July

Both sitting and both playing with tractors. Peter likes to attack Benjamin while they're in the stroller. It would be nice if there were a divider that he couldn't reach over!

Playing at the park

In Nashville, TN for a conference at the Opryland hotel. This is the first time that Benjamin happily played in the water - he still thought he was dying if water got near his eyes, though.

On our way back home we stopped at church and let the boys play in the nursery a little bit before we drove for 18 hours.

Letting him stretch his legs at a rest stop. 

Eating dinner at our favorite place in Oklahoma - Braum's

Faith had a miscarriage that left her bed-ridden for 4 weeks. For one of the weeks Charity, my mom, and I split up the kids. Lydia stayed the whole week with us but we had the others on and off too. Here we are going to Chick Fil A with Katheryn, Adelina and Lydia.

This is how Peter eats watermelon. He takes it very seriously.

Ryan made a pool for the nieces and nephews to swim in. He is so creative.

Walking on the "bumpies" - Benjamin's favorite.

From Lamoni: Benjamin has been into making faces while taking pictures. He thinks it's due to Uncle Michael's influence of snapchat.

Benjamin has been going to physical therapy every week to help strengthen his feet and ankles because he has flat feet. Lamoni does too and has had a lot of pain in his feet and knees from them. I'm hoping we can avoid that with Benjamin.

The boys play adorably all the time. I couldn't ask for them to get along better. Benjamin is caring and giving and Peter loves to play with Benjamin. They'll wrestle and Peter usually ends up smothering Benjamin or sitting on his head while they both laugh.

This is how Peter eats any fruit with a peel - oranges, apples, peaches, etc.

Walking with Katheryn. Peter likes to attack her too.

At the Natural History museum. It's for older kids but the boys still enjoyed themselves.

Family movie night.

At the splash pad with some friends. Don't you just want to squish Peter?!

It must be a Native thing... they like to lie in the sun.

Independence Day hike at the Sandia mountain

We met up with a co-worker of Lamoni's and his wife afterwards for ice cream. Benjamin fed Peter his.
