June

June ended up being really just crazy (maybe partly because of Will walking). We did a lot of fun things but we were sick a lot. Both of the boys had the flu back to back. Lots of sick babies, we had to clean the carpets because of Will being sick. Poor Brock had a bad fever and threw up, luckily in the sink. When everyone was feeling better, one night, we were watching, TV and we all of a sudden heard water.... We got up to look around and noticed that there was water coming out of the ceiling and then out of the light and across the wall. It was hot water so Michael ran int he attic to find out our hot water heater tank had burst and was over flowing. He started just turning knobs then looked it up to see what to do. He got everything off and called the landlord. This was all after 10 at night. The land lord called us back after 11. It was crazy, we had a bucket of water under the 2 major leaks and everything thrown in the middle of the living room. One of the buckets overflowed!
After a few days without hot water it was all fixed (he fixed our sink and disposal too so I was a happy camper) And everything returned to normal but then me and Brock got sick, both with a bad cold. Even though we were sick a lot on the good days we had a lot of fun! Fathers day, and fun stuff at home! We played with friends and saw a few more things on our list before we move.  Here of course are the pictures:

 A teacher in Nursery sent me this picture.
 Busting a move with Paul at story time
 When the boys had the flu I almost ran out of diapers. My freind Sam ran me over some and when Michael got home he gave me a break and I went and got some at the store. We celbrated having diapers again!

It rained so much it filled up our pool in 12 hours!

We also got to check out the Elm Wood Cemetery. Its the cemetery where all the famous Memphians  are buried as well as old graves from 1819, civil war graves, and many other historical people.



Fathers day 2014



 We never got a mothers day picture so we got one really fast...

 and a family picture
 We checked out this old drug store! It has a soda fountain. It was far too busy and it only took cash so we didn't try it out but it was fun to check out!


We also got to check out a Diner that was established in 1919! It's called The Arcade, later I found out it was one of Elvis favorite places to eat. It had the best french toast ever!

Coming July 7

On June 7th Will took his first step. Which was just cruising along the bed he stretched across the bed to the crib and had to take a step to make it, naturally I thought it was a fluke. But was excited about his cruisen abilities,


On June 12th he took 3 steps. I was so surprised. Seriously not sure what to think about it

So the next day I showed Michael and he took 8 steps. Seriously! It was crazy

Then on the 16 th he took 12 steps. We had the missionaries over for lunch and I started freaking out and being loud and excited. Ha ha they thought it was cool or they where just being nice

The past few weeks he's started to roam go from toy to toy or to the TV tables or coaches. He's everywhere!!





Just this past week he started to be able to keep his balance standing and pick stuff up.

He is getting good at getting him self up standing, using objects it you!

He screams a lot. If hes not standing, if he wants to sleep. if I leave the room. If i am not holding him. AKA he knows what he wants. He isn't crying really just screaming.

He learned how to clap this month its really cute!

Also he learned how to point. When I read him books he always has his little finger out pointing at things. We also get poked in the eye a lot....


He loves to eat, he loves food and will eat more then Brock sometimes. Regular people and Baby food he loves it all. He loves crackers and salty things. And veggie baby food. he doesn't like tart or sour things at all. Really doesn't like most fruit but tolerates them when they are mixed with cereal or he can eat them by himself.  Loves avocado just like his brother!




Lights up when he sees us. He tries to run to Michael when he comes home.

No teeth as of 6-30 but there is some bright purple gums

says Up and Mom

He loves to play in the water and get messy


He loves balls they are by far his most favorite toy


pictures of the month:















A fun little thing happened this month. My aunt went to My grandmas and found lots of old pictures and scanned them into the computer and posted them on Facebook. I was surprised to see this picture and knew it was my dad because I thought Will looked so close to him. I still see Michael but he does look a lot like his grandpa.
