The kiddies miss their Auntie and Uncle!!!!

Jack's new trick....we are greeted each morning by a standing,
smiley Jack man!


Oh, yes the sword! The boy really can't go anywhere without one!
And here is our version of the "silent tantrum".....can anyone guess which one might be tantruming under the blanket?!?!?! He will really get along so well with Miss Alayna pants ;)
And here is the cause of the spaz attack!

The kiddies are very much missing their Auntie Kari and Uncle Jeremy! Abby gives a great big sigh each morning when I still can't tell her how many sleeps until we go to the airport :( Hurry home!!!!!!!!


Tino misses his mommy and daddy!!!

Tino man chillin' with Uncle Stevie....
This is Tino new favorite spot....he literally lays here for hours staring into the neighbor's yard scouting out rabbits....He is obsessed with them!!!! He occassionally pops his head in the house to make sure we are all still there :)
Oh, big stretchie after watching his little furry friends!
Tino (again watching his rabbit buddies) and Abby
Although Tino is having a blast here, I think he is missing his mommy and daddy ;) He is going to be so excited to see you guys!!!! Can't wait...hurry home!

Just for fun!

Our new niece and cousin...Isabella Nancy...born on July 9th!!! She has a perfect little face and is as cute as pie :)
Abby playing T-ball....she spends LOTS of time waving to her fans!
Jack practicing for his birthday!


Our house guest :)

The Tino Man has learned so many new things while staying with us...and we are so sure that Uncle Jeremy will be excited about ALL of the them ;)
DISCLAIMER: We are not responsible for any bad habits that Tino learns while here!!!!1. He is in love with the kids, but we already new that! He loves to give Jack kisses and Jack likes to crawl on Tino.
2. Tino ALWAYS sleeps with Abby and makes sure that he has his side of the bed. Move over, Kari and Jer and make some room ;)
3. Probably my favorite....he has learned to lick all of the dirty dishes just like the big dog of the house.
(Don't be jealous, but this was his first taste of HoHo Cake!!!!)
4. This morning was his first walk with Abby :)
5. He loves to bark while chasing the neighbor dogs up and down the fence line...I know, I know, we tell him to stop, but he loves this game so much!
6. Tino knows exactly when Jack is eating because he now knows fun treats fall from the sky!
7. Pot holes are prevalent all over the yard and in the sandbox....loves this game too!
8. He immediately drops things when Alex uses his "dog command" voice.
9. He only eats Jack scraps and Bo's food.

BUT I AM PROUD TO SAY.....DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!

He does NOT drink out of the toilet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright, Kari and Jer, we miss you a ton and so does the Tino Man. We are all praying you will come home safe and sound, sooner than later! Can't wait to introduce Mr. Tino to his new sister :)
