random pictures

jack picked these for me and put them in his gatorade bottle. he said, "these mean thanks for being my mom." yeah, do you understand why he's so spoiled??

this morning

as i was trying to help jack get dressed (he's a slow poke) he looked at me and said, "mom, i work alone."

alright alright

jesus did it

on our way home today jack started screaming. he's a little dramatic.
me: what?! are you okay?!
jack: no, i'm so mad!!
me: why? what happened?
jack: jesus gave me the badest feet in the whole universe!
me: uh, okay. why are they bad feet?
jack: cause i got water on them and they won't dry.
me: seriously?

yeah, i'm just glad it's not me he's mad at.

a few days ago

jack was playing on his scooter. he rides over to me, looks at me and in all seriousness says, "mom, watch my ollie." i couldn't stop laughing.

two things..

first-jack is driving me n.u.t.s today. seriously, i have to ask him multiple times to do one simple thing. just now, i asked jack to go wash his hands. he doodles for a few minutes. i repeat, "jack, please go wash your hands. he looks at me and just smiles and keeps messing around. i repeat again (with a little more force) "jack, for the love of all things holy, please go wash your hands. jack says, "alright alright, i promise i will go wash my hands!" as he's walking away i hear him say, "sheesh, tough crowd."

second-does anyone know what a titter is? cause if not, jack can tell you. he told me the other day that someone was a titter. i looked at him and asked him what the heck a titter was. he said a titter is someone who cries and whines, that's what papa called me one time. what i think he meant to say was tit....let me explain, if someone is whining or crying about something lame my dad would always say, "don't be a little tit." yeah, that's my dad. it's funny. so, if you're kid comes home telling you that jack called him a titter, i'm sorry.

just now....

jack threw a ball up in the air and caught it

here's what happened next

jack: mommy!! you're the bestest mommy ever!

me: why is that?

jack: because you gave me the best hands when i was in your tummy. they help me catch the ball!

i'm glad jack is back. he cracks me up.

tonight

jack was getting ready to go to bed and he started with the whole " i want to sleep with you, mommy " speech. you see the problem is that he spent way to much time with nana. she let's him do pretty much whatever he wants...he even gets to sleep with her. when he comes back he thinks he needs someone to sleep with him.

anyway, this is the conversation last night.

jack: if i'm 3 can i sleep with you?
me: no
jack: how about if i'm 2?
me: no
jack: 1?
me: no
jack: well do babies get to sleep with their mom's?
me: they only sleep with their mom's when they are in their mommy's tummy's.

finally got him into bed. we read 2 books and sang about a million songs. i started to get up and he grabbed me and hung on for dear life and said, "mommy, you have to sleep with me. i'm a tiny baby and i'm in your tummy." he snugged right up to me.

you don't even have to ask...yes, i stayed in his room last night.

just cause...

i know you're all dying to see more pictures

i'll post some.

{summers family}

let's be honest, no way were we going to get this many kids to smile and look at the camera at the same time. so,we had to do something. i think it turned out cute.

i may have gotten carried away, i admit. in my defense he started it!

this is my favorite picture. it's just us. our little family...with jack pretending to be a "race car man" and driving circles around us.

these last two pictures are some that the photographer took. she's pretty much amazing.

July 16, 2010

i can't believe our wedding day is over. it all happened so fast.

i have never in my life felt so calm.

nate decided to go all traditional on me and not see me until i walked down the aisle. when i finally saw him for the first time, i couldn't stop smiling.

other than the heat our day was amazing! it was everything i had ever wanted. and it wouldn't have happened if it weren't for our parents. they made it incredibly special for us.

jack kept telling everyone, "i'm getting married today!" it was cute. jack is a lucky little boy to have nate in his life forever.

*jack was so proud when he brought me my bouquet

*my crazy boys

holy wedding day overload

my only big concern on the wedding day was jack. who would watch him?

enter nana: she had the genius idea to set up a candy buffet.

nate and i were like "jack, eat all you want. you aren't coming home with us tonight."

you don't even have to say it...i know he's cute!

i walked down the isle to this song. (hence the lemon drops)

the guy who sang sounds just like the guy in the video.

oh my word, i laughed so much when i was able to go through the wedding pictures.

who knew farmer and papa cliff could cut some rug?

he is such a poser

even more pictures...

i let jack ditch his tux after the ceremony...poor kid was drenched in sweat.

libby and i really do love each other

i let my brothers cut the cake for the guests. for some reason that just cracks me up. but, angie was there to supervise.
