Glad I went to Kneaders

Jack and I were supposed to go to my sisters for a BBQ tonight. But, I just wasn't in the mood for burgers. So, before we headed over there we stopped at Kneaders to get some sandwiches. They all gave me a hard time because I didn't want to BBQ. They were teasing me about being too good for them. I had the last laugh though...I looked outside and all I saw were flames. Yep, that's right. Their burgers were ruined. They had to dump baking powder on the grill to put out the fire. So, while Jack and I had great sandwiches, they warmed up hot dogs in the microwave.

Pioneer Day

Jack and I had a wild time today. Not really, but it sounded good. We went swimming for a couple hours today...which was great because it wore Jack out. We came home and he went right to sleep. We went out to my sisters house tonight to watch fireworks. Jack loved them!

He Makes It All Worth It

Here are some random pictures of Jack. Lately, Jack has either been making me want to pull my hair out or is cracking me up. Yesterday, while I was in the shower, Jack comes in and says, "sorry momma." It was just so casual. Like it was no big deal. I soon found out what he was sorry for...he dumped out all the Pringles and stepped on them! Yes, one day I will look back on this and laugh...but, not for awhile. A long while. Tonight I told him it was time for bed and he needed to go pick out his books. We read 4 books every night. He brings me 8 tonight. Ya think he's trying to put off going to bed? After we read, we sing our songs....then lights out.

Here's our conversation as we're laying in there in the dark.
Jack: Mommy, I pooped.
Mommy: No, you didn't.
Jack: Mommy, I want juice. (I hand it to him)
Jack: Bank you, mommy.
Mommy: Your welcome, Jack. Night night.
Jack: Mommy, I pooped.
Mommy: No, you didn't.
Jack: Mommy, I want rocket ship.
Mommy: It's sleeping.
Jack: Mommy, I want Oswald.
Mommy: He's sleeping.
Jack: Mommy, I want Daisy.
Mommy: She's sleeping.
Jack: Mommy, I want Nelly. (neighbors dog)
Mommy: She's sleeping.
Jack: Mommy...(I cut him off)
Mommy: JACK! CLOSE YOUR EYES AND GO TO SLEEP! (I'm saying this in the most patient loving voice. But, I'm screaming it in my head)
Jack: Okay, mommy.
Jack: Mommy, tickle back. (I'm banging my head against the wall at this point)
I eventually won.

So, Utah is weird! It was completely quiet around hear on the Fourth of July. Every time I would ask someone why they weren't popping fireworks, they would tell me it was because it wasn't dark out yet. What?! When I was little you were up with the sun popping fireworks. So, Jack and I went and bought some stuff and he had so much fun throwing his little poppers. In fact, I had to go back 3 times to get more. We went and watched my nephews shoot off some fireworks that night. Jack loved it.

Jack helped frost the cake. But, pretty sure he got most of it on his face.
