4th of July

This past weekend was filled with many first experiences for Jack. We started out on Friday by taking Jack to his first movie and he loved every minute of Cars 2. The only time he got upset was when I took him out of the movie to go to the bathroom. Have we mentioned that Jack is fully potty trained? He is fully potty trained and it's fantastic, a little stressful at times but still such a good thing!

On Saturday morning, we headed out to Grandbury, TX to spend the weekend with my incredible in-laws. As Jack gets older, packing for trips get easier, except that this time we had to take a potty with us. About an hour before we left I realized, our son is going to have to potty and we might not be near a bathroom. Thankfully we had the potty in the car, because sure enough we had to use it at a rest stop somewhere between our house and Pop's house. Jack had no problems going to the bathroom at a rest stop on the side of the road...go figure.

As soon as we got there the boys left to play some golf, Kris's favorite part of every trip to Grandbury. After dinner we all got ready to head to the pool. Jack loved playing in the pool with Kris, Kate, Kurt and me. It was the first time he's gone swimming with his Uncle Kurt. While at the pool Jack discovered a new favorite game where we get in a circle and toss him back and forth to each other. He LOVED it!!
On Sunday we went to Church where Jack did a great job sitting in "Big Church" with us the entire time. After Church we had a delicious lunch and rested before the big ball game. Sunday night we went to Arlington for Jack's first Texas Rangers game. We were SOOO excited about the Rangers game. We had great seats and had a blast! Jack did so well given the heat, late night and lack of sleep from the busy weekend.
A very special THANK YOU to Pops and Mama Kitty for this very special weekend!!Here's a video of Jack dancing at the game. Sorry it's such a short video, Jack had a sudden mood swing that we didn't want to catch on video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p0PZ1bn-Zg.

On another note, our 4 yr. anniversary is in a week. I can't believe it's only been 4 years that I've been married to this handsome man. It feels like we've crammed a lot (of blessings) into the last 4 years. Hub, I love you and am soo proud to be married to you. You are the perfect man for this very imperfect woman and one INCREDIBLE daddy to our precious son.

A much needed update. . .

Well it's obviously not Autumn anymore. As someone commented before Jack is getting pretty wrinkly in his oatmeal bath so an update is vastly overdue. Well in our 10 months we haven't posted on here we have hit many milestones.

• We redecorated Jack's room from the grayish purple walls to more appropriate colors for a boy.
• Jack has been talking more and more and now he has a very strong opinion on pretty much everything.
• Jack also sleeps in a toddler bed which will be changed to a big boy bed this summer.
  
• We started potty training and he's got a good grasp on it but we are having more accidents than we would like.
  
• As a result of Jack's first potty poop he now has his first pet a Beta fish that he named Mike.
  
• And we just celebrated his 3rd birthday this past weekend.

Well I'm sure that doesn't cover it all but that's the best I can remember from the past 10 months. Now I'll leave you with some pictures from the past ten months and a video of Jack singing happy birthday to his Mommy since they share the same birthday.

Well the video of Jack singing doesn't seem to be working so I'll try to post it on Facebook or something. Hopefully we will try to blog more and not leave Jack on top of that slide too long.
