My Best Christmas, EVER!

There have been many Christmas’s that were very memorable, such as the one where my whole family and I stood outside while my dad sprayed water from the garden hose onto the roof of our house in the hope that it would not burn down.  We had built the fire too big in the fireplace [...]

Love Jack’s Imagination

The way Jack plays sometimes just has me amazed!  He can be so imaginative and expressive.  When you see the picture, you’ll understand why I used the word “expressive”. Hopefully, you’re able to see his “mean” look (you can see it in much more detail by clicking on the photo to bring up a bigger [...]

Precious Moments – Mowing

The last year Jack “helped” me mow the yard.  Lauri captured this moment perfectly. Seriously, is there anything cuter than your son “helping” you work?!! I have always wanted to be a father.  As long as I can remember, that has been the case.  However, there was a long stretch in my life when I [...]

He’s a Natural

Jack seems to be a natural at so many things.  We were playing with Doug’s family (he’s my brother-in-law) and Jack just took over.  I think he has serious potential to be a rockstar! He never ceases to amaze me with figuring things out on his own.  And I’m not sure I’ll ever tire of [...]

Precious Moments

Lauri took this photo of Jack playing with some collection cars of mine, while wearing his pirate hat. I never cease to be amazed at how Lauri can capture such a precious moment!  But I’m even more amazed that Jack just keeps giving us these moments.  With Jack and Scott, I honestly can’t think of [...]

We’re gonna have FUN together

Jack does things that just put a HUGE smile on my face!  We were in Utah and I had to run to a Kawasaki dealership for some parts for my motorcycle.  When we got to the showroom, Jack immediately lit up and wanted to play with all the toys (MY kind of toys)!  But the [...]

More Precious Moments

I was swapping out the front plate on our car and Jack decided he would try out my impact (after watching me use it, of course).  He squealed in delight when he pressed the trigger.  He immediately stopped and said, in the cutest way possible, “Whoa!”.  That’s his way of saying, “Wow!”.  He then continued [...]

Snuggly Jack

I was going through my pictures and found one of Jack when he was sick awhile ago.  I’m glad that Jack is healthy now, but one advantage of when Jack is sick is that he gets extra snuggly. During this trip to Utah, Jack was having a really hard time.  He usually travels really well [...]

Precious Morning Ritual With Jack

About a month ago, Jack would see me getting ready to head to work in the morning and go camp at the door to the garage, waiting for me to leave for work.  Since then, he has perfected his routine. There are very few variations to his routine.  As soon as we say our morning [...]

Jack LOVES Water!!!

Lauriann just sent me this picture.  It was taken in the backyard of my parent’s home. You can tell by the picture how much Jack just loves to play with water.  He just flat-out doesn’t care how wet he gets.  If he had his way, everyday would be spent playing in water.  I can’t wait [...]
