Big Trucks

Notice the golf ball made it in the case!

"Mommy, off to work like you and Daddy!"

"Mommy, can you see the big trucks?"

Watch out Elmo our new obsession is "Big Trucks". Jack has them hidden in his bed, in the car, in mommy & daddy's bed, you name it we can always find a big truck! Daddy found this cool carry case to hold all the "big trucks". It is like a briefcase on wheels which is great since every morning Jack tells us he is going to work!

As you can tell Jack is ready for baseball season...I know we have awhile but we are counting down the days to opening day :)

A Big Thank You!!!!!!

"Monkey"

"Mommy can you see my smile like Monkey's?"

"Uncle D we got the shirt and it fits great!"


We just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who ordered stuff from Jack's fundraiser from school, you will be happy to know that Jack got the monkey that he wanted! We really appreciate everyone supporting Jack and his school, which we think is awesome! We love you!!

Baby, it's cold outside.....Meema!!

"Mommy, can you see me??"

"Mommy, can I wear the scarf at school?"

Jack was having so much fun this morning when we were ready to go outside in the temperature of -21 degrees, that's correct that was the actual temperature!

Christmas in January??

"Driving with Daddy in Great Grandma's chair!"

"Bowling in the country!"

"Uncle D, what does this fish do?"

"New Veggie Tales Movie, can we watch it now??"

"I love my fire truck Uncle D & Aunt Antha"

"Wow, this is a really big truck!"

Well we finally got to have our Christmas with Daddy's side of the family. Jack of course got way too many presents but as you can tell is in LOVE with all of the big trucks! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for hosting and keeping the tree up so it really did feel like Christmas! Thanks to everyone for all the generous gifts. We love you!

2 Years Ago

Mommy loving on you!

Our 1st family photo

Look at us today!!

Jack, two years ago today Daddy and I met you for the very first time! Actually everyone met you via Jack TV and all fell in love with you as well! You were already 4 months old but we knew you were waiting for us and to be a part of our family! We don't remember our life without you. It is hard for me to put into words the first moment I held you. Of course there were lots of tears and you were dressed so snazzy and we fell more in love once we met. Those 5 days in Guatemala changed our lives forever! You have brought so much love, joy and happiness to our family and I thank God each and every day for you!! Jack we are so proud to be your Mommy & Daddy! We love you so much big boy!

"Happy Birthday Annie"

"Excuse ME"

"Seriously Mommy, no more pictures!!"

Happy Birthday Auntie Annie, hope you loved the way Jack sang to you yesterday! He was quite serious, and when we were practicing it was "Happy Birthday Guncle", so I was quite pleased when he actually said "annie". I guess that is going to be your new name, now all we have to do is get an update picture of you and Jack. This is the 1st weekend Jack was home, he doesn't even look like the same kid :)

We hope you had a wonderful day!!

Ice Cream

"Mommy is this on speaker phone?"

"Can't really talk, need to eat my ice cream!"

"Mommy, I put it in here so it won't drip????"

"Mommy, can we have ice cream at every meal??"

Okay Jack had is first ice cream cone last night. He might have had one at school but this was the first one with Mommy & Daddy. He was quite giddy! As you can see we were calling his "peeps" to tell them about the ice cream. He is absolutely obsessed with the phone and LOVES to call Meema! Uncle Johnny Funn was at our house and then Grandpa came over and brought Jack is favorite cookies...Oreo's, we took them to school today so he could share with his friends!! Grandpa, Jack was quite proud marching in with the cookies this morning and he told the teacher they were from Grandpa...too cute!

Mag Mag & Noo Noo

"Mommy, Can Noo Noo sleep with me tonight?"

"I Love Noo Noo"

"Mommy, how about Noo Noo & Mag Mag?"

Even Mag Mag and Noo Noo love Jack's new bed. Jack went back to school today and was excited to get back playing with his friends! Troy & Racheal were so happy to see Jack they were hugging and kissing him....too cute!

Big Truck

"Mommy & Daddy I LOVE my new bed!"

"Mommy, can you see my big truck/car?"

"Mommy, I am Lighting McQueen"

"Nite Nite, Mommy & Daddy!"

Well Jack has done very well with staying in his "big truck bed." Perhaps it is because he is sick with a double ear infection and too tired to get out of bed, or that he really is listening to Mommy and Daddy and staying in his bed until we come and get him. We have decided to go with the listening. Tonight he actually got to bring a "big truck/car" to bed since he has been so good and listening so well! I am afraid Mommy's baby boy is now a big boy.....where does the time go??

And by the way we took the crib down....no turning back!!!
