Name this duck.

Every time we go for a walk in Jester Park there is this one lone duck in a pond. There are several geese in this pond but only one duck. When we walk by, we quack...but he never seems to respond. This is the closest he has let us get to him, about 10 feet away.

Yay, I cut my two front top teeth!

Neil & Joni Memorial Day weekend.

Jack and Amber.

Amber is the wife of Braden, a co-worker of Neil's. We got to pretend camp for a day with the Nemechek's. We hung out at their campsite and ate BBQ without having to pitch a tent or shower in a public facility. It was great!

Jack thought that the rain hitting his feet was hilarious!

Jack and Michael.

Michael is one of the neighbors, Scott and Rose are his parents. Today the big guys went to get firewood so the boys got to play for a while. Jack enjoyed pushing and pulling Michael around in the walker.

Jack & Dad.

Jack's 1st hair cut.

We went where dad gets his hair cut, Signature Male. But no beer or cigar for Jack.

Jester Park Bison.

Once or twice a week I jog the trails at Jester Park with Jack. He loves it because he gets to play at the park at the end.

Jack driveing his truck.

This was after a really bad teething day. He was miserable with snot and droll constantly coming out of his nose and mouth. It looks like there are 4 teeth trying to poke through on the top. Poor guy!

Jack's 1st bike helmet.

For Jack's 1st birthday, we got him his 1st bike helmet. No, he won't be able to ride a bike yet, but now he will be able to go along in the bike trailer.

Jack, our little fisherman.

Jack did like the fried rice.

Fishing Okoboji.

This last weekend we made a trip to Jack's godfather's house in Okoboji. Jay was a wonderful host and has proved he will be an amazing father. (Jack did not catch any fish.)

Nap time.

Jack @ the Park.

Jack really enjoys going to the park. His favorite thing is the swings.

Captain Jack.

Yes, we finally got a boat! We took it out on Saylorville Lake for the 1st time today. Jack had a blast! Neil and I enjoyed eating lunch on the boat...that was until a small rain storm came by. I predict a fun summer is ahead of us.

Look mom, no hands.

Jacks new trick is running around with his sippy cup in his mouth, not useing his hands.

Jack in the bath.

Bridget and Ryan, thank you once again for these bath books. Jack loves them.
