June continued...

The rest of this month has been pretty low key...nothing too interesting going on. Ryan's mum came and spent every weekend with us until she left for Florida yesterday morning. It was nice having some extra help with the wee ones. I think she was really ready to get going though, she and Chris have been apart for 2 months now. Jack misses her already and frequently asks where she is, but she'll be back in about 3 weeks. Ryan's sister, Rachel, is graduating from BYU-I at the end of July and Liz is coming back through here after the graduation to pick up her truck and drive it back out to Florida.

So, here's a few wee pictures of stuff we've been doing these last few weeks:

Peter and Jack loved all the extra attention they got when Liz was here...

We took them to a place called 'Safari Sams'; it has the biggest jungle gym in Oregon, a mini-golf course and arcade games/air hockey.

Jack got in a quick game of air hockey right before we left...we'd been there for 3 hours...he was pretty good at it actually.

Peter has spent quite a bit to time wrestling and sitting on top of this soft toy Jack got from one of his wee friends at his birthday party. I think he likes that it doesn't wrestle back...unlike his big brother.

Ryan and I left Peter at home with Liz last Saturday and took Jack to his first film in the cinema, 'Toy Story 3'. He was so excited. He is currently obsessed with Buzz Lightyear. He thought he was pretty cool getting to go out with us by himself and he sat great through the entire film. At the very end he told me he was ready to go home and see Pete...cute.

We watched Avatar later that night (I still hadn't see it) and looked after my friend's wee boy, Lincoln, for a couple of hours. He's just a few weeks older than Peter and they were having a brilliant time going in and out of the little coupe car the entire time. Peter is very possessive of me and got extremely jealous every time I held Lincoln..ha.

On Monday Liz and I took the wee ones to a park up in Wilsonville, where we used to live before we moved into our house. They have some water features that the kids can play in. The last time we came Peter was only a newborn, so it was fun watching both of them run around.

Peter was terrified at the beginning when the water got high and would run away as fast as his wee legs would carry him, but later he got very confident and walked right through all the sprinklers.

The weather has finally turned to summer here and we're loving getting to go outside more frequently. We also went with some friends to pick strawberries last week at a local farm....I loved it...and the strawberries were the best I have ever tasted. We're going again this coming Friday...this time I'll take my camera.
