Outside Fun!

Leo had a great time outside by the river this weekend. It was his first time having dinner by the campfire! I was really sad because I forgot my camera. Rachell was kind enough to share some of her pictures!

Big Bite!

Love,

Jenny and Leo

Picture Perfect

Saturday we went to Fort Wayne to my cousin Ashlee's Purdue Graduation Party. GO BOILERS! It was nice to see the family that was there. My cousins John and Jenny were there. It is always good to see them. I miss them and the rest of the Fort Wayne family. Doug and Michelle and my nieces were there also which really made my day! I have got to share the latest installment of the "Trying to Get Kids to take a Group Picture" album. HILARIOUS. I laugh everytime I see these pictures. My youngest niece, Ella Claire is just priceless. Grace is poised and perfect as usual. Paige is just doing whatever her mom says so she can get the stupid picture over with and she can continue to chase birds. They are so wonderful. I really enjoy the time we get to spend together.

The last picture is actually the "best" one. My preference, and the one that is totally getting framed, is the third group picture. It is priceless.

Have a great day!

Love,

Jenny and Leo

Playing in the Dirt

Leo had fun planting flowers on Memorial Day! Grandpa Doug had grown all different kinds of flowers in his basement this winter and they were finally ready to plant. We are hoping that the frost is over, but we are in Indiana so we should probably keep our fingers crossed!

He would have stayed there all day if we would have let him!

He is such a good helper!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day weekend!

Love,

Jenny and Leo

What a tease!

Leo has become obsessed with Charlie's collar and leash. Poor Charlie! She gets so excited thinking it is time to go for a w-a-l-k. Yesterday Leo and Charlie were chasing each other around the house, and then outside. It was too funny!

Charlie thought maybe if she gave Leo a big kiss he would take her outside.

My two guys. Aren't they cute?

Have a great day,

Jenny and Leo

Yes, those are boxer briefs.

Have a fantastic day!

Jenny and Leo

This has nothing to do with Leo, but it's still pretty cool.

Former President Clinton was in Plymouth over the weekend to campaign for his wife. Jeremy and I were lucky enough to get VIP passes for the event. We got to sit in the front row and "meet" the President after his speech. Pretty cool stuff.

Ella & Zak's Birthday Party

We went to Indy this weekend for Ella (4) and Zak's (1) combined birthday party! It was so much fun. We all enjoyed ourselves and Leo had fun playing with his cousins. We also decided we need some sort of swing at our house this summer! He giggled the entire time he was swinging!

The Birthday Boy!

Zak devoured his 1st Birthday cake!
About half way through Zak's cake, Leo noticed what was going on. He made his way up to the front of the crowd to Zak's high chair. He was trying to pull himself up there because he wanted some cake too! He didn't realize that Zak had patiently watched him eat his birthday cake only a few weeks ago!

This was so funny!
Do not feel too bad for Leo, he did get to enjoy
some of his cousins birthday cake!







Ella didn't have her cake at this party. She is having a birthday blow-out next weekend with her friends at the Bounce Zone. She just had presents at this party and to a 4 year old, that's pretty important!

We tried to get a good shot of all the kids together. Once again, it proved to be next to impossible. Ella really tried to step up and get it done though.

She tried to make her little brother look at the camera. She thought if she just moved his head we could get a good picture! She is so funny!






















I guess she did it!

Leo had a great time playing with Ella's doll
house. Or as Jeremy would call it, a Fort.

Have a fantastic week!

A Whole New Ballgame

Someone is walking!

Leo had taken a few steps last week from one toy to a table, toy or person. He took 4 steps at Jayne's last Friday. Then the weekend came and Jeremy and I worked with him just a little bit and he took off! He can now walk the entire length of a room. He loves it and is so proud of himself-as he should be, of course. I know he is going to be running around very soon. I love it, I think it is the greatest. I have been looking forward to the times where we can hold his hand and he walks beside us. He can totally do that now. He could walk all day beside us. It is his balance that needs a bit of work. He is improving every day though!

A walking video will be posted soon, I promise!

Our friends Missy and Dave have a daughter named Elizabeth who is 5 days younger than Leo. They came over to our house on Sunday for a playdate. The kids love each other and had a blast playing together. Elizabeth sat on Leo's rockin' puppy and Leo pushed her around the whole house.

Isn't she gorgeous?

They are so cute!

Have a great day!

Love,

Jenny and Leo

Party Time!

My good friend Spring was in town for her bridal shower this weekend! I used to live with Spring in Vancouver, Washington for two years and we have been friends since I moved to Plymouth in Jr. High. She will be getting married in Portland, Oregon in August and we will be attending.

Leo and Spring

It is always fun getting together with my friends, and Leo loves to play with all his friends! In the above picture: Leo & his lovely Mama, Julie & Vaughn, Spring, Lisa, & Jet, Rachell & Lucy.


Leo loved the fact that there were toys all over to play with and so did I!


Leo and Vaughn are buddies!


Leo and Lucy, Tug-of-War!





Jet is wondering what the heck Leo is doing! Jet is adorable!

Have a wonderful week!

Love,

Jenny and Leo
