5 Years Today
Here's one of our old school pictures from Camp Ozark.5 years ago I married the love of my life. John is an incredible husband and I am truly blessed to have him in my life! I never thought you could fall in love with the same person over and over again. But it's true... because I have. When Jack was born and seeing John fulfill his role as Daddy... WOW! I fell in love with him all over again. Just over a month ago, we welcomed our 2nd child, Charlie Mack and once again, seeing John love on our boys, only makes me love him even more! John is not only an incredible husband to me, but an amazing Daddy to our boys! I can't imagine my life without him in it.
Happy anniversary John!

Happy Easter
After cleaning up from Jack's birthday party, John, Holly, and I decided it was time to get ready for Easter. I made some Easter cookies (just sugar cookies with pastel M&M's) and boiled eggs. Then the three of us decorated the eggs!
But we can be serious too. (sometimes)
I love him! He's the best Daddy and husband!
Easter morning we woke up to Jack feeling much better. His fever was down and it seemed that he had some energy back. After breakfast, Jack set out for another egg hunt. This time he had to find all of the eggs by himself.
Once the egg hunt was over, Jack's energy level went way down. He crashed on me while watching TV. I can't remember the last time he fell asleep in my lap. I hated that he felt bad, but I loved getting to hold our big boy.
After Jack's power nap, we got ready and headed to Grandpa and GG's house for Easter dinner and of course another egg hunt! After Jack's first egg hunt at my school, he really got the hang of it. By the time we were at John's parents' house, he was like, "Find egg... FOUND IT!". He knew exactly what to do. He just didn't care to carry his Easter basket around.
We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
We are so awkward!

Happy 2nd Birthday Jack Attack
Jack started his birthday weekend with some Daddy time. Daddy and Jack woke up SUPER early and headed to the coast for some fishing. From what I hear, Jack was not interested in sitting still fishing, but he did LOVE the bait bucket. He was the official bait boy! I get freaked out by using live shrimp to fish. I don't like how much they wiggle around when I'm trying to get one out of the bucket. Jack didn't seem to mind one bit.

We eventually got tired and needed a nap.
Jack was so cute. After they got back, he was still talking about fishing with Daddy. I know he will have so much fun each time he goes with his Daddy!
Saturday morning (Jack's birthday), Jack decided he was going to wake up at 5:00 in the morning on his own. I guess he was "too excited to sleep". Since we knew he wouldn't be going back to sleep anytime soon, Daddy got up with him and the two of them watched Toy Story 3. We attempted a morning nap, but with us getting ready for his party and family coming in to town early, he just couldn't get a nap in.
Once everyone started to arrive, you could tell that Jack was tired. He was clingy and wanted to be held. We didn't think too much of it since he woke up super early Friday for fishing, woke up early on his own this morning, and then didn't take a morning nap. However, the party went on. Jack got some awesome presents! Every single one has been taken out of the package and played with already.
You can tell he is tired here.
Everyone singing happy birthday.
After opening presents and eating cake, Jack and his cousins went for an Easter egg hunt in the backyard. Jack lasted just a few minutes and then he wanted to be held again.

Cousin Michael. I LOVE this kiddo.
Grandaddy and Charlie Mack. (Obviously the wrong setting, but still a cute picture)
Once everyone was gone, we noticed that Jack felt warm. We took his temp and it was 101.9. Poor kiddo, got sick on his birthday. He wasn't just tired, but feeling puny as well. :( After some meds, the birthday boy went down for a nap and slept for almost 3 hours. While he wasn't feeling well, I would say he enjoyed his birthday. Thank you to everyone who came and for the wonderful gifts! We are beyond blessed to have each of you in our lives.

Catching up on Random Fun this Month
As I stated in Charlie's One Month Birthday post, this month as flown by. Here are pictures of what's been going on this month!
Jack was in the 2-6 year old group. Now... those 5 and 6 year olds meant business. Jack did manage to get few eggs. After the big kids were gone, there is open eggs everywhere. Jack was just as happy picking up halves of eggs.
Jack swinging in the big boy swing.
You could decorate cookies. We skipped the decorating and went straight for the eating!
Jack has a new chore of helping Daddy with the yard. He's doing such a great job. He wants to mow every evening.
Jack has always been a wild sleeper. He is all over the place when he sleeps. This particular night, he had only been in bed about 45 minutes. This is how I found him when I went to check on him.
Jack's first time to "hold" Charlie. He was SO proud!
The boys playing in their room. Jack didn't understand why Charlie didn't take the horse he gave him.
Jack helping Grandpa blow out his candles. He's practicing for his big day on Saturday!
Jack LOVES hats! He wants everyone else to wear a hat too. We hear a lot of "Daddy hat?" "Momma hat?"
If Charlie is awake, Jack will be asking to give Charlie kisses. "Charlie kisses?"
Our two boys!
Cheese ball Jack with his dump truck.
Tomorrow, Jack is going fishing with his Daddy. He's so excited about going fishing and his life jacket!
One Saturday, Jack and I went to my school where The Foundry (a local church that adopted us) hosted an Easter Egg Hunt and other fun activities! Jack had so much fun!

Last year Jack, GG, and I went to Washington on the Brazos State Park to take pictures in bluebonnets. Since John and I were both off of work, we decided to take the boys this year. However, since we haven't had any rain this year, there weren't any bluebonnets. But that did not stop us from having a good time. It was nice to get out of the house and walk around. I know Jack enjoyed running around and playing in the dirt too. Here are some pictures from our time there.
All three of my sweet boys.
