"Don't Forget about ME!"

 About a week before we started packing up our house from our language city,

Levi discovered our luggage under the bed and came up with some plans of his own for our packing:

I guess he realized "First things First" and he wanted to make sure he made it in the big move!

 So he loaded himself up and kept making his pleasant little "insistent noise" -

AKA "uuuh- uuuh- uuh- uuh"

(since he refuses to say "please" for any sort of request- trust me, we have been trying- lol)

After his long persistence we gave in to his cuteness and took him for rides around the house.

I think you could say he had a good time- what do you say?:

 

*Good News- BOTH Levi and all of our luggage made it in the move, just in case anyone was worried- haha :)

:: Basket Case ::

 Now a days

Levi LOVES climbing into things- baskets, buckets, luggage, the opportunities are endless :)

No matter the shape, no matter the size...

This little boy wants to fit inside!

Tiny Toes...Tiny Feet... Teeny Tiny Flip Flops

Tiny Toes + Tiny Feet + Those Teeny Tiny Flip Flops (on one little boy I love) = ADORABLE!

TENT TIME

 Levi & I decided to relive some of my fun childhood memories one Saturday :)

So we made a TENT in the living room, with some chairs & a blanket, to play in.

My sisters & I LOVED doing things like this growing up,

 so it was a blast re-creating it with my little guy!

Another favorite past time for this crew is camping, so hopefully one day we will get the chance to introduce this little one to some real outdoor tent camping.

I sure hope so!

 

HAPPY TRAILS!

 "Can anyone guess where I am?"

 

Yes- this is no joke, this boy loves to climb and these days he has become quite creative.

We were out on the porch and all of a sudden I thought- where did he just go?

Well, who would have guessed:

He crammed himself all up underneath this lovely stroller.

LOL- Let's just say I got a "little" chuckle out of it and he got a "little" frustrated and fussy at his "lack of space" after about 2 minutes.

 

For Work or For Play?

 

"Seriously Mom- where did you find these awesome toys?"

. Levi Photo Shoot .

 I couldn't get over how cute Levi looked in his new "Levi's" shirt Grammy sent

so I decided to have a little photo shoot just for fun:

 

Good Little Note Taker

(Totally unstaged- promise!)

...P.A.R.K...

 During one of our last weeks in our language city, 

we decided to just go hang out at a park, up near the mountains, as a family.

It was beautiful and we had a wonderful time.

Here was Levi leading the way:

Doing what he does best- finding rocks & dirt :)

 "Hey guys- are ya' comin' ?"

 "Alright alright, I'll come back and get you" :)

 Checking out the fish tank with Papa

 

The view from the park:

This boy doesn't miss an opportunity to check out a phone, 

and the folks at the park were no exception :)  

I guess his deal was if they wanted to say "Hi" they had to give up the phone for a few minutes-

 and they gladly obliged.

 

 some cool steps that took you to a lower portion of the park where you could find more park benches and get a better view of the mountains.

 Ridin' high with his Papa

 Running free

 Family Portrait

LOL- Pretty fancy isn't it?

 Playing with a new friend

 

We are not kidding when we say this boy loves to climb and LOVES stairs

We took SEVERAL trips up and down these steps.

(He is so sweet though- he always knows to turn and look for a hand to hold)

 Papa Time:

 Mama Time :)

 So grateful for this man and couldn't imagine life without him

I think it is safe to say he had a good time

 "Thanks for taking me to the park- and thanks y'all for visiting it with me"
