Weekend in KC

Jack and I just got home from a long weekend in Kansas City. We went there to visit Brittany and Avree....and to help Aunt Brittany celebrate her 25th birthday! We had a relaxing weekend and enjoyed watching Jack and Avree play together. They are both at fun age!

"I only look innocent!"

Not sure what happened here....but I am guessing that Avree just pinched Jack!

Happy Birthday Britt!

Bath time!

Phoenix!

The Johnson family just returned home from a wonderful week in Phoenix visiting Jay's parents. The weather was a little chilly our first day there (in the 60's)...but it warmed up after that and we ended up having great weather the rest of the week (sunny and in the 70's!) We were so happy to get out of the house...anything would have been better than the cold and snow we left behind!

It was a fun and busy week for everyone. Jay spent a lot of time golfing with his dad.....I even played a few rounds of golf too! Jack went swimming a few times and also went on a lot of stroller rides. The rest of his time was spent chasing after his cousins, Joe and Abby! Jay and I managed to squeeze in a date night and went to our first NBA basketball game to watch the Suns play the Hornets. On our last night there, the whole family went to a spring training baseball game to watch the Texas Rangers and the San Francisco Giants. Sitting outside watching the baseball game really made us excited for summer!

We were a little sad to leave the warm weather, but happy to return home to grass rather than snow in our yard! The spring-like conditions here in Iowa this week made our transition home a little easier!

Jack loved the swimming pool!

My handsome boys!

10 months!

Jack is 10 months old today! Over the past month, we are starting to notice his transition from the infant stage to the toddler stage. We are having so much fun with him. He is interacting more and I love seeing his personality come out. I still spend most of my days just trying to keep up with him....he is walking all over the house now! He is such a busy boy. We are also finishing the last of his baby food so he is now eating almost all table food. My little baby is growing up so fast!

"No more pictures, Mom!"

Messy baby!

I made the mistake of letting Jay feed Jack his dinner the other night.....and I had a BIG mess to clean up when they were finished!! There was food everywhere.....all over Jack's hands, hair, face, high chair, and the floor. (Birdie and Bogey were nice enough to help clean up the mess on the floor!) I questioned whether any food actually made it to his stomach, but Jay assured me his belly was full. Jack and Daddy went straight to the bathtub shortly after these pictures were taken!

I don't think these pictures show how dirty Jack really was that night. His hair was a sticky mess!

Happy Valentine's Day!
