serenata trail + to great grandparent's house we go.

So now that January is almost over, it's finally getting good. That must mean February will just keep getting better! We rung in the New Year with colds and then once we all started feeling healthy again the stomach flu took us down, one by one. It was pretty horrible. First my baby, then my hubs, and of course me (the one who was trying to take care of everyone else) so things got pretty messy. All this while in the middle of moving... but now that we are feeling healthy and back to normal things are looking pretty bright these days.

Last weekend we met up with grandma Grams for a late evening park adventure and a mini hike during sunset:

not too sure about the cactus plants behind him, eh?

picking flowers, such a romantic this boy.

hiking up to the top with such determination...he would not let us hold his hand! mr. independent, sheesh ;)

made it to the top with the ball in hand (it made it down too).

grams + grandson.

jace walked up to the basket hoop, stood a few feet away, looked up, and actually tried to shoot! as far as i'm concerned no one showed him how to play some basket ball...

jace's beautiful great grandma with his grandpa.

and his dapper great grandpa.

my monkey boy and please excuse my drunk tired face.

at his other great grandma's house, exploring.

all eyes on the monkey boy.

always being silly.

I love that Jace gets to spend quality time visiting with his great grandparents. 

I love that he lights up their faces with joy and fills the room with laughter.

I love that he knows he is loved and cared for by his family members.

I love this family of mine.

Happy Friday! Here's to another great weekend!
