Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

Friday we took Jack to his first Ranger game!  He was excited to go to the Ballpark and I think he had a good time!  He LOVES baseball.

If you're at the Ballpark, you must enjoy a hot dog and boy did he ever!  He ate every last bite and washed it all down with some lemonade.  Perfect for a hot summer evening.

Sweet friends, Reese and CJ.

Reese was even nice enough to share his Lemon Chill with Jack.  Yum!  You can see from the video that Jack was loving every bite!

Family Photo Session 2012 - Sneak Peek

If you're in the Dallas area and need a good family photographer, she's your girl!  Super sweet, calm, laid back, amazing...  Need I say more?  If these were the only good photos we got, the session would still totally be worth it!  We left there feeling good about taking family pictures, and that rarely happens, not to mention it was close to 100 degrees that day!! 

Jack's 3rd Birthday Party

We celebrated Jack's 3rd birthday party at the Gentle Zoo in Forney.  I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived that there was a room with A/C set up for our party!  I was expecting to be outdoors with little shade, but there was a large shaded area with picnic tables near the petting zoo.  It was perfect!

  

Jack and everyone else had so much fun feeding the animals.  I think we went through about 10 buckets of food!  

There was a tractor train that took everyone for a tour of the zoo.  They have corn guns, a bounce house, playground and the petting zoo.  They also offer pony rides, but their pony was a little under the weather the day we were there.

We had a good time with friends and family!  And I will definitely be visiting the Gentle Zoo again soon!  Maybe when it cools down a little.

The party continued at our house with gifts.  My card was full, so I don't have any pictures of Jack opening gifts, but lets just say there are A LOT of new toys at our house!

The kids were so funny riding on Jack's new Mini Mustang!  They looked like they were riding in a parade.  HA!

Waiting for Daddy to bring out his BIG gift from us...

  

It'll be a while before he can ride on his own, but he's having fun riding that "big 'ol motorcycle" with his Daddy!

Overall, it was a great Birthday Party Day!

A Week at the Lake - In Pictures

Papa and Jack riding the tractor.

4th of July - Looking like a tourist!

On Tuesday they went to "town" and Jack got a mustang.  He can make a sound just like a real race car!

Almost cleaned his plate at the Mexican restaurant.

Worn out after all that shopping!

Papa and his little buddy - I'm sure they walked up and down that dock a million times last week.

Fishing

I love those rosy cheeks and sunscreen makes some pretty good gel!

Going for a boat ride...

Sweet baby!

When at the lake, you must drink milk out of your red Solo cup!  Jack even found a "blue, red Solo" cup!  Haha! 

Just hangin' out.

And while Jack was chillin' with at the lake with Grammy and Papa, Mama and Daddy were having a good 'ol time at home!  Thanks Mama and Jeff for keeping Jack for us, we really appreciated the little break, but are happy to have him home!

Our Little Fishy

After a week at the lake with Grammy and Papa, our sweet Jack has turned into little fishy Nemo!  That boy LOVES the water and is actually "swimming" pretty good.

Not only is he swimming good, he is also a SILLY BOY!  

He made up his own little anthem!

God Bless the USA

We had a great weekend at the lake with my family! I think there were 20 of us all together. Too bad we didn't get a picture with everyone.

Every year my parents neighborhood has a parade and judges all the "floats". This year ours won Most Colorful! Yay!

Jack was so excited to ride in the parade with Aunt Sarah!  He was a good little co-pilot!

Molly and Linzi get all the credit for decorating the float this year (with a little help from the boys)!  They even had on red, white and blue hula skirts!  HA!  They threw beads, candy and other red, white and blue goodies.

Randy and "his girlfriend" hanging out at the boathouse.  I'm so thankful Memaw and Grandad got to come to the lake and enjoy our 4th of July Celebration!

Getting ready to watch fireworks with Memaw and Grandad.  I think this was Jack's first time to see "real" fireworks and I'm pretty sure he loved it!  He kept saying "boom, boom!" and talking about how the fireworks were "so, so LOUD!"  He prefaces everything with either "real, real" or "so, so" to emphasize whatever he's talking about.  He's a trip!

Ran and me enjoying the sunset and getting ready to watch the fireworks.
