Everyday Life

Everyday life for Jack is very fun and busy! He is either at home with Mommy or at Mama Becky's house playing while Mommy and Daddy are at work. Wherever he is, he is constantly singing, playing, learning, and being silly! He has the cutest personality and is constantly making us laugh.

Since I recently did a post about his new phrases and sayings, and some of his favorite things, here is a video of his new favorite songs, plus a couple of activities he loves to do these days...

Jake and Brooke's Birthday Party

Jack's cousins Jake and Brooke had a combined birthday party this last Saturday at Pump It Up in Pelham. Brooke turned 4 on October 19th, and Jake will turn 9 on December 24th, and they celebrated together with friends and family! Jack had only been in one "jump jump" thing last year at Blakely's 2nd birthday party, so this was his first real experience with multiple ones! He had a blast!

Just getting warmed up...

"Um, do I get cake, too?"

Halloween 2011

Halloween was so much fun this year! It took us a few weeks to figure out what we wanted Jack to be for Halloween, but it was decided when we were in Walmart a week before. He walked down the Halloween decoration and costume aisle, picked up a pirate hat, and said, "Argh!!" It was so cute, so we found the costume to match, and that was that!

The festivities started Thursday, October 27 at Boo at the Zoo. They had so many festivities there for everyone and we all had a blast. Jack got to play ring toss, ride a roller racer, dance, trick or treat for candy, and of course ride the train!

Halloween night! As soon as Mommy and Daddy could get home from work, we got Jack changed, fixed up our house a little bit to make it scarier, then headed around the neighborhood in search for candy!! He was so cute walking door to door and knocking asking for candy! He made sure to say, "Trick or Treat, please!" and "Thank you!" to everyone! Such a sweet and smart boy! We had so much fun this Halloween and made so many memories! We love our sweet little pirate!

Auburn vs. Ole Miss

Last weekend we headed back down to Auburn for the Ole Miss game. It was a 6:00 game, so we knew that meant a very long, but fun-filled day of tailgating!

We got out to the tailgate around 10:00 and Jack started playing that minute and didn't stop until we headed to the stadium at 5:00! He played golf and football all day, and barely stopped to eat lunch! A lady who tailgates with us has a 5 year old boy who came to this tailgate and Jack loved him and begged to play with him all day! We had a great time watching how well he interacted with another boy he just met.

Jack loved all the pre-game activities as normal, but was sleepy from no nap all day, so he wasn't as into everything as he was for the Florida game. He's even learned "God Bless America" over the last few weeks (thanks to Mama Becky), so we were hoping he'd sing it when the band played it, but he only sang a few words.

After the game started, he fell asleep in my lap for the entire 1st quarter! He woke up from all the crowd noise (of course), but was fully energized and stayed until the third quarter (a new record), then went back to the tailgate with Granna and Poppy.

Thanks so much to Mama Becky and Daddy Mer for the tickets, also thanks to Granna and Poppy for keeping Jack during the second half for us! We were very proud of Auburn's big win over Ole Miss and can't wait to go back down there for Homecoming when we play Samford! War Eagle!
