Jack thinks morning sickness is hilarious. Every time I am sick he is right behind me to mimic after I finish. This actually came in handy when he had the flu and threw up in the toilet instead of on the carpet!! One positive side of morning sickness!

Boobies
Jay takes Jack to the pool on days that I have to work. They have a great time and always stay for hours. Today Jay had to bring Jack home early because Jack wouldn't stop pointing at all of the girls and saying, "Boobies!!". Our kid is a perv.

Le Bea!
We took a little trip down to Virginia Beach for Memorial Day. Since Jack now only speaks French, he calls the beach "Le Bea!". We have no idea where it came from, but he puts "le" in front of everything. "Le Puppy", "Le Poop", "Le Bobble" (drink), "Le Ball". It is very cute and we are encouraging it :)
Monday the beach was very crowded, but Tuesday we practically had it to ourselves. Jack LOVED the water and threw a fit every time he had to come out to eat or sunscreen. He didn't get the whole sandcastle idea, but he liked to dig.
My hot Jay. Good job keeping up on your hot bod :)
Jack passed out as soon as we got in the car to come home. He slept nearly the whole way. I guess the sand in his butt crack didn't bother him that much.

Love At Home?
Jack tries my patience every day. I vacuum the carpet, he smashes in some goldfish. I make him dinner and he launches a spoonful into my hair. I try to kiss him and he takes a swing at me.
I would love to say that our home is always filled with joy and happiness....a house of order and peace....but that would be a lie :) I really can't complain too much. Jack has really been an easy kid so far and Jay is home most of the time to help me. However, as Jack has gotten a little older and a little more independent, we are butting heads more often. What do I do? What happens when he screams at the top of his lungs and starts pinching my face and pulling my hair? What should I do when I ask him not to color on the table and he looks at me and smiles and slowly draws a huge line of crayon across it? I'm not sure what to do so I will do what I usually do when I have a hard time with someone. I will try and list his good qualities as a reminder of why I love him so much.
1. He has a GREAT fake laugh. Any time he wants someone to laugh with him (whether something is funny or not) he gets this huge grin and makes this really great guttural chuckle.
2. He has the cutest run I have ever seen. One arm stays kind of straight and the other pumps while his legs go as fast as they can.
3. He loves to sing. He calls it "ninging". He will point to your mouth and say "Ning!!"
4. He says "yuv you" and smacks his lips together when he is ready to go to bed.
5. He makes friends with everyone. The other day an old man was at the park sitting on a bench. Jack hoisted himself up next to him and put his arm around the old man. I am pretty sure we are going to have to have the talk about strangers soon.
6. He loves to swim....even when he is shivering and his lips are blue.
7. He barks every time he sees a dog.
8. He fixes things. The other day he was playing with the electric screwdriver. He was pretending to unscrew our vent. After a few minutes of pretending I checked on him and he had successfully unscrewed 3 of the 6 screws holding up our vent. He was so proud....I was horrified...and Jay was about to call the president to brag about our skilled child.
9. He loves Jay so much and wants to do everything just like him. He is Jay's mini me.
10. He has such a sweet and tender little heart.
There! I think it worked! Now when he gets up from his nap I can be a calm and loving mother :)

Jack is 2!!!
On Saturday, Jack turned TWO!!! Can you believe it? Soon he will be kissing girls and going to college. Well, let's face it, he already kisses girls....and boys for that matter.
We had a great birthday party for him with lots of our friends. Jack was thrilled to be the center of attention and played his part as the gracious host beautifully.
Jack got some really great presents from his friends. He loves his birthday and can't wait to do it again. I'm glad he doesn't understand how long a year is :)
After the party, Jay and I gave him his present. A very cool tricycle. Jack and his friend Demetrius helped Jay put it together. Jack was actually sad when it was all together. I guess he was having more fun with the screwdrivers and male bonding.
But, he decided his bike is pretty sweet.
Luckily working for a bakery has a few perks :) Jack got a beautiful and delicious cake! We sang happy birthday and he blew out the candle all by himself. He is so grown up! Enjoy the video!

I Need A Gun
There are a few things that I have on my Christmas list each year. New boots, a horse and a gun. In that order. Recently I have discovered that the gun is not just a want, but a need. I am not a gun control freak. In fact, I was born with a Cabela's catalog in my hand and feel that if you know what you are doing, they can be quite useful. Now for the reasons I need a gun....
1. The birds here start at 3:45 am. Not kidding. They chirp, they sing, they do mating calls, they basically make me use a lot more swear words than I like to admit. I don't like birds anyway. I think they are creepy. I think they are too fast, and I think they are show-offs (I'm a little sensitive about not being able to fly) I especially don't like them at 4 am. Here enters the gun. Just a few shots should scare them away and allow me a little more sleep. Am I wrong?
(******Note: If Virginia would cut down some trees, that would certainly help also. Then they would have to live somewhere else....but I digress...)
2. If we lived in a tiny town like Salmon, ID., I wouldn't feel as much necessity for a gun. However, we live in the outskirts of DC in a miniature ghetto. This morning 5 police officers broke down the door to the apartment across the hallway....guns out and ready. They brought out our neighbor in handcuffs in his underwear. While we found this a mite amusing, I realize our neighbors are nothing like Mr. Rogers. So, a gun for a little protection may not be the worst idea. I feel like my candlesticks would be ok for hand to hand combat, but a gun would be better for the scare factor.
3. Lastly, if the world ever does come to an end and the grocery stores are empty and everyone is looting, I would like to feel that I could keep my family meat-stocked in the wild :) Turkey and pheasant mostly....thus helping the bird overpopulation.
And there you have it. So, if any of you know Santa....or a Cabela's rep....you know what to tell them :)
