Cookie Monster

I made chocolate chip cookies this evening and Jack got to have one hot out of the oven after dinner. I forgot how gooey the warm chocolate chips are but as you can see in the picture Jack enjoyed smearing them across his face!

Happy Boy

Jack was such a smiley boy this morning. Here he is after getting dressed for the day. He is wearing a new shirt that his grandma sent from Oklahoma.

Testing out the new sandals

Jack got a care package from Grandma Brenda and Grandpa George. In it there were new books, summer clothes, pjs, and some cool summer sandals. Jack was really upset the first time I put the sandals on him but as soon as he walked around in them a bit..... he was hooked. Here are a few pictures of him giving them a good test run yesterday.

Playing Outside

The weather has been so nice lately that we play outside in the backyard a lot. Jack likes to carry around sticks, play with his brooms, and pick at the weeds. Also, Jack has become really interested in the sand in his "sand box" (horse shoe pit). He likes to take handfuls of it and dump it onto the grass. He has even sampled several handfuls and thinks it is delicious! yuck....

Uncle Geo's visit... too short!

Uncle George came for a visit from College Station this weekend. Sat. we went to the museum and got to check out dinosaurs and animals that live in Africa. Afterward we took the metro rail to Reliant and tried some BBQ. The weather was super cold and really windy. It was rough!

Next month we are going to College Station to visit George. He promised Jack some of his world famous homemade pizza. George uses lots of fun toppings like potatoes and zucchini on his pizzas. Also, Uncle Geo makes his own pizza sauce....we can't wait!

Colorado Ski Trip

We had lots of fun on our ski trip with Arthur's family in Colorado. This year we met in Breckenridge, CO. The snow was great for skiing but it was pretty chilly a few mornings. The kids got to try out the sled and play in the snow.

The Zoo

Since the zoo is free on Presidents Day and Arthur is off work we took a family trip to the Houston zoo. It was Jack's first time to try the carousel. He gave it two thumbs up!
