Happy Jack

Jack is getting very vocal (and louder) by the day. At the moment, his vocabulary mostly consists of "Dada", "Yeah", "Hi" and something resembling "dog". And because he is fast and can get into everything, I use the pack and play as I gather all our stuff to head out the door in the morning. Here's some photos from the other morning before school. He's almost a year! Party photos to be posted after his birthday this weekend.

Fourth of July at the Hueys

We had a rain-soaked but fun July 4th at the Hueys. Greg's ribs were fabulous as always, and we ended the meal with Tiff's wonderful strawberry shortcake. (See Miles and Mollie -- and Morgan -- eating above). It was also Baby Roark's party debut - five months old already. Jack and Roark will be tearing it up together soon. :) It cleared up enough later for Miles to see the fireworks, which he was pretty excited about. Great day!

Go Lakers!

There was some serious betting going on (it started back in Bermuda) between Jesse (Lakers' fan) and Vin/Jen (Celtics' fans). Here's the photo Jesse sent Vin and Jenny after Game Seven. I hope they are still talking to us. :)

Lasagne Coated Jack

I'm not sure that this post needs much explanation. All I have to say is that I should be in a Tide commercial, because that shirt is now pretty clean. For those wondering how he got that way, let's just say I was away that week on business.

The Boys Meet Cousin Henry

Derek and Martina came down to visit for Memorial Day weekend and brought Henry -- Miles' and Jack's new cousin! Henry was about two months old in these photos. He's a sweet little boy and we're excited to watch him grow. In a few years, we'll hardly notice the age difference between Miles and Jack. It was hard to get a photo of Jack and Henry together, so I threw one of Jack by himself at the end. Jack's favorite thing to do is crawl around and steal sippy cups that Miles leaves laying around the house (and it drives Miles crazy). The hat is from Jesse's high school collection. Hopefully we will see them again later in the summer!

Bermuda!

After a hiatus of a few months, I am back and trying to catch up from the last several months. In May, we went to Bermuda for Ken and Emmy's wedding. It was gorgeous and just looking at the photos makes me want to go back. I didn't have my camera with me during the actual wedding, so I only have a few photos (Jesse took more). Here's a few photos of the boys in their suits before the wedding, Miles (ringbearer) taking a quick nap in between the ceremony and reception, and a few scenic shots of the pool and beach. It was a perfect vacation!

I'm Too Cool

So, according to Jesse, I broke the rules of blogging tonight by posting 10 different sets of photos at once, rather then spacing them out. I generally agree, but I was so far behind, I had to catch up. I pledge to be better for the last 8 months of 2010. Until then, I thought I would sign off with Miles...
