Jack's 2nd Birthday



As luck would have it Jacks birthday landed the week after Hanna and Joeys wedding. Since everyone would still be in town we decided to just have the party the next day right after church. Man, oh man, I cannot believe we pulled it off. My baby sisters wedding, and my baby boy's birthday party in just two days. We're nuts. But with the help from lots of people it worked out and the most important thing, Jack felt sooo loved and special. He didn't notice or care that his cupcakes were leftover from the wedding (we just decorated the tops of them) or that the leftover pizza tasted a little stale. He seriously loved having all of his friends and family in one (tiny little) spot for a couple hours just for him. So thank you everyone for your help, and most importantly for loving on our sweet little guy.




About Jack as a two year old:

Nicknames (mostly given by his Daddy): Jack Jack, Jaquilious, J-Wall, J-Wallidoddler, Buddy Jack, Punky. Of course the last one is mine.

Favorite foods: Pizza, milk, cheese, crackers, anything with a Cars movie label on it (why can't veggies come stamped with a Cars symbol?!), mac n' cheese, bacon, any fruit, and any sort of candy.

Favorite things to do: Wrestling, getting tickled, getting chased, hopping and jumping at random times all day long, playing puzzles and games on 'my diepod' (aka my ipod), anything that involves Toby, snuggling on the couch sucking his thumb and watching, what else, but Cars movie.

Latest accomplishments: Talking MUCH more, and #2 on the potty.

We just adore our little guy and are so thankful that God choose us to be his mommy and daddy, he blesses us daily with his sweet cuddles, silly antics, and joyful little attitude. We love you buddy Jack!

Private?


So I've been going back and forth in my head for a while now about whether I should make this blog private. Which would mean you would need to 'sign in' in order to see/read anything on it if you are a invited reader. The main reason I want to do this is our privacy. I would love to post pictures of sweet little baby bottoms, the boys playing in the bathtub, or running around the yard in their birthday suits, but there are nasty perverted creepers out there. I would also love to post stuff about Toby's preschool, but I don't want just anyone knowing which one it is. And our new house, I don't want anyone with internet access being able to know right where we live and what's in our home. You know? But the other side is that I don't want to inconvenience anyone, meaning you. Would you give me some feedback please? Would you still read the blog if it was private? Let me know!
