Jack's First Birthday

We had some friends over to celebrate Jack's first birthday.

This is for the (almost) resident dermatologist of the family

I think Aberly might be allergic to something...

(maybe... possibly)



We had our lawn cut today....


She also made a pillow out of sand and took a short nap on top of a railroad tie.

Honestly, we don't know what did it, but we should probably figure it out.

And if you think the top half looks bad, you should see her legs!!!

(In case you were worried, Zyrtec fixed her right up.)

...And We're Back!

After donning her new overalls, Aberly announces to the kitchen, "Look at me, I'm Papa John!"


What else have we been up too?

We celebrated Easter this year at Papi's!

Finding the eggs...


Enjoying the eggs...



But first,
Painting the eggs...




We took a little trip to the circus. As Aberly reminds me every night, she rode Dumbo at the circus!


The two in the back are ours! :)

Random Photos for your Viewing Pleasure

Doing a little sandbox playing...


Taking a spin around the driveway...


And, um... uh... preparing for a flash flood, maybe... yeah, I don't know, I give up.

On Your Mark

Get set, Go!




One more time...

Sushi Night

Tonight was family sushi night. Yum Yum!

You can't have sushi without chopsticks...






But what were we eating, you ask?

A little of this...


Some of that...


Oh, and the kids, of course, had rolled up PB&J, what else!


Don't think Jack got left out. He enjoyed a little sushi rice.


Followed very quickly by a bath.

(Cause... sticky rice is sticky!)

Laughing babies...

...make me laugh.

Ryan makes Jack laugh, so we all have a good time.

Jesus Loves the Little Children

as sung by Aberly

Something new

If you look closely, you can see Jack's two new teeth.

Come and get your pictures!!!

We went to the photo studio today. I wasn't thrilled with the results, but we got some okay pictures... and a ton of actual printed out photos. So, let me know if you want one.









And then there were these....












....and we're done.

(Y'all, I swear I fixed her hair before we left the house... I don't know what happened, seriously!!!)

Valetine's Day

We spent Valentine's Day at a little zoo outside of town. It might have been a tad cold... but we had fun anyway.



We saw a bear....


We got to pet a fox...



And come on, how may people can say they have been this close to a skunk... on purpose


Aberly wasn't so sure about the skunk.


Finally, what better way to spend the long ride home than playing foot wars with your best buddy.


(Just slipping this in 'cause it's cute.)
