Projects and other fun January activities

We wanted to do at least something kind of fun when Andrew was here so we decided to take him to Oregon stop pizza! It was fun to have some pizza, hear the beautiful music, and see all of the instruments playing!

For Christmas we got this game of bocci ball. The boys enjoy going out and playing it all together.

This is a park not far from our new home that we road our bikes/ walked to. It's been nice to explore and get to know the area a little better.

The boys got the net for our basket ball hoop from Grandma and Grandpa, so they now enjoy going out and playing ball!

Planting our first tree in our yard!! A friend gave us this orange tree so we stuck it in the ground and now it is full of blossoms.  It is one of many we plan to plant!!

Above is the boys seeing the horses at the library.

Evan is really getting around now. He can climb up the steps, pull up on things, and is a speedy little crawler.  We sure love this sweet little guy!

Enjoying the nice cool January weather at the park.  Evan loves the swings and so does Benson once you convince him to try them out. I love swinging Benson because he always screams half in fear, half in pure joy and excitement!

During the month of January we had a couple of these trips to Lowes. The boys got used to riding these cars in the shopping carts. 

I love Evan's expressions always, but they are usually hard to catch, hear we were able to catch a couple of his great expressions!

Can you see those cut little teeth in there?

Outside in the shed with Dad working on our T.V. stand. This was quite the project and took many a nights and Michael's days off.  It was well worth the work to have such a nice piece of furniture that was made completely by all of us! (Mostly by Michael though.)

Alden spent a good amount of time out there working with Dad on it and did a lot of sanding as well. It is always nice when you have such a fun project to work on. :)
