Today

Today at breakfast we needed a few pics of this handsome face. look at that sweet boy of mine!

He's saying uh oh

trouble

concerned

look how big he is in his chair now :)

This pic was from a couple days ago, we were going to the pool in the afternoon, but Jack took about a 4 hour nap, I finally woke him so we wouldn't miss all our pool time. I found him like this with his racecar on his belly so i had to take a couple pictuers.

These are from our sleepover with Nicole and Luke. The boys mowed for about a half an hour together, it was soo cute.

They loved it!

They love their mowing, such big boys!

Always on the go!

july flies by...

So it is August now, I can't believe it! But here are some pics of what we've been up to. On a rainy day we went to the mall and rode this awesome airplane, Jack loved it. He actually tried to go back to it anytime I let him out of the stroller, but I didn't have anymore quarters, so he was out of luck...but his fascination with anything motorized continues.
We went to the children's museum here in town and they had an ambulance, a fire truck, and a police car, needless to say he was very entertained.

We now make an ambulance/police car sound, it's awesome.

Wrestling with Papa, I didn't realize I had more pics on my camera from home, so here are some good ones from our last couple days.

Driving the boat, we went out on the lake with the Hollar family and had a great time. Jack really liked driving in circles :) I would like to point out that the expression on his face can also be found on Jake Sweatland's face at times...

The fountain in Winona

With Grandma at the fountain

With Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Snyder, just look at that cheese smile.

I love the smile on his face in this one

We wanted to say love you Daddy!

Winona

Well we wanted to let you know what we've been doing. It's kind of backwards. But we are home in Winona for a couple weeks and it has been wonderful! Jack is loving it. He has been loved on by so much family. Here is Aunt Judy with Jack at Great Grandma and Grandpa Sweatlands pool.





We went to the fair on Sunday to see the animals and get dairy barn milkshakes, brought back lots of good memories :)

The fair parade, Jack loves the tractors

Jack and Papa

So I mentioned that Jack loves tractors so we went with Grandma and Grandpa Sweatland to visit the tractor store. Apparently the biggest in Indiana.
Here he is the little farmer

Driving the gator

Riding the gator was his favorite thing to do with Grandpa Jeff
Here he is on the big tractor. he says it now, soo cute "tractor"

Look everyone Tractors

We went to the zoo and saw the giraffes

Feeding the goats at the zoo

Jack's favorite thing at Papa's house (my parents) is the bike!

He loves to sit on it and say vroom vroom. He thinks he's big stuff, and yes we did take him on a ride around the block. He gets really excited!

Look at that handsome boy!

Riding the bike.

We got home in time to see the fireworks in Winona. We gave Jack a late nap so that he could stay up late. He loved the fireworks, he called them boom booms. He did really well.

At Great Grandma's house. We stopped in Columbus on our way from Fayetteville and got to see alot of our extended family. We had a great time. Jack got to meet his second cousin (well i'm not exactly sure about the relation my cousin marks son Sam) He is soo cute!
Jack has been loving stuffed animals and almost always hugs them.

So this is from fayetteville, I have a garden this year and I planted Basil and tomoatoes so that I could have Caprese salad. So this is my masterpiece, home grown tomatoes and basil with fresh mozarella and some balsamic vinegar dressing. Soooo good. yummmm....

Whew, well it has been a whirlwind, and I know that Jack has been tuckered out, as you can see. Just look at that face :)

Also you can note in the above pictures that Jack has gotten a haircut, it was terrible again, he hated it and screamed bloody murder, but looks pretty good if I do say so myself. Well, will try to post more in a few days, but enjoy the pics.

Thanks for reading :)

Happy Father's Day

My mom and dad are here for a visit and a wedding and we have been having a wonderful time!
Jack is loving the extra love! Happy Father's Day to Daddy and Papa and Grandpa Jeff and Great Grandpa Lou and Great Grandpa Sweatland and Great Grandpa Larry!

Here are Jack and Papa today.

Jack and Daddy 1 year ago today!

Look how chubby he was!

It's amazing how much change occurs in 1 year!

Some pics from the week!

Handsome guy! I love this one

Walking

Happy Father's Day!

Swimming!

Jack has really been enjoying the pool this summer! He was a little skittish of the water a few weeks ago, but now when we get in he grins and laughs. I love that because I am a fish, if I could be any animal, I would be a dophin. :)
Here is the pool we went to Saturday.

Break time, watermelon of course.

I know he doesn't look happy here, but he was loving it.

We went to the pool with Luke and Nicole a couple weeks ago. He was very nervous at first, lots of kids and I think he was a little overwhelmed, but once I got him in the water he splashed around and did great.
His eyes and his truck.

the 2 of us

The cool pool

my handsome guy

Also he is officially a walker now. I would say as of yesterday, June 11, he started walking more than any other mode of transportation. He walked into the kitchen to find me! He is also loving walking now that he can go fast. I think it is true that since he walked so late he hasn't fallen much at all. He is really steady and is wary of steps, grass, or uneven footing. If he loses his balance he really just sits down. He is still very much in love with trucks right now. I have a couple of great videos i want to post if i can remember how...

Sesame Street!

On Saturday we went to Sesame Street LIVE!!! It was awesome and Jack really enjoyed it. We went with Nicole and Luke. the boys were so into it the first half. we didn't quite make it through the whole show, but they did really well. clapping along, dancing, and lots of wows! I bought Jack a big bird at the shop, he loves him and sleeps with him now, along with his Ernie which used to belong to daddy.
