82 Reasons Memorial Day was a Blast!

All inside jokes aside, camping this weekend was a hit, both for Jake and us! We camped next to some friends, and had a lot of day visitors as well. The weekend involved many activities, most important though was the frog pool and baby doll washer throwing. Lipstick enjoyed every minute of it Vera! By the way how many pancakes DOES it take to cover a doghouse?


Too bad your cheating didn't work Russ...

Discussing the importance of throwing the washers correctly. Josh is needing a minute to "think" things over.

Pattern that is forming with Uncle Jeremy! Jake loves falling asleep in your arms-you make him feel safe and sound!

Vera giving us a smile with Lipstick. You are still in trouble for leaving her by the way!

Vera and Addie with Lipstick #2.

This is Vera's sick joke on Jake. He doesn't know that he can't eat the baby doll.

Lipstick is a good luck charm when it comes to playing washers. Too bad you didn't have her when team Jess/Christa had the comeback of the weekend!

Playing on Mommy and Daddy's bed.

Froggy overload-Vera is so proud. Not only are we swimming in a frog, we are eating one too. Sarah makes a great swim buddy!

Giving Christa some love!

Getting ready to camp!

A Good Patient
Josh has had what we say as some "hip" problems. This has taken the family to Temple several times lately to visit specialists. On our last visit Jake decided he wanted to be the patient, mainly because playing with the paper on the examining table was so incredibly fun! Jake entertained us both, as we had to wait to see the doctor for a long time this visit. We love you Daddy, and are very sorry about your news. A man is never better looking than when he has a "hitch in his get along"! We are there for you no matter what!!!

Mayborn and The Rollo
Fun, fun day for all! Definitely busy one anyways. Jake and I met some friends at the Mayborn for an afternoon tour. Josh took a couple hours off work to meet us as well. We walked around and took in all the museum had to offer. Afterwards we went home for a nap and then back out again to eat some pizza. A long day, but a fun one. The rain didn't even slow us down.

Some turtle action!

Jake and I attempting to do a weather report even though we were not in the right spot. The Atlantic Ocean had a lot going on! Whoops!

Tornado action.

Fire truck ride with Sarah.

Playing house.

This picture would have been a lot funnier if he hadn't stuck his hand out!

Once again-tuckered out. There is a constant theme going on with how tired we get at the end of our trips! We play hard!

Stylin' for my outing today.

Mommy just can't get enough pictures!

The Rollo- Just in case you can't see, Jake's shirt says PERFECT (just like my dad). I found it at Baby Gap, and just couldn't resist. It helps to stroke both of their egos. Something I will regret later!

I love my Uncle Jeremy-thanks for all the cool stuff!

Celebrating Being a Mom
Josh and I are blessed to have our son Jake! He is truly a gift to us, and today I got to celebrate my first Mother's Day. It was special to have him right by my side. The weekend involved a trip to McKinney to be with my Mom. I received a yearly pass to the Mayborn Museum, M&M's, and 2 dozen roses from Jake. Josh gave me a Mommy and Me musical baby class at Baylor. Both gifts were great ideas, and I look forward to the time I will spend with Jake doing them. Happy Mother's Day to Gabby, Mimi, Nana, Nanny, Grandma Abbott, Grandma McCormick, and our precious Aunt Libby!

Our visit with Nana.

Four generations.

Watching Grandpa cook lunch, some yummy chicken. It was really cool to see his big grill!

Reading with Gabby, some eating the book with Gabby also.

Pizza with Gampers
Last Wednesday I took Jake to visit his Gampers in Clifton. We ate pizza, looked all around the shop, and jumped on Mimi's car :) Jake's favorite task was trying to eat Gampers desk drawer.

Yankee for a Day!
Thanks to our new Long Island friends, Jake has received his first ball cap. He wore it proudly, even though he was given a hard time at the voting polls on Saturday by our local Texas boys! Thank you Cindy and Craig. He looked too cute in it, but Dad said he better not make it a habit!

Stylin' Chapter Two
Every once in awhile I have to show off cute "outfits" Jake has on. I am sure I won't get away with this for very long, so I will take advantage while I can!
Naked is always my best look, and my favorite!!!!!!!
