July Stuff. . .

July was our annual Tahoe trip. Sam's parents have a cabin in Lake Tahoe and they go up every year for a week or two and hang out up there. We always have a really fun time! But, since I switched schools and they started earlier, we haven't been able to go up to Tahoe for a few years. Now that I'm no longer teaching (woohoo!), we had the opportunity to head up there for a week.
This was obviously Patton's first trip up there, and here are some of the things he enjoyed:
Spending time with Grandma and his cousins Liam & Layla. They were obsessed with him, and they see him every week at church. They kept pointing at him and saying, "Baby Patton. Look at Baby Patton!" Kids are too funny!
Wiggling and eating the dirt on the beach. That made for some interesting diapers!

Splashing in the 50 degree water (the water was SOOOO cold this year!).
Stealing our Wheat Thins. A kid after my own heart!
Watching Liam & Layla play in the shallow pools, knowing that he'll be playing in them next year!
Watching Daddy act like a cowboy with a straw hat (?!) while we were in Virginia City, NV. I love that Sam has his knee sticking out in the right side of the picture. It really captures the moment, don't you think?!
Smiling and giggling lots (like always. . . he's a happy boy!)
Snugging with Momma on the beach. Perhaps this was my favorite thing too! :)
Coming home and experiencing his first taste of rice cereal. Yum yum! Well, it lasted a week. Once I introduced carrots, sweet potatoes & bananas to him, he no longer had any interest in rice cereal. And honestly, I can't say I blame him! Currently, his favorite food is carrots. I'd prefer the sweet potatoes, but that means I can steal a bite of his sweet potatoes every now and then!
We have some VERY big things happening this month (Patton's finalization, sealing, blessing, family vacations), so I probably won't be posting until September. But expect photo overload then!
