Heat Wave!

It was 90 degrees this weekend so needless to say we spent lots of time outside. I'm pretty sure I should probably just set up a tent at the tot lot b/c I'm there at least twice a day!

Jack's new wagon I scored for 10 bucks!

at the zoo with Kacy Claire...chillin after a long weekend!

Hangin out....

We had a great weekend hanging outside enjoying the beautiful weather. We are pretty sure we're going to spend most of the summer pushing Jack in his swing, blowing bubbles and chasing him around the neighborhood. He loves to be outside!

Baby Ella came for a visit on Friday....Jack looks like the jolly green giant next to her!
"Joe Cool" chillin on the deck w/ his sunglasses upside down!

Easter Weekend!

Easter Saturday we went to Aunt Meg's, Uncle Danny's and Molly's to visit with the Mansolillo/McNeece/Holsinger family. We were able to meet Gruncle Joe's daughter Jenny and her great family! Jack had tons of fun hanging with all the kids....

Here is Emily, Danielle, Jenny, Luke and Jack

Easter Morning at Home

The Easter Bunny brought Jack fun books, candy and stickers
so excited for Daddy to open his candy!stuffing his face with a Reese's peanut butter cup!

Next stop: Nana and Pops house....

the Easter Bunny left Jack playdoh, cool dinosaur stickers and bubbles there!

Easter Egg hunt!

notice the tongue always sticking out when he is concentrating....

he can't seem to get this egg open!

Last Stop: Grandma and Grandad's....

The Easter Bunny stopped here for Jack too! He's one lucky little boy!

He left Jack a talking Diego doll - Jack loved it and hasn't put it down
(he's even in bed with him right now!)

Happy Easter Everybody!!

Playground!

Jack loves the playground - he used to be so timid and just watch all the kids play - now I can't keep track of him b/c he's so quick and is such a great climber. We met Aunt Erica, Francesca and Anna at the playground on Sunday - the weather was gorgeous!

Francesca is always ready to pose for the camera!
getting Anna to pose is another story - she is too quick!

Jack and his Woody girls!

Jack and Anna climbing the rock wall...

Happy Birthday Renee!

We celebrated Renee's 2nd birthday this past weekend - Jack had a great time hanging out with his cousins Renee, Ryan and Brody (2nd cousins really) and all of Renee's other buddies!

yes, Jack is crying - not sure why but when everyone

was singing Happy Birthday Jack started crying!Ryan and Jack hola hooping

going for a ride in the wagon...

Giraffes, Monkeys and Polar Bears Oh My!

We hit the Baltimore Zoo on Sunday with Aunt Erica, Francesca and Anna (Aunt Katie, Ella and Aunt Juanita were there too but we didn't get to see them - maybe next time! :)
Jack and Anna weren't too impressed with the animals - Jack was skeptical of the Polar Bears, Monkeys and Giraffes but seemed to really like the Elephants, Penguins, and Cheetahs. Francesca of course loved all the animals except maybe the goat that was rubbing his head all over her! Erica and I were laughing so hard we couldn't get a picture!

Jack and Mommy feeding the Giraffe
The Woody girls checking out baby elephant Sampson...

Sampson is SO cute!

Anna, Jack and Francesca in good spirits even at the end!

March Madness!

Definitely one of our favorite times of year! I love picking my brackets even though I suck at it and I like to try to have ever ACC team in the final four even though I know it'll never happen! We had a few friends over to watch the Twerps get beat up on by Memphis - maybe next year when Gary decides to get a few taller guys who actually weigh more then 200 lbs!
At any rate, here are some cute pics of Jack and his girl Kacy Claire....

making lunch...

weeeee Kacy liked the slide!

uncadew always loves playing with Jack's
toys when he comes over - he'll never grow up :)

Jack and Kacy hugging b/f Kacy leaves - so cute!
