Random in June

Jaxson LOVES playing in the rain

He was walking around like this for a good part of the morning talking gibberish.  I found out later he was "talking on the phone" to Grandma Bliss :).

Playing puppets with dad at the library

Trying on dad's hat

Playing at the park for Emma's birthday

Cleaning up the park with Emma and Dixie after it rained

Jaxson enjoyed this ice  cream cone very much :)

He looks so grown up!

Grandma Zee made these fun Mickey Mouse pillows for the kids

Grandma Zee gave Kiah this cute rocking chair for her birthday.  The kids love reading books in it.

We found a rolly polly bug on the porch

Playing at the park with Jackson Flowers

 

We went to the zoo with our friends Amanda and Sophia.  Jaxson is being silly with the Grizzly Bear.

Watching the gorillas eat their broccoli and lettuce

We rode the carousel for the first time, and the kids loved it!

Kiah-11 Months

Our baby girl is 11 months old!  Here are some of the reasons we love our Kiah girl this month...

• She tries to climb onto everything
• She is slowly taking side steps while holding onto the couch
• She is super sassy, but we can't help but laugh when she throws herself onto the floor as if her world is ending
• She gives sweet (and short) snuggles and every once and awhile she'll give a kiss too

Grandma and Grandpa Cook Visit

Tyson's parents came for a weekend visit.  We had so much fun!  Jaxson had a smile on his face from the moment they got here :).

 

Hanging out in Jaxson and Kiah's room

Grandma brought some magic bubbles you can catch if you are wearing gloves

We went to the Denver Zoo and had a blast! 

 

The tiger was so close and so big!

Polar Bear

Kiah was so excited to go on the carousel, she started bouncing on Tyson's shoulders while we were waiting in line

We always ask Jaxson what his favorite animal was as we are leaving the zoo, this time he said the carousel :)

We had some quarters and a penny, so we let Jaxson smash a penny into a froggy face :)

We ate at Cheddar's after a great day at the zoo.  We loved having Grandpa and Grandma here to visit!
