Usually he's able to get out... except sometimes he gets stuck and asks for help:
So he's also decided that the ice cream tub is fun to stand/sit in. I think this one is about to retire though...
Even Tiki is enjoying his small spaces, sitting and cuddling into the basket that Ruston also likes to sit in.
Unfortunately, his head fits through some of the rungs, so I can't just send him out there to play because he may have the ability to fall through. Who's he looking at?
I believe Tucker the dog is down below. And as you can tell, although it's blurry, the smile on his face says it all. Mr. Baldy loves being outside!
Here's the other reason I have to be outside when Ruston is... because daddy isn't paying ONE BIT of attention to what he's doing out there! ;) Ruston's running to the other end to say hi to Tucker again.
I see a lot more outside time in our future...
Ruston is a little mover these days, and it's hard to get him to hold still long enough to get anything done!
Ruston is one of the most cuddly little guys I know, and very loving. He knows what he's being told, and sometimes will purposely defy us, and yet, it's SO cute. :)
Taco felt like he needed to be in the pictures too...
And for his stats: Ruston at 1 year... still has VERY FEW TEETH... but this doesn't stop him from eating!
Birthday party pictures to come...
Even if he doesn't fit very well.
He also has his own cabinet in the kitchen. It used to have stuff in it, but once again, he has emptied it in order climb in and play in it. Tiki follows and looks on, and sometimes joins him inside.
"See mom, I fit!"
He also likes his diaper boxes. Before I have a chance to take them outside once they are empty, he is in them.
Personally, I don't quite get it; he can't do anything once he's in there, like play with toys or anything. Pretty soon, he won't fit! At least he's enjoying himself though.
As an Army veteran, Johnny was able to have a military burial with the family flag as well. I know it is slightly strange to see pictures of a dead person, but we were never able to get good pictures while he was alive, and I wanted some memory of what he looked like. 
Mammer and Papa Wayne dealt with their firstborn passing much better than we thought they would. 
Jason's half brother, Josh. Josh had more of a relationship with Johnny, so he took the news a bit harder still.
The Kemp boys.
It was a peaceful viewing and a simple burial. There are still so many unanswered questions that will never be answered, but that is how life (and death go). RIP Johnny Wayne Kemp
First, he just liked to beat on the food with his spoon. Yes, it's a large pile, but most of it didn't make it in his mouth...
Notice the cheese on the face?
All over the tummy.... yum.
And a wonderful noodle mustache!
I gave him a bigger spoon too, which seemed to help some. But mostly, I think he enjoyed making a complete mess. Bathtime, here we come!
Unfortunately, Ruston didn't feel like sitting through the graduation, and we spent most of it in the hallway doing this:
There were some great speakers, which I still managed to hear from the hallway.
The small group of people there for graduation at Walters State Community College.
The class is standing. Those sponsored by a department were in uniform, but most put themselves through and wore white shirts at the end.
Jason receiving his certificate on stage. Sorry it's blurry, once again, Ruston wasn't cooperating, and it's an action shot!
Jason on the end of the second row.
Jason with his certificate. Good job hubby/daddy! We're proud of you!!
At the end of it all, Ruston was WORN OUT! In the car, shortly after the graduation. :)
On the way home, we stopped at Bass Pro in near Knoxville so Jason could get his fix. Jason and Ruston had fun looking at the fishies in the aquarium there.
And LP Field where the Titans play. All that greenery was also under water in May.
The stage before the beginning of the show.
LeeAnn Womack was the opening. She was awesome.
Then REBA!!
That woman sure has some pipes for her age!
LeeAnn and Reba even did a duet together... ask Jason what the song was because I can't remember. haha
Ronnie Dunn made an appearance for Cowgirls Don't Cry too.
It's amazing who will show up when you go to a concert in Nashville. Reba lastly came in her little yellow taxi to sing FANCY!
Finally to Sir George!
This last picture is George singing Wayne's song, The Fireman. It was pretty neat to hear a song being sung by a family member.
