Backyard Fun!


































Well, before you even look at all the pictures of our backyard fun...just know there are lots of Mr. Jack running around in the backyard! We spend lots of time outside during the day and usually always play outside every night after dinner! He loves it and spends most of the time running around squealing and laughing! He thinks it is so much fun! We do chase him and play with him too! Lots of good exercise before bed time!
Jack is changing so much! He just seems like such a grown up little boy lately! He is starting to say "choo choo" when we talk about trains..and still "woofs" and all dogs! You would think he would say "dog"...but instead he barks at them! Too funny!
We had the best weekend with Dorin and Carrie in town! Two nights of dinner on teh patio and sitting up talking with best friends. It doesnt get much better than that. And we loved that they got to spend time with Jack!
We are going to have a quiet 4th of July and are looking forward to the weekend!
Oh...and Jack had a splinter in his hand today! The first..I am sure of many! We got it out tonight and he didnt make a sound!
Enjoy the new pictures!

West Coast to East Coast
























WOW! Steven and I just got back from 3 nights out in Sonoma Valley! It was amazing!!! Truly perfect and so great for us to have that time just the two of us! We visited some favorite wineries and a few new ones, ate amazing food, saw a NASCAR race with a glass of wine in hand, drove to the coast, and got a massage! Now...doesnt that sound perfect! We loved our time together and we loved getting home to see the angel prince!
Jack was such a big boy and spent the weekend with Aunt Jennifer and Uncle John on Friday and then spent Saturday and Sunday night with Granny and Poppa! He had such a big time! He played in the pool, celebrated Landa's birthday and Father's Day (Cake and ice cream - which he loved!), and played, played, played! We were so happy that he was with his grandparents and aunt and uncle! We were very proud of how well he did! I think we missed him more than he missed us! :)

It really was a fabulous weekend! We are very excited about this upcoming weekend because Dorin and Carrie are coming to stay with us! We can't wait for them to get here! It should be relaxing and some good quality time together! :)
Summer is here and it is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are having a blast! :)

Check out all the pictures! (LOTS of albums, so make sure you see them all..... Jack's first trip to the zoo, weekend with Jenn, John, Granny, and Poppa, and of course......Sonoma!)

Family, Family, and more Family!


































We have had a great week!!! Grandbubba was here from Thursday - Sunday!!! Poppa came down to play and visit on Sunday afternoon....then Nannie came in town Sunday night and stayed through Wednesday! It was soooooo much fun! We love having family here and we really love Jack being around everyone! He loved it of course! New people to entertain!!! And even more exciting is that Mimi is coming on Saturday!!!!! We can't wait!
It really was a great weekend and we played with Jack around the house and at the pool!
Jack is growing up so fast! 14 months old now and all over the place! His favorite thing is still to read and play with his books! He really loves books! He also is loving playing outside everyday, and of course is having way too much fun at the pool! It was a busy spring...and leading to a busier summer! Jack finished up his Music and Swim classes this Spring! He really enjoyed both of them! He still meets with his playgroup every Tuesday morning and we always love playing with his buddies!
Next weekend, Steven and I are headed to Sonoma Valley for the weekend! We are so excited! Jack is staying with Aunt Jennifer and Uncle John on Friday night, then with Nana and Poppa on Saturday and Sunday night! He is so excited! He loves going to Gainesville to play! :) (On another note... we are hopefully finding out tomorrow if we are going to have a new niece or nephew! We are sooooooooo excited!!!! We are thinking it's a girl, but we will keep you posted!)

Things are really great here and we are thankful each and everyday for our wonderful little family! Enjoy all of our new pictures!
