Trying to get Jake to smile is like...

Thanks to the lovely world of digital cameras, I am now able to capture way too many pictures in search of 'the one' -- but getting Jake to take a decent picture is just short of a miracle :)  Here are 4 frames of him trying to smile -- looking rather pained instead and then distracted...as usual :)  

 Cheeeese....

 CHHHeeeezzzzz

 oooh, what's that??

Ok, Mom...are we done?

Summer fun!

 Cass & Jake having fun in the "big kid" pool :)

Will enjoying water fun too!

 Peace * Love * Cassidy

 Bombs away!

Jake & Cassidy reading their "Everyday Daddy" book on Father's Day :)

Our adventure to the Fort Worth Nature Reserve on Father's Day, we were in search of Daddy's favorite animal, the buffalo.  Saddly we did not see any buffs...probably because of the heat!  

Observing the ground hog colony  -- they were "sooo cool" 

Happy traveler!

Jake has taken to sleeping in the floor next to his bed...hmmm, is this normal??

 Yummy jello pudding pops! :9

Yummy spaghetti... Will is using utensils pretty well these days but spaghetti dinner is always messy!

 Our walker! he is just getting so fast!

Peek-a-boo!
