Bad Parenting 101

The day after a pool party, Jack found an UNOPENED Bud Light still floating in the melted ice in a cooler. He's a quick learner and immediately knew what to do with it... "just like Mommy". Ha ha!

Wrong-end-up, but an "A" for effort there, Buddy!



We even caught him drinking and driving!!! He's a bad apple!


Letting out the appropriate belch after finishing.

In Memory of our Itchy Man



Today we said goodbye to our Itchy. He made the ripe old age of 18- which is something like 143 in human years... He was a great friend to Ryan since he was a boy, lived with Ryan and me for the last 7 years and has been a beloved kitty to Jack. We will miss his grumpy ways - slapping our ankles when he was ready for food - insisting on sleeping on your chest at night. Most of all we will miss the joy he brought to Jack each day. If you look back through the blog several of the videos of Jack laughing were at his kitty, Itchy. He was always eager to give his kitty hugs and Itchy was always willing to take a great amount of abuse from Jack. Thank you, Itchy, for the joy you brought to our little boy and to all of us. You will be greatly missed!

Cold but delicious!

Daddy's Little Helper

Jack is fascinated with the lawn mower. What an amazing power tool - it cuts grass - you push it - it's loud - what could be better??? Sooo Mommy found this super cool mower that makes the same sweet power sound but also blows bubbles. Stupid Mommy - you can't fool little boys....

Oh yeah, here I go mowing the lawn just like Daddy.

I'll help him out over on this side.

Weird - I must have missed a spot.

Something must be wrong - it won't cut the grass.


Dad - I need some help over here.


Its all in the way you push it buddy.

Let's race!


We'll try it together. (Don't worry - it's not really running)

What??? No blade??? That's the problem! Mom - what are you trying to pull over on me???









I'll take this into my own hands.

At least I can help with the sweeping.

Dang this handle is tall.


Thanks for all your hard work today Jack!

Prince Ali

Grammy and Grandaddy Rickster took a very long trip over to the Ukraine and Turkey. While doing some shopping they came across this.... Jack now thinks he is ruler of his palace!
He loves to put it on and walk around - it just won't stay on for very long dang it!!!
