Mommy & Jack at Mountain Branch

Okay, I know. I know. No one is updating the blog anymore. Mary is too busy with Facebook, and, well, I'm just too busy. So the blog suffers.

I'll try to be better about it.

Cheeks!

Popsicles

In honor of America's birthday, we allowed Jack to taste a sugar-laden Firecracker popsicle for the first time this weekend. Needless to say, he really enjoyed it. Jack had a very nice 4th of July weekend. His Grandma Anna came up from Hilton Head to spend the weekend with us. He also got to spend lots of time with Grandma Susie, Auntie Kate, and Uncle Pat. Jack is very lucky to have so many wonderful people in his life!

Tampons are Fun!

Swimming lessons

Daddy and Jack had a great time at swimming lessons last week! Jack seems to be a natural swimmer. He loves kicking and splashing, and he doesn't even mind being dunked under water. We also discovered, at today's lesson, that swim diapers are really effective! We successfully avoided what could have been a very embarassing (not to mention disgusting) "fergie" in the pool situation!

Jack and his buddy Hannah had a fun time hanging out Memorial Day weekend...

"All Doubt Erased - He's Definitely a Buck"

Well, if there were any doubt that this child is the result of combining Mary and Jamie's DNA, consider it dispelled.

"I'm precious, see?"

Eat Carrots... Turn Into Screetcher Monkey!!

Madras and Mommy!

Jack's New "Look" for Spring

Well, to be fair, it's not so much a new "look," as a new expression. He gets this devilish, almost scheming, expression every once in a while, like he's thinking of doing something naughty, and I freaking love it. The new and normal looks are shown for comparison.

"Yes, I can pull off these shorts."

The Elusive "Suzequatch"

This video speaks for itself.

Jamie: "Eat your heart out Orvis!! Let Susie Buck show you how it's done!! (Keep in mind, this water is 46 degrees Fahrenheit!!)."

Susie: "Does this vest come with a hands-free system?"

Family Fly Fishing!

Susie and Jamie fly fishing the Gunpowder River on a perfect Spring day. Susie caught her first trout of the season using a difficult deep water "streamer" fly technique! Jamie almost caught several fish. The one that got away was, naturally, enormous.

Cute Close-Ups

I couldn't decide which one I liked most, so I posted them all.
