Oh June where have you gone??

I am finally having time to type with two hands and wanted to share what has been happening in June before we move on to July. Today is the first beautiful day and I am typing this looking out onto the scenic, crisp mountains behind our house. Zeke is growing fast and Ty is enjoying his role as a new big brother. He also got to spend time with his friend Quinton who also became a new big brother in June. These two are like two peas in a pod and they certainly feed of each others energy when they are together. 

Marc's family (minus Dan and Carlynne) ventured west for Zeke's baptism.  We had a wonderful weekend capped off with a great party.  (More on that to come in the next post!)  Here is a picture extravaganza from the weekend.
Nana and Papa and all their grandkids: (And no Zeke is not jaundiced he is just extremely dark compared to his pale cousins) :)

Hanging out with the aunties

Father's Day breakfast

Zeke is growing fast!  He has super big blue eyes that often have a very surprised look.

Cousins.  Ty and Fraser are starting to get a taste of cousinhood.  Ty was not too happy to share his baby toys with Fraser as he thought most of them belonged to Zeke. He was however quite happy to pile them just out of Fraser's reach when he was in the jolly jumper.

Playing with Nana and Papa.  Nana gave Zeke a bath in the sink as she would often do with Ty. (Which reminds me, it has been a while since Zeke had a bath.  The second child is always much dirtier I hear.)

Happy Birthday Bettio! 

We have been busy getting out a lot even though the weather has been poor.  Marc went hiking with Mike and got this great picture with him and all the witches hair.
We are continuing to enjoy our window seat, Ty in the last couple of weeks has become extremely interested in reading longer books and we spend a lot of time reading to him there.  Today I had laid Zeke down in the window seat and Ty starting reading him a book too.  So cute!

Marc has been using our kayak several times a week and I was able to get out with him when Julie and Lowell were here.  The Fraser had been rising (it peaked last week) and the bridge to our street was unpassable (in my opinion).  I would have had to duck fully down in the kayak in order to go underneath and I was not willing to do so.  When Marc took Julie and Lowell out I checked where they were on mobile me and saw they were about to pass under the bridge of death and sent a warning text saying "Don't go under the bridge.  Danger. Danger."  They did not heed my warning as you can see from the bottom picture.  Apparently the danger was not too great. ;)

Hopefully you are all enjoying beautiful weather as we are.  We will not be as negligent of our blog in July! (Here's hoping!)
