Zeke is really into climbing lately.

onto the dishwasher
look at that technique!
And the grand finale…
…using a box to climb onto the piano bench. This one really shocked Jimmy and me! We were all downstairs after lunch, and suddenly we saw Zeke on the piano bench! We got him down, then watched him do it again and took pictures with Daddy close by in case he slipped. What a tricky little guy, always full of surprises!
We went to Lava Hot Springs with some family, and had a great time! Shirley and Grant rented a whole house for us all to stay in. They found a winter special for only $125.00/night. The house slept 10 adults. We had 12 people there, but Zeke had his pack-n-play crib, and Evan shared a bed, so it worked out perfectly. The hot springs are so nice in the winter. The town was sure vacant too, we hear it gets more crowded in the summer. Zeke didn’t come into the hot pools, he stayed at the house with Grandma and Grandpa. We did see an eight-month old baby girl in hot pools, and a few toddlers. It just seems so hot, and it kind of hurts right when you get in because your body is cold, and the water so hot. It sure is therapeutic in the wintertime though.

What a fun Christmas! It was so exciting seeing Zeke with his toys, and he how he got excited about them. Below is a picture of some of the things he got.
We had a fun time with lots of sleepovers with some nieces and one with a nephew. Marissa came for 3 days, Kaela and Makayla came one day, then Kendall came for one day. Zeke loved having his cousins at his house, he would smile and laugh like he thought it was funny to see them here.
The night we had the 3 girls here, they wanted to play a few rounds of hide-and-go seek. One of the rounds I was counting with Makayla, and Jimmy decided to hide under our entry rug just to be funny. I immediately saw him when we came downstairs, and I started laughing and went into the kitchen. I thought Makayla would see him for sure when we were going over there to look, but she didn’t. She went right next to him and opened the closet door, then she went to look in the bathroom, she walked right on Jimmy and tripped and fell. Rissy, Kaela, Jimmy and I about died laughing. Makayla said “What, I wasn’t looking at the ground.” We all couldn’t believe she didn’t notice him and that she even walked on him before noticing. Jimmy said she’s a true blonde.

I came downstairs to get something and found Kendall asleep on the hard kitchen floor, he can sleep anywhere!

Kendall beat Jimmy and I twice in Monopoly, and we were really trying to win!
