Selfies

Sandy spot

We have a sandy spot in an empty lot (and spilling onto the sidewalk) near our house. J has been asking to go to the beach, so we made a compromise and went to this sandy spot to dig and play for a while this morning instead. 

Trains!

J LOVED pulling out and playing with the trains this afternoon. He does frequently enjoy it, but not like today. 

Merry go round

At our new favorite park next door to the library is a merry go round. While I was a bit surprised to see one (didn't they get banned or something  a while ago because of too many injuries?) I was happy to have the chance to share it with J. It's become one of his favorite parts of the park. 

Super J

J found a dish towel, and begged me to put it on him like a cape. He didn't want to take it off all day, not even for bed. He loved running around the park with it, and pretending to be Super J! 

Lego guy party

J wanted me to build a house for him, then the Lego guys had a party in there, complete with hats and cake. It was very cute :) 

After dinner entertainment

Nothing quite like a light saber battle on your table after dinner.

Hot dog eating

if you can see it, yes, he is using two forks, one in front of the other, to eat his hot dog. 

New park

We tried out a new park today, it's right next door to the library. It was pretty awesome. 

Blaket cuddles

after quiet time J insisted on bringing out all the blankets (and pillows) to spread out all over the living room floor. And he proceeded to cuddle and roll all over them. It was pretty cute!

Looking at plants

Llama Llama

But not in red Pajama's! We took a different route home from the library today, since we were on bike, and I didn't feel like biking along the super noisy and busy main street. We discovered a llama by the elementary school. I was really amused, and J was super excited to see a real llama like in the awesome llama llama books. :)

Freedom in Winco

J LOVED having a little basket he could pull through the grocery store for us. And, it actually helped him to stay within site of me, which is a huge problem we've been having if he's out of the cart. 

Dinnertime BB-8

J discovered that if you eat part of one round cracker and put it over another, it makes a BB-8. He was so excited and begged me to take a picture.

life size M&M

We had to run to a new store for some forgotten groceries (on bike!) and walked by these M&M's that were as big as J. He thought they were pretty amazing, and stopped to look at them for quite a while.

family walk

We found a cool trail by our house, and decided to go exploring as a family tonight. It was nice to get out and walk as a family for a while :) We discovered it goes almost all the way to our church. 

J's room.

Jacob's room is probably the first to really be set up. We wanted to make sure he was able to feel comfortable in his room as soon as possible, so we made sure it was done quickly. He's been loving having his own space to play, and transitioned to sleeping by himself with no problems. I was expecting at least a couple days of complaints, and probably sleeping in our room, but it hasn't happened. So yay for that!

New house!!

We offically got the keys and were able to move some stuff into our new house tonight! It's been super exciting! J loved all the room, and loved being able to run around and see his "new house" We're excited to be able to move tomorrow and finally have our own place. 

Picture of Grandma!

J found the camera, and enjoyed taking pictures of Mom while waiting for Lunch to be ready.
