Has it really been 3 weeks since my last post?

This summer is flying by...I wish it would slow down!  We're having so much fun.  Here's a look at the past few weeks:

 Enjoying his first icy pop ever!  

 We now have nightly icy pops on the front porch

 Fun summer tradition

 Jack and his best buddy Patrick at his 1st birthday bash!

 These two are exactly 4 months (+1 day) apart.  Take note of their facial expressions - ha!! I have a feeling these two are going to get in lots of trouble together in the future.

 The party theme was "Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb"  Shannon (Patrick's mom) did an AMAZING job!! I wish I would have taken more pictures of all the decor.  The attention to details was beyond impressive.  If you haven't read the book, it's about monkeys and drums therefore the kids got to make drums as a craft.  So cute!! Jack loved his and colored every last inch of it :)

 During present time, Jack literally spent 5 minutes playing with this bag.  It was a hoot!!

 Crack me up!

 Jack has gotten to spend a lot of time with his Uncle RyRy this summer.  

 He adores him :)

 Jack is still a Mama's boy...

 Proof is in the picture...which I LOVE.

 These pictures are just funny.  They really capture Jack's personality.

 He's such a ham...Ryan was making him laugh by gasping really loud.  It's the little things...ha!

 Wrestling with RyRy

 It was close but Jack won.

It's going to be a sad day for Jack when he realizes that Ryan's stay is not permanent.  He goes back to Kirksville at the end of the week to celebrate his birthday and start college in a couple weeks.  I have a feeling Terry and I are going to get a lot of "RyRy?  RyRy?" followed by Jack standing outside of the guest room or looking out the front door :(  It's been a fun summer Ryan!!  We can't wait til next summer :)
