We just got back from Missouri where we attended Ashley's little brother's (Lane & Tara) wedding and to spend New Year's with her parents/family. It was swell to see everybody.

I know, I know....

I'm usually pretty good about posting stuff but I've been busy ok! Jeesh. I was going to post a bajillion pictures on the blog, but instead decided to put them on my site. So here are a whole new batch of great Tuner pictures! There is an album called "Winter 2006" that has new pictures like this one where Turner sat on his tricylce that he got for Christmas.

Sunday with Dad

Turner@bench, originally uploaded by gregring.

The weather has been great so Turner and I have been hanging outside a lot. These are the top five things that Turner likes to do outside:

5. Chase Gurdy
4. Have Dad hold Turner while we chase Gurdy.
3. Pick up sticks to give to Gurdy
2. Hide from Gurdy behind the shed.
1. Crouch and poop in diaper...while pointing at Gurdy

Turner taking time to smell the....marigolds?

Turner and Ash at the Arboretum

Turner and Ashley went to the Arboretum. Ashley is so pretty. I promise Turner isn't peeing in this picture, but I like the pumpkins and squash in this picture that Ash took. It says "Hey this picture is taken in the fall"

At Grandma's

Turner on Stool, originally uploaded by gregring.

I tried to take Turner to the Arboretum today but got too beaten down within the first 45 seconds I turned around and headed to Grandma's house. Lila and Logan were there. We ate lunch, played football, and walked down to the park. Didn't even have to use my A.K. You can say it was a good day...

What up 'Cuz?

Turner got to hang out with his cousin's Lila & Logan on saturday. Turner got to show everyone his favorite show The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Everyone's watching, although Turner's probably the only one enjoying it.

Never go against the family

Tuner got a haircut

ah, originally uploaded by gregring.

Turner's not a huge fan of getting his haircut. So there's a vouple things that he needs. First (and foremost) is Pups, who Turner is holding. Then you need to sit in Turner's other favorite thing. A car. Then haircuts arn't so bad.

Elephants at the Zoo

Elephants at the Zoo, originally uploaded by gregring.

Ashley had the weekend off so we all went to the Dallas Zoo. Turner saw lots of cool animals like lions, birds, monkeys and elephants. He liked the BIG elephants with their big tusks. He also likes songs about elehants, elephants in books, and even elephants on TV. Sitting on a bronze elephant outside the zoo on the otherhand... not so much. This was the one good picture we got of him riding this baby elephant.

Asleep after the Zoo

Asleep after the Zoo, originally uploaded by gregring.

Although Turner had fun at the Zoo, it wore him out. We couldn't sing "Hot Potato" enough to keep him awake. You can also see the bruise/abrasion to the right of his eye frm falling against the coffee table.

Reading a book on trucks in Florida

DSCN3804, originally uploaded by gregring.

Alright. I promised a bunch of pictures from our trip to Florida this summer and really only posted a few. These are several weeks old but cute nonetheless. Here I am reading a book we got Turner on construction trucks. On the right hand side of the books it has buttons with several rad sound effects. As you can see, Turner is pretty interested in the noisy part of the book.

The backyard

TurnerandMajor, originally uploaded by gregring.

Since the weather is cooling off (if you can call 94 degrees cool), we've been spending more time in the backyard. Picking up sticks, running around the shed and playing with the dogs next door helps pass the time. the big gray one's name is Major. Both dogs are sweet.

Football season is starting.

DSCN3984, originally uploaded by gregring.

Probably one of my favorite times in my life was when Turner and I (the men of the family) would watch football of Sunday afternoon. It would be pretty cool outside, chili would be in the crockpot and Turner would be flopping around as a baby baby. I can't wait to have football (much less the Cowboys) to watch with Turner on Sunday's.

Turner at playground

TURNER@PLAYGROUND, originally uploaded by gregring.

We went to the playground this morning at the park. Of all the things at the playground (slide, swings, drawbridge, etc) it's the steering wheel that most resembles a car. Therefor, this gets the royal treatment from the big guy.

"Car. Car. Car. Caaarrr?...."

Turner's first aquatic adventure

meandturner, originally uploaded by gregring.

Turner loves the beach. He spends most of the day here playing in the sand then when he gets hot (which he loves to say..."hot") he goes for a dip in the Atlantic.

You can't tell from this picture but Daddy has Chicken Pox. A very mild case and I got them from the big guy who was vacinated a month ago. I should make it.

Ring Family in Florida

I promise we'll have some better beach pictures but right now Daddy has the measles. So any pictures with my shirt off are likley to enduce riots from beach goers everywhere. So for the timebeing we'll just have to settle for pictures in longsleeves.

Another one

We're off to Florida with Gigi, G-daddy and Uncle Lane. Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for wattching Gurdy while we're gone! We'll put a whole slew of each pictures up here when we get back. Until then, ENJOY!

Corny

Grandma was nice enough to give us a few ears of corn and the big guy loved it. Ashley took some pictures including this one where Turner is holding on to the corn so tightly that his fingertips are white...

Here's a picture of my son that I'm a little hesitant to put on the World Wide Web. You never know whose looking at this stuff. And don't think I don't notice those beedy little eyes in the lower right hand corner checking out Turner's butt.

Turner at the water park

Turner and Ashley visited a couple of friends at the new water park that opened at Skyline Rec Center (that's old school lingo for Lake Highlands Recreation Center). From what Ashley said, Turner had a great time.

Muscle Man

Turner had his 15 month checkup yesterday. He's 60th percentile in weight (25lbs. 5.oz) and off the charts height-wise (I think Ash said 30+ inches). To celebrate Turner put on his muscle shirt and started flexin'.

Thanks Lotus.

Lotus (Charlie & Becky Weber's adorable daughter) got Turner an iPod for his first birthday...sort of. It's a little bigger than Dad's iPod but he has cooler songs - like "itsy bitsy spider"...

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to all who came out for Turner's first birthday. He got lots-o-loot and really had a great time. Also thanks for to Whitney for posting some pictures of the big day.

Huray!

Turner's turning one.

A collection of 36 different pictutres that tell the story of the young lads first year on this planet. There's a lot of pictures that you've seen already, some you haven't. So what are you waiting for? Check it out!

Turner at the Arboretum

Turner@Arb, originally uploaded by gregring.

The family went to the Arboretum yesterday and had a blast. Ashley and I both forgot that it was Spring Break for all the local schools so it was a bit crowded to say the least. But Turner did manage to make his way into a game of "tag" with some big kids.

Although, now I think he's a bit confused as to what grass really is. The grass at the Arboretum is like a perfect soft green carpet. While the (so-called) grass at home is not soft, nor is it carpet-like and certainly isn't green.

Turner's starting to stand on his own.

Yeah, I know he's not standing on his own in this picture but Ashley and I have been neglecting our duties as primary picture takers. But I know it's been a while since I posted a picture and I didn't want anymore hate mail....

Fix

Here's your Turner fix. He's cute. He's smart. He's Turner.

The big guy has started signing "More" and "Eat". He's so much smarter than me! Well, we'll see how well he does in his Baby Einstein Photoshop tutorial...
