Yesterday 85 of our closest friends and family came to celebrate Jack Jack's birthday at Highland Park and it was a big hit! I will post pics soon... little man had sooo much fun! His actual birthday is on Wednesday, January 28th... but we had to celebrate in typical "Jamie" style with a big bash over the weekend!Oh, and guess who took his first steps on Saturday!! It is so cute, he is now walking everywhere!

Chuck E Cheese's

Jamey teaching Jack how to play Ski Ball"Look dad... i can drive just like you!"
he LOVED this monster truck
"Look uncle B... this is how you drive"

"I am KING of the world!"

We took Jack to Chuck E Cheese this weekend for my friend Megan's niece's birthday... and wow it was CRAZY! i have to admit i was a little overwhelmed, the place was so crowded and very loud... i know i sound like an old lady saying this:) needless to say Jack had a blast!!

Elmo

Jack thinks ELMO is the funniest thing everBut he is not sure what to think of GIANT ELMO...
"Mom, get me outta here!"
Ever since Christmas, Jack has been mesmerized by the ELMO doll that my parents got him. So when I heard that ELMO was coming to visit our My Gym class this week, I jumped at the chance to take jack to meet him. Well, maybe it was the lack of sleep or genuine surprise of seeing 50 people jammed into our tiny classroom, but Jack didn't want to have ANYTHING to do with the GIANT ELMO! He just tried to run away and climb up the rock wall! Too funny:)

Baby Landon...

Baby Landon, Melissa, & Jack playing

Sorry it has been so long since i have written, i have been crazy busy planning a preschool Fair for the MOMS Club that Jack and i are a part of and Jack's BIG birthday party! Which right now we are at 100 guests, so hopefully this will be the best one year old party ever! This week, my friend Melissa & her 6 month old son, Landon, came over to play. He is seriously the happiest baby ever, so sweet and ALWAYS smiling! We had soooo much fun with them!

Jack had a GREAT first Christmas... needless to say i think we need a bigger house just to store ALL of his new toys! we had sooooo much fun watching him "attempt" to unwrap presents and play with the bows/ribbon! Oh, and i cooked for the first time EVER: honey ham, mac & cheese, salad, bread, and brownies. We enjoyed our Christmas day with my family, rick & his mom, charlie & candy, Krystle & Paul:) What a fabulous Christmas!! To all of our other family and friends that we did NOT get to see this year, we MISS you terribly and hope you had a great holliday... LOVE to you all!
