Jack's Bday part 2

Jack had a wonderful birthday. Thank you to everyone who could attend, it made the day extra special!

Jack's Bday Party - part one

So, we had Jack's birthday party at the Show Low city park. Let me tell you, I know how to throw a party! The radio station was even there and set up a tent!

Jack had two cakes, this smaller one was for him, and him only....

This is the bigger of the two cakes...aren't they cute?

Jack playing around his presents....this was before he became cranky

Thank you Kenna for taking these pictures...This was my sad attempt to make the pavilion festive!

Here's the radio peep's and their tent again

The DJ

OK, I cannot tell a lie. The radio people were not there for our party. It turned out there was going to be a republican rally after our party, and they were getting set up. They were super nice. Mark even got to meet one of the state's senators....I got a cute t-shirt with an elephant on it! They had loud speakers, entertainment, the whole nine yards. If Jack hadn't of been so cranky, we might have stayed longer.

Kenna's field trip

Kenna had a field trip today. She and her class went to Snowflake AZ for a corn maize (ha ha get it?) and pumpkin patch. It was an absolutely fantastic day. The two things didn't really set well with me, Snowflake and corn field, but I made it out alive, and to my knowledge, I was not abducted by aliens....at least that I know of.

I'm sure you've all seen that movie, Fire in the Sky? It was based on a true story, and the guy that it was about lives in Snowflake, and lived in Snowflake when it happened....scary!

This is how the field trip began. We arrived to the farm where the corn maze was located, and Kenna's bus pulled in, hit a pole or something and the air came rushing out of the tire. I saw the whole thing, and was very embarrassed for the driver. When they parked, I noticed they had bent the rim of the tire too....oops! This is Kenna, Adriana and Michaela.

This wasn't your everyday corn maze. The kids had to answer questions while going through the maze. If they answered correctly, they were led the correct way through the maze. This is not Kenna's teacher, there was a sub today. Mrs. Comers, if you are reading this, you missed out!

After the festivities at the maze, we went to the city park for some lunch. Jack escaped from his stroller, and walked around for awhile. He mainly chased his sister around while she played.

Jack ventured off into a sea of third graders. He watched them run back and forth, back and forth. I don't think he could quite figure out what on earth they were doing.

The girls' pumpkins they picked out. Kenna had picked an awesome pumpkin, made me carry the darn thing, then half-way back through the field, traded it for a small one. Grrrr

Fool Hollow Lake

The family took a little outing to Fool Hollow Lake to view the scenery and play for an afternoon. It is a state park about five minutes from Show Low, and offers beauty and camping! (My favorite!!!)

I love this shirt, need I say more?

Gammy, Baba and Kenna walked down to the lake area to see what there was to see.

Jack on his first slide with his Daddy. Check out the gut on that kid!

Mark thought Jack might like the monkey bars. He was not at all interested.

Jack in his new umbrella stroller. About five minutes after this picture was taken, the front right wheel broke off. Mark blames me, but I blame him for running on the rocks with the stroller.

On the walk down from the lake, they found a lizard to watch.

Gammy and Baba's visit

Mark's parents came into town to celebrate Jack's first birthday with us. It has been awesome having them here, and I couldn't be happier they were able to watch him turn one!
