Just some random photos

Like the title says. Just some randoms of the little man.

Gift from "aunt" Dana

My friend Dana is super talented and made Jack a beautiful wallcovering. She is amazing at what she does and has her own etsy shop in case anyone is interested. She does custom work and makes great bibs. Oh and she happens to be a great friend.

Now for the first big owie

So apparently Jack had an accident. We had just finished dinner and then we hear a scream from the playroom. Go in there and we find Jack curled in a ball with apparently a new face tattoo.










But he has survived and the scab has fallen off now and looks like there won't be much scar.

Now for Labor Day at Aunt Linnie's

Every year for as long as I can remember my great aunt Linnie has had a labor day pool party and all my cousins and extended family come. It is lots of fun and this year the whole family went. At least our whole family went. We had a good time!!



Here is some of the evidence.



My cousin Terry also has more pictures on his website. He is a great photographer.

First a Trip to the Zoo

The whole fam decided to take a trip to the zoo. We met a few of mama's friends there and had a wonderful time despite the extrememly warm weather. And when I say warm I mean super hot, sweaty, sticky, humid mess that we were dealing with in Asheboro NC.





We met Matty, Leah and Bryant and a few other friends too. Matty is below and he is the same age as Jack.

We saw some very lazy animals that day. Most were just laying around not doing too much since it was so HOT!



Here is a picture of Jack's mama and Leah posing with the babies. We are outside of the sea lion exhibit. Now they were cool. They were constantly swimming in the water and Jack loved them. He didn't want to leave!



Jack was exhausted and slept the whole ride home.

We will definitely plan another trip there... maybe when it was cooler since the animals weren't moving too much!! Plus we didn't get to see the giraffes and everyone knows they are our favorites.

Busy Weekend

We had an extremely usy weekend. I have lots of great pictures but I have to upload them first. Just as a preview to the fun festivities I will post... we went to the NC Zoo, we went to a labor day pool party and Jack got his first major boo boo.

I am a slacker

I know.. I am a slacker. But I really have a good reason. Stay tuned. First to catch up with a few pictures.

Now for more stuff... so we have been busy around the house lately. So much going on...

Perhaps you are not sure what this means... that can't really be a line right??


still a bit confused...i was too!


Maybe it is the brand or maybe I am reading them wrong....


Nope... nothing says you are pregnant like the word PREGNANT!!!


You guessed it!! We are having a new addition in March(again)! Give us strength!

This is great!!

You will love this. So Jack has a new word he is using all the time!!! Guess what it is???

Now introducing...

CLYDE

For those of you who don't see Jack everyday, you may not have had the privilege of meeting Clyde. Clyde was a gift from "Aunt Amy" and Matthew in Missouri. Clyde travelled a long way to join our family. He was born in Germany ( I think ) and rode a plane to get to us. Clyde is very special to us and even more special to Jack. It was an immediate attachment and Clyde had to come to bed with him every night. Clyde is great!!

Just some pictures!!

I have been trying some new settings on my camera. I am liking the results!!

A trip down memory lane

I was asked to post the very first picture taken of Jack. This is what I have. Now remember i had a c-section so this is perhaps 3 minutes after being removed from me. Mark got to carry him down the hall to the nursery, where they cleaned him up, put on his lowjack and basically made him a presentable baby! Excuse the ink spots, this is still the internet and anyone can see these!






Oh and just for kicks.... right before the bad labor started!!

And because I am feeling very nostalgic... Jack at 7 weeks!! Looks like a little gummy bear!

It is hard to believe how much he has grown. But he is a big boy now. he eats chicken nuggets, chases cats, builds tall towers and brushes his own teeth. WOW!

You guessed it...

More videos!!! I know you love them! This one is titled building and uh oh! My little man is toooooooooo much fun!

Oh and just for old times sake... my how he has grown!!

Still going!

I have lots of new video to upload. Okay so now this is Jack's newest trick... twirling or spinning whatever you want to call it. I call it spinning!

I am gonna keep going!!

I got some great new video of Jack. Video has been slacking recently due to the unfortunate demise of my point and shoot camera. I just got a new camera that will shoot video.

Jack has lots of new tricks but first an oldie but goodie. Jack's dancing skills never cease to amaze me. The hubby said that he takes after me with his dancing... decide for yourself.

Sorry it is sideways... I can't figure out how to turn it ( atually I think I know I am just too lazy to correct it now)!

As promised....

Two weekends ago, we attended Miss Evie's first birthday. It was at a great park near our house. Jack and I had a great time but the hubby was home sick. I never want to be a single mom. It is hard work!!! My hat goes off to single moms everywhere. Jack got to play with Miss Reagan, Miss Kathryn and lots of other kiddos. They are very cute together.

They had this cool tunnel playground thing. Jack and all the kids loved it!!



All in all it was a great day and we had lots of fun playing outside.

Busy Busy Weekend

We had a busy weekend and I will be posting at least 1 maybe 2 or 3 posts tonight once I edit some photos! So just hold your horses!!

The cloud of sickness is slowly lifting...

I hope!! Oh my goodness do I hope. Besides everyone being a little sicky and the Hubby being really sick, The Commonwealth Games were this weekend. So we have been busy little bees. I have a few pics to upload from Friday before the real fun started here. The 4th was OK... Jack and I were supposed to be in Richmond but since I knew the sickness was coming we just stayed home and kept our germs here.

Jack's new game is to get his coke bank from his room and carry it around. It is almost as big as him... but it is a little light on coin so he can carry it. He likes to hug it as well!!

Then he runs into his room and shuts the door!! He is growing up so much!

I hope to post some more this week now that almost everyone in the house is better.

Come to the dark side...

So before the plague decended upon our house this week ( the hubby and I have been sick for the past 2 days) I got a few pics of Jack playing in a super cute new shirt.

Isn't he the cutest?? Love him so!

**Jack's mama**
