Fun in Iowa

Watching the train go by. Now to Jack, this is "Thomas!"

Scootin', rather than crawlin' thru.

Jack all too pleased to get a ride on Gpa Jack's riding lawn mower.

Love my grandma :)

Jack and Chloe. A dog just his size!

Park-in' it

Jack loved his time at the park. Now what's more fun that a trolly ride with Jack, his buddy Jack, his other buddy Jack and little Avery (in blue hat)?

Trains and Tracks

Just received an anticipated package in the mail. Hand-me-down trains and tracks from cousin Tucker (thanks Auntie Carmen!!!).

Wouldn't you know, I just scored a little table ($5!!) at a garage sale today. Jack's already putting it to good use. We might go find some chairs for it at Target tonight.
Since we just rearranged our two downstairs bedrooms, I show you this pic to display the dresser in the closet...makes for extra space in Jack's room.

Now who's having a better time, Tom or Jack-Jack?

After Mother's Day dinner

Jack having some grandma time.
Abby hammin' it up. Sheryl just looking on.

Tom feeding Dwyer.

Abby and Dwyer

Had the blessing of babysitting my niece and nephew today for a few hours.

How can you resist the smiles Dwyer is giving?

Time at Grandma's

At the last minute, my little sis was able to fly up here for a conference. So I spent the day at my mom's on Tues., while she helped watch Abby and Dwyer.

Can you believe I got NO pictures of Dwyer yet (sorry family!!!)....they'll be coming....I hope.

The last time I saw Abby, she was about Jack's age.

Please don't bother Jack while he helps Grandma make bread. He cannot be bothered to look at the camera.

I'm hoping he'll help his Grandma H. in our upcoming trip to the midwest!!!

Park 'in it

First time using the timer setting on my camera.

Hmmm - when you ask for a kiss from Jack, watch out. You might get a mouthful!

More kisses...I'm beside myself in how adorable I think this picture is of my boys.

We LOVED being outside this past weekend. Just played at a couple different parks while we went out for walks. I just love May.
