Busy Bees

Busy doesn't even explain how crazy our lives have been the past couple of months. We all have so much going on.... time has just been flying! I can't believe it has already mid may!!! It really feels like it was just yesterday that Jack turned three. I have no idea where the past three months have gone.
Jack has been swimming like a fish. He loves going to his swim lessons and his teacher is AWESOME! I can't believe my little boy can swim, it is fun to watch him in the pool. He just smiles and giggles the whole time.
As for school, he only has a couple more weeks of pre-school..... his first year almost over!! I am looking into some camps for him and just trying to figure out our summer plans. I can't believe how much he has learned this past year. We are working on the sounds letters make.... it was just 6 months ago he was learning his letters! He loves telling me the letters and numbers on signs and asking me what certain words say. I guess in a just a couple of years we won't be able to spell out things in front of him...... we will have to come up with code words.
I leave for Richmond today for a few days and when I get back will upload some Easter pictures in the meantime here is a picture of Jack on his way to swim lessons one morning.

What Jack wants to be when he gets older

What Jack wants to be when he grows up... a firefighter construction worker. Oh and a policeman who can help mommy when I am in trouble.

Birthday morning pancakes

February 24, 2010

On Jacks actual 3rd birthday we had a fantastic day!! He woke up with chocolate chip pancakes and I took him out for a picnic lunch and then we went to the toy store where he picked up Chuck the talking truck.
The day wrapped up with fabulous dinner out and then coming home for cake and presents. Jack wanted a pink cake with pink sprinkles. So that is EXACTLY what he got. He loves telling people now that he is free years old. Although funny enough he still considers himself "a little boy." He says he is not a big boy yet he is still little.

Birthday Party

Jack's 3rd birthday party was a blast! He was surrounded by friends and family. We had a firetruck themed party. He had a firetruck cake, kids decorated wooden fire trucks and picture frames with markers and stickers, everyone took home a fire truck hat filled with firetruck themed toys. We had a fire truck come from one of our local fire houses. Jack is still talking about his party. He loved it!!

Some days I just want to freeze time..... Happy Birthday to my sweet boy!

Jack is 3! Words can not express how much love we have for him and how much joy he brings to our lives. He has been nothing but the greatest blessing to us. From the beginning he has has been a very easy going baby turned into a pretty laid back kid. He LOVES life and is almost always smiling and laughing, he is just one happy kid! We are beginning to notice as he gets older whos traits he gets from who. He has Brandons love of learning, his persistence, as well as his easy going personality. From me he gets his sense of compassion, sensitivity, and likes things to be neat and tidy.
This past year is has been so much fun seeing his personality really develop into his own. He definitely has his OWN sense of humor, he makes us laugh all the time. We are so blessed to have him as our son and thought that two was anything but terrible, it was terrific. We will see what age 3 has in store for us.....

Sleepy Heads

Brandon read to Jack last week, I realized he had been reading to him a long time. I went in and found this......
