Ryan, Jen, Jack and Eleanor: July 2009

The summer has flown by, and I have been a terrible blogger! Although, I do have a good excuse...my computer short circuited and was out being repaired, so here I am catching up on all of the fun we have been having!!!

Jack graduated from his Little Gym class in June. Daddy stopped in from work to take part in the festivities. It was so special to have him there and Jack loved showing him all the things he could do at Gym class!

His first ribbon!

He loved playing with the balls!

Jack and Daddy talking by the balance beam.

Jack and I headed to Indy at the end of June/first of July. We had such a great visit there spending time with my parents, sisters, brother in laws, nieces, and nephews. We also enjoyed spending the 4th of July at Carol Jo and Sherman's farm. Jack loved Uncle Sherman's combine! The weather was perfect and was a good break from the Texas heat! We may have to spend more time up there in the summer months! Here are some pictures from our travels there:

Jack and I took a rode trip in mid July to visit the Hayter (my cousins) ranch in far west Texas. We had such a wonderful time, and it was truly special to be able to share that place with him. It was great seeing my cousins and Aunt Carol Jo! Jack still talks about Joe Bob climbing windmills, throwing rocks (there is not a shortage of them out there!), Happy the dog, Mike & Ike the horses and the wagon ride, feeding chickens, Bob and "Fancy's" House, and how Bob calls to the cows "Wooaa!" Here are some pictures from our time out there-Enjoy!
