Handsome Jackson

Eyes just as big and beautiful as ever..

We have spent so much time at the Bear Lake house this summer that we were able to get a lot of great photos of Jack at our home away from home. Here he is on Grandma Hart's famous tree swing.

In the apple orchard

We also have spent lots of time in the Bloomington Canyon. Jack loves to run in the trees and jumps out to yell "SURPRISE!"

((Okay well my little disclaimer here is that I realize this is a lot of information about one little boy, but I really write it mostly for myself. There are so many little things that I want to remember that I may go on and on sometimes, it just feels great to get it all written down. It all changes so fast. I'm so grateful to have an outlet that helps me do that :)))

• We have seen some tantrums, but all I can say about two is that there is way more good that comes with it than bad.
• He loves to dance, and can't seem to help himself when a good song comes on! He does a great robot (along with voice). He likes to watch break dancers on TV and does tricks with them, which consists of rolling in slow motion on the floor and ending in a pose.
• TV & Movies: Diego and Dora, Finding Nemo, Toy Story "to infinity and beyond!"
• Favorite toys: choo choos, dragon castle, Nemo, Buzz, Dinosaurs, and his GI joes "guys"
• Speaking in full sentences, understands and follows several commands or just says "No no no I don't want to!"
• Is very descriptive of things like "plane in clouds up high. Too far away....lights on it.."
• LOVES to read books! He climbs onto my lap with a book or just sits and reads them to himself. I can't buy enough to keep up.
• Sits on toilet and pretends to pee pee in the potty. Tells me whats going on in his diaper.
• Sleeps like a rock about 12 hours a night with a two hour nap. This kid L O V E S going to bed. He actually asks to go nigh nigh. CRAZY right?? He loves our little routine: book, brush teeth, say prayers, bottle and blanket. When we put him in he says "nigh momdad luff you." It is the best.
• If you didn't think I was spoiled enough..The kid eats so well, just about anything I give him and never really gives me any trouble.
• He can't get enough of the Bear Lake House and says "Way to go IDAHO!" He especially loves to go on the four wheeler. "weee haw!"
• Loves to go to "chuch" where Nick and I are in the nursery with him. He gets excited to wear a tie to be like daddy. He also now thinks that every man in a painting is Jesus ha ha.
• Loves sports. Kicks and dribbles the soccer ball. Throws really well.
• Spends a lot of time in the back yard and loves to run around with trouble. His favorite thing to do is to run across the yard, smack into the fence and fall down. He thinks its hilarious. Then he just lays in the grass and looks up into the sky.
