2016 Year In Review - Denver Zoo

This year has been a whirlwind for us and packed full of changes and new adventures. 

We had a great time at the Denver Zoo with Auntie Kristen over Christmas vacation.

 

2016 Redondo Beach Little League Opening Day

This year we signed Zeke up for TBall for the first time. His team is the Chihuahuas. We had opening day today and team photos and spent some time hanging out with many of the families in the Redondo Beach Little League program.

Zeke loved watching the field lines being drawn

Although number 5 wasn't his first choice, 5 still is a great number

Jonathan getting a picture in. He loves the bases

That smile is the best

Perfect picture of Zeke and his daddy

This is a very proud mamma

Still my baby, he likes the dirt

Team Photo!

Big Bear

This year we had our second annual college friend family vacation up in Big Bear. We stayed in a 5000 sq. foot cabin situated on Lagunita Lane in Big Bear Lake. It had 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. There was a nice view of the lake and plenty of space for 8 adults and 5 kids to run around. We enjoyed the crisp mountain air and just being together relaxing.

Good Friends = Good Times

He likes balls a lot and toy cars just like his brother. 

He loves sweeping the floor and throwing away trash.

He likes to try jumping but he doesn't make it off the ground.

He gets messy during meal times and tends to chuck food and dinnerware across the room.

Happy Harvest

We had some fun dressing up for the Fall Harvest Festival at our church. The kids played fun activities and got to see a production about the Good Shepherd and His sheep. Zeke and Jonathan's Auntie Kristen came out to visit and dressed up with us. Lots of fun to spend time together.

Ice Cream

We have had some pretty warm days in Southern California this year so it's nice to let the kids get as sticky as they want with some refreshing ice cream. I gave the boys ice cream cones. Zeke had mint chip and Jonathan had Pecan Praline. I loved capturing this on camera.
