Summer Trip to Colorado

This summer we went to Durango to visit Ryan's best friend Brad. Here are some pictures:

Odds and Ends

"Do you want to see my pee pee?"

These days, Jack is very proud of his performance in the bathroom. Whenever he is successful, he runs to us and asks, "do you want to see my pee pee?" Of course, we run to see it and cheer and then have a party complete with party hats (crazy ski hats) and dancing. Since Ryan already left for work, he wasn't able to come see, so Jack decided to save it for him when he gets home. :)

The little gentleman

Since Jack woke up at 6 am this morning, I thought he would be ready for a nap after I picked him up from school. I went to Chick-Fil-A to get nuggets for him because I thought he'd eat a couple and then fall asleep on the way home. Jack said they were too spicy, so we ended up at McDonald's to get new nuggets. Jack got a second wind, so we went to the playground on the way home and met two new friends. After Foster, the 4 year-old brother was mean and threw away Juliana's, the 3 year-old little girl's cup in the trash can, Jack ran to the trash can to get it out for her. After I told him not to get it, he thought she'd like his happy meal toy.

Watching The Rain

At 6:00 am this morning, Jack woke us up to come into his room and look at the rain on his skylight. "Did you see that lightning, Daddy?" "That's pretty lightning, Mommy." He is such a sweetie. It was a special moment with him.

SMU Football

Monday (Labor Day) was the first SMU football game. The Mustangs played the Texas Tech Raiders, and Jack had a blast despite the rain. He loves to yell for the players, dance at halftime and see Peruna, the pony. He's quickly learning the art of heckling from his Daddy. As you can see from the picture, he used his hand binoculars to watch the game.

Hidden Treasure

We are building an outdoor grill area, and where the drain will be is a plastic pipe. When we were having breakfast on Saturday morning, Jack thought it would be fun to put his plastic cup down the pipe. We could read his mind and knew what he intended to do, so Ryan said no, and asked Jack, "Do you know what will happen if you drop your cup down the pipe?" Jack said, "I will be happy, and you will cry." Jack didn't drop the cup down the pipe, but from the look on his face, he enjoyed pressing Daddy's buttons. :) The stone masons came later that morning to finish it, and after they cut off the pipe, they discovered a hidden treasure including valuable rocks and sticks and and an outdoor bowling ball.
