4th of July Weekend

The weekend of the 4th, we went camping overnight with my siblings. We had the funnest time being with everyone and getting super dirty! Poor Rhett was having a hard time with his two bottom teeth still growing in and his two top teeth just popping all at the same time. The poor little guy broke out in a heat/stress rash. He was able to fall asleep pretty easily until about midnight when he woke up. I was able to get him back to sleep around 1:00 am and then he slept until 3:00 am. I tried helping him back to sleep for about a half hour in the tent and then decided to take him into the lodge where it would be warmer and he wouldn't disturb everybody while they were trying to sleep. He was so cute and happy that I couldn't even be upset about the sleep I was loosing. Every moment I spend with this boy is such a blessing! So I took these pictures of us to remember our 3:30 am little hangout session in the middle of nowhere while all the world was still sleeping and I had him all to myself.













Hanging out at Pineview on the beach with cousins. Daddy, Mia, and Kayla slipped away to catch Grandma and Grandpa Brower and go boating for a few hours.





 Daddy bought us this swimming pool and we couldn't be more excited!






Chris was playing basketball with the brothers in law while barefoot. Someone landed on his foot and he's been hobbling around ever since. We got it x-rayed and they didn't see a break, so that's good. The doctor said he had some trauma and a really deep bruise to the area and it would probably be at least a month until he felt better. 

Mia and Luke watching fireworks from Grandma and Grandpa Bitter's back deck. Mia loved the fireworks. When we were doing sparklers later she told me "look mommy, I'm magic!"

Month #7

Our little Rhett boy is such a stud! We love him so stinking much! This month he has started eating tons of solids, cereal puffs, and yogurt melt baby treats. He has gotten so good at picking up the food and getting it to his mouth and is so much more coordinated with toys now. He has started trying to ditch his third nap lately, and I'm a complete sucker for him, so it usually works. He popped his bottom two teeth at the same time just a few days ago, and hasn't acted upset by it at all, just chews on things a lot. He has been up on all fours rocking back and forth and scooting backwards all month and a few days ago, on Father's day, he finally started crawling! He completely lights up our lives with his constant, heart breaker smile.










When Mia was a baby, she hated the feeling of grass but Rhett has always loved it


I have an obsession with Rhett sleeping… 






 Rhett and his little mob of baby cousins. 6 Bitter babies in 15 months!

 Lately Rhett makes this face where he sucks in his lips and chews on them all the time! 




 I love the way he chews his thumb in the corner of his 
mouth like that

 Is this kid not just the most major stud?!

Father's Day

Before Chris came into my life, I could probably count on one hand the amount of times in my life I had cried happy tears. After Chris, that number went way up, and now that we have babies it probably happens about once every other week (and that's probably underestimating). Chris has turned me into a happy little wreck, and a HUGE part of that is seeing him as a dad to our babies. Chris as a dad is completely irresistible. 









Mia thinking she is so big



 I made buttermilk pancakes with carmel buttermilk syrup for 
Father's day breakfast. I also made bacon and eggs, but those don't look as good in a picture ;)
