Squirt Guns

On Wednesday, I came home to find a package addressed to ME. Mom helped me open it up, and you would not believe what I found!

Aunt Candy and Aunt Becky sent out a package with EIGHT squirt guns. And about eight pounds of candy.

Pretty much the coolest package a boy can get.

The only problem was that since it was Wednesday (which happens to be called Wine Wednesday in our house), Daddy and Darren were feeling childish as well.

"Aw man! Grown ups?!?"

Lots of boys. Lots of squirt guns.

Daddy dodging a bullet...

Ryan covered my back while I loaded up.

This guy showed up, too. I think he's Squidward's little brother or something.

We're off to swimming lessons now, and later I get to go on a hike with Darren. Summer vacation is the best.

Love,

Swimming, Swimming...

I started my swimming lessons yesterday! It was so much fun that I went back again today...and will go pretty much every day for the next two weeks.

Yesterday, this was the best picture Mom took. As you can see, I'm way, way far away. See that little person with a white shirt on, right in front of the blue bin? That's me.

So, today Mom brought a better lens for the camera and took some pics of my lesson.

Here we are with the teacher. His name is John and he's pretty cool. He makes us laugh. I really like his orange sunglasses.

 Chatting with the cute girls...(the socializing just might be my favorite part of swimming lessons.)

Getting ready for a big jump!

He catches me every time!

Now here's a good trick I learned. I'm getting ready for it...

Back float!

I think we were hopping like bunnies here...

Getting ready for a front float...

Teacher John wraps us all up after the lesson is over.

Today, he told me I was a Jedi.

And look who came to cheer me on! 

More swimming tomorrow. I told Mom that I think I'll be ready to go off of the diving board by next week.

Love,
J

Whew...It's Friday?

Where'd this week go?

Monday we went to the beach with a bunch of friends

Tuesday, we did...something.

Wednesday, I played soccer in the morning, went to the park, then had a bunch of friends over for dinner (or whatever that pretend dinner is on "Wine Wednesday").

Thursday we went to the fair.

Too bad Mom didn't take a single picture of any of this stuff.

Oh yeah...Tuesday Mom and I went and saw Cars 2, played with my friend, and went out for dinner.

So today...we're just hanging out at home.


Too bad this weird guy keeps showing up.

He says his name is Squidward.

Have a great weekend!

Love,
J

And Now...

...who is THIS?

So many disguises around here!

Love,
J

Who am I?

Look Who's Here!

Finally!

I've been asking Mom every day for the last two weeks, "How many more days til Betsy gets here?"

Well, I got up this morning, and SHE IS HERE!

Even better, she has two cute little kitties that are here, too. Here's Simone....

...and her friend Pee Wee!

Rumor has it Betsy's brother is here somewhere, too...we've haven't been quite noisy enough this morning though, so he's still catching up on some sleep.

We're so, so happy she's here!!!

Love,
J

Boy Zone

In case you are ever at our house looking for us, chances are good that you'll find us in the "Boy Zone.'

We have all the good toys over there.

See?

Lots of dirt to be moved...

Luckily, this guy is a hard worker.

The supervisors are watching from their office.

 

If only my legs were a bit longer, I'd be able to pedal this thing by myself.

Something stinks over here...

...and it's this guy. He smells like a skunk. AGAIN.

Back to work.

Love,
R
