Do you see the rock flying in the air? =)

We traveled to the ranch this past weekend and had a wonderful time! Jack has a blast there and spends every waking moment outside. Ryan's parents just hung a longhorn bull head over the fireplace and named him Manuel. Anyhow, Jack was quite frightened of Manuel and when we would ask him if he wanted to see him, Jack would say, "No, Manuel scary." It was the first time I have ever heard him express his emotions by using the word scary. By the end of the trip, he warmed up to Manuel and frequently asks about him. Jack loved throwing rocks in the pond (he was soaking wet after throwing rocks & sticks in the water...he certainly is all boy), going on rides and of course, visiting all of the windmills. He LOVES windmills!!!

Easter Egg Fun

Happy Easter!!!!

After celebrating the resurrection of our Savior on Easter, we headed to the Stotler's for a wonderful lunch and Easter Egg hunt. We had such a fabulous time! Jack enjoyed playing with Blakely and Davis and the food (and desserts!) were delicious!!!

The Saturday before Easter we traveled to San Marcos to celebrate Sunday's (Ryan's cousin) baby that is on the way! We had a great time with the Trujillo family and it was especially great seeing Ryan's Grandma. It was also so good to see Critter and Barbara since we have not seen them since Christmas. Jack loved seeing his Grandma & Grandpa M; he gave Critter the biggest hug and kiss goodbye and sweetly said, "I love you, Grandma." It was too precious!!

Growing Tomatoes

This past weekend we decided to plant some tomatoes, cilantro and parsley in a pot on our patio. Jack loves to eat tomatoes (amazing, huh?) and I hear they do great in this climate, so we thought it would be a great first veggie for our family to grow!


Jack loved picking up the plants and smelling them...it was too cute!

Interesting dirt....

Adding the final touch, water. We need to get Jack his own watering can!

Jack with Grandma & Grandpa K.

We had a great visit to Indiana! Jack and I spent a long weekend there while Ryan was away turkey hunting. We had a 6 hour delay at the Houston airport on our way there but we finally made it! Jack was such a good boy throughout the long wait at the airport. It was fun spending time with my parents, sisters, brother in laws and nieces and nephews. Jack loves playing with his cousins! Yesterday morning when he woke in his bed back at home he immediately asked for Grandma and Grandpa. It was so sweet! He really enjoyed his time with them.

March Ranch Weekend

Our little Rancher!

Jack loved giving Baylor hugs!

He also loved opening and closing gates! Now that we are home, he is closing (can't quite open them yet) all of our doors. =)

He LOVES windmills! He even makes a "windmill" sound...it is so cute!

He LOVES going on rides!



We had a great weekend at the Ranch. It is so much fun now that Jack can walk around and explore. All weekend he just wanted to be outside. He had a great time with his Grandma & Grandpa M and enjoyed all of the rides that they took him on! Enjoy the photos!

Jack loves his Daddy!

Jack loves his daddy so much! He had so much fun playing with him yesterday. He is not awake yet this morning, but I know that when he does, he is going to be so sad to find that daddy is at work. Sometimes he runs to the front door and cries "dada, dada" when he wants him. It is so precious!
