4 Months

Four months has flown right by! Keaton has mastered rolling over and is still our smiliest boy to date. It’s amazing to me that no matter how many times you’ve done it, every little milestone is still just as exciting with the next kid. He’s got us all wrapped around his little finger. #keatonmaxnelson

 

Band Car Wash

Tanner and Dean signed up to help with the Marching Band Car Wash.  Unfortunately it rained all morning so car washing was few and far between, but at least they came home with a nice and shiny car.  Haha!  There's always next time.

 

Pie and Beer Day

To celebrate Pioneer Day our friends the Madsens put together a fun "Pie and Beer" night at the park by their house.  We all brought pies and root beer to share.  Landon was the bomb and whipped up a cherry pie for us to take.  He even got fancy and covered the top in stars.  It tasted great too!  And Keaton was a hit with everyone and got passed around all night.  Good thing he likes people.

 

 He looked so dapper for Church today.

My Monkeys

Bath Boy

Someone’s digging the bath tub lately and I’m digging those splashy, gummy, grins! 🥰

So Long to our Deck

Peace out ✌️ to our old, rotted, deck. Proud of these boys and their hard work the past two days to help Dean tear it all down and clean it all up. #raisingboys #hardwork

Pool Time

We finally got EVERYONE in the pool together over the weekend. It was Keaton’s first time, and after taking a little time to warm up, he loved it! Tanner’s usually too busy or too cool to join us these days, but he finally obliged as well. I love spending time with this crazy crew. #forcedfamilyfun ☀️🕶️💦

 

Keaton 3 Months

Keaton turned 3 months the end of June, but being #5 means your mom posts two weeks late! 🤣 He’s full of smiles, just learned to roll over, and still has us all wrapped around his little finger. He’s also very chatty, and we may just have another little Bridger on our hands. 😉

Heading Home

Traveling with a baby is always an adventure.  Keaton did pretty well all things considered, but it meant lots of pumping and bottles and stops along the way.  The other boys vegged out watching shows and playing video games.....rough life! ;). But the drive home was uneventful and it's always nice to sleep in our own beds again.  And we got back just in time to pack Tanner up and drive him five hours to drum major camp the following day.

His brothers hooked him up with a little music.  Hahaha!

4th of July

We wrapped up our time in Utah with a big 4th of July celebration with the fam.  After Emma's baby shower in the morning we went over to Scott and Laura's that evening for dinner and fireworks.  We loved having Grandma Leavitt there too and we made sure to get pictures with her as well.  The boys had way too much fun making fireworks with their cousins and luckily managed to have a good time without blowing anyone up.  We sure love this family of ours and the land we live in.  We can't celebrate the 4th without acknowledging how blessed we are to have the freedoms and liberties we do.  God Bless America! 

If you ever wonder where Keaton is, there's a good chance he's with Grandpa Hilton.

Red, White, and Blue

We LOVE Grandma Leavitt!

 Grandma Hilton's festive cake.  And it didn't just look great it tasted great too!

These crazies sure love fire!  They were in good company at Scott's house. ;)

Jules and Laura loving on Keaton.

Cousins for days.  Missing Kev and Helen's kiddos though!

And surprise, Grandpa volunteered to stay inside with the sleeping baby instead of watching fireworks with the crazy mosquitos everywhere.
