big boy bed

After 3 & 1/2 years of babies sleeping it it, the convertible crib was converted to a toddler bed today! Jack took his nap in it today for the 1st time. Just another little sign that I don't have little babies anymore...

the look

Jack has learned "the look"!

Excuse the mess, Jack LOVES Buffalo Wild Wings mac and cheese!!

Jack's MI Party

We threw Jackson an early birthday party at Grandpa & Grandma's while we were in Michigan. It was fun to visit with family and friends!!

Not too many pics from the day--John does have some videos of singing happy birthday and opening gifts.

-----

Since it was Jack's day, here are some pics of him from the day.

cousins

We took cousin pictures once again while we were in Michigan.

Shelby, Jimmy & Maddie

If you are wondering where Jack is....

wanted nothing to do with pictures, just wanted his momma!

I finally gave him lollipops to pass out to everyone thinking he would stand with them...didn't really work. This was the best picture of all 4 kids...maybe next year!

We're Back!!

We packed up...

and waited on the airplane to take us to...

Michigan!!

Where we...

wrote on Grandma,

waited patiently for the rocking chair to be glued,

had 4 wheeler rides,

pushed and rode in strollers,

swung with Grandpa,

stomped in puddles,

saw friends,

had a birthday party,

played with Aunt Stacey,

made funny faces,

had dinner with fabulous friends,

rode trikes,

got tricycle rides,

and tractor rides...

with Grandpa,

and enjoyed grandpa's tickles!

We loved every minute!!!
