Pumpkin Patch

Last night we spent the night at the Pumpkin Patch. We enjoyed the hayride, picked out a pumpkin, and ate some chili. It was a great way to enjoy a beautiful Fall evening!

Saturday at the Park

The weather is FINALLY cooling off! We spent Saturday morning at the park with my friend Darcy and her boys. Although they are a bit older than Jack we had a blast. They taught him how to swing, play on the equipment and they even brought some sand toys.

Ian also wanted to try:)

It's a bird, it's a plane...It's Super Jack!!!!!

No it's not his Halloween costume, just some super cute PJ's:)

CALI

Over my Fall Break we had a chance to go to California. We had such a busy week but it was great to spend time with friends and family! Adam was able to join us for a few days. It was really hot and then really cold and rainy. While there we visited Santa Monica, Disneyland, The Aquarium of the Pacific and got to celebrate Brooke's birthday.

Grandpa, Adam, and Jack and myself at Brooke's surprise party...

I know I am not supposed to drink this...but it looks like fun:)

Disneyland

Over my Fall Break we had the chance to take Jack to Disneyland for the first time. I always thought it was a waste to take a baby to Disneyland. Boy...was I wrong!!!!





















Jack loved going on the Monorail, It's A Small World, and the rides in Toon Town and Fantasy Land.














He especially LOVED the Buzz Lightyear ride:)

The best part of the day was when one of the rides was over and he cried because he wanted to ride again, so the sweet lady let him ride again...he is already trying to get what he wants:)

Adam turns the big 3-0!!!!!

Welcome Fall....the weather was actually in the low 80's today:)

September 2009

Where did September go? Things have been crazy around here. With the Mercury in the play-offs Adam has been working tons and I have been keeping busy with work as well. Jack has been trying to "walk", but only while pushing his toy. I think it will still be awhile until he walks on his own. Jack and I had a chance to go to the NICU reunion at the new children's hospital and that was a lot of fun.







Tugger and Jack "hanging out". This is where Tugger goes when he isn't getting any attention:)

Jack "walking" with his push toy!

Jack is 10 months old:)

It is hard to believe that Jack is 10 months today! Grandma and Grandpa Dames are visiting for the weekend. Jack still isn't quite ready to stand on his own yet...but soon. He crawls so fast and his poor knees are raw. He is eating more and more solid foods though, I don't think this child has refused any food!!!!








Grandma, Grandpa and Jack hanging out at home!

Jack's new toy from Grandma and Grandpa. Everytime he pushes a button a new song comes on:)

To celebrate being 10 months old we picked up some Sprinkles cupcakes. Okay it was just an excuse for me to have some...who knows maybe Jack can have 1 bite:)

Jack in his ASU gear, for the first home game of the season! We cheered on at the hotel while Daddy was at the game. It is still too hot for us to attend:)

Weekend at the Pointe

This weekend Grandma and Grandpa Dames came to visit! They treated us to a weekend up at the Pointe Tapatio Cliffs. The weather was so nice. On Saturday we actually didn't even get to the pool because it was overcast. On Sunday we spent the day at the pool. Jack loves to splash and kick in the water:)

Daddy and Jack playing in the pool!

Grandpa and Jack having a pillow fight, just wait until Timothy can join in the fun too:)

Well this week has been so hot! To top it off Jack had his 2nd ear infection:( He seems to be over it now. Last night when we were at dinner Jack decided to become Mr. Happy Jack and began greeting the people that passed by our table. He started to waved as they passed by...yet another milestone. If you could of seen Adam and I, it was hilarious as he hadn't really waved at us yet. Today Adam had his Fantasy Football draft, so Jack helped him out. If you notice Jacks shirt says, Daddy's #1 Draft Pick!

Videos of Jack eating whipped cream and waving:)

Can't believe our boy it almost 10 months old! He has been adjusting nicely to going to day care every day. He LOVES it:) When I drop him off in the morning, he just plays with his friends and doesn't even look back. The best part is when I pick him up each day...he gives me the biggest smile, it melts my heart. Things Jack likes to do:
-pulls himself up on everything
-climb on things (the other day I found him standing on top of the CD player in his room)
-chase Tugger around
-almost ready to stand by himself
-sometimes will wave goodbye
-is very vocal, he loves saying "da-da"

Today Jack got his first hair cut, he was a rock star! He didn't scream at all, just laughed and smiled...

End of Summer

What a great summer we had! I can't believe it is over. We had the chance to travel to Palm Desert, La Mirada, Seattle, Kauai, and then back to Cali. We have been home for about a week trying to get caught up on things around the house, hanging out with friends and getting ready for me to head back to work this week. Jack starts day care on Monday but I am very comfortable with his daycare provider.

Jack being the bully already...pulling on Spencer's ear:)
Starting a little too early with the Dos Equis:)

Why is Spencer playing in my toy?????

I LOVE climbing on Tugger...so much fun:)

Crying Jack

Nobody believes us that Jack cries. On our car trip home from CA we caught it on video. He was so done with being in the car! So yes he does cry....we have proof:)

Cali-Part 2

Adam was able to come to CA towards the end of our trip! It was nice for his to escape the heat as well. Adam and I got to do some things on our own while Jack spent some time with Grandma and Grandpa.

Jack playing the piano with the help of Grandpa!

Jack figure out how to climb on top of this box.

Adam and I spent the day at Laguna Beach. It was so crowded and the waves were so BIG! We end the day with margaritas at Las Brisas....such a nice day to spend together

Cali- Part 1

It has been so hot in Arizona lately...what's new? Jack and I decided to go to CA to stay with my parents for a couple of weeks while Adam stayed home and worked:( We enjoyed spending time with family, catching up with friends and enjoying the much cooler weather. We had the chance to go swimming a lot, enjoy a concert in the park, and going on different adventures each day.






Jack playing with Grandma's bowl in the kitchen!















Jack in his aloha shirt at church...















Jack wasn't a big fan of the grass, he hated the way it felt on his hands:)















Connie and Pax came to spend some time at my parents house, it was so nice to see them!
