Another Month of Birthdays

I really need to stop having all these birthdays at once. No, no, I'm kidding of course. March was such a busy month. Jack had a birthday and Duncan had a monthday. 

First things first. Jack turned 7. SEVEN!! I know, I can't believe it either. He's growing into such a fun, funny, intelligent boy. He's a lot - a lot -  like Scott. Computers, Star Wars, LEGO, did I say computers? Oh, and Star Wars...


Don't Worry, It's A Light Side Cake
 We had a fun birthday lunch. It snowed about 14 inches, but Grandma Pat and Grandpa Gary trudged over and enjoyed macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets, and cake.

First Try
 His checkup went really well and he's still growing so we are not worried about that too much anymore. He was 41 lb and 48 inches tall! He has a great laugh, and loves to tell a story to anyone who will listen. Quite the talker, this one.

Big Smile
 Meanwhile, this guy is six months old. Time sure does fly when you're having fun. We have to laugh when we go to Duncan's checkups with the pediatrician. He laughs too, because he knows all our boys. Somehow,some mystery genes have trickled through the gene pool into Duncan. While his brothers are all just eking by at the 10th percentile or less for their height (you know, like their folks...), Duncan here is at the 85th percentile. What the heck?!? I already have him in 6-9 month clothes because he is so long, and has long feet as well. I mean, I know there are tall people on both sides of the family...it's just a surprise. Genetic Mystery. I guess the youngest one needs an advantage of one sort or another. The good Lord provides, LOL.

He was a Long Tall Texan...well not really
 Otherwise we are all doing really well. Winding up the school year and excited for a summer break, and to finally go to Nonie and Papa's house which is almost finished!

Thanks for stopping by. Until next time!

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...
