The Wheels on the Bike...

Like a kid at the Carnival...

Papa loved the surprises at his birthday party- especially the cotton candy machine!

Papa's 65th Birthday Party

Papa doesn't turn 65 until Monday, but we celebrated this past weekend.

Not sure about the cotton candy...


Grandma and Taylor


Don't we look innocent?


Ice or beer?

Posing

Sesame Place

Rory really enjoyed Sesame Place. Can you tell who his favorite character is?

Giggles

Rory thought it was really funny when we jumped in the pool. He also liked "jumping" in and out!

In and out

Restaurant Entertaining

Happy Father's Day

Danny celebrated Father's Day with a lobster

Rory and Danny in their Father's Day complementary attire

Eating is exhausting!

What you talking about Mommy?

Sunset at Shelter Cove

Hilton Head, Pt 1

Rory liked his fish and fries almost as much as he likes saying cheese!

Our little Mr. Clean wanted to help with the skimmer...I suppose no one is surprised!

Hilton Head Pt. 2

Rory was at the beach...


Posing by his chair

Only our kid would need to clean the beach!

Posing in the pool with Daddy

Rory likes climbing in and out of the pool

Murfreesboro, Pt 1

Happy 5th Birthday Zach!

Cari (after a hot and humid day in the park- check out that hair!) with the boys. Too bad the boys love Elmo so much that they can't pose for the camera (except for Ian).

Murfreesboro, Pt 2

Now Zach and Ian are entranced by Elmo.

Extreme Rory giggles

Guess where Rory gets his posing from?

Iowa- Family Reunion

Rory and his Mommy went to Iowa for Memorial Day weekend. He met lots of family members at the Ward Family Reunion. We didn't get too many pictures as Rory was on the go the whole time. No time for pictures when you are busy swimming and at the playground.



Rory and Vince enjoyed playing together



A good shot of Samantha, Vince, Maya and Rory

Weekend Fun

We celebrated Connor's 6th birthday at Relics and Rarities in Decatur. Rory loved the choo-choo, playing in the truck, and eating lots of ice cream. After that he went and played with his friends Oliver, Annabelle, and Elliot. He also enjoyed a few hours at the zoo.

One scoop of ice cream, two spoons for Rory

I love the zoo!

Future Piano Men?

Piano Boys?

The not-so-secret boys' clubhouse is under the piano at Grandma and Papa's house.

Rory in the clubhouse


Darren in the clubhouse.


Darren is focusing on playing some tunes while Rory giggles.


This is a serious duet

I see you. No, I see you.

Mother's Day

Rory had fun playing with cousin Darren on Mother's Day. How cute are they?

What's so funny?

Here's looking at you, kid.

Rory has inherited the ability to make fish lips. Here's a picture of him doing it while cleaning at Grandma and Papa's house:

Take Me Out To The Ball Game...

Rory went to his first professional baseball game on Sunday. It was Bark in the Park, so people could bring their dogs to the game. Rory enjoyed most of the puppies, but wasn't so keen on sitting through the game.

Rory was too busy with his refreshments to pose with Mommy and Daddy

I see you puppy!

Rory was not too excited by the puppy kisses
