This last weekend we went up to Maine to visit family up there for a little bit. I wanted to show you the cutest little boy I know who graced our back seat with his adorable-ness. Thanks baby J!
And I didn't realize it, but in order to be part of the T family, you have to be able to do amazing things on a wake board. So umm, I am not up to 'amazing things' yet. But hey, all these guys do! here is an amazing shot of Grampa doing a 360 on his board. Wowzers!
Here is uncle Aaron who is a natural on the board!
And Ty here is doing a jump, caught in the beginning of the jump, he can really get some air!
Uncle Tanner here is a jack of all trades, he can do pretty much anything on the back of a boat.
We make sure Jazz gets his naps in where ever we are, it just makes bed time so much easier. So we made him a little nest out of towels on the boat. He loved it, probably. At least it was comfy enough to sleep in!
Here are uncles Aaron and Tanner flying along on the tube. I have to say I think these guys are hilarious. As the older brother Tanner likes to make Aaron's life difficult as all older brothers do to their younger brothers. But, when Aaron was sliding off the tube Tanner would grab onto his life jacket and hoist him back up. With this family you always know your brother is looking out for you. Which I love. What great examples! Jazz, I hope you are paying attention for the some far distant future when you have siblings!
Here are aunt Whitney and uncle Ryan! Lucky for us they are having a baby so Jazz can have a cousin! Wasn't that thoughtful of them? Jazz's cousin will be born in November and we are super excited! W already has all these adorable little outfits for her little baby girl! She is going to be a little fashionista! Tanner hopes she will be blonde so he can call her Rapunzel from the move Tangled. He loves that show, and has high hopes for this baby. May your hair be long and magical little one!
Whit is amazing for a pregnant lady! I never went tubing when I was pregnant! What a brave soul!
Since Whit was brave enough to go out on the tube, we decided to see how much Jazz would like it, but, it was a little too bumpy, and since each of us had one hand on the tube and one hand on Jazz the waves were just a little too bumpy to feel safe. Jazz was clutching my hand the whole time. Love that guy!
Even though he is a little too small for the tube (next year little buddy) he LOVED to splash in the water! Ty would just hold on to Jazz's life jacket and Jazz would go crazy splashing and laughing and kicking his little fat legs. What a fun kiddo!
And lookee there! I made it up! Yay! I got up three whole entire times! It was one of my prouder moments I tell you. Look how excited I am.
There was someone though who was not so excited to see me out in the water. Every time he saw me out of the boat, Jazz would burst into tears. He cried and cried, and made me feel really good. lol. Yay, I am his favorite human! In the picture above, I wasn't making that face because I was so excited to be up (though I was), I was actually trying to tell Jazz that everything was ok, but he didn't really listen. He just kept being sad, which is still so cute.
And here is Grandma Fancy, she wake boards too! See! I told you the whole family is amazing!
On Sunday, after church, I just stip Jazz down and let him crawl around in his diaper and socks. I know how cruel is that? Practically naked, and socks that slide on wooden floors. But, the thing you can't see is that these socks have little grippy things on the bottom, so they are actually safer than his bare feet. See, I am not so bad!
He loves the two dogs his grandparents have, he chases them around and pulls their fur, ears, and tails. The dogs are so good though and just walk away from him. Except when they can't actually get away, then they do some warning growls and nip at him, but he thinks it is funny and laughs. Jazz thinks life is a game. Which will one day mean he gets bitten. I can't blame the dogs though because Jazz provokes them to no end. No matter how many times we move him away, or give him a different toy, the best toys around are the dogs. Fortunately for us, Jazz hasn't figured out how to follow them through the doggy-door.
Oh, puppies? Where are you? He says dog a lot now because of this visit. He gets it confused with dad, and duck as well. Why do so many words sound so much a like when you have one tooth and you like to stick your tongue out when you say these words?
Here is our little prodigy concert pianist. Just kidding. He loves pounding on the keys though. And look at how happy it makes him!
Then for Sunday dinner our amazing chef Ryan cooked us a six course french meal. The first course was Ratatouille! How cool is that!
Here are is just one of the beautiful dishes he prepared for us. He could be an artist don't you think?
Here is Ty and I at the table.
The whole bunch of us. Jazz went down to bed before we had dinner.
And, on our way home look who was driving in front of us! Crazy! So we took a picture. It was raining like crazy out there, so I am sure glad at least one of the photos turned out!
Yup, that was our quick trip! Now, if I could only get my hands on some of the photos from when my family came to visit then my summer would be complete! Good luck with upcoming school schedules everyone!

How fun! Water-skiing is awesome! Was the water cold? Your cute little boy is growing so fast! Does he look more like Tyler's family or yours?
It was fun! I have just started to learn all of these cool water sports that we don't have a lot of in Idaho. He is growing so fast! He used to be my twin, but he is slowly looking more and more like Tyler.
Nicki, James is so adorable! I think one of my favorite pictures is when he is worried because you are out, and Nancy is holding him - how cute! Sigh. I miss you guys!
