Jack & Lucy

Jack made quite the mess at dinner tonight, so we decided to have some pool time before bath time. He & Lucy made up a game where she dropped her frisbee in his pool & he threw it out. Jack thought this was hilarious! After that he was mimicking Lucy by rubbing his face on the grass, rolling around, trying to drink out of the pool, etc.

Playing Hard to Get

Behold: Pictures of Jack & Lucy playing chase. This was his Valentine's outfit. :)

Family Fun at The Ranch

This weekend the whole family (minus Matt who had to work - missed you, Man!) loaded up & headed out to the"The Ranch" in Ben Wheeler, TX. The Ranch is 400 something acres in the middle of nowhere which makes for a peaceful place to run away to! I love the feeling of driving away from the city - it's like the stress just melts right off. We had a great time talking, hanging out, walking around, looking at animal tracks, playing with Lucy, watching the deer walk through at sunset, watching the stars with assistance from the pocket universe app (I'd forgotten there were so many stars out there - it was beautiful), playing Mexican Train Dominoes (Dad won first place, John 'won' last place), reading, laughing, eating amazing food (thanks, Mom!), being silly, and just enjoying time together. It was awesome. I put most of the pics on Facebook, so I'll just include a quick video here! Lucy got the chance to be a country dog & spent all her time running around & getting people to throw her ball...until she dropped it off the dock into the lake. oops. At least we all know what she's getting for Christmas now...
