"Three Amigos"

Well we had a short visit with Aunt Marcy and the boys! We celebrated Will's birthday, which started with breakfast and continued throughout the day! Gabe especially liked wearing the Elmo hat! It is amazing how great these three get along and play well together! It is always sad when we have to leave but we will continue to try to get together on a monthly basis! Thanks Aunt Marcy for letting us invade your house, it was fun, sorry it was so short!!

True Love

"Mommy, Sophie is at my house!"

"Sophie practicing for her modeling career"

"Jack tickling Sophie!"

"Tubby Time!"

Jack and Sophie had a play date and honestly they did awesome! Jack loved sharing all of his toys and let Sophie play with whatever she wanted without getting upset so we have decided it must be true love! They are so darn cute together, just wished we lived closer together so we could see each other more often! Looking forward to our play date in the fall Sophie!

Happy Birthday Aunt "Mantha"

Aunt Mantha we hope you have a great birthday!!!

Love you!

Happy Birthday Great Grandma!

Happy Birthday Great Grandma!! We hope you have a wonderful day & love Jack's version of "Happy Bertday"!

Carnival

Before we left for our vacation to Cooperstown we went to the carnival with Luke, Aunt Marci and Aunt "Judy". Thank goodness Aunt "Judy" had the camera to snap some photos! Jack LOVES riding on the cars and thankfully Luke went on other rides with him. The boys had a ball as usual!

Horses & Fire Trucks

"Mommy, this is hard work feeding the horses!"

"Cousin Katie showing Jack the way"

A few weekends ago we went to visit Grandma & Grandpa and we even got to stay in the "school" bus as Jack called it (the RV). Oh what fun we had, between the petting, riding and feeding the horses and riding in the fire truck with Uncle D, playing with cousin Katie and seeing Grandpa sing at church, Jack was exhausted by the time we left and slept practically the whole way home!

Niagara Falls

"Bye Bye Cooperstown, see you in 10 years!"

Aunt "Judy" & Jack

"Mommy & Jack"

"Our Family"

On our way home from Cooperstown we went to Buffalo to see Niagara Falls, or as Jack calls it the "water park", pretty cool. Jack was not too interested in getting wet so we didn't do the boat trip, & Dan and I walked up while Aunt "Judy" stayed with Jack. What a fun vacation and trust me Jack is still talking about Cooperstown and of course wearing his "Andy hat".

Happy 4th of July

Fireworks from last night!

Our all american boy!

"Mommy, do you like my "firework" hat?"

Jack did awesome watching the fireworks last night and it very excited about today's party and fireworks this evening!

It's a Home Run

"Mommy, Andy hit a home run!!!!!!"

"Andy I can't wait for you to come see me play @ Cooperstown"

"Mommy, I am the catcher!"

Andy's shirt!

"I wanna be just like cousin Andy!"

It was very exciting that cousin Andy hit a home run at Cooperstown! We were all there to see it and Andy even got a shirt to prove his success! We are very PROUD of our cousin! Since we have been home, Jack is going through withdrawals for not seeing enough baseball. Every time I turn around he is practicing, either pitching, catching or batting! Jack you are a superstar just like your cousin Andy!!!

Baseball Hall of Fame

The picture says it all!

"Mommy, how tall am I?"

"Daddy, I need this for my room!"

One day on our vacation we went with Andy's team to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Of course Jack was running around looking for "Go Cubs" stuff and trust me there was plenty! I LOVE the fact that Jack is so into baseball, I just wish my Dad was here to see his grandson in action, he would get the biggest kick out of him and his love of the game!

More Baseball

"Coach Guncle, I am ready to play!"

Andy's Team

Watching some baseball with my Dad!

Cousin Andy coming off the field!

Well our next day we got to see cousin Andy play two games, they won their 1st game and loss the 2nd game! Jack was ready to get on the field and play ball. I was quite impressed with Jack and actually watching the game, of course we had to take some breaks and go out and play baseball ourselves. The other funny thing is Jack really listens to my brother (Guncle) about baseball things, how to hold the bat, how to be the "catcher", what the secret signs are for the type of pitch, when to steal a base, seriously it is like baseball is in Jack's blood!!

Can you say BASEBALL

"Opening Ceremony....before it started raining!"

"Our future hall of famer!"

"Mommy, can I really run the bases?"

"Mommy, can I stay with Andy and Guncle?"

Cousin Andy & Jack outside the barracks!

We are back safe and sound from our trip to Cooperstown NY and can I say Jack is even more obsessed with baseball now then before we left....how is that possible??? I have a feeling we might be back to Cooperstown in about 10 years seeing Jack play! Andy did awesome and he even hit a homerun and it was so exciting! Our 1st day we got to see where cousin Andy and Guncle got to sleep with the rest of the ball players, check out the baseball fields and attend opening ceremony, which included skydivers, what a show!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Grandma, we hope you had a wonderful day, we got to hear Jack sing this almost the whole way home from Buffalo! Looking forward to seeing you this weekend and celebrating!!

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to the BEST Daddy in the world! Can't wait to play with your new present! I love you!!!!!!! Jack
