Drew and Jack: May 2010

Jack is 15 months old!

Jack is 15 months old today - seems like yesterday we were celebrating his 1st birthday! He is totally on the move and is officially into EVERYTHING! He is a smart little guy and can point to his belly, his toes, and his hair. :) He points to everything but we still don't have any words yet - at least none that we can make out. He will point and say, "Dat!" And we hear "uh-oh" a lot! He loves trying to keep up with big brother. His favorite thing to do is get a book and back up until he lands in your lap so you can read to him. So funny! He love running around outside pushing his trucks and going down the slide. He is getting to be such a big boy!

Reading his books!

We've got another outdoor-lover on our hands!

Playing at Zona Rosa!

Handsome boy!

Eating his mashed potatoes with a spoon all by himself! He gave up after awhile and started using his hands!

He backed up until he landed in Drew's lap!

Loves splashing around in the water!

Climbed right into the new sand table before we put sand in it!

Our first nephew and cousin!!

Sam Ryan Spotts was born on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 at 5:40 p.m. He weighed 6 lbs 9 oz and was 20 inches long. Aunt Jen and Uncle Brian are soooo excited to finally have a little nephew! And Drew and Jack can't wait to play with their new cousin. Drew and I got to be at the hospital when he was born, and we saw him right afterwards. He is soooo tiny and just perfect!!! It is just crazy to see my little brother as a Daddy!

Here is Ryan with Sam right after he was born - the let him walk down the hall from the c-section room holding him!!!

Olympic Day / Last Day of Preschool

Tuesday was Drew's last day of preschool and their "Olympic Day". I took the day off to help and got to spend the morning with him at school! He had lots of fun at the stations with his friends! I can't believe that his first year of preschool is over and soon he will be in Pre-K!!

One of our favorite activities is open again for the summer - the miniature train at Line Creek! We went out for a few rides last weekend - Drew loved it but Jack wasn't quite sure what to think!

Ringing the old steam engine bell

Mother's Day / Trip to the Farm

We went out to the farm to visit Brian's family over Mother's Day weekend. It was cold but the boys still had lots of fun! Drew got to help Grandpa feed the cows every day and also ride in the tractor and help him plant corn. He worked hard!!

Here is Drew watching Grandma bottle feed the little calf that lost its mother.

All 4 of us riding in the truck with Melvern out in the field to feed the cows. We were literally just driving through the cows! Hopefully they got out of the way!

Visiting "Lucy Baby" at Great Grandma and Grandpa Ochs and Shirley's house - this is the little kitten that followed Drew around the farm last November - she's gotten big!
