What Jack Says...

Jackson does a lot of talking, I mean A LOT!!! And, although lately I feel like he has only said, "No" he has also said some pretty funny things. He has definitely been keeping Chris and I on our toes. Always surprising us and never settling for the answer, "I don't know". Here are a few, "What Jack Says". (J: Jackson, L: me, C: Chris)

(notice the marker line on both sides of his mouth)

L: Jack, why did you write on your face? You can't write on your face!

J: Yes I can! I'm drawing a smiley face! (see picture above)

His version of the song "Thou Art Worthy"...

J: Now I worry, Now I worry, Now I worry Oh God!

"Mom, I like to sing. Is that my talent?"

He just let go of his balloon outside

L: Jack, you let go!

J: It's okay, it'll float up to heaven and God will get it for me. He will tie it to his wrist and fly it back down here.

While watching the sun go down

J: Where is heaven?

L: I don't know...

J: It's not far far away. It's too the west.

L: Why is it in the west?

J: Because God and Jesus pull the sun down to the west. And heaven is there. It is light in heaven.

While saying bedtime prayers

J: Thank you for Miley, she's my girlfriend. And Hudson, he's my boyfriend.

While eating salad

J: I don't like the sticks, (the stems) just the leafs.

While watching me put on my make-up

J: These brushes are like paint brushes.

L: Ya, Kinda

J: So you are painting your face?

L: Kinda

J: So, It's okay to paint on our face?

Jackson falls at the park

J: God wasn't watching over me, He let me fall!

While shooing away a fly

J: I can't get this freaking fly!

J: I don't see God. Is the door to heaven closed?

L: Well... I think its a gate.

While driving

J: What's your favorite song Daddy?

C: I don't know

L: What's yours Jack?

J: I'm singing right now!

L: Can you sing louder?

J: This is loud enough

L: Oh

J: If I sing louder I will hurt your ears!

6am on Chris' birthday

J: Happy Birthday Daddy, where's the party? I want cake!

At the Disneyland Gate

J to the gate lady: Are you my mother?

J's Grandma: I didn't steal him. He's my grandson! Why would you say that!?

Time for Something New

Well, It's been awhile. Awhile since I've posted anything. And I've come to the conclusion that I think I want to start blogging. I think. It has been something that I think about every once and awhile, when I want to share a cute picture, fun idea, craft project, recipe... ANYTHING. Or, when I want to just write, talk, vent, think, share... but I have never really gotten around to doing it. Part of the reason why is because so many of my friends have these wonderfully creative blogs that they do a pretty good job of updating regularly. I'm afraid that if I start blogging I wont be able to keep up with it, but now I'm to the point that I don't care. So, I might blog every day one week, and just one time the next. Who cares? I don't! ;) With that being said, right now, I'm going to start blogging! (Actually, our computer is broken (and has been for about 6 months) so I will be using Chris' as often as he brings it home from the office!)

What to write about first...

Jackson is in swim lessons right now. He is going to be 3 in November and for the most part has always enjoyed being in the water. But, after seeing his friend Baylor swimming like a pro he decided he wanted to "jump in and swim like Baylor". Luckily his buddy Hudson had just taken swim lessons and learned a ton so we knew exactly where to sign him up at. Mrs. Parker's house. He calls her Mrs. Mrs. Parker. We aren't quite sure why. He LOVES his swim lessons. Every day he practices floating on his back, diving for rings, scooping the ice cream with his hands and kicking his feet so hard he splashes everyone. His FAVORITE is jumping off the diving board. He talks about it all the time and requests to do it while there. My FAVORITE is watching him get thrown into the pool, turning around, and climbing out all by himself. I am so excited for him and proud of him. I just can't believe how big he is getting!

Here is a video of him getting tossed in and jumping off the diving board.
