you can somehow coordinate my husband getting a new, very very well paying job. Like, his salary and mine combined.
Thank you.
KLZ recently posted..Free FALLin’
I will put my husband on the task of finding your husband a new job. I have to warn you my youngest is crazy. I hope that doesn’t change your mind.
That definitely looks like a no bummer summer! You’re certainly creating some good memories for those kiddos.
I hope they remember them.

Glad to see that you went to the Rodeo- that is always fun!! My kids would love it.
Gina recently posted..Life in Our Little Part of the World Today
The rodeo was fun but my oldest is such an animal lover that seeing the cowboys rope the cows and stuff was heartbreaking for her.
That definitely looks like a great summer.

We did. Thank you.
Awww, I loved this! So sweet. It looks like you had a great summer. I’ll totally watch your youngest…she would fit right in with my youngest
Yes please. I’ll bring her right over.
Oh my gravy you are all so cute I want you to adopt me so I can be a part of your family.
Except for the part where I’m a lot older than you.
So I guess I could be the old adopted aunt?
(think about it…)

You could be my aunt but not the old one. I don’t think you are that old.

Water play is essential in the summer.
