Visiting Cousins !!

Hi everybody, been a busy couple of weeks. My cousins are up from PA., TX. and Northbridge. So sorry I haven't been too good on keeping you all up to date.
This is my cousin Lizzie from PA
This is Lizzie with Ryan, if that kid keeps eating he's going to be bigger than me soon.

These are my two cousins from Northbridge, Cole and Blade. They look like two nice kids but don't be fooled.
Every time I tried to squirt one of them, they would take the hose away and squirt me.

I finally had enough so I went in to dry off with Ryan
Ryan was shocked at how wet I was.
It's been a long week and both Ryan and I are beat. See you next Friday.
Love Jack and Ryan

The Bumpus Hounds

I got to help Grandad take out the Bumpus hounds today.
They seem to have a mind of their own.
When I go one way they go the other.
That's enough dog walking, the tractor needs starting up.


See you all next week. Love Jack

Happy July Fourth

Happy Fourth of July everybody, even though I don't look too happy, I really am. I just had to look like this so I could go outside and play with the weedwacker.

This weekend we went north to New Hampshire. I got to cruise around in this cool little buggy.
And to start the week off we went to Purgatory, no not the place where Grandad is going when he dies, the place in Sutton with all the rocks. Ryan really enjoyed it there.
This is a picture of me and my cousins Esme and Diego, and the other people are my Dad, Great Papa, Manny, and Ryan
The last picture is of Great Aunt Susan, Chrissie, Manny. Diego, and Esme
Hope you all had a great Fourth.

Fishing/Bridal Shower

Now that the project is over, me and Grampy can concentrate on fishing. We had to go out far for the big ones.
Everything was good until Mom told me we had to go to a shower. I am like can't I stay here and fish with Grampy.
But no, so here I am at a wedding shower. oh boy, I bet the fish are really biting right now on the cape.
I played with the gnome for awhile until Blade and Cole showed up. Thank goodness.
Bulldozers are almost as much fun as fishing.
Motorcycles are definitely more fun.
Ok, back to the shower this is my second cousin Brittney and my aunt holding Ryan.
I wish I was fishing.
Love Jack

P.S. Oh yea, thanks for having me at your shower Heidi, I really had fun!!!
Good luck Heidi & Wayne!
That Brad Paisley song comes to mind right now.

I'm done working for the summer

Landscaping

Mom, Ryan and I stopped by to visit Grandad at work this week. I was put right to work.
We had to rake all the rocks out of the front yard.
" You missed that one."
After about ten minutes I had enough.
Its a good thing Great Uncle Mark had brought all his toys, because doing it by hand is just not for me.
Ryan and I finished up in no time with the tractor. Would have been even faster if Mom didn't keep getting in the way.
Ryan seemed to like it but he kept falling asleep, so I had to keep one hand on him at all times.
See you all next week.
Love Jack and Ryan

Zia returns

Mom started back to work this week. So Zia is in charge again (she thinks).
When she wasn't looking, I woke Ryan up from his nap and brought him out to watch Elmo with me.
It was kinda hard to wake him up. Do babies know how to fake sleep?
But I insisted he watch with me.


I told him to watch this part, it's my favorite.
You just can't watch cartoons with him. All he wants to do is goof around.
Stay tuned: Wait til next Friday when Grandad finds out Lauren is trying to convince me & Ryan to join the Young Democrats of America. I can almost hear him now, "No Obots in this family!"
See you next week
Love,
Jack & Ryan

Happy Memorial Day

What a perfect day for a parade. My second cousin Halley and I went downtown to watch the ceremonies today

We saw Great Papa riding in a sports car.
Ryan enjoyed the parade as well, not even the 21 gun salute could bother him.
And finally, my Great Aunt Ingrid sent a photo of her family. That's David in the middle, he serves in the Marines.
Ooh-rah
These are some of David's friends also serving in the military
Eligah and Alex

And this is my Great Great Grandfathers' brother Len's
grave site in France. His Spitfire was shot down during WW2

Here is a video to get you pumped up for the veterans.
Have a good week.
Love Jack

Hanging with Auntie Ashley

We went on a nature walk today.

We had to be very quiet, so we could sneak up on the wildlife.
It worked, look what we caught!
We saw turtles!
And birds!
Check out tomorrow for my memorial day blog.
Love Jack
