He is the most perfect little love bug!!

B is for Birthday!

Jack had a wonderful 2nd birthday! It could not have been more perfect! I can't believe I have been a mommy for 2 years now. Jack is the best little guy a mommy could ask for. He is so loved, not just by us, but by everyone in his life.

Jack is 2!

Let him eat cake!

Ewwww, Mommy, help!

Chucky Cheese... yes, he is still to young, but we had fun anyway!

Happy Birthday Son! We love you!!

His party will be Sunday, but we have decided that when his birthday falls on a weekday we will have our own special party with just Mommy and Daddy and soon Tyler too!

For my Nanny

This poem is for you Nana

For all the ways you loved everyone

For your smiling face

For all the silly things you'd say

For being a great Nanny, Wife and Mom

This poem is for you

For kisses, hugs and long phone calls

For promising to "dance at our weddin's with a cowbell on"

For the BEST fried chicken and butter beans

For sleepovers and late night talks

This poem is for you

For being you

For your kind heart

For your five daughters, our wonderful Aunts and Moms

For waiting, so we could all say goodbye

This poem is for you

We love you Nanny!

~Leah and all your Grandbabies

We Love You Nanna...

LOVE THIS PIC! This is our Nanny!

Our Sweet Nanny

"Come on over here and give your Nanny some lovin!"

Nanny, we love you so much.

You will be missed, remembered, and loved forever.

Greasy Jack... and no, I'm not talking about the burger.

Sometimes you just have to laugh and go get the camera!

Jackson was out of my sight for about 2 minutes. I was trying to pick out something to wear and when I came out of my closet Jack had just walked in our room. He looked up at me and said "paint." It took a second for my mind to register what I was looking at. I kept saying "oh no, oh no,oh no,oh no." I ran for my camera, he didn't want to pose for me but I got a few. The pictures do not convey the mess people. He was covered, head to toe, in Vaseline.

My little mess maker!

After about 7 washes with dish soap and bar soap, I still had a greasy little man.

I decided to give up and go to town to buy some Dawn.

Luckily I was able to find a hat for him to wear to town. I didn't want anyone thinking I meant for him to look like that!

So I bought Dawn and washed his hair about 5 more times... didn't really work.

A friend posted on FaceBook that her friend had the same thing happen and she used baby oil to remove the Vaseline. I thought this is a crazy idea! How could oil remove grease?? Well folks, it does!! If you ever find yourself with a vaseline covered child, get out the baby oil and the dawn and go to work!

Oldies but goodies!

Cute Boy!

Sunshine = Happy

Playing out in the sunshine!

Sun, sand and a drink in my hand!

Sunny snack time!
