Halfway to one


Tyler is 6 months! I love this age. They can sit up, play with toys, sometimes sleep through the night, laugh and interact. Basically, it's great that I don't have to be holding him all the time.
Tyler loves food, he is super loud and his laughs are contagious. Can't believe we're halfway through the first year though.

(Warning: Lots of photos. But I guess that's really nothing new....)











I love these little boys and am excited to see them interact more.


We had a family reunion a couple weeks ago and had a blast. Sam loved playing with his cousins.





They had the kids race and it was cute. Sam even got into it.







Andrew and Shiloh are moving out of state so we did a sibling date night after the reunion .It was so much fun and I couldn't ask for better siblings.



We went to an escape room and barely made it out in time and now we have immortality or something.









My kitchen helpers.
Also, Sam for some reason likes to get a wet washcloth and lay it on the floor and then lay his head on it. He's done this several times. Weirdy.


Tyler's graduated from being in his carrier on all of our outings. 


Sam basically never falls asleep unless he's in the car or in his bed, but the other day he was so tired he fell asleep twice on the couch. Unfortunately both times were right before meals. 



And last of all, we moved to River Heights. We're so thankful for the family and friends that were willing to help. And we're thankful to be moved in. It has been exhausting though.



And we're glad we still have two little windows at the front of the house on the stairs for the boys to watch out. :)

Aquarium


We haven't had a whole lot of time for our staycation this summer so far (good things our kids aren't in school yet and summer can just continue.) but the one thing that I absolutely wanted to do was go to the aquarium down in Draper. We took a trip down there on Saturday and it was so much fun. It was great to Sam running around so excited by everything in sight. I love watching him learn and grow and have new experiences. And I took way too many photos. Don't worry, I didn't include them all. 






I loved the shark tank with the tunnel. I probably could have sat in that room for hours
just watching all of the animals swim around.



Tyler didn't sleep the whole time, although I'm not sure how much he really enjoyed being stuck in the stroller for several hours.









Also, here's photos from the past month.







We went to the parade on the 24th of July and Sam actually understood the concept of getting candy this year, which I was super grateful for because it's awkward when I'm out there taking candy from little children.





Travis has been giving Tyler food and he loves it. Sam tried cotton candy for the first time and seemed to have a love hate relationship with it. 






Sam has been a really good helper while cleaning the house so that we could get it ready to put on the market. 



We went to the pool with Jennika and her two kids. Had to get some photos
since these kids are so close in age. :)



Also, I got to drive down to see Salt Lake to see my great friend Amanda
who was in town from Seattle. And she finally got to meet Tyler!


On our way back to Logan we stopped at Liberty park and played in their little river splash pad place.
Sam had a blast.



We took a bus ride up to campus to get our weekly ice cream at Aggie ice cream.



And Sam hasn't fallen out of bed in weeks!!
