I went downstairs for about two seconds and came up to these two hooligans looking like this. P.S. Rhett was in that bouncer when I went downstairs. Notice how the bouncer is tipped over? Rhett never cried at all and they were both smiling and laughing when I came up. What?? Ha ha… 

Came out from putting Rhett down for a nap to find this

Brushing teeth "all by myself"

Mia:

"This is a nice dinner mom"

While I was nursing Rhett- "You feeding Rhett with your elbows, mommy?"

I was reading a book and Mia came and sat by me and asked "What does is say mommy? Mia loves mommy and daddy?"

One of my favorite things Mia has ever said: "I love you mommy… We'll be best friends forever!"

Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day weekend was so full of family, food, and fun. Saturday we swam at Grandma and Grandpa Smith's. Rhett loved his first time in the water

Is she real??…:)

 We went to church with the Brower's on Sunday to hear Grandma Kim give a talk in sacrament. She gave the sweetest testimony about how living the gospel blesses our families. I had to work on Saturday night, and when I got home the kids were up, so I was running on no sleep at church. After sacrament, Rhett wasn't in the mood to sit in class. He was tired and wanted to walk around in the halls :). For a minute while I was roaming the halls with my sweet baby, tired feet, back, and arms, I debated if it was even worth it to stay since I wasn't really able to listen and it would be so much easier to take Rhett home and put him to bed and hopefully catch a few minutes of sleep myself.  I thought about what sweet Grandma Kim had talked about in sacrament and decided to head to the mothers room instead. I rocked little Rhett and listened to the next ward's sacrament meeting through the intercom. Rhett fell asleep and I was able to lay him down and give my arms and back a rest. The spirit was there as I spent the sweetest hour staring at baby Rhett while he slept and being spiritually recharged. Feeling the spirit and being where the Lord wanted me to be was absolutely more rejuvenating than the hour of sleep would have been. I'm so grateful for the Gospel.

 On Monday we had a BBQ at Grandma and Grandpa Bitter's and hung out with cousins. I think Mia loves swings more than any other child I have ever met :)

 Rhett was tired and hungry, and Mia understood…:)

 We discovered Rhett looks a little bit like baby Uncle Bruce.

 And I fell more in love with this boy.

Rhett, you seriously are so cute sometimes I think my heart can't handle it! So much has happened this month! Rhett mastered sitting and he rolls everywhere! He is so close to crawling and he loves to get up on all fours and rock back and forth as he tries to figure it out, but he usually ends up scooting backwards instead. He eats a lot of solid food now, and he loves to eat! He loves playing with toys and using his hands more and more. He chews and gnaws on his hands, especially his thumb, in the most adorable way. He goes to bed between 7:30 and 8:30 at night and has been waking up at 4:00-5:00 to eat, then going to bed again until 7:30-8:30 with 3 naps during the day. He seriously is the happiest most perfect baby boy. He loves to move and is constantly brightening up our lives with his adorable smile that almost never leaves his face. Mia might kill him with all her loving squeezes and rough play, but Rhett seriously thinks she is hilarious and they adore each other.

For at least a week after noticing this mark on Rhett's finger, I thought it was some sort of smudge. Turns out its actually the cutest little birth mark ever.

I seriously love the way this boy chews his fingers and thumb. Especially when there is a smile behind it!

 Rhett rolled right under the bed when I was in the other room
