Mommy is moving up!

Whazzzz Uppp everybody! Guess what, mommy got a sweet promotion today at work. She will be the new HR Rep at St. Mark's Hospital. Daddy says this is his ticket to staying home and play XBOX while mommy brings home the bacon; whatever that means. Anywas, if you see my mommy, tell her congratulations and super duper job sticking with it.

Also, I will be a tiger for Halloween, so if you see me on your doorstep trick or treating, don't give me Snickers and Twix. Daddy says that he will go through and pick out all the bad candy that I wont like, such as, Snickers and Twix's.

P.S. My daddy helped me write this, so don't think mommy is conceited.

Anyone there? I figure since mommy hasn't posted anything and really let the blog world down, I would get my chubby little sausage fingers on this computer and give you some gossip.

First off, I am going to be a big brother. Yep, someone to boss around and drool on. Mommy is due around April 1st, April Fool's.

We just got back from Hawaii and I spent a full 2 minutes in the ocean before I got scared of the waves and cried. But I did get some quality pool time in and worked on my tan. I didn't realize Hawaii was four hours behind Utah time, so I decided to wake up a 2 am. Needless to say, by noon, I was melting down and we only had 8 more hours to go. Luckily mommy & daddy spent a lot of money to hang out with me at the Polynesian Cultural Center while I cried and was bratty. I went to Pearl Harbor and was attacked by some Asian people, that kept telling me how cute I was and taking pictures. Mom & Dad were so perplexed that random Asian people would just kneel down and take pictures with me; I believe I could be the Asian Brad Pit. Finally we arrived in Kona where Grandma & Grandpa was. After a sweet week in Kona, we had to come home.

Any who, I hope my mommy downloads some pictures of the last few months from her camera, then I can post them. See Ya!

Ashley is a Educated Lady

Congratulations to Ashley, she did it and is a official college graduate. It was a long road, but Jack and I am super proud of her for stick with it through pregnancy, a baby and a needy husband. I can't wait until she is my sugar momma and I can stay home and eat sandwiches and bon bon's all day. Love you and we are so proud. Love you Mommy!

Best of Utah!

I just wanted to say congrats to Josh for being named, 'Best of Utah 2010 for Best Big Bang For Your Buck.' Well, they didn't really name Josh right out but he is over Utah with Lantis Fireworks and they listed his phone number, AND he is the best (I'm not being biased). Josh got a call today from someone from CityWeekly letting him know that he made the cut. Hopefully he will find out who nominated him for this cool thing. He will be on Fox Morning News tomorrow and on X96 for anyone who watches or listens during the 8am hour. Congrats Josh!!!!!!!!

Holy House

Help! I think Josh's dog, Makaila, is going crazy.

We don't know what to do. When she is home alone, she digs holes . . . into our walls. She has never done this before until two summers ago and she has been working on this hole here.Isn't it pretty

I'm afraid that this coming summer she will tear through the other side and we'll find her in our garage one day when we come home.
Back story . . .

We've had to close her doggy door to the outside world because she would tear open our chain link fence and get out. Yes, she would tear through metal fencing which has totally ruined her teeth. We think she would try to find Josh because she couldn't handle being left behind. One night she got out as usual but we could not find her for a week until our next door neighbor found her running along the street three blocks away from our neighborhood. So now to make sure Makaila stays around, she is a prisoner in our home. But really, I don't think she minds as long as she is with Josh, her master. My theory is that she has separation anxiety from Josh. But these episodes don't happen all of the time, it comes and goes, it is so weird. Then, I get home today from work, and she has started to rip up the molding outside our bedroom door.
Yes, that is blood smudged around it

We don't understand what is going on with her. Any suggestions would be fantastic!

Southern Utah Extravaganza

We went down to Southern Utah this past weekend to relax and to get out of town. But we should have realized that Jack was going to be a pill during the trip right from the beginning. The first sign was when we were going down the road to get on the freeway. Josh and Jack had picked me up from work and we were heading straight to St. George from there. I reached back and gave my child a ritz cracker bite and he started to gag a bit. Well that gagging led to him puking out the mass amounts of apple juice (which he loves) he just guzzled down on the car ride over to pick me up. It was ALL over. Ugh. Jack wasn't terrible, he was just really whiney which I cannot handle. Although, every moment I spend with Jack helps me realize more things about myself.
One- I have a lot more patience than what I thought I had.
Two- No matter what your plans are, a child can change those plans if they are in a bad mood.

