Banks made friends with this cute little girl in the park.  He loved pushing her around on her little car.  It was sooo cute!

We decided to go camping last weekend.  We went to the same spot where (a little over 1 year ago) we went camping just 48 hours  before I went into labor.  It was fun being back in this same spot with Banks.  He slept good in the pack in play until about 4 AM.  Then he cried... and cried...and cried.  I told Jeff that we were going to have to pack it up.  I was convinced Banks wouldnt go back to sleep...but luckily daddy proved me wrong and got him to go back to sleep!

 Banks had these adorable camo boots that I was so excited about... Banks was not so happy.  He kept taking them off.  :(

 

Just playin on my new grass!!  Mommy has been making me wear a bib because I'm drooling non-stop!  (teething).  

"I love camping!" --Banks

 

So what else is new with us?  We got a calling.  Jeff and I got called to be ward missionaries and teaching gospel principles.  We're super excited about it!  Also, my garden is doing pretty well.  I'm super excited to have some tomatos and zucchinis to harvest.  I have these delicious cherry tomatos coming on that Banks, Daddy, and I LOVE to snack on. 

Banks is working on spoon feeding himself.  Its a very messy adventure.

 So Jeff has been very busy the last couple...well, ever since we moved in.  So couple months?  He (with the help of a friend) installed underground sprinklers.  Quite the project.  I'm so proud of him.  Lots and lots of hardwork.

Thank Heavens to our sweet Danny boy for helping us do the final grade.  Jeff and Danny worked a day and a half in the 100 degree weather burrying the underground sprinklers and spreading the top soil getting everything ready for sod.  THANK YOU DANNY !  What a hardworker.  We could have never done it without you!

Amist all of Jeff's busy projects he still finds time to be an awesome daddy.  Here he is reading to our sweet Banks.

We like to take some time out to play.  This is at the Highland Splash Pad.  Banks loves the water!

Grandma and Grandpa Hamilton got to come visit!!  Yay so fun!  Banks even got to go to church just with Grandma and Grandpa.   (no mom and dad..we had a baby blessing in bountiful)

"Come visit again Grandma and Grandpa!"-Banks

Bank's first time tubing.  We of course only went like 5 mph.

So the cutest new thing that Banks does is crawls over to the shoe rack and tries to but on his daddy's shoes.  I can't even describe it...it is soooo precious!!

 Our finished product!  We had a huge turn out from our ward show up to help us lay sod.  So nice considering we dont really know anyone.  We felt very blessed and grateful.

 

Danny and Jeff after a very long day and a half (in 100 degree weather)...this is their VICTORY picture.  Finished burrying the trenches and spreading the top soil.

 Banks's latest trick:  We say 'summersault' and he does this!  Then we flip him over.  So cute!

The following pictures were taken by our talented Dad- Richard Hamilton.  Thanks so much for the awesome pictures Richard!! 

 "Peek a Boo!"

Some other fun pictures.. Banks scammed these sweet shades from his girlfriend Rowen.
