someone's 2!!!!

It's hard to believe that on November 3rd this little guy turned 2!!

His big day started out like this:

with breakfast in bed

and a little love from "baby sydney" as he calls her.

then came the presents:

He loves his new bike, and his Elefun game, but mostly the bike. He rode it around the house for the next couple days before we took it outside.

The rest of afternoon was spent riding his bike, eating his favorite lunch (mac-n-cheese), riding his bike, napping, talking to family and friends, and of course, more riding of his bike.

That night we had pizza, another one of his favorites, for dinner.

Then finished the night off with some cake and ice cream. It was a nice and relaxing day celebrating our sweet little boy.

Jack definitely keeps us on our toes (as he always has).

Here are some things about our VERY curious and active little boy as he turns 2:

36 1/4 inches (91%)
26 lbs 7 oz (30%)
he's a jabber mouth. He talks ALL the time! And will pretty much copy anything you say, so watch out :)
he loves to read. His favorite book right now is "the fire engine book", and "I Love You Stinky Face" from one of his best buds that he misses dearly! We've read them so many times that he can pretty much read them to you.
he loves riding his bike.
he loves playing any sports he can. If you ask him what a quarterback says he'll reply with "down, set, hut, hut". Steve taught him that of course.
he loves shoes - putting them on and taking them off
he loves singing. We'll be sitting in church and a hymn will start and he'll quickly grab a book and start "singing" and trying to lead the music.
he loves watching blue's clues and Mickey Mouse clubhouse
he loves going to nursery at church. I think he asks at least once a day if he can go to church and go to nursery. And after every prayer that is said in sacrament meeting, he'll jump up and say, "time for nursery!!"

It really is hard to believe it's been 2 years since Jack came into our little family. He has brought so much laughter, excitement, love and much, much more into our home. And we feel so blessed to have him as our son.

We love you more!!

our sweet baby girl!

Sydney is such a happy and content baby. She rarely ever cries - usually just when she's hungry. She's even gotten used to her brother's crazy antics.

This is the face you get when you simply look at her.

How can you not help but smile back at a sweet face like that?!

fall is here!!

A couple days ago I looked out the window and saw our neighbors raking our leaves. I thought, oh that's so nice of them. A few minutes later the doorbell rang and they asked it jack wanted to come play in the leaves. I immediately flashed back to the fun times I had as a child playing in the leaves, so I quickly answered, "YES".

He was a little hesitant at first, but he quickly warmed up.

trick-or-treat

Ever since my mom gave Jack a book about Firemen and a fire truck, he has been obsessed.

So obsessed, that he wanted to be a fireman for Halloween. He ran around in his boots and hat for weeks before. He loved it!! And we thought he looked pretty cute!

Oh and don't forget about our little ladybug!!
