August has been the ultimate R & R month….a month that got me back on my feet, feeling more like myself….I can now say that I feel NORMAL….whatever that is!  First we went up north to the cottage, then up to Kat’s cottage, and now this last week has been party week! 

We celebrated Colton’s UNbirthday on Saturday.  His real birthday is in December, but his parents are starting the tradition of having a party in his honor during the summer…. 

This was his favorite birthday present:

We got to meet Abby…what a doll!  She’s JR and Jennie’s daughter (who are my kids’ longtime friends). 

   Really, could she be any cuter…..

I will update August with more party pics over the next few days…..

And today we had a get together to meet our little Emily’s (my niece), big Marine beau, Ryan….

 He has to be a great guy to be so comfortable with all of the Kolars so quickly…..

And all 5 Capri’s were together today…..Annie, who just happens to be Emily’s mom, was here for the day too. 

It was so GOOD to see Annie again…..  

So I hadn’t mentioned that Lisa is her for a visit?  Well, yes….until next weekend….we have many Capri things to do this week.  What a great way to finish up this month of rest and relaxation. 

Next month its back to reality…..I’m ready!
