It's all about the FORT

This is so much FUN!!!
Mama, "Noo Noo & Mag Mag" ate my snacks again!!!!

I LOVE my fort Aunt Jane
You must be a CUBS fan to enter the fort!!

Well Mama has been down and out due to shoulder surgery and Jack is having a blast with his new Fort that Aunt Jane built! Everyday we go into the fort for some snacks, and Dada bought him a cubs pillow for his fort. We just have to figure out a way to keep Mag Mag and Noo Noo out of the fort and eating Jack's snacks. Thanks to MeeMa, Aunt Jane and Uncle Ice for entertaining me this weekend....you guys are the best! Love you!!

Boo Boo Part 2

"Mama can you see both of them??"
Mama, you better get a close up!
"Noo Noo is in the way, you can't see my knee"
"Mama, we better get to school so I can show my friends"

Jack skinned his knee yesterday at school so now we get to wear two band aids! This is very exciting to Jack, I guess we have officially entered the band aid stage! He wanted pictures taken again this morning, ooh to be two again!

Boo Boo

Mama can you see my "boo boo"?
How about now???
I can't wait to show my friends at school
"Cheeesssse".....yes we are still doing that!

Well Jack got his first "boo boo" at school and we had to put a "sponge bob" band-aid on it. He is very excited about this! It came off last night before bed and we had a meltdown because of it, first thing this morning he asked for a "ponge bob band aid"...too cute! He walked into school to show off the band-aid, he wanted to take pictures of it...cracking me up! Enjoy!!

I LOVE APPLES

Is this a good one Mama???

Me and my favorite cousin, the above picture is me last year, wow have I grown!!!

Over the weekend we went apple picking with Guncle, Auntie Anne, ANDY, Aunt Marci & "Duke". Jack loves apples and can not get enough! He ate 4 of them while we were picking our basketful......needless to say there was a "poop" explosion by the time we got home! We had a blast and what a difference a year makes! Thanks for inviting us and we look forward to next year! We love you guys!!

Did you hear????????????

Show & Tell

This is "Papa"...ooh my Dad would be so proud!
This is the trophy we want to win
I love to say "cheeessse" when taking pictures now
This is what I wore on picture day!!

Jack is very busy at school. We had picture day and show & tell. Of course Jack had to bring in his "GO CUBS" book to share with the class, and apparently is still saying "chhheeeeeeeesssse" from picture day. Had our 1st parent teacher conference last night, overall Jack is a joy to the classroom, lots of energy and likes to "test" the boundaries! The goal for the school year is to play nice and share with others and hopefully learn a few other things along the way! We are so very happy with your new school Jack, by the time you are in kindergarten you will be a PRO!!

Say CHEESSSEEEE

"CHEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE"
"Like this Mama?"

Tomorrow is picture day at school and we have been practicing our smile! Should be interesting how Jack does....we will keep you all posted!

Obsessed with Elmo

When I say Jack is obsessed with Elmo and the Chicago Cubs, I am really not exaggerating! Here a a few pictures of Jack wanting to watch Sesame Street and of course we have to have our Cheerios & Milk in Elmo cup and bowl....is there any other way???

Jack's 2 year old checkup

Well today we went to the doctor for Jack's two year old check up! Jack is doing awesome...right on track! Jack you were such a big boy today and only had to get one shot and a finger poke for some blood work! We are so proud of you!
