Bryden Luke is 6 months!!

I know it is always said, but I seriously can't believe this little man has been in our world for 6 months!!

 



He is the sweetest little man, I really do love him more each day, and I think his brother, sister and daddy would say the same thing.

I mean really, does it get any better!!!

Bryden is a good eater, if he isn't too distracted, he especially likes to eat at the table with us and eat whatever we are eating. He still likes to nap a lot, just not in his crib, he prefers to be held or in his swing - but I'm usually ok with that, I like him close to me all the time! He can now sit by himself for up to a minute.  He gets on all fours and rocks back and forth, he's even moved his hands and legs, but I'm not ready to call that a real crawl yet.  He smiles with his whole body, and has special smiles that are reserved for Brennar and Brilee, he lights up and the sight of them. Every time we are out with him in public someone will comment on what a happy smiley baby he is!  If he gets fussy, just take him outside and all is well with the world again. Bryden is also the squirmiest baby I have EVER seen, and that says a lot with my mom running a daycare and all my babysitting! But, he really can't help it, he wants to be in on the action all the time:) I could go on and on, if you haven't noticed he is our world!!! Happy 1/2 birthday Bryden Luke!

Our fun July

We had a little swim party a few weeks ago, we had 12 kiddos and 4 mommies here, it was so fun!  All the kids got along and had a great time with each other.  My only regret is that we didn't do it earlier in the summer so we could've done it 2 or 3 times!

The little mister is starting to eat solids - here was his first food - a red pepper

Bryden and his lady friend, Sadie - they are 2 months apart and already set to be married, come 20-25 years from now:)

We celebrated Clint's dinner at his parents house this year, one of the only times he didn't go to Benihana - I think he was a little sad about it, but we all had fun

Bryden with his Godparetnts

My kids adore their cousins.  I am sad they will probably only ever have 2, but we got the best 2 there could possibly be!

Best buds

Not sure how he ended up in this position??

Our friends told us about this little miniature golf course, so we took the kids to it. Tons of fun. But I think we all liked the go-carts best

Can't believe July is already long over:(

MN continued

 The weather wasn't great for us this year, but we made do. Still played in the water, just needed a little jacker:)

 My happy mister

 Brennar learning the ropes

 The little fishing queen had a blast, by the end of the week she would even touch the fish she caught

 While it rained we decided to dress B up as the wizard:)

 Our paddle boat adventure, we had a tendency to go in circles due to the lack of pedaling

 Bryden liked the water too, just more from a distance

 I never knew, but Brennar can walk on water

 My little man, I could squeeze him all day long! Luckily, he's a mama's boy and lets:)

MN trip

 We had a blast in MN again.  The kids love everything about the water; the boat, the fishing, the jet skis, you name it they love it!

They both drove the jet ski and thought that was pretty cool. It took Brilee a little later in the week to warm up to it, but once she did it, she was pretty happy with herself

 On the pontoon

 Brennar tubing behind the jetski - he was so brave, he didn't want to come back

 They really do have fun together, even if it's just messing around on a couch

 Hot dog!

 Sure, I'll let my 2 and 4 year old go out tubing together, alone in the middle of a lake, why not??

 Little miss sassy

 They were both nice enough to let me ride with them too:)

 Nothing like fishing with a kids spiderman pole!
