Park Fun

My parents, aunt and uncle rented cabins at Platte River State Park for a few nights. We joined them for an evening to celebrate my aunt’s birthday. 




















It was lots of fun!

What Augustine Has Been Up To

Enjoying his new art! He chose a quote from St. Augustine for his wall. 

Spending a few days at a national park with G&G. 

He had fun with my aunt, uncle, and cousin’s kids. 

Augustine sewed Levi a pillow for when he is older. 

What Lewis Has Been Up To

Helping me give Levi a bath. 

Loving his little brother, even if his little brother isn’t loving all the love. 

Catching fireflies! He named them Mary, Bella, and Batman. (Best friend, best friend’s dog, favorite superhero.)

Loosing his first tooth!

Taking his Godsister on a drive. 

Rocking the marble run building!

What Elias Has Been Up To

Finding his first worm all by himself!

Enjoying homemade jelly from Mrs. Rutledge. 

Fixing his car. 



Making me keep track of this dang “weed wacker” in the yard. I finally labeled it with something bright so it’s faster to find. Not just any stick will do you know. This one has a blade on it. Makes all the difference. 

Using his backpack because why wait for school to start?

Building with our new marble run!

“Grandpa has to dry his ears out. He twist it up so it fits in his ears. It’s kinda weird. I need to do that.”

Playing with the firehouse Augustine bought him, which was very kind!

What Levi Has Been Up To

Meeting Lewis’ bestie. 

Napping while I shower 

Fitting into Elias’ newborn photo shoot shirt at 6 weeks old. (Elias was BIG.)

Napping on his soft giraffe

Trying out the baby wrap. 

Cuddling his fox when he naps. 

Tummy time! Our first baby who doesn’t hate it, in fact he starts to coo when I put him on his tummy. 

Sporting freshly bathed hair that is so fluffy and soft. 

Smiling!!! This is the best I’ve captured so far. 

Playing with hanging toys. He can grab them if he’s under them in a bouncy seat. 

Sleeping swaddled and flat in his cosleeper. First Burda baby EVER to sleep like a baby is supposed to sleep!!!

More hanging toy fun 

Snoozing in Aunt Beth’s old seat at grandma and grandpa’s house. 

Brotherly Love

 

Luxury

We celebrated our ten year anniversary last month! We had dinner at a nice restaurant and snuggled our new baby. Grandma graciously babysat, even though she had just kept the big boys for four days because Levi was born. It was such a luxury!

My parents bought a new car, and offered us the one they were replacing. Logan couldn’t believe it because he had been praying that someone would give us a car for about a month before my parents generous offer came through. After ten years of being a one-car family I no longer have to pack up everyone to drop off and pick up Logan from work every day. What a luxury!

I’m able to eat a few more carbs at each meal now that Levi is born. Major cheating has gone from two jelly beans or one small sprinkle of blueberries on my salad to a bun, ketchup, dressing, and two fruits all in one meal! What a luxury!
