Father's Day

I know I'm a week late in posting this, but things have been busy lately!! Jon got to be celebrated for the first time as a father last Sunday. The day started with a delicious breakfast made by yours truly, and continued with a day full of relaxation for the hubby. I appointed myself primary diaper changer (which is not out of the ordinary) and was on Jack duty for all 3 hours of church. My family abandoned Pop at home for the week, so he came over to have dinner with us. And because it was Fathers Day, Jon was allowed to wear his uglier-than all-get-out hawaiian shirt. This is normally not allowed, but he took advantage of the day and knew I couldn't say anything.

Jack has decided that his toys are LAME-O and is only interested in what the grown-ups have. So anything like a cell phone, your food, camera or in this case, glasses are very interesting.

Moms and Babies!

We finally took a picture of the girls and our babies!! These are my good friends, Tiffany and Jazmin. Tiffany and I went through our pregnancies together, and her daughter Ansley is 2 weeks younger than Jack. Jazmin was about 4 months behind us and had little baby Jadyn in March. Jack is definatley the studly man of choice for these little ladies!

Ok and just on a side note...Jack has started crawling!! It's the most adorable thing ever. He's still in the army crawl stages, but man he can move. The TV remote seems to be his biggest motivation. So we gave him an old one (without batteries) as his victory reward to suck on until his little heart is content.

sweet relaxin'

Jon and I were counting down the days until Memorial Day weekend. He's had a crappy couple of weeks at work and hadn't seen me or his son awake in days. So we were dang excited for a 3 day weekend!! We celebrated his day off by going to the pool with some friends, seeing Indiana Jones and grilling out. It was a smashing success!!

The next morning, I left for Destin with my family. I figured Jon wouldn't even notice I was gone with the hours he's been working. This was Jack's third time to the beach, but first time touching the sand. (also see if you can notice my way cute hair cut)
He loved chillin' in his little float at the pool and would just sit back and let his little raisen toes float around. Freaking adorable.
And here he is rollin around on Pops.

Ok..... and now for the highlight of the trip. So me mom and dad are down at the beach one morning (I'd pawned the napping Jack off on Lucas) and I'm in the water, about thigh high just looking at shells and trying to avoid stepping on crabs. My parents are up on the shore, only about 10 feet away. This older man out for a jog passes us, then starts running back telling my dad that there is a shark in the water. My dad yells to me "get out of the water!" But I didn't hear him until he said SHARK!! Without even looking, I sprinted out of the water, turned and saw a 6 foot bull shark swim right where I had just been. It was close enough I could see his two dorsal fins had white tips. Granted, he didn't even pay any attention to me and probably wouldn't have eaten me but still!!! So once I got my heart rate under control, we continue our walk. We see another shark, a little smaller swimming about 10 feet off shore. What the heck. So later on that day, Lucas and I, with boogie boards in tote, made out way out to the beach. There was a family down there and they warned us that they'd just seen a shark. So we decided to build a sandcastle instead. We had not been down there 5 minutes and we saw another shark!!! 3 in one day people!! Needless to say, I didn't go more than ankle deep the rest of the trip.
