Crazy Birthday boy

This boy loves attention and on his birthday he is entitled to it I suppose. If he can't reach a toy he screams at it hoping it the sound waves will shake the toy over to him. If you say no to something he wants he will have a huge pout face and lay his head on the floor crying(whining). His feelings are surely hurt. Now that he is "of age" he follows Jack around the house grabbing his arm or shirt with his famous grip and with a smile holds on until Jack cries. We are working on that one just so you know. What a boy. Take a look:

Jett's 1st Birthday

Jett is finally one! He is such a fireball. We love him so much and the kids make sure he knows it. He has got a grip like a vice and a smile like a jester. He loves to open and close anything and push around the laundry basket. On his birthday he made sure everyone was laughing so he danced and screamed like a wild thing. Probably his favorite thing to do is dance to music. Any kind of beat comes on and he is shaking his body. Be careful not to get in his way though, he likes to concentrate on his moves. Happy Birthday Jett!

Brisket

Marty's first brisket from his smoker turned out real tasty. I think he wants to try it again and perfect cooking out the toughness. We had friends over to share the meal with. So proud of you honey!

4th of July

So I have been having Computer problems, but we're back up and running! Here are some pictures from our 4th of July parade in our community.

This is Jack and our good friends

These are our great neighbors!

Celie decided to be in the parade at the last minute.

Jack is obviously enjoying the parade. It was so hot that they were handing out drinks of water at the end of the parade. I think I would have passed out if I didn't have it.
