Andrew and Jackson's 2nd Birthday Party

Two of Jack's friends Drew and Jackson turned 2 in May and June so their parents threw them a joint 2nd birthday party at Drew's house with a Hotwheels theme. The kids enjoyed a yummy lunch and then played in the playroom and backyard for awhile and had a blast. When it got too warm outside they came inside for gifts where they all fell in love with the bubbles from Drew's bubble gun!! Then they had some yummy cake and played some more. After the party was over were were hanging out at the house and the guys decided to have a lil dad's night out and meet a few other "dad" friends, so Jack and i decided to hang with Stefanie, Drew, and Jacob for a bit and then our friend/Stef's sister Aly and her new lil guy Leo joined us too. Well Jack and I ended up being stuck there cuz Jay had the only set of keys so we hung out and ate dinner and the boys played together and had a blast and at one point Stef and Aly's mom Susan joined us too so we just hung out and snuggled the infants and played with the toddlers till the dad's got home!! We had a great time with some awesome friends celebrating birthdays!!

Visit to Charlotte to See Megan

Daddy (Jay) had plans to go to Atlanta, GA to see Peter, a friend from college and to try and get tickets to see Conan, so Mommy and Jack decided to go along for the ride and have daddy drop us in Charlotte to spend a few days with Megan and Ella. We had a blast while we were down there playing with Ella, taking Ella on walks, going to see Fran and the girls, going to a Fun Library in downtown Charlotte that had lots of fun things for Jack to play with. All in all it was a great trip except on Monday night Jack got sick with a stomach thing and spent the whole night getting sick. It broke my heart and i felt so bad for him. We pumped him with some pedialyte the next day and then later in the afternoon Jay came to get us and we headed home. We spent the next few days just hanging out at home and letting him recover. He was so pitiful!

Sweet lil Jack found some beads to wear!

Poor lil guy the day after we got home just wanted water and cheerios and TV and extra snuggles from mommy!! And all he wanted was milk but mommy made him wait a few more days for that!!

Elmo Live

Aunt Courtney was given 2nd row seats for Elmo Live so Aunt Courtney, Mommy and Jack attended the show and Jack really enjoyed himself. Before the show started he was dancing in the aisles to the music. When the show started and the characters started to come out from the sides of the arena and on to the stage he wasn't quite sure what to think of all that because it was very loud. As time went on he started to clap and dance and giggle at them. He got to shake hands and give high fives to quite a few of the characters in the show...unfortunately Elmo did not make his way around to shake hands with anyone because I'm sure things would have gotten crazy!! At the end they shoot out confetti stuff and Jack thought that was so fun and started reaching to grab as much as he could.

Courtney's Bridal Shower and Nana and Mott's Visit

Today was Aunt Courtney's Bridal Shower put on at her neighborhood clubhouse by her bridesmaids. While the ladies were all at the shower Jack spent the afternoon with Papa, Jonathan, Uncle Greg and Uncle Jim. It sounds like he was quite the entertainment and enjoyed playing with everyone!! A little while before the shower ended they guys came to the shower so Jack could make an appearance and see some people. Courtney's flower girl Ashley was so excited about Jack and she got him to sit in her lap and let her hold him while Courtney finished opening her gifts. Then after we got the shower all cleaned up and the stuff brought back to Courtney's house we headed back to Gramie and Papa's to hang out and spend time with the Motts and Nana who Dad has surprised us all with her visiting for the long weekend. After a much needed nap in the guest bedroom Jack was quite the entertainment and had a blast with the Motts and SNana!! It was a wonderful day and we all had fun getting to spend time with everyone!!

Airport Observation Playdate

We joined some of our friends from our playgroup at the Airport Observation Deck for some plane watching and playing in the Sand. Jack enjoyed being able to play in the sand at the same time as looking at planes. What more could a boy ask for...of course he had to climb up the ladders on the piece of play equipment that looks like a spider. After the airport we went to Gramie and Papa's to ice the cake and cupcakes for Aunt Courtney's bridal shower on Saturday with AJ. While we were there we got a surprise from Snana Sprissler so we stayed and spent some time with her.
