Sam's

We had a guest pass to try out Sam's Club, so being a diaper buying week, we decided to try it out and see how the prices were. Prices on some things were great, prices on diapers were terrible (almost twice as expensive as at Walmart), however we had to get them since we had 2 or 3 diapers left at home. Overall, sort of impressed, and will consider it more. 

Different park

We went to a different park today, just to check it out. It wasn't our favorite, but, it wasn't bad. They had this cool climbing wall like thing, complete with a rope to help you climb up. They had another actual "rock" wall to climb, with holes in it, so we mostly just used that one to play around and through. And, of course, J just had to wear a cape. It was pretty awesome, and we had a lot of fun. 

Trees!

It still amazes me how many trees we have around our apartment, and I love it! 

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! 

Awesome park!

 

We went to a playgroup that the ward was doing today. I hadn't been to this park yet, and frankly, didn't even realize it existed. This park is HUGE! It has a huge grassy area in the middle, and in each corner, a different layout park! I've never seen anything like it before. We'll definitely need to go back! 

As is parts at IKEA

Yesterday, Drew took our car for a test drive to see what I meant by some problems I was describing having (which, of course, didn't show up for him) and he ended up at IKEA, and discovered this area of parts, which you can fill a bag with for just $3 a bag. We came back tonight to find some screws, and a bunch of allen wrenches, some nails, pull knobs, a bunch of stuff that we felt like grabbing that would be useful. It was an awesome find. We also ended up picking up some candles they had on clearance, and some drapes we've been wanting for our room. Overall, it was a great steal (eve if we probably shouldn't have spent the money) 

DMV decorations

we went to the DMV today to register the car in Utah, and saw this in the entry way. It's pretty cool looking! 

New park

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

Canal tribuatry

evening walk

Mom Baker and Shannon have been in town for the last week or so. When they've been around J has adored having Shannon here. We took a family walk tonight, along the canal by our house. It was nice to get out for a bit

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. :) 

Moving in party

Since we have a lot of family in town today, and are finally in a place we feel okay really inviting people over, we had family here for dinner tonight. We had a blast. Amy Sue happened to bring her computer to get help with it, and so we spent a while after dinner looking at old pictures. Man.... That was a lot of fun. 

Sunrise

of course it doesn't do it justice, but we had a beautiful sunrise this morning. 

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. 

Outside :)

One thing we've been loving about our new house is the playground, right outside. J loves being able to go out frequently. I've also been loving the trees right outside our house. It's been so awesome to actually have a friendly and inviting outside, outside our windows! :D 

Front room

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. 

Enjoying the truck

We took the truck down to our new apartment today to sign some papers and do some other stuff. We happened to be out and about during snack time, and J loved being able to have his snack in the truck. We loved being able to ride in the truck. It's always been a rather secret wish to drive around in a truck, and today that was able to happen. It was awesome!

Checking out our new library

We went to check out the library by where we will probably end up. It's a nice little library, with a pretty good kids area. I like it a lot :)
