The Weekend
This past Wednesday Jack and Alex went to stay with G&G H, Auntie Sue, Johnathan and Danica. Amy took vacation and you could say so did the boys... to the big town of Neillsville!! Jack was so funny before they left, he kept saying that they were going to G&G's house for 100 days. Steve asked if he was going to miss us and Jack said no Dad you can join us too. Ah... I see the show Green Acres in that scenario.... :)
So while Mom and Dad were enjoying the quiet house and being lazy the boys had a blast with my family.
Steve and I arrived Friday and unfortunately I must have caught what Jack had because I wasn't feeling the greatest all weekend. Saturday we took Jack to Marshfield to go see his very first movie at a theater... Monsters vs Aliens. Then it was back to Nville to celebrate Jack's birthday (yes another party and thankfully the last... until next year!!!)
Jack got a Diego Wii game from G&G
and also a Fire Hose!!
Then it was time for more Candles!
Then he got a camera from Auntie Sue, Johnathan and Danica
Say Cheese
A Bunk bed!!!! He was so excited to finally get a bunk bed. Of course he immediately climbed the ladder to get to the top and Alex was inches behind him and I couldn't tell who loved it more... Jack or Alex!
Alex taking over the top bunk...
Jack was very happy with his last bday present (thanks Mom and Dad) and could not wait to go to sleep! The boys ended up playing on the top bunk for what seemed like hours reading books, pretending to go to sleep and just talking. Then bedtime finally arrived!
Here are pictures of Mr Man fast asleep in his new bed!

Sunday we had a lazy morning and then it was time to head back home. What Jack didn't know was that there was another surprise waiting for him......
He walked into his bedroom and saw this........

A great ending to celebrating Birthday Number 4!
Tuesday - Birthday Day!!!
Jack's birthday did not go as planned. He ended up being sick and stayed home with Mom instead of being with his friends. He was sad but we had a great day!
Dad came home for lunch and of course we had to have a candle to blow out.
Then we had to stand next to the birthday flag to continue the tradition. It was way too windy outside so we had to compromise inside.
After his nap we went to visit Uncle Chad at the Fire Station. We brought the Firefighters birthday brownies and looked at all the trucks and ambulance. This was the highlight of his day!
After our visit we went to pick up Alex from Amy's house and came home to have a special bday dinner with Dad. Then it was present time and Jack got a Leapster 2 and two games from Alex, Dad and Mom.

While at the Fire Station Jack got a special gift from Uncle Chad. His very own Firefighter shirt. He was so excited he put it on right there and then and didn't want to take it off all night.

Even though he wasn't feeling the greatest I think he had a great birthday.... or at least he tells me that!

Sunday
Sunday we went to church in the morning which is always a gamble with the kids. Some weeks they are perfect angels and others they or one of them can be... oh lets say a challenge. Well this week Alex was a challenge. :)
After the boys naps Steve's parents, sister and her kids and his grandma came over for dinner to celebrate Jack's birthday. The kids ran around like crazy people and had a good time. Then after dinner it was cake time.... well more so pumpkin pie and rice krispies (Jack's choice).
Jack and Nick planning something sassy.
Alex is figuring out how many more weeks until he gets to have all the parties.
I wonder what he wished for this time around?!
Alex enjoying his sweets
After dessert Jack opened his gifts from everyone.
Look Mom I am a fish!!!!!

Saturday
Saturday Jill came up to celebrate Jack's bday. She arrived around 10:30 and her and I worked out after my shift at the Y. Then we got home and had lunch and the boys went down for their nap.
Alex napping on Steve
Jack wanted to sleep in the Fire Truck bed. That made Steve and I wonder who is really going to sleep in this bed down the road.... :)
After nap all four of us went to Walmart so that Jack could buy himself (remember the coin jug) a new bike. He was so proud of himself picking it out, taking it to the cashier and handing her the money. He gave me the receipt and told me it was for his book (baby book).

After we got home and he rode it around for a while it was time for dinner and while at Walmart Jill thought it would be a great idea to have donuts for dessert (just Jack and Alex). So here is
Jack with his bday donut.
Before Jill left we decided to take a couple (okay more like a 100) photos.
Jill and Jack.... Jack is wearing his Firefighter Helmet that Jill bought him.
Officer Hadzima and FF Van Nuland to the rescue!
Yeah... not the best photo of me. YIKES... can you tell I have been up since 4am?!?!
I need to learn not to turn sideways in photos.
Too Cute!
Here come the silly photos
Can you see where Jack gets his crazy smile?!?
One BIG happy family!
Last Friday
Okay I am going to attempt to update everyone from this past weekend to today.
Friday was a normal day home for me and the boys except Steve, Jack and Alex got a bit goofy.
Steve took the pirate earrings and decided to have the boys where them... well take a look at the pictures.
Jack and his money
Alex of course had to do the same thing.
My crazy boys!

Charming right?! They had a BLAST and where laughing for 20 minutes taking turns looking silly. Then Steve went to work and the rest of the day was for the boys and I.
After Steve got home from work we decided to empty Jack's coin jug that he has been collecting money in for the past four years and dump it into a rubber maid container so we could take it to the bank and see how much money he has been collecting.

Well we didn't make it to the bank before they closed so we decided to bring the Fire Truck bed out of storage and put it into Alex's bedroom. We are doing the same thing we did with Jack which is... we put it in the bedroom so he can get use to the bed. Then he will start taking naps in it during the day and eventually sleep their full time. It is crazy to look back and realize that Jack was already sleeping in the Fire Truck bed at the age Alex is.... but then again I also needed the crib for Alex who was only eight weeks away from being born!
So proud of his new bed
So proud of his new bed
My crazy boys!
