9 months

& in the blink of an eye, Hayes is 9 months. *cue the tears*

I’m blown away by the amount of milestones that he has hit just in the past week. He’s crawling, pulling himself up to furniture, trying to go up stairs,getting into EVERYTHING & won’t stop moving.

He has also been teething for a couple weeks. One tooth on the top has popped through & the other one has been on the verge for about a week now! He’s constantly chewing on anything he can find & like I said, just been moving ALL. DAY. LONG. So, he has wacked his mouth/face pretty dang hard on his crib, the coffee table & toys.

My heart can’t handle all the bumps & bruises.. Maybe I’ll just buy a bubble & shove him in it for a few years. 😉

We have an 8-month-old..

I really can’t believe this chunk turned 8 months old on July 24th.

Despite my efforts to make him smile, all we got was this straight face. I blame it on the nap he had just woken up from. 🙂 Believe me, this boy is all smiles about 90% of the day.

He’s almost crawling & almost pulling himself up next to couches & chairs.

He loves just about everyone & loves to snuggle & give big wet kisses.

Pie & Beer Day

Our July 24th weekend was eventful.

First, Hayesers hit 8 months old on the 24th. (craziness!) His 8 month photos are to come!

I taught a lesson in Relief Society.

We had a bbq with Clint’s side of the family on Sunday, which is always a blast. I’m so blessed to have married into such a wonderful family where I feel right at home.

During 2015, 8, YES I SAID EIGHT, babies were born on Clint’s side. All within 9 months of each other. It’s so fun to get them all together.

Here are 5 of the 8.

On Monday morning, my mom made the impossible decision to take our 14 year-old lab, Scout, to the vet. She was very old & had some serious health issues that were really effecting her happiness. It was really hard to see her in those last final days & we’re happy & relieved to know she is no longer in pain. My heart aches for my parents & I miss Scouty like nobody’s business.

Our Scout in her glory days.

Lastly, on Monday, we celebrated Pioneer (Pie & Beer) Day with my family. We downed way too many burgers, drank far too much root beer, & barely had the stomach to eat the amazing homemade pies.

We let the kiddos swim for a bit & we managed to snag some shots of them lovin’ on each other 🙂
