Hosty, kazoos. Jack and Ira.

Jack's 2nd Birthday (Jan 14). I know I am behind, sorry.

SEPTEMBER 2008:
Our first trip to the OKC Zoo!

Canada. Jack's first lobster.

Point Prim, Prince Edward Island
Here is the house that my dad bought in Canada. We were visitors for a week and it was beautiful. Although it was July, it was pretty chilly. We did some clamming on the beach right in front of their house.

July 2008
Trip to Canada: MONTREAL.
We were lucky enough to spend our 3rd wedding anniversary in Montreal on Canada Day. We were also very lucky to meet up with Arne Sideco, a friend from college who lives in Montreal (he is Jamie Chioco's cousin!). The Montreal Jazz festival was happening right around the corner from our hotel. We missed Stevie Wonder because our plane was landing as he was going on stage. I originally posted these pictures on my Flickr page and my photo of the ship from Old Port was used by Schmap! Here is the link to my photo (too lazy to make a cool clickable link):

I have been catching a lot of slack for my lack of posting on this blog. Here is my attempt to catch up. Here are some photos from June 2008 when my second cousin Reagan came to stay with us for a week. She lives in Kansas City and she is a Longhorns fan (?). I made her and Dylan, my nephew, pose in front of an OU store because I think she might want to go to OU after I gave her a nice tour. She was impressed with the campus and she is an avid softball player. I think she will get a scholarship to play softball for OU!

I made homemade finger paints for Jack to squish his fingers in. That boy loves to make a mess!!! Don't worry, the paint is flour, water and food coloring. Totally safe to eat, but not really tasty.

Our friends Chris and Katie from Austin came up to visit and met Jack. Jack also got to meet their dog Roscoe. He licked I mean liked Jack a lot!

Spaghetti mover.

After Jack's messy spaghetti dinner we had to take a bath.

OK, maybe this one is good too...

Favorite walking video!

Jack is 15 months old today.

My 40th birthday. I told Jeff I didn't want a cake and he got me one anyways! Jeff totally made my birthday. What a man.

Ira at my birthday party. It was nice to see all of the babies and toddlers hanging out. Congratulations to Suzy and Wampus for their baby to be born on Simon LeBon's birthday (October 27)

Sister Sarah surprised me on my birthday weekend. Visiting from London. No accent yet, but I can't wait until her sentences end in an upward manner just like Madonna.

Easter basket! Grandma Verna always comes through with the goods!


The Medieval Fair. Jack saw horses for the first time and we ran into baby Daltrey and Daddy Andy. Did I ever show you the documentary that Andy did on my roller derby team? Here's the link:

...and about 3 minutes, 50 seconds into it you will hear "You Race" by Jeff's band, Locust Avenue. Lovely piece of music!!!

Jack is walking!

Jack met Carol for the first time.

Jack also met Millicent Foll today.

Milly and Jilly

I made Jack a hat.

Jack and his friend Jaden from Tulsa. Jaden is only 3 weeks older than Jack.

Another birthday party!

Jack and Sophie Guererro from Christmas time.

Jack and Jaden get in a loud baby contest!
