first fourth


 hey buddy!
this last weekend was your first fourth of july.  though we know you won't remember it, we tried to make sure you knew what the weekend was about. 
the good stuff.
 friends. family. food. fun. 
and the freedom we have to enjoy all of these blessings God has given us.

                                                    
it was so nice to have daddy off to hang out with us the whole weekend!  we got to work on some projects that i (mama) have been bugging him about.  they were for you, so he was excited to do them :) ill post about those later...  but we didn't do much else besides enjoy our time together.   sunday we went to erhines for his bbq feast. 


you definitely are spoiled when you are there.  erhine bought you your first lawn chair so you would fit in with the guys when you visit.


lots of other friends were in town so, as always, you provided fun entertainment for them.



on the evening of july fourth, we packed up some goodies and headed out to katy to watch fireworks.






i don't think you were too impressed with the sites at first.  after all, we parked in the  h e b  parking lot.  but you loved playing with your flag  and you loved seeing more family faces.




you enjoyed a little watermelon.


your reaction to the fireworks did not surprise us.  
just a simple stare with no expression and a wave.  
we weren't too sure if you wanted to touch them or maybe you were trying to tell us
 "let's go already".




but as simple as this weekend was, as always, we enjoyed every bit of it because it was your first and we were able to spend it with you!   



we love you little man!

Wrapping Things Up! (according to Jack)

So just what did I do between my first Christmas and New Years?
I got to visit with some of the family and friends I didn't get to see for Christmas.
I pretended it was New Years 2011 with mama and daddy before they said it was bedtime.
It was my first night in my own room too. One of those new years resolutions I think mama made up.
It's not too bad, pretty comfy!
I went to my second wedding ever.
(I'm getting pretty good at these things)
Daddy pulled me out on the danced floor and swore it was all me.

Overall, I enjoyed it and I'm starting to let people know that a little more everyday with my smile.


Oh yeah, Happy New Years! It's gonna be a great year!
-Jack

Just A Few Favorites . . .



Rare footage of Jack enjoying his "tummy time."
It doesn't last long.



My how our time in the swing has changed.
He discovered it has a mirror and it actually is fun!



Helping Daddy work.
Daddy has been a hard worker this month. We l o v e having him home!



Just relaxing after a long day shopping.
He's working on being 'ok' in the carseat.
