What a Man, What a Man, What a Mighty Good Man!

The title of this blog refers to our weekend as a whole. It applies to both Jace's behavior on our trip to Grandma and Grandpa's and to Mommy's small, but nice, sort-of class reunion (music lyrics from the 90's). Jace was a stellar sleeper (both at bedtime and at naptime) and was a pleasure to be around for nearly 100% of our trip. He was able to eat at Grandma and Grandpa's restaurant multiple times and enjoy a variety of foods and pies (Mommy counted cherry pie as his fruit for the day). Jace was also able to go swimming in the FM pool with Mommy and Aunt Kay where he proceeded to pick up a 5-year-old girl (which seems to be becoming a little bit of a habit). He was able to hang out in Aunt Kay's backyard and play with the puppies (Kona, Lilly, and Marley). He even was able to finagle some new hot wheel cars out of Fabulous Uncle Doug! Jace also got to attend a picnic with most of the Auge clan--which included going down a double slide with Grandpa!! Of course Aunt Erin and Tom Thomas were in town so Jace was in heaven hanging with them. Saturday night Grandma F. and Jace had some bonding time while Mommy was out with her classmates. So Mommy could go on and on but she will get down to what you are all really here for....the pictures. Most are from the past week at Grandma and Grandpa's but she threw in a few 'bonus' shots from Chuck E. Cheese last Tuesday. Lucky you!

Reading with Tom

Ahhhh...this is the life. Relaxin' at Fabulous Aunt Kays.

Riding with Davion at Chuck E. Cheese

This may be how Jace made it through the week with such good sleeping habits....he is in love with his Elmo doll--if you couldn't guess.

Jace's first attempt at corn on the cob. He couldn't understand why he couldn't eat the green things on the end and was actually quite stubborn about wanting to bite them. Finally he gave in and ate it like a big boy.

Jace's favorite ride at Chuck E. Cheese---he rode it probably 5 times in a row. When it would stop he would tap the coin slot for Mommy to put in another token.

Reading Thomas--as usual. Jace is infatuated with "choo choo's" (a.k.a. Thomas) right now.

While we were relaxin' in Fabulous Aunt Kay's backyard, Kona had a bit of an accident as he fell into the fish pond!

Playing at the park with Grandpa.

Playing tug of war with Kona. Jace would grab a toy and say 'get get' (get it, get it) and throw it for Kona and Reggie. Unfortunately for them he doesn't have the best aim and many time it was a point blank shot right at their faces. Luckily they are very understanding dogs and didn't mind a bit.
