Park time!

I really am blessed to live in such a beautiful area!

Right in our back yard is this view! There is a little
park/picnic area back behind our house and
it is kept up so well! We visit this place almost
every day. There is a little river running
through the area that we like to get our feet
wet in too! Enjoy some pictures of our typical
day to the park.

This was not actually in the park but when we came home.
It was so hot we had to play in the sprinklers!

Time to take a push in the stroller!

He finally discovered that there was something on his head!

If there is dirt, Jesse will play in it.

Look, a bird! Haha. We are trying to teach Jesse
how to say "cheese" so we at least get normal
looks on his face during pictures. Obviously it didn't
work in this picture

Of course we had to get a pose in the tree!

The lillacs were in bloom and they were beautiful!

Walking up and down the bridge was very facinating for some reason..

Don't take for granted what a beautiful world we live in!
Beauty is always right out the backdoor!

Antelope Island

Lisa and I decided to go to Antelope Island for her
birthday yesterday. She hadn't been since she was
in girl scouts so we headed out planning for a hike

somewhere on the island.

We really didn't make it too far because we
had to carry this 30 lb baby on our backs!! The
trail was not stroller friendly so we didn't have a lot of choices.
The wind was crazy as you can see by my hair, but it
was still fun and the weather was pleasant to hike in.

We took the trail to hike to the highest point on the island
but knew we wouldn't get there because it was over 2 miles.
I don't think we made one mile but it was still fun!

Here is the beautiful view from the parking lot where we
started. Antelope Island is beautiful and I love going there!

Father's Day

Father's day was quite uneventful for us really, but
we had steak dinners (thanks to Christina and Josh), I
got to hold Theron (my new nephew) a lot, and Andy
got some cool pants. The night before I stayed up
making the radical pants for andy. I found this awesome
fabric in his mom's basement and she said she had
made him similar pants when he was younger. So I made
hims some pants to remind him of his childhood....And I also
made him a rice pack for his constantly sore shoulders. I
didn't have to buy anything and I think my hubby was happy.

Here's to him: you're great!

Here are some pictures of the little tyke. He is
so absorbed in any peices that go together or

or on things- he is becoming quite the genius! :)

And I bought him a lobster towel- it is pretty darn cute!

The only vacumm he will touch- he hates the big one

And here is to my little scholar (but really he was
only reading for like 2 seconds). He is getting so cute
and I love each stage that he goes through! Love you
little man!

Mahna Mahna!

I just thought I would put Jesse's favorite song for everyone to see. Follow the link for a fun happy little song called mahna mahna! He will come up to me and say : mana mana and point at the computer. :)

Dancing

I absolutely adore it when Jesse dances! Some of his favorite sites are the music that comes on on Homestarrunner.com (a favorite site around here) and a video of muppets on youtube titled mana mana. Anyway, here is my cute little man getting his wiggles out. Enjoy!

The Start of Summer!!

Ok so our summer is starting a little late because I have been in
school. The sememster started with a very busy class that was
only three weeks long. So now we are getting around to
planning some fun activities. So far we have just been on
many walks to a nearby park, laid out in the hammock,

and played with water outside (as you will see in the next pictures).
We are all looking foward to the summer and all that we can do outside!

Here is a picture of Jesse experimenting with a water bottle.
He loves the water- we are going to have to get him a kiddie pool!

His first hammock ride...he doesn't know what to think...

And he cuddles with his daddy any chance he gets. (Not with mommy though..)

And here is a video of him wrecking havoc in the kitchen with the tupperware.

An Auntie yet again!

My sister in law Christina delivered her first child this evening around five pm. Theron Cyril Levi. He was 6 lbs, and was 18 1/2 inches long. His delivery went pretty well which is not what we were expecting. His due date was June 25th, but we were happy to hear his first little cries and to know that his lungs had fully developed. She was in labor from about 6pm-5pm, almost 24 hours! I was blessed to be able to spend a lot of time with her so her husband could get some sleep during the middle of the night, but needless to say, I am going to bed at 8 pm tonight!!! It was not the best place for me to be because, as mentioned before, I am baby hungry! I think i asked the nurses to look in the nursery about three or four times during the night. All those cute, quiet, angellic little darlings were just too much for me to resist! So here is to babies and the blessing of being a mother.
