Boston's FOURTH birthday.

At the end of July, my little Boston cake turned four years old. Which, in my opinion, is way too old!! I mean, we all know it's only a matter of time before he stops me from calling him Boston cake...so I'd better soak it up now. Because used to be so tiny and chubby and squishable, and now he is just getting so huge. It's kind of killing me. But I also kind of love it? I don't even know. Motherhood has me all over the place these days!!

But anyways. Since we were in Utah this summer, we threw a little family party for him in my parent's backyard, and we had a lot of fun. It was so fun to celebrate our Boston man. The highlight of the night was a superhero parade, a vision that came to life by my sister Whitney. She knew how obsessed Boston was with superheroes, so she enlisted her friends + my brother Tanner to burst into Boston's party in costume, and give him rolls of nickels (he is also obsessed with nickels, aka money). HE WAS IN HEAVEN. Seriously, best present of the night, Whit!!

^^THE BEST.^^

JUNE! (A few Utah photos!)

So, even though it's Fall now (YAY FALL!), and now we are in Kentucky (YAY KENTUCKY!), I realized I never really posted any photos from our Summer in Utah! So I tried to narrow it down to just a few... and that wasn't happening. I TAKE A LOT OF PHOTOS OKAY. I know. I have a problem.

But it's so fun to have these memories captured... so I'm going to share some of my faves.
Here is the month of June!
