For the Love of Summer!

I've decided we are a summer family! Which makes me strongly consider moving somewhere that we could enjoy more of this kind of weather. Jack lights up when he can be outside, and he sleeps better too! Below is just a little bit of what we've been up too.

A full day...

Yesterday, we had a full day. The morning was bright and sunny out so we had breakfast and headed out on to the deck for some fun with bubbles and the slide. For our anniversary/mothers day Chris bought me a hammock to have outside. So today was a perfect day to finally put it together!







After Jacks nap the two of us sat on the floor and mixed up some chocolate chip cookies. Jack loves to help me cook.





Even with fresh baked cookies coming out of the oven, Jack wanted to eat a gogurt. His new favorite treat.



Chris had to close at Target, so he left for work around 3:00. Jack and I decided it was such a nice day out that we would head to the zoo. Jack cried when we left the house. Mostly because he was playing outside and I don't think he understood what the zoo was. He changed his mind when we got there.



Jack enjoyed feeding the animals in the petting zoo part. As you can see though, Lighting McQueen was always in hand!









After visiting Chris we headed home to cuddle on the coach and watch a movie. Jack decided then would be a good time to have a cookie. (He was right!) But I forget how tall he is getting and had the cookies to close to the edge of the counter, so he was able to help himself. I think he managed to pick out the largest one there was.

Wishing for the warmer days back!

This photo just makes me happy, so I thought I would share. It's been so cold and rainy lately that we are starting to wondering if Summer is ever going to come.

Our new little boy!

Spring Has Sprung!

First let me say, we are loving the weather we have been having. Jack is loving the outdoors and hates it when he has to come inside. He is definitely an outdoors child! Life has been busy for us, hence the lack of posting that I have been doing. I promise to try and get better at this! Now on to the fun part! Most of you know, but for those who don't, we are expecting a baby boy! Someone that Jack can share his favorite movie "Cars" with. That's right Chris and I can just about recite the whole movie at this point. "Ka-Chow!"

Jack has a new big boy bed! He likes to sleep in it, but recently realized that he can easily climb out of it, and now has a hard time falling asleep in it. Mostly because when we leave the room, it take him about 30 seconds to come open the door. We're working on it.

Outside watching Mocha play. I'm not sure who enjoyed the company outside more, Jack or the dog.

This is how Jack looks when he says "Ka-Chow"



Running in the ND wind.



On the Balance Beam at Gymnastics. This is one of his favorite things to do there.



Freedom at the park.



Going down the slide. After a few times he decided that face first was far more fun!

Back to Reality...

It's nearing the end of January which is hard to believe. We spent the beginning of the new year on a cruise to the Caribbean! We had a wonderful time and were glad to miss the negative temperatures back home. Once we got home it was hard to get back in to the swing of our regular life, and then to make matters worse Chris and I got the flu. Lucky for us Jack never got it! That was a blessings!

At Sail away!
