Photo Dump...with stories!

Rhett got to go swimming for the very first time recently! Josh's family came out to visit, and we went for a dip in the hotel pool. Rhett liked it less than I thought he would, though that was probably at least partly because he was exhausted from the busy day! He didn't cry or seem terribly upset, but he didn't exactly have fun either. He had a death grip on us the entire time we were in the water, and was really only playful when he could put his feet down on something. 


Also, we recently went to a friend's wedding in Nebraska! We had a lot of fun over the weekend, and the drive wasn't half bad either. But the morning of the wedding, we had a hell of a time finding something open for breakfast in small-town Nebraska. We ended up in a combination diner/gas station/bar at about 9:30 in the morning. There were taxidermied animals all over the place, and plenty of fisherman drinking at the bar! I thought it was all pretty hilarious so I snapped this photo of Rhett eating french toast in a bar. (Also how cool is his shirt?)

We went to the park last Monday and Josh and Rhett sat and watched cars go by on the highway for some time. It was such a pretty day and Rhett had so much fun. He loves observing and watching things


Rhett and Josh continue to be adorable together. They love to wrestle and cuddle. Rhett has become a big fan of crawling all over us and he thinks it's HILARIOUS when we do it back.

What can I say?

I've really been failing at blogging lately. I've been failing at taking pictures, which is really sad, because Rhett grows and changes every day and i need to remember these things. I've been reflecting a bit lately on how exciting his first year was. I used to take pictures all the time and text people when he did something new. I don't do that anymore. He's less...new. Than he was a year ago. It makes me sad, but it's also a sign of how much he's grown into our family. He's a true member of the family now with his own desires and he certainly makes them known.

We're doing really well. We're very happy with our little family of three. Very comfortable. We love each other and life has been good. The summer already feels like it's flying by! Josh finally received all his grades back. He's gotten all A's and B's in seminary so far and I couldn't be prouder. He's truly excelled this year in his schoolwork, and in his vocation as a husband and father.

I promise I'll post photos and videos soon. Rhett is very special and I WILL document more of his life. Promise!!!
