Our Trip to Mandeville

I am sorry that I have been absent from the blog world. Jack and I decided at the last minute 2 Sundays ago to head to Mandeville for the week to visit family and friends. We had a great time! We stayed busy the whole time. Jack is now 10 1/2 months(I can't believe it:)). As you can see in this picture Jack is now pulling up on everything. Gigi's house was not Jack-proof and he quickly figured that out. Thank you Gigi for letting Jack redecorate your house.
My Grandmother and Jack's Great-Grandmother was in town fishing for the weekend with Mom, Doug, Tracy, and Alan, so she stayed an extra day to see Jack and I. We had a great time with her! Jack was not much in the mood to smile as you can see.
Jack got in the pool for the first time while we were there. My best friends from home Kyli, Emily, Lindsay, and Cara got all of the kids together at the pool on Wednesday. They range in age from 10 months-4 so it was very interesting and alot of fun. Jack loved the water. He wasn't sure of it at first because it was not warm like his usual bath water. Poor thing, his lips chattered for about 10 minutes before he finally got used to it and decided that he liked it.
This is Kyli's yougest Sophia (2) trying to feed Jack.
This is a picture of all of the little ones. We tryed forever to get them to look at the camera at the same time and we never succeded. At least we got a picture. From left: Owen(3 1/2), Anna Claire(4), Sophia(2), Jack, Jane(1 1/2).
I hope that everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day!!!

Our Little Dishwasher

Last night Jack decided that he wanted to help Daddy load the dishwasher. These days he wants to help you do everything:) He had a blast and it was definitely the highlight of his day and better than any of the 100 toys that he has in his toy basket.
Poor Bella wants attention. She gets really jealous by the end of the day!
Jack took a second to pose for the camera. He is such a Ham.
He was trying to unload as Daddy loaded.

I hope that everyone is having a great week and can't wait to see my wonderful friends at home over Memorial Day!!!

Love,
Ashley

Long overdue post......

I am sorry that I have not posted in a week. I guess we haven't done anything too exciting. This weekend was nice. We had dinner with Sena and Robby Friday night and then went to our friends John and Emily's wedding Saturday night. My 1st Mother's Day was great! Brandon gave me money and let me take the afternoon and shop. It was wonderful. He took Me and his Mother out to dinner last night. I have the best husband!! Jack is crawling everywhere. I feel like I say NO all day long because he is into everything. The other day I turned my back to get a drink out of the fridge and he had turned over Bailey's water bowl and was splashing in the water that was all over the kitchen floor. On the same day I caught him trying to eat the rocks out of the bottom of the fireplace. The fun has finally begun!! He is cutting 4 teeth right now, so he has been pretty cranky. I hope that everyone is doing well and has a great week!

Jack's 1st Playdate

Jack had his first playdate yesterday with Isabella and Ian. We started a Kindermusic class about a month ago and have made some wonderful friends. Ian is only 3 days younger than Jack and his Mom Lacey is great friends with our friend Erin Martin that lives in Destin. Small World:) Isabella is 1 month older than Jack and Ian. She is precious and a tough one. She has been walking for about a month now and kept trying to ride on the boys backs. It was very entertaining. Next week we are going to take them to the zoo. They should have a blast.
I just couldn't resist posting this picture. I wish he would have been happier. It was really windy in the shade and Jack's hair was uncontrollable. He was not very happy about it as you can see. I think I am going to have to get it cut again.


Gigi will be here tonight and we are very excited. We have no big plans during the day this weekend because it is supposed to rain all weekend. Have a great weekend!

Love,
Ashley
