Enjoying the beautiful weather!

I wish Utah's weather stayed in the mid 70's year round. I find it perfect for walks and playing outside because with the light breeze you don't end up sweaty and overheated..but because the swealtering dry heat is inevitable we've just been enjoying what little "perfect weather" we are going to get. Yesterday Jack kept signing please and then waving at the door as if to say, " Can we PLEASE go somewhere!" we decided to take Jack to the park and he had a BLAST! He was a goof ball the whole way there and was just laughing a giggling to be getting out of the house. Once we got there and he could see all the kids playing and the play place in sight he was hilarious and just kicking and squealing and trying to get out of his stroller, like he was ready to just run the rest of the way there. He enjoyed his daddy pushing him in the swings and I loved watching his hair have little "wings" when he went really high. His favorite part of the trip though was the slide. I was tearing up because of how independent he has gotten. Chris and I would count 1..2..3.. and then one of us would help him go down the slide and the other would catch him, but after the 3rd or 4th time down Jack started to push us away and would slowly scoot down and go down all by himself! This boy has no fear and it's exciting for him, but a little heartbreaking and nerve-racking for us. We went to the Redwood Road Veterans Park and it was super fun, they had so much to do he will love going there when he's a little older. On our way back to the car we stopped by the drinking fountains so Chris and I could get a drink, Jack kept signing please so we let him have a try. He is a smart boy he knew exactly what to do after watching us and slurped down quite a bit of water. While we were driving back we stopped by Dairy Queen and got a few ice cream cones. I shared mine with Jack and he ended up grabbing it from my hand and eating practically the whole thing...even the cone! It was a fun day and we are so glad daddy got to come along too!

Look at him! He's deliriously happy on our way there.
First time on the swing!



Love his little "wings".




Could life be any better for a little boy??

I thought we agreed that Jack would stay a baby! He's acting like a big kid! That's crazy!
