The Fair

Yesterday we went to the fair! It was alot of fun because Jack can now ride rides at the fair!!! I can't believe my little boy is big enough to ride rides and have a good time with his buddies! He loves to be around other kids. He asks every day to play with buddies. Very social kid, which we figure he got from me ;) today we went to church and he got to play with all of his friends. Here we are on the carousel.





The airplanes were his favorite! He grinned every time he went by and was going fast fast!

Not too happy of a face, but he was enjoying himself I promise :)

The first set of planes

With his cup for safety!

We met a couple of friends and their little boys for the night at the fair, it went really well. It was not too crowded because it was chilly, but that made it great for us!

The train. He did great. Didn't try to climb out or cry at all.

Such a cute guy. So serious though, that comes from daddy we're pretty sure :)

On the ferris wheel with Nicole and Luke. Jack wasn't a huge fan of the funny feeling in his tummy as we went up, but it was fun.

The firemen let us sit on a real firetruck! He was very excited.

don't you love the track suit

We also got to watch some motocross motorcycle practice, the boys were mesmerized by the motorcycles.

the cycles

The toddler driving school with a local FFA

The real fireman.

Some more pics

I never really posted very many pics from our family photo shoot in March, here are some of my favorite ones :)

So serious in his suit :)

happy friday!

handsome guy

just wanted to share a pic from our photo shoot in march, look how handsome that boy is!
he is such a good boy. he listens well, he laughs easily, and he loves to play! He is so joyful. We had a dance party today to sesame street. what a cute guy.

Somebody got a haircut!

One thing I love about Babywise was the independent play time that we built into Jack's schedule from the very begining. He still does well playing by himself and he loves to read his books! I love this! I love to read and he brings me books to read to him. His favorite books are about tractors and Sesame street. Every day we read about Jesus. In his little Bible he recognizes the angels, Jesus, and he calls the Roman soldiers Daddy :)

Notice the hair :)

Our friend Dave is now a Green Beret! Congratulations Dave. We took this picture for daddy.

Our good friends the Plotts are moving to Washington. Here is a pic of Jack with Uncle Dave and Aunt Holly, they were some of the first to hold him in the hospital.

On another note- here is beautiful Kathleen. Our good friend's the McConnell's had their little girl Kathleen Shirley and since Ian is gone I was able to be there with Megan to support her. They are doing well. It will be a really great bond between us forever :)

Here we are before the big arrival

Okay....so here it is. The haircut. I was very nervous about Jack would do. But he actually did really well! We went to a kiddie salon and you can see he got to sit on a tractor and hold a frog. He was interested in the clippers and the lady was sooo nice. He was a big boy and did so well.

Being such a good boy

Bye bye baby hair, hello big boy. I think he looks so much more like Jake with the haircut.

Hello handsome boy! Almost 2 years old!
