I'm a slacker But Merry Christmas!

I'll catch up with all of our latest pictures later, but Jack met Santa at our ward Christmas party! He loved it and they got some cute pictures :)

Happy Halloween

We had a little lumber Jack this year with a beard and all! And Jack has been loving anything to do with Halloween! I've been hearing about pumpkins, ghosts, bones, spiders, and fankensteins for weeks now, but we had a great time at our ward trunk-or-treat!

Jack is TWO!

It started with a birthday pancake breakfast

Jack played with lots of balloons all morning while I got ready for his party

I had so much fun decorating and baking for the party :)





Jack getting ready to blow out the candles

He ate all the frosting off first :)





He loved all of his presents and had so much fun opening them


It was a fun birthday! Jack had such a good day and I can't believe he's two! I had fun too and I love all of Jack's presents because I wasn't interupted once while making this post:) Happy Birthday Jack!!! We love you!

Date Night

The nutritious dinner

The movie

Even a kiss goodnight ;)

I've been trying to do fun things for Jack's birthday week and since Marsh has been gone so much at school, tonight Jack and I went out on a date :) We got some yummy dinner and a movie. He was a good date! Marsh has some tough competition :)

Home Made Playdough

I made playdough for the first time today! It was way easier than I thought and turned out great! Jack woke up from nap and played with it for at least an hour straight! What a fun toy!

Ayala Football

Last Friday we went to the high school football game because it was the school's rival game. Jack was a little nervous at first with all the noise and kept saying he wanted to go home, but he liked it more and more as the night went on :) Sadly we lost bad and Marshall was switching loyalty to the other team by halftime... But it was a good time!

Children's museum

Last week we went to the children's museum in Chino for the second time since moving here and it was so fun! Jack was in heaven running around looking at all the little rooms and playing with all of his friends! I only got one picture where he's actually looking at the camera because he was too busy having so much fun!

Jack will be two in a week and I just had to post things we love about Jack!

-When I tell Jack something exciting he says "No way!" or "really? WOW!"

-When he wants to get out of time out early he yells "hug!"

-He calls fankenstein 'frankencelery' from vegie tales and he loves to say Halloween things are scary and spooky

-He gets mad when we don't pray for daddy at school every prayer :)

-He loves his ABC's and knows all of them! The other day we was pointing to the letter and saying "mom what that?" I would say "an A" Jack would say "good job mom!"

-He falls asleep to primary songs and 'popcorn popping' is his favorite.

-His favorite toys right now are trains, cars, and nemo.

We love Jack so much and I can't believe he's going to be two!

Train Station

In honor of Jack's amazing block train that he was building all morning we decided to go to the train station and watch some trains. Jack loved it and I'm surprised he wasn't scared at all. The trains were really loud and made everything shake as they went by, but he was loving every second of it!



This was the same train station where we went to pick up my mom when she was in town for the Labor Day weekend and when we were leaving Jack said "Gram?" It was sad, but I'm surprised he remembered. We miss all of our family, but Jack remembers everyone so I'm glad about that :)

Choo Choo

Jack is hard at work making the perfect train with his blocks.

We had to find as many blocks as we could and this was the result.

He made the longest train! I can't wait till his birthday when we can give him a train with tracks! But for now his imagination is working just fine with what he has :)

Happenings of the Week

Jack had fun in the splash pad

We had a fun long beach day. Jack tried sharing his sandwich with the birds.



It was a pretty cold day so we were bundled for most of it, but it was still fun to be there and find shells and play.


Jack took a good long nap while we were there too :)

Jack also played with his friend Ruthie. He loves to play with her and always asks when Ruthie will be back.
