Evey has lost her second tooth, now both lower front teeth are gone.

I think a bunch of Boydee's top teeth are going to come in all at once... his gums look like they're barely keeping these teeth at bay.

Boydee still isn't crawling but he can roll all over the place. That's his preferred way to travel.

Neuty came over and helped me put my fence back up over the weekend, and that was awesome. Big thanks to him.

The St. John's Mexican Fiesta was last weekend, but I didn't take any photos. We got there early and avoided the line for once. It wasn't too hot out, either.

Some photos from the Spring football game

Evey, Jett, Baby Jay and Marina.

Boydee and Aunt Jessica.

Jett, Kevin Young, Marina and Evey. Young was very nice to the kids.

Boydee's Godparents

Here's a photo of Boydee and his Godparents, Lindsey and Mike.

It's funny, I didn't get a great photo of the three of them together at the baptism. I assumed that they would be holding Boydee for most of the baptism and I'd be able to click away. But Father John never said anything about handing off the child to the Godparents, so it turned out that I held Boydee for his entire baptism.

(If memory serves right, at Evey's baptism, Lervik held Evey during her baptism.)

Recently we went to Lindsey's house for Sadie's birthday party, and it was really sweet, she wanted to get some quality time with Boydee. The two of them hung out for most of the time we were there. She even fed Boyd.

Solo hasn't had much of a chance to hang with Boydee yet, but we're going to fix that this summer!

Boydee joined me and Evey today among the ranks of JEDI KNIGHTS.

We handed him one of the light sabers and he held on tight. We got a good laugh out of it. He was quite entertained by the light sabers. And he didn't try to suck on them (like he does with everything else) he just held on to them and looked at the lights.

Thunder win game one. I like it. I'm taking the Thunder in six. Durant looks like the player of the future right now. Excited for game two. Let's go Thunder!!!

May the Farts Be With You

Evey's getting ready for dance class the other day. Judy is taking her. She strips off all her clothes to get into her tights. But then she sees a light saber, and she challenges her dad to a light saber duel.

Never one to turn down a light saber battle, I engaged my opponent, despite her level of dress. So we're doing our best Luke/Vader battle in the living room when --

phrrrrppp!!!

Evey's eyes get real big. I give her a look like, "you OK there, princess?"

She stops. "Dad!" she says, naked as the day she was born. "...pretend I didn't just fart. Because, in Star Wars... they don't fart."

"OK, Evey." She's right, after all.

The battle restarted. For about thirty seconds. And then --

"Dad! Also... pretend you can't smell the fart."

"OK, Evey."

Lot going on over here at the Casa de Jones. We were in Roaring River State Park for about a week with Adrianne's dad two weeks ago. Then I was in Chicago and Indiana on business most of last week. Good to be back home now.

Evey lost her first tooth last week when she bit into a peach. She was quite excited about the visit from the tooth fairy, who left her a $2 bill.

Boydee is doing great and has two lower teeth now. He's gaining weight quickly, it seems. Just like his dad.
