three year pictures

Jack Jack turned three.

Technically he turned three a while ago...but just a little while a go.

Either way we decided it was time to get these pictures done before our mild Fall turned to Winter and our three year pictures were actually our three years and 11 months pictures.

Since taking pictures was a little more than my pregnant self was ready to take on,

we pulled out a lawn chair, plopped me on it, and had Michael keep jack in the general area I needed him.

We snapped snapped away for a few minutes and came up with these beauties.

Can this kid make some awesome faces or what?

I love him!

true love

I attribute this situation to the bottle of NyQuil sitting on the counter top.

We were still a little sick but I was desperately wanting to go dark again with my hair...

I need to get some girl friends.

Well, I feel like we have awesome intentions for date night.

Unfortunately they always seem to involve strange unplanned events.

For example, we were supposed to go to a chalk art festival this night. We read about it online...seemed legitimate. 

We drove up to where we thought it was, and then we drove even farther.

we couldn't find it.

We continued to drive until we were at the top of the ski resort.

It wasn't there either.

We got to the top just in time for the sun to set and decided to replace chalk art with sunset for the time being.

We watched the beautiful sunset and snuggled all together.

We piled back into the car for our second attempt at finding this so calked chalk festival.

We pulled up at the address finally, it was supposed to be going for another 3 hours.

It was dark, all the lights were off in all of the surrounding buildings, but with the car headlights we could see evidence of some chalk.

As we scanned over it with the car headlights it looked like 5 or 6 people had doodled their name, a rainbow, some flowers, etc. 

and that was all. 

NOT a festival.

so we drove to applebee's with our three year old at 10:00 at night instead because we were all starving.

We got some pretty funny looks but those chicken strips have never tasted so good.

Because I have been having so many contractions with baby girl lately, 

Doug and Erin offered to take Jack for a few days. 

love. them.

I am sore and pretty sick via all of this ugly belly squishing the contractions do

so I am slow...

way too slow for Jack.

The morning we were leaving to take him to Taggarts we apparently weren't fast enough to get him ready. 

I packed his bag (mostly full of blankets and stuffed animals he requested) and M got him some clothes to wear so I sent Jack to get his underwear so we could get him dressed.

I sat down in the chair in our room to rest and about 30 seconds later Jack strutted in wearing underwear, socks, cowboy boots, and pride all over his 3 year old face.

He grabbed his suit case and walked out.

done.

zoo.

Terri let me tag along to the zoo with them the other day and we had so much fun!
