A day at the sleddin' hill

Look at those baby blues!

All bundled up and ready to sled

Cold Cold Cold

Sleddin' wih G-pa

Yes, MORE pictures!

I finally have a picture of him smiling with me! Usually he will smile and laugh and all that cute stuff, until I get the camera out, then he gives up. Not this time! I got'm!!!

What a cheese-ball!!

He carries his toys around like this most of the day. He'll put them in the pantry and the cupboards also.

Spending some time with Dad at the Ranch. Hmmmm.....who did Jack get his eyebrows from???????????

Jack's version of sticking his tongue out.

If only I had that kind of zest at 6:30 in the morning!

This is his thinking face. He's thinking about what naughty thing he's gonna do next!

"Reading" books is hands-down his favorite thing to do. He'll sit quietly like this for a very long time. He's got a bin of books in every area of the house. I'm hoping he'll stay a book nerd.

Spooky Halloween

We waited until Halloween Day to go to the Pumpkin Patch to get a few pumpkins and a wheelbarrow ride. Jack really liked the tractor.

He really did not like the hay. He's not crying, he's throwing a tantrum. He figured out how to do that last Monday. Yipee!!

Cute! Cute! Cute!

I couldn't get ONE dang picture of him smiling in his costume. So this is what he looked like. Still adorable though.

My little spider. Spider-Monkey!! We Trick-Or-Treated in my parents new neighborhood. Neighbors hooked us up!! I'm telling you East Lake is where it's at! Most of the houses were handing out candy bars. Next year we're gonna Trick-Or-Treat a lot longer! We only went to like 15 houses and we've got mass amounts of candy. Good thing I'm hitting the gym now!

My First Triathlon

Transition from running to biking (notice there's hardly anyone left..haha) I must be cheering myself on for not giving up! I was sicker than a dog the whole day before. I'm just glad I completed the race. I started training about 9 weeks ago and stopped training about the same time. Next time I'm going to train better so I can actually enjoy it! They cancelled the lake swim portion of the race because they found roundworm in the lake so they bussed us all in waves to the pool and we swam a measly 75 meters and then ran a mile to the transition area where we then biked about 12 miles and then ran 3 miles around the lake. I'd like to thank all the roundworm peeps for which I was able to complete this race. If it were not for their roundness I would have had to swim WAY more than I was in shape to do. So thank you roundworm!

My photographers for the day!! Gooooooo MOM!! Thanks Mom and Dad for coming out and cheering me on! And thanks to Andrea for volunteering! Next year you're gonna be swimmin' in that lake I just know it!!

11 months and counting

The blessed day I got to bring Jack home from Primary's.

Newborn pictures taken at 3 months!! At least they got done!

First Mother's Day

My sweet wonderful child

So I have been a mom for 11 months now. Time flies when you are having fun! My favorite part about being a mom is that no matter what I look like (sans shower) or if I make mistakes, that Jack still loves me and thinks I'm the coolest thing that ever happened to him. I know he's the coolest thing that ever happened to me! I hope I can continue to be as good of a mom to Jack as he needs and that I can continue to LOVE being a mom. It's hard to believe that 11 months ago we were on our way to be induced. If I had to do it over again I'd definitely get the epidural BEFORE they started pushing the Petosin, not 6 hours later, but hey, you live and learn. This is typically a post moms do on or around their 1st birthday, but I like to do things backwards, and I figure I'll be pretty busy right around his actual birthday. I'd just like to say that I love being a mom, I love my Jack and I can't wait to see what kind of person he grows up to be.

Found this Old Video of Jack at 4 Months Old

Fun Summer!

My mommy makes fun of me because whenever I sit on the floor I have to have my ankles crossed.

Vegas, Baby, Vegas!!!

Me and Mommy in Vegas at our pimpin' hotel!

We picked up this snake at the Rainforest Cafe and it really likes me, I think it wants to eat me!!!!!
