Meet Angus

Jack loves fish! It probably has something to do with my Dad building a fishing pond in the back of their land a week after finding out I was pregnant, and Jack has been fishing in it ever since he was born. Jack's school has a big aquarium in the lobby and we have to stop and look at all the fish everytime we pass by it. So, I got this great idea to get him his very own fish. Larry came up with the name Angus (Jack calls him Agus). He loves to check on him, wants to put his hands in his bowl and gave him a kiss before going to bed tonight...so sweet!

 

Animal Sounds

Jack picks up on things very quickly and has a great memory! Here's a video of him making different animal sounds. He knows more but we can only ask him to do a few before he gets distracted. He's been practicing them daily (for the past month or so) and I finally got it on video. My favorite sound that he makes is a cat. He gets this adorable, funny look on his face when he says "meow". At the end of the video, he even helps me count to 3...he's such a smart little boy!!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Things have been crazy and we have been super busy!! I've been traveling a lot for work and Jack and Daddy have spent a lot of quality time together. We've had birthday parties, getting ready for football (Go Cowboys), Jack got his first stomach bug (which took all of us a few days to recover from - not fun) and we've been spending a lot of time outside before the summer ends. On September 15, Larry and I celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary. We haven't been on a fun trip together (just the two of us) in a really long time so we decided to go to San Diego for a few nights. We had so much fun and that was a much needed trip! Jack stayed with Mimi and Pop and had a blast! We got back yesterday and we were so happy to see our little man. We have no plans this weekend and can't wait to hang out and do something fun together. Here are lots pictures from the last couple of weeks and our trip to San Diego.

Mimi & Pop bought Jack his first pair of boots and he wants to wear them all the time...pants or no pants!


Yep, he still loves hats (more to come on the bike helmet)!


Our first night in SD, we went to the Gaslamp Strip Club Steakhouse (it's not what you think; it's a restaurant) - everyone grills their own steaks.


The bridge to Coronado Island.


The weather was amazing so we took a water taxi instead of driving across the bridge.


Larry getting in the water...it was way to cold for me!

On the beach - behind us is the Hotel Del (one of the first hotels to get electricity...its old but very nice)!
