Oh how time flies......

...when you're never at home! Mommy has several legitimate reasons for taking so long to post an update. First, she spent the beginning of last week in KC with Grandma and Erin...that's right, no Jacer. He stayed at home (happily so) with Daddy and Ozzy. Mommy returned home late Tuesday night only to turn around and (with Jace in tow this time) head down to Grandma and Grandpa's for some more quality time. Mommy and Jace didn't return until yesterday afternoon with just enough time to make some deviled eggs for the BBQ they attended and then hit the fireworks. Whew! There is no rest for the weary however, as Grandpa Steve comes to town tomorrow, followed by a weekend at Nana's to visit with Aunt Alisa, Mavi, and Keenan!
As you may guess, with so much activity going on, Mommy has been her usual camera happy self...and she has pictures to prove it! Read on.

Last weekend (like before Mommy ever even went to KC) Jace's town had it's annual festival complete with a swimming pool full of bubbles. Mommy is still unsure as to why Jace is the only kid reluctant to get in the real pool but is the 1st kid to try and jump in the bubble pool.



What kind of festival would it be without a parade...with SUCKERS!!



When you are as busy as Jace, you always must find time for some good eats. With a silly boy to make you laugh.



Checking out the water and rocks by the river.



Having a picnic with Grandma.



Giving or getting (???) a big smooch from Chuck.



There is nothing like totally annoying ANOTHER (after Oz and Reggie) dog. Poor Chuck.



Jace being a rebel and going down the curly slide. There was some 6-7 year old girl there cheering him on. In the end, he was going down on his back. It's good to know that all it takes is a little peer pressure to talk Jace into something.



Jace lovin' teeter tottering with Tracy.



Jace was ready to go to the BBQ a little early last night and proceeded to come to Mommy wearing his winter hat and a vest and proclaimed, "I'm leaving"!



Fireworks!!


Yes, Elmo loved them....in case you were wondering.
