Zoo

My mom, the kids, and I went to the zoo.  It was during "Bugzilla" so there were giant bugs statues and robotic bugs around the zoo.  We rode the zoo train once, the carousel twice, and had lunch. Violet was trying to get the wild cat that was pacing behind the glass.  She was very attentive watching the animals and pointing at them. It was a very nice day.  Grandma Karen bought Jace a cool new toy, so he was happy about that.

Boondocks

We went to Boondocks to play mini golf.  Jace and I also did the go carts.

Random

Here are some random pictures of the kids playing on the slide, Mother's Day, a visit to Temple Square, Violet visiting the nursery at church, and a couple of other things.

Tee Ball

Jace was on the Pirates tee ball team.  Lucky for him, Amos was the coach. He was more consistent with hitting, getting balls in the outfield, and running fast between bases. He was the cutest on the team, of course!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Violet is 11 Months

Violet is 11 months old. She loves to play peekaboo.  She puts all sorts of things over her face and head.  She also puts her hands over her face and sometimes peeks out from behind her hands. We have heard her try to say "peekaboo" a few times...so cute. We think she is trying to say a few other things right now but not consistently.  She tries to say "picture" and "uh oh" the most.  She points at things now, especially fans and lights.  She is crawling up on her hands and knees, but if she wants to go somewhere far or fast she army crawls.  She is pulling up to kneeling and plays while kneeling.  She likes to crawl over to sit on Amos and my lap while she is playing.  It is so sweet.  She had a runny nose and was drooling all week (teething again?) so our pictures didn't turn out so well... no smiles and you can see that she drooled on her onesie. She still loves Jace so much.  It is fun to see their relationship.

Old Phone Pictures

Our old phones weren't smart phone so we never got the pictures off of them.  When we switched to smart phones, the pictures came onto our new phones.  These are just various pictures from the last couple of years.
