the haps

so it has been a crazy long time since i have taken the time to post anything on here but as you all know, life happens. we have been so busy, it's hard to believe it's been 2 months. sadly as i sit here thinking of what great things i could post, i can't come up with many. this should be a post filled with lots of fun & exciting things but it'll mostly be a picture overload. let's see, since my last post, brog is now 8 months! he is crawling, quite speedily i might add, and is pulling himself up to everything. namely, me & holds on as tight as he can by pinching the skin above my knees. he has 3, going on 4 teeth and is an absolute riot. he loves any food you are eating & expects a to have a bite after each of my bites. he loves chocolate milk & banana bread. he has always loved bath time but it's even more funny now that he smiles & giggles as he tries to climb up the side of the tub to get in. he adores kids. he understands his name & the word kiss. if you ask him, he will plant a big, wet kiss right on your lips. he also enjoys kissing his reflection anytime he sees it. he loves  his puppy & being outside. i could go on & on about him forever but i will stop here for now. since my last post, harvest is in full swing. boy oh boy. could it be november yet? i say this because yes, i have received word that we will be in harvest until the middle of november...jealous? i'm just glad i have my little buddy here to keep my company! i have also changed jobs...again. i went back to my old job i left last summer. it allows me more time with brogyn so i couldn't pass that up! i am working a lot now but it will slow down soon since we are in a transition of owners. wow. can you believe it? i am sitting here trying to think of little events to fill my post with & i leave out the most important one of all. brogyn's blessing. what a truly amazing day. he was blessed by his daddy on august 5th. i was filled with so much happiness and emotion all week in anticipation of the big day. jake gave a wonderful blessing and we had so much support from family & friends. i was even lucky enough to snag a 5 generation picture with my great grandpa, grandpa, dad, myself and brogie. but i am an airhead and spaced getting a picture of brogie and everybody who stood in the circle: jake, my dad, todd, grandpa larry, grandpa bowlin, grandpa heward, great grandpa heward and rex gerratt. sigh...oh well. staying on the church topic, my great husband was called to teach the CTR 5 Primary class! his response to me directly after he told me was "everybody is going to want to be in my class" "well since the kiddos get to choose which class they want to go to"...was my response back. he didn't think i was funny. but i am excited for him to be in primary with me. although we won't be in the same class (i teach sunbeams) it will be fun to have him & brog with me. PS, brog LOVES Primary! he is a very busy and rambunctious and curious boy who never sits still but in Primary, he sits right on my lap and just listens and sings along. it's adorable. we also were able to do some fun family pics and some individual pics of brogie (i'll post later). i hope to get the ones off my phone posted soon of the 5 generation pic and a few others of my baby boy. that's all i can think of for now...enjoy!
