Happy Father's Day

We had a wonderful Father's Day. The day started for Daddy by going into his office to find an entire wall of his cubicle had been covered with pictures of his kiddos.

Daddy and his babies

Later in the evening we had dinner with Grammy, Papa and friend Vanessa. Then we headed over to Great-Grandpa and Grandma's house for some home-made German Chocolate cake. Yummm.

Then we watched a movie at Grammy and Papa's house. We had such a special day as a family. The only thing missing was baby Lexi (and her parent's too. )

6 Month Check up...at 8 Months.

Today was Jack's 6 month check up. Yes, he is almost 8 months now but we have been dealing with about 6 weeks of solid ear infections. So today we had a painful ear check up and some shots. At least we got a couple of very nice Snoopy bandaids.
Here are the stats:
23 lbs 14 ounces - to be honest we thought he was about 25 lbs now.
28 1/2 inchs long.
This puts him in the 95th percentile for weight and the 75th for height.

Trying to be brave for the camera

This isn't working
This side got 2 shots. :(

Little Jack was not as brave today as he has been. He spent the rest of the day snuggling with his Papa.

Love Me Some Food!

For those of you who don't know my Jack, he loves to eat. This particular day he was all over the Turkey & Veggies.

Look at the face!

Whooooo hooo! I love me some food!
Is this food the same color as my hair?

This boy is possibly the sweetest thing I have ever seen. He is always so happy. None of us (even Caroline Belle) can get enough of this slobbery hunk of love.

Church Picnic

Today was the first of many church picnics at Lake Wild Wood. Normally we do our baptisms there, cook out and swim for the whole afternoon. No baptistms today, just play time with family and friends.

Rick ended up getting totally drenched with water by some of the kids along with his "Partner in Crime" Mark. Don't ask me how I failed to get that picture. It was a great day and we are POOPED...AGAIN! I don't think we will ever get any rest!

More Bubba Love

We can't get enough of our Bubba!

Feed me.

I think this is your color!
Let me give you a little brush.

Bubba, you are so comfy!

He's not comin' home yet, Nana! We are not done!

Playing with Papa

Since we moved into our new place and we are no longer living with my wonderful parents, we have found that our kids miss their "Grammy & Papa" sooooo much. So one of our favorite weekly traditions is dinner with my parents. The back yard is a great place for some rough & tumble with Papa. My Dad has diligently worked to have the softest lawns you have ever touched; a process that has taken him many years.

Our weekly date started so innocently

Then the rolling started
Then the steamroller
Jack? Not in the mood.

Say, "uncle!"

I think he used this move on me and my siblings once or twice.

Giddy-up Papa!

Daddy got some too

Daddy and his babies

We love our weekly dates. They always include wonderful food too. This particular night we enjoyed a nice juicy tri-tip, baked asparagus with Parmesan, garlic bread and baked potatoes (are you jealous Pee and Curtis?). YUMMMMMMMM

Our Cousin Kadyn

My cousin Kari came by the other day with her adorable son Kadyn (almost 3!) The kiddos had all kinds of fun running around, playing on the rope swing and beating eachother with my roses (!)

Kadyn, Jack & Caroline

tickle, tickle!
Check out those baby blues!
EYE spy Kadyn, do you?
Cousin Kari and Jack

Kari and Kadyn live about 4 hours away in Clovis, CA. It is always so great to see them between holidays and other fmaily events.

Fun With Uncle Bubba

Uncle Bubba (Travis) has come to visit us for 2 whole weeks! We have had so much fun with him!

Have a seat!

Must go on!
Having such a great time! Stay tuned for more pictures!

Fun at the Lake

Friday night our Uncle Bubba came in to visit us for 2 weeks! We didn't waste any time. Saturday morning we were up bright and early and headed to Rollins Lake for some morning fun. We were invited by Bobby Breaux (Our Children's Pastor) and the Hadleys came too! We had a blast skiing, knee boarding and getting our butts kicked on the tube (Bobby is ruthless).

Do I have sand in my teeth?
Let me dig something up for you
