Jack Turns 3!

The rain and the cold meant the party was now inside. It was chaos but so much fun! All the boys who were invited were either stuck out of town or sick, so it was just Jack and all his girlfriends. He LOVED it! The pony was late because it got stuck in the mud and then got lost to our house, but when Bandit did show up, everyone got a ride. Jack said that the pony came from the football game. (I did order a black pony because he loved Peruna at SMU so much). Jack was also SO EXCITED that Diego came to his birthday party and gave him a turtle that he had rescued. Jack named his turtle Keiko which is what his word for turtle when he first made up his own language. More pictures are coming... I have to get the CD from my neighbor who took most of the pictures because I was running around keeping all the 3 year-olds occupied. :)

Thanksgiving in Connecticut

Every year, we go to Connecticut to Thanksgiving. Jack loved playing with his great grandparents and with all his cousins. While Mommy was running the 5-mile race, Daddy drank beer (no bloody marys this time) and ate the infamous Hamilton scrambled eggs with potatoes while Jack taught his cousins how the Cowboys play football.

Jack and Audrey

Jack loves to go to the SMU Football game with Audrey. :)

SMU Alumni Swim Meet

Every year at homecoming, the SMU Men's swim team has an alumni meet. This year, Jack was so excited to cheer for Daddy. Jim Raleigh and Jeff Foley also had their new fan club there, too.

Yee-haw!

Whenever we eat at this Mexican restaurant close to us, Jack has to ride the mechanical pony and mechanical chariot. His favorite part is trying to jump on and jump off while it is still moving.

Jack's First Basketball Practice

Jack was so excited to play basketball. He has the shooting down, but we still have to work on dribbling. He had basketball on Tuesdays and baseball on Thursdays. The pictures of baseball came out too dark. Jack bats left, throws right and tackles people to get to the ball. He loves it!

Quick Thinking

When I pick Jack up from school at lunch, he likes to roll in the grass and jump off the 3-stair entrance to the church with his friend, Wes. The other day, while jumping off the steps, Jack noticed that there was a tiny firetruck on the steps. When I told him to put it back because someone must have left it there, he said, "Mimi left it for me."
