Oh what a summer! I mean seriously… what a summer!
Brewer & I soaked every ounce of fun out of summer that was humanly possible!
Brewer is at such a fun age! His personality is really shining, he’s on the move, he’s running, talking, and he’s just so much fun! I knew it would be a special summer to remember this year!
We did all of the simple things and y’all… it was pure joy! Nothing fancy, nothing out of the ordinary, just all of the simple things, making lots of fun filled memories with my baby!

Today I am recapping all of the fun because I truly never ever want to forget these moments…
