July

Here it is the middle of September and I'm just getting July done!! I'll be brief....

We were cleaning the house and made a pile of recycle out the back door (we don't have a ton of shopping options out here so we buy almost everything online). Looked out the back door and Hendrix was just chilling in a box.

Our door knob broke and Papa took care of it while Dylan and I were at work. At first Hendrix was a little nervous that Papa was breaking the house, but it wasn't long before he was telling Papa what to do.

Everyone (but me) in this family is super musical!

Hendrix wanted to play in the pool but it was kind of cold. Dylan popped out the kitchen screen and filled the pool with hot water from the kitchen :)

I was folding laundry and heard Hendrix breathing kind of weird. I looked over to see him on the work out bench pretending to bench press and breathing like Dylan does when he is lifting weights (very controlled but kind of explosive exhale). He wanted weights but everything was too heavy, so I got him some cans of tuna and he went to work ;)

So happy to have a chilly day that required a jacket in the morning!

Cousins!

Dylan hurt his knee and was icing it. Hendrix loves Dyl so much and wants to be just like him.

Watching the neighbors use a big tractor to unload huge bales of hay!

Stella really wanted to swim with Hendo

Hendrix peeked in to see if Dad was awake and when he saw that he was still sleeping, went to his room, and grabbed one of his favorite toys to tuck in with Dylan.

Falls asleep with a book almost every night

We went berry picking at Grandma and Grandpa Aldrich's home. Hendrix ate every single berry he could find. Then helped himself to my bucket. Dumping them in his mouth was much faster.

Grandpa Aldrich is a master gardener

Hendrix makes Eloise laugh so hard. They sure love each other!

We could not get Hendrix to put closes on. We just let him run around nudie for a while.

I spilled baby food all over myself so got up to clean up really quick. Hendrix stepped right in and helped feel Lou!

Moved our shop (Elkhorn Embroidery) to a new location!

Having dinner at our friend's house. They have a daughter, Hemi, that is 6 months older than Hendrix and he thinks she is the greatest. The recently moved away and we miss them terribly!!
