Heading North

We headed north this past weekend to celebrate Jack's birthday at the farm. The kids got to feed the lambs, collect eggs, talk to Pumpkin Pie and hang out with Grandma and Grandpa. Not much to report, other than it was a bit cold and everyone was tired much of the weekend.

He's four, people!

As a followup to my last post, here are Jack's four year stats:


3'5.93" (83.9%)
40 lb 9.6 oz (83.9%)


They no longer do head circumference, instead they take blood pressure and check the kid's eye sight and hearing. Jack thought the hearing test was a game, so that was fun!


He had to get a couple shots, but don't worry, he got to go to the grocery store afterwards for a doughnut. This choice of treat after the doctor really solidifies the fact that he is my kid. Because who wouldn't want a doughnut as their treat choice?!?

Jack's birthday

Our little buddy turned 4 on Sunday!  We didn't do anything big for the day, but we played like crazy! He wanted pancakes, so we brought him to Perkins, where he immediately decided he wanted grilled cheese instead...with bacon. That seems like a good breakfast, right? From there, we went to the park, played, opened gifts, played, went for a bike ride on his new bike, played and invited our Oleson cousins over for cake. Then, we played some more. Jack's favorite gift was his bike. He has known for awhile now that it was coming, but when he actually saw it, his reaction was priceless. He stared, made his funny excited kid noises and said "I told you so, momma! I told you I was getting a bike!" Well, buddy, you were right.

We had plans on Saturday night to take the kids to Frozen on Ice, but Jack got sick, so Annalee and I had a date sans boys. She loved it! And listening to the Target Center echo with all the little kid voices singing Let it Go was probably the most adorable thing I have ever heard.

Just for good measure, here is a photo of Annalee being loved up by her daddy. These two are such hams.
Have a great day!
