Look at our sign!!

FINALLY!! The sign company that we hired only took an extra 7 weeks to get this done! But it's beautiful. Justin did all of the artwork (he does all of JJ's artwork). He is totally awesome. Remember to click on the picture to see it up close & then come by to see it in real life!!

Also, I'll be adding some other pictures to the JJ's blog next. So check the progress inside the store. We're still looking at 2-3 weeks before we can move in.

Painting at the New JJ's

Here are some pictures of our new store. We are in the process of painting & then we will be tiling the floors.

I'm putting these pictures on our family blog since Adam is in them. We will be adding some to our store's blog soon (minus the kids). Check it out at http://gojjs.blogspot.com/

Zoo Family Pictures

One of these pictures I took, so my sister, Jackie could be in it. Then she took one with me in it. Her kids are Jacob, in blue, and Anikin, in red. Grandpa John is wearing Allison's hat. And Allison is dressed in Adam's soccer uniform. I am wearing my own clothes, thank you!

Just a reminder to click on the pictures to enlarge them.

Zoo Day

Can you tell which of these are the zoo visitors and which are the zoo residents? The two monkeys are Adam and his cousin, Jacob.

On our second visit to the zoo, the animals were more active then they often are (I think because it was earlier in the day). The big cats were out and about. The polar bears were playing. The peacocks were displaying and making lots of noise. My favorite was the prairie dogs. The kids also liked seeing the seals and sea lions get feed. And Adam likes the birds of prey!

Then we took the train over to the aquarium and had a picnic lunch. I cannot believe the endless amounts of energy the kids have! I'm still pooped!

Tyranosaurus!! Watch Out.

Here we are at the Natural History Museum. The kids especially love the "lava room" (where it looks like there is lava flowing under your feet).

We saw the Dynamax show "The Living Sea." It was awesome. But, I realized that Grandpa John lives in the living sea! He scuba dives regularly when he's at home. He has actually been to the places that were in the show! Too cool!!

A Visitor from Hawaii...

My dad has been visiting us for the past 10 days. He has managed to break away from the beautiful ocean to visit New Mexico (His "gills are drying out!"). We have been all over the city of Albuquerque seeing the sights. We've been to the zoo twice, the Natural History Museum, the Balloon Museum, Explora, the Rattlesnake Museum...

The kids LOVE their Grandpa John. And I think Grandpa John loves them too. We have loved having him here and can't wait for his return in the future.

The following posts will show a couple of highlights of his visit. Although, I am not good at taking pictures regularly.

Stop Being Corny!

Boy, do we love corn!
