jack fell asleep within 15 minutes of picking him up after his weekend at mimi and papa's (who he called pop and mim)

i gave blood for the first time!! it really wasn't that bad, but i was super nervous! i was proud of myself for facing a fear

charlie loves black beans

this is jack's valentine's for his class

charlie ate gummies for the first time

this one is out of place, but it is from our park day

Airwalk

We went to the newest place to play a few weeks ago and had a blast!

iPhone pictures (potty and more of Johnny's bday)

last tuesday at mama and me charlie decided that he wanted to try to sit on the potty so i let him...nothing happened but he was super happy and proud. when we got home he wanted to try on our potty and nothing happened again. then that night i saw him grunting so i said do you want to go potty and he ran for the bathroom. he has gone poo poo on the potty almost every day since last week. i am not rushing it...we are just letting him try it out and he is super proud!

last week charlie helped me with the bulletin board in our sunday school room. he fell asleep on the way there and stayed asleep while i worked

charlie likes scrambled eggs

charlie went down the slide all by himself about 20 times

vroom

jack went to grandma's house on friday night and had a blast! we decided to go to the zoo with just charlie saturday and let him see the birds...he loves birds!

we celebrated johnny's birthday at grandma's house saturday night...she made a lemon head cake!!

i think jack thought johnny looked silly :)

Johnny's 30th birthday

i made a sign for johnny that has pictures throughout his 30 years

 for some reason this is the only place that blogger will let me type other than under the pictures...so this is a little out of order, but we had a party for johnny on saturday night. we had a "beer tasting" party. everybody brought their favorite beer and then we had small cups so everybody could taste all the different kinds. we also had lots of pizza and coconut cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. i was a little disappointed with them though. i didn't take a picture of the party or the cupcakes :(

jack decorated johnny's chair. he got a pair of shoes, some reese's cups, soft peppermints and jelly belly's for his birthday. the boys made him cards too. i also made him some of his favorite cookies...white chocolate chip and craisin oatmeal

we decorated during charlie's morning nap...on a side note, we went out at 8:30 am to get johnny a card from me and a balloon (before the snow). jack picked out an angry birds balloon and then it blew away when we got to the car. he almost started to cry so we went back in to get another and publix was so nice to give us one for free!

charlie painted the 3 and jack painted the 0

we were going to go out to eat at chez fon fon, but the snow kinda ruined that. we were going to get a nice dessert there so we made the cookies a "cookie cake" 

Snow day

the boys watching the snow...jack noticed it first and was super excited

my mom said that charlie's face looked like he didn't know what to think, but he really did like it

when we walked outside jack said he wanted to catch a snowflake on his tongue :)

my across street neighbor took this picture for us

making a snowman (notice all the cars on our street...they couldn't make it up the hill so they were parking and walking home...the white car was a lady from boston who knocked on our door asking if she could leave it there...of course i wasn't going to say no! anyway, she said that she is used to driving in snow, but couldn't drive in this...that made me feel better about the southerner's driving bad in snow)

the finished product!

Jack pretending to be a wild Kratt

Jack loves his creature power suit that andrea and Clara made him. He wears it all the time and even wants to leave the house in it...it is rare for jack to leave on a costume for a long period of time.

we went to the zoo on saturday and he was a lot of different animals (large mouth bass, chameleon, kangaroo...)

he was a large mouth bass and standing by the large mouth bass (even though you can't see it because of the reflecion)

jack loves to pretend to be the chameleon. i think he really thinks we can't see him. the other day he asked if i could see him and i said no, but i could see his eyes because they were open. so when we got to the zoo he asked if we could see him and he closed his eyes! it was so cute and made me laugh everytime! do you see the pure joy on his face???

i think pretending to be a wild kratt and a chameleon is like the best thing ever to him right now because his favorite show is wild kratts and his favorite movie right now is tangled.
