Graduations & Indianapolis Zoo

I started babysitting my girls again a couple weeks ago. They have passes for the Tropicanoe Cove water park here in Lafayette, so we went! We were there for about 4 hours and Jared LOVED it! It was like a giant bathtub that Mommy didn't take him out of after only 10 minutes of playtime! :-)
My sister, Stephanie, graduated Friday night, so my grandparents all came in. They last saw Jared over Christmas, so they were shocked at how much bigger he is!

Jared was tired and very unhappy and Copper just couldn't figure out what was going on! haha! So cute!

Rachel's graduation was Saturday evening. Mom Hall's brother and sister-in-law came in from California. It was nice since I hadn't met them before and they got to meet little Jared. Plus, it didn't hurt that they played catch-up on gift giving and we got a belated wedding present and Jared got some new clothes (thank goodness! that boy is growing!). :-)

The Shark Touch Tank! Jared started reaching out to touch one of the sharks swimming by and it raised up out of the water! It freaked me out and I jerked him away instinctively, even though they don't even have teeth! haha! I went with my friend, Jamie, and her family and friends and she got the picture of the shark trying to get Jared! :-)

He loved the elephants! Look, its a Mommy and Baby!! :-)

We caught the elephant show, although Jared was sound asleep in his stoller. I took pictures so he could see later! :-)

This was in the dome below the dolphin tank. Of course, anytime the dolphins would swim by, Jared wouldn't be looking! There was one time where he did actually see one swim by and he got so excited!

If you can't tell, that's a walrus in the background! I don't think Jared knew what to think of it. Next to us are Dillan and Brooklyn, Jamie's little niece and nephew. (Sorry if the spelling is wrong!)
We've had a very busy last couple of weeks, but we've really enjoyed all our time with friends and family!

Indiana Beach

This past weekend was a free trip to Indiana Beach through Isaac's work. We were surprised at how much fun we were able to have with Jared in tow.

You can't really tell from these pictures, but he really enjoyed the Merry Go Round. We rode it twice! :-)
We hung out with Isaac's Boss' family and they would watch Jared for us now and then so we could ride some of the older rides. It was so nice of them! Hannah was my ride buddy whenever Isaac would stay behind with Jared. This picture was on the little train ride.

Letting Jared get his wiggles out! :-)

We were on the old fashioned car ride and I am NOT good at taking pictures like this! Sorry!
Jared just looked so cute in his stroller!

Isaac and I FINALLY cleared out all the overgrowth on our walkway and re-mulched. It took some time (and some plant eating by Jared) but it looks soooo much better! If you've been to our house in the past year, you know what I'm talking about! :-)

Jared and I try to keep in touch with friends. This was at Pepe's with Kelly and Leon. We sat them next to each other so they could entertain one another.
Every Tuesday, Jared and I go to play group. He loves to play with Quintyn! They are only a couple months apart in age, so they keep up with each other pretty well!
I made homemade barbeque chicken pizza for dinner the other night and Jared LOVED eating the crust! He was shoveling it in as fast as he could. It was too cute to pass up a picture! :-)
