Yummycitos!

The day after Jack's party we went to lunch with the family at Pappasitos. Their food is yummy!These were 2 VERY sad boys, sad to see everyone leave.

Sweet boy knocked out as soon as we got in the car. It was a VERY long weekend for Jack. He loved his party and spending time with family, he still talks about it :)

Wasefiller

Let me catch you up on our summer...

Jack turned 2!!!

Thank you, Mama Kay, Pops and Kate for making the trip!!
Jack's favorite aunt!!Jack loved his cake! He will play basketball (Little Tikes basketball set) ALL day long so we knew exactly what kind of cake and party Jack would recognize and enjoy.
The bakery got our last name wrong. We are not the WASEFILLERS! Jack LOVED hitting the big pinata with a "bat"... we weren't surprised :)The party ended (six hours after it started) at the pool. It was a fantastic day!

We're in the 'T's"

Today we went by Target to get some diapers and accidentally veered off into the little boy's section. The 18 month outfit Jack had on today was looking a little tight around the edges so we thought while we're here we might as well look. I know it's obvious that after 18 months comes 24 months, but 24 months is a 2T! My son is wearing a 2T!! I can't believe it. I feel like the toddler clothes seriously crept up on me and I wasn't ready for it today. We also bought Jack his swim trunks which are too cute. We are ready for summer time fun! This is one of the shirts we bought him today. When I asked him if he liked the shirt he said, "oohh, yuss"


P.S. Target has some REALLY great stuff right now.

Big boy haircut

Jack got his first big boy hair cut. He's been to our hair stylist for a hair cut but it was always just a trim to keep him from looking like a girl. I was so afraid we were going to loose his curls but don't worry, some parts of his hair still try to squeeze out a curl.

AFTER:

Bet you thought I forgot

I have to apologize for my lack of blogging. Here's how my day goes:

6:00 Wake up and get ready
6:45 Wake up Jack and get him dressed
7:05ish Bring him downstairs to get his breakfast and my lunch into our bags
7:25 Wrangle Jack into the garage and get him in the car all the while carrying my purse, his bag, sippy cup, and jackets. Needless to say, Jack is REALLY good at helping mom open the car door and climb into his own car seat.
7:30ish On our way to Mrs. Becky's house.
**truthfully I need to leave the house by 7:25 to get to work on time :) My head counselor is OK with me getting there at 8:05ish.
8:05ish-4:30Work
4:45 I walk in the door to a son that is sometimes more excited to see my keys than he is me. He LOVES my keys. I play with my Jack for a little bit.
5:00 In the kitchen trying to decide what to make for dinner
6:00 Sitting down eating dinner with my boys
6:45 Jack's bath time
7:00 playing with Jack
7:30 Jack goes to bed
The rest of the night is time to clean the kitchen, the living room and do anything else in the house that needs to get done. Ohh and I also like to spend time with hubby.

I realize that my schedule is not as bad as it could be. I only have 1 child and my work hours are not that bad. Except that if you noticed anything in my schedule it's probably that I'm not that great at preparation. I should get our breakfast and lunch together the night before. I should plan my dinners at least a week at a time. I should wake up earlier to get some stuff done around the house...but that's not me. At least not yet. I'm still a work in progress. So, please bare with me and know that even thought I'm not posting I'm thinking "Ohh, I should update the blog".

Air Jack

We got Jack his first basketball goal for Christmas...it was LOVE at first sight! When we put him to bed tonight he was holding his blanket and paci while softly whispering ball...ball...ball.

Jack, meet Santa...Santa, meet a crying toddler

This past Sunday we took Jack to La Cantera to have his picture taken with Santa Claus. As you can see below, the day didn't start off to well. Jack was not happy about...well I don't really know what made him so unhappy in this picture.


Can you see the look of fear settling in? He's got a good firm grip on my sweater.

If you can't tell he's crying in this picture. I almost wish they would have taken a picture of Kris and I trying to get Jack to stop crying and look at the dancing puppy or "silly daddy/mommy".


The final product;this is as good as it was going to get. At some point you need to know when to say "ok that's good".
