Ketch-Up

What did the daddy tomato say to the baby tomato when it started lagging behind? Ketchup son!
OK, so I am pretty behind in blogging so here is a quick post to catch you up on (most of) what has been going on around here.
First of all, Father's Day was celebrated! Jack and I took Jay out for a wonderful breakfast and Jack was very well behaved. He flirted with everyone that walked past us and even had several people stopping by our table to tell him how adorable he was. Jay was already a very proud dad, but that made him even prouder.
Jay is a fantastic father, I couldn't ask for a better one! Jack is a very lucky little man to have such a wonderful daddy!

A week or so later, my Aunt Cathi and my cousin Bevin came to the cities for a girls' weekend. Jack and I met them at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, I hate to admit this, but in my 11 years of living here, this was my first time there!

We had a wonderful time catching up and Jack enjoyed being in the backpack.

But, he enjoyed running around the park with Bevin even more!

My sister Holly came to visit my parents with her two kids, so Jack and I came and visited all of them in SD.

Jack loved having Cale pull him around in the wagon!

During Holly and the kids' last visit, Nana and Papa bought the kids ducks! Well, they are down to one duck, but boy oh boy, it has grown! It has also become much faster, but that did not stop Ellie from catching the duck and carrying it around!

For the 4th of July, my sister Missi came to visit. Missi, Jack and I went to the Farmer's Market. It was Jack's first trip there this year. He enjoyed all the sights, sounds and smells, but most of all, he enjoyed the Mini Doughnuts! Poor Missi, she had Jack on her back in the hiking backpack while he was eating those, so she went the rest of the morning with sugar all down her back!

Last weekend, we went to Jay's family to celebrate his father's 60th birthday! It was wonderful to see so much of Jay's family all at once! Jack enjoyed running around the farm and chasing the cats and dogs.
