Swing sets and getting ready for Easter

Happy child!

Hey! I found one!

And he's off to hunt eggs!

I love my potty!

It is almost April... which means the little man is about to be 2 years old! Isn't that crazy?! He is really a big boy these days! He talks more and more everyday. We can completely communicate with him these days and it's so much fun! He has also been using the potty most nights before bath time! 4 nights this week he tee-teed on the potty before bath! We are so proud (he is pretty proud of himself too!)
We finished Jack's new playset in the backyard this weekend! With some help from Daddy, Poppa and good friend Bryan, it is done! Jack LOVED playing with Poppa during construction! They are always so cute together! The swingset looks great and Jack has been so excited about it! He played on it last night for a long time! We also went to an Easter Egg Hunt in the neighborhood yesterday afternoon and had a great time! When it was time to hunt eggs, Jack took off up the hill with his basket and found 4 eggs (there was some competition for those eggs!) He was thrilled to see a treat in his eggs! He has been playing with Easter eggs in the backyard for awhile now but they have not been filled with treats! It really has been an awesome weekend! We ate pizza outside on Friday night and watched Jack's good buddy Lauren! WE grilled out with good friends on Saturday night and are about to take a nap on Sunday afternoon! It doesn't get much better!
We have two more Easter egg hunts this week and then family coming over on Sunday to celebrate Easter with us! It will be so nice! Grandbubba is coming in town on Friday and we can't wait!!! We love having him here! He is going to do a lot of the cooking for Easter (Which is always fantastic!)
April is going to be a very busy month for us! This upcoming weekend is Easter and Grandbubba in town, next weekend is Jack's birthday and Gigi will be here with us, the next weekend Nannie is coming to help watch Jack while I go to a trainng (we also have two birthday parties and a company picnic that weekend), and the last weekend we are headed to Pennsylvania for a wedding! Whew! It will be May before we know it!
We feel blessed everyday for our little life! Jack is so much fun!

Laid back at Nunno and Poppa's in my Thomas PJs!


We have had a great weekend! Jack and I spent most of the weekend at Nunno and Poppa's house since Daddy was at the race! The race is going on right now and so far it has been such a great weekend for Steven! We are so proud of him! We can't wait to have him home tonight!
Friday we went to the Zoo with Poppa! Jack had a great time and walked and played the entire trip! He was worn out when we left! He saw lots of animals, rode the Carousel, rode the train, played on the playground, had lunch and ran into one of his best buddies, Ryan! It was a fun day! Saturday we went to Rhett's birthday party at the Children's Museum in Gainesville! It was so neat and Jack had fun! Unfortunately, some of the plastic slides kept shocking Jack everytime he came down the slide. Usually it was Poppa getting the shock in return! Jack proceeded to hold his hand and tell everyone "It shocked ME!" It was too funny!
Jack and played and played so hard all weekend! He absolutely loves being at Nunno and Poppa's house! He asks about them constantly and loves being with them! We are blessed to have such wonderful grandparents!
Mimi and Papa came to visit last weekend while they were in town for a party! We loved having them and Jack was thrilled to visit with them too! He loves when Mimi tells him stories and "picks bugs"! Mimi clicks her nails together while she plays with Jack's hair! She did it to Steven when he was little and he still remembers it! Now Jack asks for it when she is around!
Jack and I met the girls for brunch today and he was a perfect angel! SO well behaved! I was very happy since that let me visit with my friends! I have such wonderful girlfriends and are so thankful for them in my life!

Jack is just growing up so much! He remembers so many things and is learning and talking all the time! He now counts to 14, he loves to color, he says his "whole" name - Jack Leonard all the time (it's too cute), he loves to talk about his friends, he is loving the nice weather so we can play outside! We start Music Class this Friday and he will love it again!
