My First Plane Ride

On Sunday, July 13, 2008, Jake stepped into an airplane for the very first time. He flew for over two hours from Phoenix to Portland, Oregon, for our annual family trip and he did pretty well. He cried for about 10 minutes during our descent into Portland and was wanting leave his seat most of the time, but he also watched movies and even slept for a little bit.

4th of July

Waiting for sunset.


Dancin' with grandma


Enjoying his first snowcone. (Strawberry I'm sure)


Watchin' "the rockets red glare..."


"and bombs bursting in air!!!"


Jake spent his second 4th of July watching the fireworks at the Yuma Golf and Country Club only this year he was able to stay awake the whole time. He had a blast running around on the practice green and listening to the band. He never seemed to get tired and enjoyed the neon glow rope and his first snow cone. We weren't too sure how he was going to react to the fireworks, but as you can see he just sat in mom's lap and stared in amazement. We sure loved watching him play with all of the other kids.
