Riding Gator

I'm not sure we how we lucked out and got the most patient dog there ever was, but we totally did. Gator is SO good with Hayes, even when he is so rough and tries to "ride" him. Hayes doesn't understand that he's getting bigger and when he jumps on people and dogs it really hurts! (I know, because he does it to me too). Good old Gator lets him do whatever he wants, until Gator's had enough, then he just gets up and walks in the other room. 

These two are becoming better friends though. They have both figured out that they both love to dig in the backyard and have really bonded over it, unfortunately, there are holes all over my back yard and I constantly have dirt and mud tracked through my house, but Gator LOVES when Hayes digs with him! haha 

The Children's Museum

We hadn't been to the Children's Museum in a while and decided it was time to go back. Hayes was so funny and just kept running from room to room. After he had explored every room really quickly. he went back to what I'm assuming interested him the most. He loved the basketball room, the room with stairs, and the airplane room. I forget how much fun that place is, I need to take him there more often. He absolutely loves it! 

On my mind

Sometimes I feel like I have so much on my mind that it doesn't seem like my head can hold one more tiny piece of thought, and then often times the opposite is true, where I literally can't put two thoughts together and my mind feels mostly blank. It's weird how one person can go from feeling so overwhelmed by thought, to feeling so dull and thought less that it's scary. Most times in my life my brain is working on over driver, it quite literally never stops. I can remember being younger and wondering if people around me thought about everything as much as I did. Now as I am getting older and I have these moments where my mind can't seem to put thoughts together, part of me wishes I enjoyed the break much more than I do. Most of the time I just feel frustrated, unproductive, and a little stupid. I heard once that people that think a lot often mix up their words. It's like their brain fires so much faster than their mouth and their mouth can't keep up. I've always related to that so much. I have a pretty big fast mouth, but it's nothing in comparison to what's happening in my head. Although I don't know what it's like to be any different, I'm grateful for all of my thoughts. Sometimes they cause me stress and frustration, but nonetheless, they are mine and where on earth would I be without them?

Just random thoughts that flow through my head on the daily. :)

Grandpa- Pot

These two entertaining each other and holding hands is just the sweetest thing ever! Hayes loves to go with Grandpa or "Pot" as he calls him. My dad lets Hayes climb and crawl all over his truck. He lets him push every button and twist every dial, Hayes LOVES it and will go with my dad at the mention of the truck over anything else. My mother in law thinks Hayes looks just like my dad, I'm not sure I see it but one thing is for sure, Hayes sure loves his Grand Pot! 

Lounging like a boss

Hayes is a go-er. He can go and go until he literally falls over. So, its hilarious to me when he actually sits down or in this case, lays down on his own free will. We got home from playing and he wanted to watch a movie, so he climbed in my bed and snuggled under the covers. It's just funny to see him really sit still. hahaha I was worried for a minute that he was sick, but about five minutes after I took these, he was over the movie and up running around again. I'd kill for energy like his! 

The cabin in the fall

The mountain and the cabin look and feel so beautiful right now. I LOVE all of the colors and crisp air. That window at the cabin is one of my favorites, I love that it looks out to green and flowers and the structure of it is so adorable. :)
