Some pretty sad events have happened recently in both Jim and Emily's families, so here is something to cheer us all up... The more I watch it, the funnier it gets, but maybe that's because he's mine...:)
What a goof ball...
We had a friend over yesterday. Ruger always gets giggly when friends are over. It's pretty fun to see.
We've had a week full of fun and had out camera to boot!! These events are in no particular order. Here is a glimpse of our week:
Ruger helped me make some rolls. He was VERY good at kneading. And they turned out great, surprisingly.
We went for a walk at Freedom Park. It is a long boardwalk that goes through some forest in the middle of the city. It's a great place to go for the little one since he can just run wild there. No worries with falling off because it's all fenced in. We also discovered a super cool play room for kids to go for free in the office there. It is usually closed when we go, but this time it was open. What a nice thing for people to do to donate a whole bunch of toys for kids of all ages to play with for free. They had every toy imaginable--puppet show curtain with tpuppets, talking microscopes, bug glasses, cars, puzzles, balls, musical instrument, etc. Great find! 
We go to the pool A LOT! Ruger LOVES it and so do I! I am always hot when I am pregnant so it is a nice relief from the summer weather. The place we moved to has an excellent pool for kids. There at a ton of ledges and steps for them to play on. Ruger is addicted to water. He goes around the house VERY often with a measuring cup repeating, "Wa wa? Wa wa?", just begging me to fill his cup full of water so he can dump it in the tub. :) Then when I don't fill up the cup, he asks, "Pool? Pool?" What are we going to do when we move back to Idaho?
When Ruger asks for an apple, he doesn't just want a piece, he wants the WHOLE THING! ...Pears and apples are the same thing right now.
One afternoon after waking from his nap, Rueg crawled up into the big daddy chair began eating some fruit snacks and read to himself for about ten minutes. Pretty cute, I thought.
We played with a friend, Nathaniel. They are about the same age. They played this game for about twenty minutes or longer. They laughed and giggled and laughed and giggled. They also played with their light sabors that we bought at the dollar store. What a great noise maker. We intended to go to the park for the splash pad, but they were having so much fun playing in the dirt on the way that we only made it about a quarter of the way instead. I just sat in the shade and watched 'em play. Good thing I got a book this week. Ruger has been entertaining himself so much lately that I get bored. :) I count it a blessing. I enjoy every moment.
And now for the videos... I don't know what each video is so you'll just have to watch and guess what they are. :)
