Boston Boy! Talk about a low-maintenance little guy! Boston is the most content baby in the whole world. He really just likes to look at us and smile. He has recently started laughing and it is awesome! His laughs are adorable! And he is definitely a charmer. If you think that babies don't really like you much, come on over and hold Boston. He will smile at anyone! One of the cutest things of all is when I am nursing him. Periodically he will stop nursing, look up at me and smile. Then he will eat for a few more seconds, stop, look at me and smile. It is so sweet and warms my heart! He also just started playing with toys. And I guess by "playing" I mean sucking on toys. He likes to eat any of the little stuffed animals we give him. He is not quite sleeping through the night yet. Unfortunately, his most comfortable "spot" is on his tummy in Mom and Dad's bed. So while he starts out in his crib every night, he will usually end up in our bed somet...

It sure is fun to play at Grandpa and Grandma Crossley's house. What could be more fun than swimming, riding bikes, eating popsicles and playing with aunts, uncles, and cousins? Ashley and Jordan This girl cannot get enough of "big girl bikes." She always wants to "do it by myself." So since she hasn't mastered the art of pedaling . . . she just likes to sit on the bike. This bike is Sienna's bike. We have been holding out on getting her a "big girl's bike" until she is done potty training. We initially thought that would be incentive enough to train quickly because she loves bikes so much. Obviously, it is not happening as quick as we thought it would. Fun with Uncle Austin! The only outfit grandma had on hand was this towel dress to get him warm from the cold sprinklers. Doesn't Gavin look so cute in it? Baby Jordan and Baby Boston Nice shirts, eh? Lily wanted to wear Gavin's shirt and would not give it up. So we let Ga...

Boston was blessed on June 5th. What a very sweet day it was for our family! Garrett gave Boston such a beautiful blessing. Boston was a champ and didn't cry one bit even though he was awake the whole time. We sure appreciate our family and friends that attended this special event and certainly missed those who were not able to attend. What a sweet sweet boy! We sure love you so very much Boston! We are so happy that you are a part of our eternal family! Is it even possible to get a good family picture where everyone cooperates??

We were sure excited to have Great Grandma Lovett and Aunt Margie stay with us for a couple of days. Garrett's cousin, Kendall, was getting married so a lot of Garrett's side of the family came into town. It was so nice to see them! (I wish that I had taken more pictures)! We sure love you all! We had a great time spending an evening with Todd, Pegi, Grandma Lovett, Margie, and Loren. Aunt Pegi, Grandma Lovett, Aunt Margie Boston with Great Grandma Lovett
