THIS IS JACK JACK

This little boy is so much fun! 

He seriously is the best little 2 year old!

He's got a huge personality, and tries to do everything he sees his big brother and sister do.

He has a bedtime ritual that includes singing 3 songs:

Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam

Popcorn Popping &

I am a Child of God

He tries to get us to sing more, and sometimes we do...but seriously so cute! Especially now that he is singing along with us when we sing to him. 

He's still in love with Thomas. But also loves Legos and playing on the iPad or iPod.

He insists on having ice in his water...what a diva!

Now that he's 28 months, waking up "dry" every morning, and doing the #2 like clock work, I'd like him to be potty trained. 

Do you think this is too soon? Too much for me to hope for?!?! 

Going on a Date Farm!

The past two weeks we've had Grandma Smith visiting us!

I had a couple business trips to take, so the kids got to be spoiled by Grandma while I was away.

During her visit we took a tour of a local Date farm at Martha's Gardens. We now know more than most of our family and friends all about how Dates are grown, harvested and eaten! 

The highlight of this adventure was the eating of the BEST Date Shakes in TOWN! We all agree- best ever (though none of us have tried anyone else's)! 

If you are lucky enough to come visit us, we will be happy to treat you to a Date Shake!
