Jimmy * Esther * Zeke * Lilly

We went to the Kangaroo Zoo earlier this month, (it’s a bouncy house like Jumpin’ Jack’s). This was the first time Zeke dared to go down the big slide, and I think it’s because his friends Ethan, and Jace were going down it too.

Zeke even went down on his tummy a lot of times, and on his back upside down :)

Lilly thought it was a neat place too, and I think she’ll love it next year!

Resting on Daddy’s knee, so cute!

We went to a fun carnival at the park, this was my favorite picture of Zeke- peeking while fishing for a prize

Zeke has so much fun with Grandma’s toys!

I loved the castle when I was little too

Lilly letting us know she’s awake and ready to get out :)

We moved from my parents’ to our new home a week ago, and are settling in quickly. We are about all unpacked, and are making lots of new friends! We went to a neighborhood BBQ Friday night, and love how friendly, and social the neighborhood is. We are really happy to be here! Our kids have done well with the move- Lilly loves crawling all around, and learned how to go up the stairs.  Zeke also enjoys it here, and especially his new room. He chose the bonus room for his room, and it has tons of space for all his toys. He misses Grandma a lot, and keeps asking if she’s going to move down here. Overall, it has been a nice transition, and a lot easier than I was expecting.

Lilly crawls up the stairs all day, and heads for any bathroom that’s open to try to splash in the toilet. Luckily, we’ve been able to catch her all but once :P

Last Sunday Zeke said he wasn’t tired enough to take a nap, and the next thing I knew, he was out :)

Lilly loves to sit on Zeke’s 4-wheeler. It’s her favorite thing in the toy room!

We are all so thankful, and happy to be here! It has been awesome!

Last Saturday morning we drove down to our family reunion. Zeke thought the playground was the coolest, and Lilly did too, she crawled all around on it, and had a lot of fun.

They did “Minute to Win It” games at the reunion, my sister Adela, (in the pink), did the tissue pull contest :)

Me and my beautiful niece, (who is more like my little sister :)

We drove back to Salt Lake in time to have a picnic at Sugar House Park, and watch the big firework show. Zeke got his own Subway sandwich, and I couldn’t get enough of watching him eat it!

My mom and I love to wear matching shirts :)

Lilly didn’t like the fireworks at first, she had a sad frown for about 5 minutes. She liked them after that, and she would point up at them. I liked watching her face, and Zeke’s face more than the fireworks.

Our last celebration was at Jimmy’s parents’ on Monday. We had a fun BBQ dinner, and sat on blankets to watch the fireworks Grandma and Grandpa bought.

Grandma gave the kids glow sticks, Lilly held one in each hand the whole time. I thought it was so fun sitting out on the blankets on the grass together :)
