Summer Is Fading Fast...

Just yesterday Rick and I were talking about how grateful we have been that he didn't take summer term classes. He finished up spring term in mid June and had planned to just keep going through summer, fall and winter before graduating; however, with studying for months to take the MCAT, having a busy school schedule, volunteering at the hospital and with the Utah Valley Marathon and working on top of that things just got so so so so so busy. So he decided to take summer off. Yay! We both agree that it has been the best decision. He has had so many secondary applications for medical school to fill out that having classes on top of all that would have been crazy!! So we've been able to have an enjoyable couple months of summer and now Rick is looking forward to start school again instead of being burned out from it. 

Last week we spent the evening at Levi, Mitchell, and Wesley's first Cross Country meet of the year over at Kiwana's Park here in Provo. They did great! It was fun to watch all of them race and visit with Mike, Sundee and Jessica. Kimbri fell right asleep just after the race began as Grandma Sundee pushed her around in her stroller. She was so tired and ready to be asleep. It was a beautiful evening and perfect weather! I love this time of year when it starts to cool off and fall is upon us! 

Yesterday, since this is his last week before school starts, Rick and I decided to go out on an afternoon date. We went bowling because at Fat Cats everything is only 99 cents! So for $6 we rented shoes and each got to play two games of bowling. Kimbri fell asleep on the way there and slept the whole time! So that was nice of her to let us have a fun little date together. She just slept in the stroller right next to us while we bowled. Someday she'll be able to join us:)

I snapped a couple of pictures of Rick as he bowled...

...and then WITHOUT my knowledge he snapped a picture of me!! 

Beware, pregnant lady trying to bowl. Haha.

And here were the end results:

Notice how they spelled my name - Allena.
Never have I seen my name spelled that way before!

After our fun games of bowling we made our way over to Macey's to pick up some groceries. Kimbri woke up by the time we got there which was perfect timing if you ask me! We did a little shopping, which they have some great back to school sales going on right now, and then headed back home for the night. We ate leftovers for dinner. Best leftovers ever! Rice, chicken, and stir fry full of fresh vegetables from my dad's amazing garden that is in full bloom.  So each time we're in SF my parent's have been sending us home with all sorts of delicious goodies! A big thank you!

Fresh from the garden right into our dinner - cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, corn, squash, zucchini, green and red bell peppers. You name it, and my dad probably has it in his garden. We also got some pears and peaches from of the fruit trees and have been enjoying those, especially Kimbri. She LOVES the peaches! 

Anyway, I guess I'm ready for lunch because all this talk of food is making me hungry! 

Also....one last random thought. We get to have our ultrasound today!!!! In like 2 hours. I can't wait!