(this picture is hilarious)

Three- Josh has less patience than I do. Well I guess that's not about me but I end up picking up some of the 'Patience Slack.'
Four- I never thought this was possible, but I CAN function even though I never get a full night's sleep. I envision a full night's sleep as the Holy Grail. Maybe it is something that only Jesus can give me. I mean, I realized that sleep was going to be tough to come by at the beginning, but c'mon Jack, give me a break here! (sorry, this subject is a sore one for me)

Oh well. Here are a few pics of our trip.

I have so many pictures of him trying to put his mouth on the bottle
but he couldn't get it, this one is the funniest one.

One of the happier moments of the trip
We ran into a squirrel on one of the trails in Zion's. It distracted Jack long enough to stop crying. Ah, memories.
This picture I imagine Jack flipping me off if he could
This one is a framer

Carzy Month

Hey guys,

I was just checking my stock portfolio and decided I needed to update my blog, I am following my mommy. Anyways, I finally got over the fear of crawling and I am all over the place; my favorite place to visit is the furnace vents, I like to play them like a guitar. I am also interested in the hall night light and electrical sockets, its weird, every time just before I get my hands on them to investigate, mommy and daddy come running over and tell me no; I guess there is something reeeeaaalllyy good in there so I will keep trying. I am also climbing on stuff and able to stand on my own. Today I got up in my crib and scared daddy as he came over to my crib, I was squatting down and then popped up and scared him, it was funny. Any was, I am going with daddy on his work trip to St. George and when he is done we are going to Zion National Park. I can't wait, we are going to stay in a cabin. I get to spend the whole day with mommy on Friday, I think I might get to go swimming for the first time if it is warm enough, cross your fingers. I am also really proud of my mommy, she is going to be getting her Business Degree in the next month or two, she really smart. I went to mommy's work the other day with daddy and had lunch, it was fun; here is a picture of me at the cafeteria.

Well, I will let you know how my trip went and post some pictures soon.

Peace out homies, Jack

Hey Guys

Hey guys,

I am back to blogging and ready to gnaw on the computer. Since my last post, I have been trying a lot of new things. I still am a fan of my oranges, but I have been shoving a lot of other things in my mouth, I find the messier the better. Mom and Dad got me a high chair, so I have been doing some more food experiments on the tray. The other day, I mixed a formula bottle with puffs and corn; delicious. Mom gave me some soft black beans yesterday, sorry to whomever gets to change me today. I love me some baby back ribs.

I am so close to crawling, but just can't figure to move my arm with my leg. Does anyone have advice on preventing rug burn on my knees, I think sub-consciously I am afraid of rug burn and that is why I don't want to crawl. I am rolling all over the place, daddy thinks its funny when I get stuck under the couch and he has to come get me. Any who, its nap time, so I gotta go. Talk to you soon.

It's Jack!

Hi Everyone, this is Jack. My mom totally sucks at blogging so I've decided to take over and let you know about me. I'm 7 months old and I weigh 20lbs. I love to eat mandarin oranges and sweet potatoes. I like to spit out all of my baby food and rub my hand all over my face because it's fun to see my mom try to wipe it out of my nose. I love to roll and I'm close to crawling and have two teeth in my mouth. Here are a few pictures of me because I'm the cutest.

This is my cute butt and thigh roles. The girls drool for me. No, literally, they drool.

Here is me and my cousins. Emery, the littlest, will be my favorite because she's my age. Boston is fun but he gets mad when I drool on his toys. Brynlee was one of the first people to make me laugh. She funny.

I know I got a lot of presents for Christmas this year, but this paper was sure good.

Here's me and Santa. He's cool, his beard was fun to hang onto.

I was a little freaked out here . . .

My mom dressed me in layers because it was really cold in beautiful Elko. PS, look how huge my hand looks here.

I'm tired of my mom always taking pictures of me.

My dad thinks that I am a Utah fan . . .

Here is when I first met my cousin Emery. I could crush her with my thigh.

Here is my massive foot. It's fuzzy because the camera couldn't focus right on it because it's so huge.

Here is the last picture for you.
I love the open shirt look. Now all I need is a gold chain and a tan and I will be ready for the "Jersey Shore."
