Faces of Jack

When I see a camera, a phone,

an electronic of any kind,

I can't help myself.

I have to play with it.

Mom says she thinks I might need braces...

Babywearing...

Everybody's doing it!

(could Beckett look any happier???)

Scouts and fish

Today was our first Boy Scouts Fishing Derby.

The whole Pack turned out for the fun.

Wes caught 3

I caught 3-ish

I landed 2 on the shore,

and 1 didn't quite make it in.

You know what that means?

It must have been the largest fish in the pond,

probably the king of fish.

Isn't that what they say about the one that got away?

HPE Carnival

We've got our

all-inclusive bracelets...

how much fun can we squeeze into 2 hours

at the school carnival???

I started out with the rock wall

Did I mention I'm afraid of heights?

Half-way is far enough...

Jackson had a go--

he raced his friend Coy

He was totally beating him...

until he looked down and froze.

We hit the bike race next

I won this one!

Jack was out for a more leisurely ride

(and he got tangled up turning his rig around)

Don't forget Beckett!

We did the train,  

obstacle course,

wrecking ball,

soccer ball kick,

cake walk,

basketball toss,

and the toilet toss

I think we got our money's worth!

A big day

Turning 2 means

moving to the 2 year old classroom.

New friends, new toys,

new teacher...

it was a little overwhelming.

I think everything will be

right as rain

in a few days...

B's B-day

The party may have been a month ago,

but the actual Big Day has just arrived!

I'm 2!!!

Which mean we need to go out to dinner!

Grandma and Papa came along

Of course there were presents

And cupcakes!

Happy birthday day to me!

Pizza, cake, ice cream

and dinosaurs?

A man couldn't ask for more.

Another bath

Dad had a lot of help for this one

And I'm enjoying them more and more

Jack did the washing

Beck was in charge of lotion

How did Mom and Dad use to do this without

all the extra help?

Our Beautiful Family

We hired

Ferris Wheel Photography

to take Tucker's newborn pictures

and a few of the family as well.

They were gorgeous:

Love.

Soccer-day

It's Saturday...

do you know what that means?

It's Soccer-day!

And a special Soccer-day at that...

Tucker made his first trip to the soccer field!

Jack played first--

another win.

Then we all turned to the next field

to watch Austin play

Well, we sort of watched Austin play.

There was more oohing and aahing over Tucker

than watching the game.

We were chased off the field

not long after this

by the weather.

But every week

brings another Soccer-day!

Tucker made his second trip

the next week. 

Looks pretty happy to be here

Onward Dad!

We have games to get to

Hurray for Soccer-day!

Cuteness

There are just too many

adorable pictures

not to share...

What do they dream about

that makes them smile?

Milk coma

It's exhausting to be this cute

Baby burrito

That's a REALLY good dream!

Hello there

Chillin' as a fam

Life is good.

Helpers

Everyone is ready

and willing to help out

Lots of brotherly love!
