Graveyards...


Yes it is time for "US" to start the night shift again for three months. I get to sleep alone.. well with the boogeyman that I imagine is roaming my neighborhood at night. I don't get too much sleep but Jace seems to like it okay. He gets to watch movies and take occasional naps when the shift is slow.. I get to stay up all night thinking of the masked man who undoubtedly knows I am home alone and unarmed. He looks forward to this shift.. I tend to dread it other then the fact that we do get to see him a little more often and he is a little less grumpy due to the cat naps at work. I can't wait til its time to go back on days.. but I do appreciate how hard Jace works to take care of us!

Toy Story 3




We Loved it! Jack is obsessed with Toy Story so we decided that we'd take him to the theater for his first movie. It was in 3D and we were worried he wouldn't keep the glasses on... he did for the most part. Jack still needs to learn that you can't shout out in the middle of the movie when you are at the theater, but other then that it was a success. I don't think Jack has ever eaten that much popcorn or drank that much Root beer in one sitting!

Twin Rocks at Capitol Reef National Park. I have never seen views quite like these!

Jack and Mom



Grandma trying to get Jack to sit still for two minutes.. unsucessful.


Possibly the only time Jace Jack and Grandpa smiled the entire trip. It was so buggy we were all miserable and ended up leaving a day early.


Jack digging in the dirt. He is definitely a boy!

Digitally Scrappy

Jack is turning two.. I made the invitations, now just to print and send them out. We are so excited my Mom and Grandparents will be in town!

Photography...






I've always thought Jack was the cutest kid in the world.. okay so I'm a little biased. Lately he has started getting a little camera shy ( I know almost impossible to believe if you know Jack ). He is more interested in taking the pictures and playing with the camera then actually having his picture taken. I've toyed with the idea of trying to take Jack's two year pictures (he'll be two in July...scary!) on my own.. I've always like the idea of some artsy fartsy pics of him.. but truth be told I'm not that artsy fartsy. I've entered a giveaway @fennphotography.com, keep your fingers crossed for us! Worst case scenario we take him to Grandma's backyard. Here are some pics from the past of our cute little stinker.

I caught a fish!!






Jace likes to spend his extra time in the Summer going fishing.. which up til now left me and Jack at home bored out of our minds. So we decided to take Jack and see what he thought about it all. At first he sat with his "Fishing Pole" quietly until he realized that fishing involves a lot of waiting and watching.. so he gave up in pursuit of throwing every single rock on the shoreline into the lake. Jace's first catch scared Jack because it splashed around so much and jumped off the hook in a successful escape attempt. The second one Jace caught Jack got excited about and wanted to grab it out of Jace's hands. He touched it and said "ewww!" then he told me "I caught a fish!" Jace is so proud that his son has taken up the sport with him, and everytime we get in the truck he asks "Go Fishing?"
