Saying good bye to June

This has been a fairly slow week. So lucky for you there isn't a whole lot to share today.

Our little guy turned 4 months old! He also saw the doctor this week and he weighs 15 lbs 1 oz (50%) and is in the 75th percentile for height

 We did a little bit of hiking along the river for family home evening. Lyza loved walking and climbing along the trails and various obstacles

Lyza and Kim picked some strawberries from the backyard

When Kim asked Lyza to show her the strawberries she got this great pose

 Kim found a recipe for home made sand. It was a hit

 Check out Nixon's forehead after he had been sleeping in his jump-a-roo

 Sleeping in his swing. Look at those arms up, so relaxed

 Lyza was playing dolls and decided she would tuck Nixon in for bed

 This boy loves his mamma

He has got a ticklish little face

Last night we went to a ward bbq and had a great time. The church building has a great big field beside it with a picnic area, baseball diamond, and huge grassy area. Lyza and I had fun running around and kicking a ball. She loved when I would kick it, we would run after it together, and then she would tackle it, then we would do it all over again :)

Here is the princess cowgirl all ready for church 

 Nixon and I wore our matching ties to church. He looks so handsome!

Here I am with my little mini-me after church (that statement isn't fair to Nixon, he is much cuter)

That's all for now

Take Care

Newest Happenings

This little boy likes to smile and laugh

All that laughing tires him out

Bath time

Enjoying one of the local parks

What a way to sleep

Another trip to another park, Lyza made quick friends with this dog

There is nothing like an open field to keep her happy

This guy loves having baths. He kicks his feet so much that the whole room is wet by the end

Clean happy boy

We went to McEuan Park in downtown CDA and Lyza had a blast. They have a huge playground with astroturf 

There is also a really fun splash park

Here we are at another park by the river in Post Falls

We got a sprinkler for the back yard. It has a stream that shoots straight up the middle and balls can float on it

Sidewalk chalk is always a hit

The three amigos

Nixon LOVES sucking on his feet

He also likes his tummy time

He is also really eager to crawl

What a hat!

Last weekend the circus was in town so I got to take Lyza on a daddy-daughter date

We had lots of fun

She loved all of the acts with animals

I got pretty spoiled on Father's Day. At church I got to speak (lucky me). I got this as a gift (not for speaking,but for being a father)

At home I really got spoiled. I had an amazing breakfast. Kim and the kids made me the most adorable card

Here are a couple of the photos from the photoshoot for the card

I have a great family!

One of the gifts that I am really excited about is Nixon and I got matching ties

Kim made an amazing Father's Day meal. Fresh baked garlic cheese buns, BBQ ribs, tortelini pasta salad, and corn on the cob

And a homemade ice cream cake!

For family home evening this week Lyza and I planted some tomato plants

We can't get over how much he loves sleeping in this jump-a-roo

Lyza has been really hungry this past week. One day for lunch she ate a whole can of alphagetti

We got Lyza a new big girl bed this week. She was so excited to set it up

We were worried about how she would sleep outside of a crib, but she has done pretty well

Nixon got upgraded from the pack-n-play to the crib. It makes him look so little

We took Lyza to fly a kite earlier this week. Like I said earlier, open fields...

She got some new play dough tools that are really fun

Kim has been taking the kids on some nice long walks. Nixon gets to just sleep in the stroller

We can't get enough of this guy's pretty blue eyes

He is growing up too fast

 Yesterday we went to Riverfront Park in Spokane

Lyza and I got to ride the carrousel

She was really scared before it started but once it got going she had a blast. She was shouting giddie up, whee, and making horsie sounds

 There is also a huge wagon slide

 My two girls

 The park is beside the river and has bridges across to see the falls

 We had a little picnic dinner together

That's all for now. Hope everyone is doing well. Take care
