Other March happenings

I took Jack on his first date to McDonald's. It was a lovely outing. I can hardly wait for dollar drink days!

I love being back at work. It makes me cherish these moments even more. Time seems to stop and I am able to soak it all in. Church is crazy and it is just getting harder the older he gets. 

 

We smoothie every day or else this kid won't get his fruits and vegetables. 

 

Of course Jack was briefly under the weather. Oh well! More snuggles for us. 

Emptying the dishwasher with this kid is like a race. He usually empties it faster than I can put stuff in. 

Jack loves hummus but don't take it away from him or else... 

So excited to finally own a BBQ!!!

Thank you Denton for organizing the yearly March Madness Family Bracket. This year I picked my bracket under pressure. I could hear Jack waking up from his nap and had to work that night so I knew I had to get it done right then. I made my choices with out looking back. I was a little nervous when the games started as I had picked a lot of weird upsets. Turns out this was a great year and the games were so tight and intense. My bracket lead me to my first victory!! I am pretty pumped and plan to enjoy my bragging rights all year!

Happy 26 to Me!

The morning started with Jack sleeping in. It really was the nicest thing he could do for me. I was so excited because I was 99% certain what I was getting so Tim brought me my present in bed.

GO PRO!!! I am so excited to record our life. 

The rest of the day was spent relaxing at home, eating snacks and doing no house work! That night for supper I picked Asian Noodle Box. So delicious! We also went to Coco Brook's pizza the day before. I believe every good event should come with lots of food. 

25 was a great year but I am really excited to make this next year even better. 

Timmy turns 30!!

Timmy requested to keep the day low key and for once I actually listened to him. On birthday morning we woke up, ate pancakes and opened presents. Tim got a new board game called Caverna. It looks complicated but I am excited to learn! 

After work we went out for supper with the Wright's. Tim picked Chiantis. The food was delicious and Timmy got spoiled even more!

After supper we went back to the Wright's and had banana cream pie instead of cake. 

I am pretty lucky to have Timmy in my life. He works so hard in all aspects of his life. I am pretty proud at how fast he moved up in the bank. A bonus to be becoming a banker is that he manages our money and does a very good job at it. 

Tim is so patient with Jack and loves to play with him. Jack definitely knows who to go for for treats. 

Happy Birthday Timmy! I hope this new decade treats you well!! 30 looks good on you!

The rest of February

Grocery shopping with Jack is a full on exercise. He is very busy and curious. The other day while in Walmart he made it to the other side of the isle while my back was turned and hid in-between boxes. I almost had a heart attack.

I am really trying to get back in to shape but Jack makes it tricky!

Most days in February were super gorgeous so we spent lots of time out walking. We even went back to the old dog park!

Practicing using chopsticks!

This kid climbs and is into EVERYTHING! He loves to play in the pantry and bring me things he finds. 

I just can't get enough of this little monster. 

Jack loves to read books. Most days after his nap we snuggle in the rocking chair and he brings me different books to read. At bedtime one night he got to stay up a little later because he brought Tim a book and it melted his heart a little bit. 

Tim hid to eat some ice cream so he wouldn't have to share with Jack. 

I do love being back at work but it is really hard to walk out the door and leave the Jack man behind. I am in YW's right now so I am putting in a big effort to be at church on Sundays. It has actually been a blessing to take Sundays as a break and a time to relax. Jack can't function with out a nap so we usually spend time rocking in the mother's lounge. Work causes the weeks to get long and tiring so I really enjoy these moments where we just get to sit. 

Patient Zero

At the beginning of February Jack got the flu and it was awful. The carpets required cleaning and panda went on his first trip through the washing machine.

At the end of the week we had Jack finally feeling better again so we went ahead with a ski trip we had planned. The Dudley's came the night before and we ate treats and played games. It is always so fun when the cousins come! Unfortunately that night Tim and I fell ill with what Jack had. After both throwing up that night we powered through and did some skiing. 

My mom and Paul met us at the hill and although it was fun Tim and I were a little too sick. It was super windy and by lunch most of the hill was closed. Paul managed to get us our money back so it was really a win!

Unfortunately after coming in contact with Jack the Dudley's fell ill. This is not the first time Jack has shared germs others which is why he has lovingly be named patient zero! He seems to bring everything home from day home! Oh well hopefully his immunity turns the corner soon!
