Are you finding that my blog posts are getting farther and farther apart these days? Well you would be correct... and I am hating it.

Things have been insane for Air and I this month of July... Between Air’s job consuming his every waking minute, our second car being broken down, Air being quite ill, my talk in church last week, and we are still working on our bathroom renovation (almost done); I’ve been finding it a bit challenging to make sure that Ames has a decent first summer.

Oh and his first BIRTHDAY is coming up real soon! Can you even believe it?

Anyway, we are just counting down the days til our only vacation this year--Our trip to Utah in August! You have no idea how excited we are for my whole family to meet Ames, and for Ames to meet all of them. (not to mention how awesome it will be to have Air’s full attention away from his job for two whole weeks) This is gonna be great.

On a related topic: ↓↓↓ here is Ames learning to fold his arms for prayers, we love it! ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ the park in our neighborhood… Ames likes the sand in is toes ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ right behind our house there is this amazing yellow field and frog pond. We took a little walk back there the other day and Ames was so overwhelmed by the beauty he couldn’t stop giving me kisses ↓↓↓

 

↓↓↓ new favorite food is strawberries, I don’t blame him ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ countless hours of fun in his playhut and tunnel ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ splash parks are from heaven ↓↓↓

 

↓↓↓ also from heaven is our new car seat. Ames was SO ready to face forward and sit up we couldn’t wait to strap him into this beauty ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ the only downside is when he falls asleep and his head hangs, poor guy ↓↓↓

  

↓↓↓ we like having the missionaries over for dinner (there are a lot of them here these days), and they are big fans of Ames ↓↓↓
