These boys soaked up some serious fun with a recent visit from Grandpa and Granmomma!
Joey, their puppy, has grown a lot since Christmas, and took full advantage of our neighborhood playground. All the kids and all the dogs that we play with every day fell in love with Joey and we would stay for hours each day trying to burn some puppy energy. He even got Zoey involved in the play! We never did manage to wear him out, but having friends at the park all the time certainly helped, as it does with Alexander's energy. We could not be happier with our neighborhood.
Grandpa snuggle time
Can you spot the photo bomber in the back? Grandmomma usually has Joey snuggled up with her, but with him outside, Alexander took his chance.
Nikolai is a great conversationalist and has always loved talking to his Grandpa
These boys amaze me with how they already play together and love each other so much
The weather was gorgeous for their visit, but with all the blooming flowers, we all suffered from sinus problems...Grandpa sneezed in Lowes and said at everyone around him looked like he had just doomed them to Coronavirus. Like other areas, Las Vegas is running short on toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and water, but the Martin Crew is staying healthy!
We headed up the mountain to try and sled. We got some sledding in, but it was pretty sloppy, so we did more hiking than sledding.
It was still fun to play in the snow and Grandpa and Alexander got a couple good rides in
So great to have this cooler spot so close to home
Alexander climbed nearly to the top of the mountain. He made a huge snowball and then he and Grandpa rolled it down the mountain, yelling, "avalanche!"
The next day, we got out the fishing pole that Grandpa got Alexander for Christmas.
It has a cornhole board to practice aiming.
As with most sports he tries, Alexander was a natural, nailing the target on his third cast
They put the real lure on and started casting into the pool
Staying busy, Grandpa gave Daniel the super gift while he was here....he installed a power charger for the Tesla!
Alexander was thrilled to be able to help
No children were harmed in the installation of this high voltage wire :)
After a month of mental leaps and sleep regressions, I finally got my happy baby back!
Nikolai had been so unhappy for a full month. When it was time for the mental leap to have passed, I decided to pull back on solid foods. Within days, my smiling boy was back! I am now slowly introducing foods known to be more mild on the tummy. So far avocado is working and my baby is still smiling! He may not sleep well, but his laughter fills a room.
Such a joyful baby
I was so glad that his happy personality was back while Grandpa and Grandmomma were here
A mama and her boy
It was a great visit with lots of memories made!
