Wow, the month of August flew by. I started back to work at the beginning of August and it has been a whirlwind since then. This is the first time I have had a few free minutes to post some pictures. Too much going on but overview is everyone is doing great! Baby Tyson is two months as of yesterday and growing so quickly. This month is dedicated to getting him to sleep through the night. We will be celebrating Payton's 2nd birthday in a few weeks, October 2nd, which is crazy to think about. Our goal for Payton is to sleep through the entire night in his big boy bed. He makes it until about 3 or 4 AM then he is up likes its 8 AM, not excited about that.
I will try to be better with blogging this month, or at least posting pictures. Hope this finds you doing well and happy. Enjoy the pictures from the last few weeks.
Payton & Bodi
Payton LOVES cooking with his grandma. They spent a few weekends together and each time made lots of cookies!
Tyson just relaxing.
During the warm days in July the boys were mostly in their diapers to stay cool. I hardly got to use any of Tyson's newborn outfits b/c he hates being hot, so we wouldn't dress him some days.
Payton got "big-boy underpants" that have cars on them and he has been wanting to wear them over his diaper or over his pajamas.

Brotherly love. Payton just loves to lay next to Tyson and just watch him move around. Pretty sweet.
Trav taking a breather and soaking it all in.

Trav's grandma (Great-Grandma Flo-Flo as Payton calls her) and Aunt Kathy came to visit us from Moses Lake one weekend. His cousin Rachel was in town from the East Coast and his cousin Hailey who moved to Seattle from Moses this year, both came to visit us as well. Payton had lots of fun soaking up all the attention from them.
Father-Son time.
Strong boy.
Trav bought Payton a plastic orgainzer from Storables, which he uses as his toy car garage. He puts the cars in and takes them out, over and over again. He thinks its the coolest thing ever.
Tyson has been smiling and coo-ing for the past couple of weeks. Love it.

Labor Day weekend we headed up to Whidbey for our 8th (maybe 9th) annual weekend at Lynne & Joe's family cabin, only this time with the kids. Not quite the Whidbey trip it has been in the past, but so fun to get up there. Unfortunately, the Kalamakis' had to call the trip short after Payton's SECOND fall. The first fall happened within the first 20 minutes after we arrived. He tripped over his own two feet in the grass and smashed his head into a concrete slab. The second fall involved him falling down the back steps onto a concrete slab. After the second fall, we thought it best to head home just to be safe. I will be bringing his helmet next year for sure!
Payton's first goose egg.
Payton & Isabel played for hours in the two Barbie cars that belong to the Barlow Girls. They played so well together and had so much fun.
Whidbey and a frontpack.

Mom's shoes.
Stass was in town for Rauh's 30th B-day. The week the Mullins were in town we all attended a wedding, BBQ, party for Rauh, and Shower for Lo. Lots of friends time. Miss you Stass. :)
Payton loves his baby Ty-Ty.
Kel and I took Isabel and Payton to a water park up North. They had so much fun running around on the 90 degree day!
Payton likes trying on everyone's shoes and likes to put his own on all by himself. 
Baking with Grandma!!! 
Relaxing in Gig Harbor. 
The boat always seems to put him to sleep.
