I know, I am slacker!

Miss me? I have to say I had the greatest of intentions to do regular posts after Jack was born, but reality has had other priorities for me. So I am so sorry its been so long. Here is some pictures of things we have been up to!


Jack had his first Christmas. We kept it pretty small, but he did get my favorite book "I'll love you forever" and of course I couldn't help crying as I read it to him. I am so lame!


And just because Jack is around now doesn't mean that Bauer got out of putting on his Christmas bells!


Christmas Eve Jack got his first hair cut by his Aunt Ashley. This was at 6 weeks old, and he has gotten one every 3 weeks since. And I thought my hair grew fast!


He watched his first of many USC games... Go Trojans!


Jeff turned 32...


... And I turned 29... ouch last year in my 20's.


Jack made his first trip to Glenwood and he was all decked out in Glenwood cloths thanks to Aunt Angie and Nat! Here he is with his uncle Tyler.


Jack hung out with his Phoenix cousins Grant...


And Katie...


And here is Jack with his cousin Ryder who he normally loves... but we caught him in a rare moment.



Jack also has his first friend Gavyn who was born just 3 days after Jack.


Jack started smiling around 2 months...


... And started laughing around 4 months.


In March Jeff and I ventured on our first nights away from our little one. My dad and his wife Sheryl took all of us kids down to Vegas to see the Beattles show while Jack hung out with my Grandma Kim and Grandpa Kent.


Jack started eating cereal, and this mess on his face is why his bath is the last part to his day.


Jack had his first Easter. His favorite part was the colorful plastic eggs. My favorite part of course was hanging out with Jack, but a close second was the annual Easter egg hunt we do at my Mom's. Jeff on the other hand thinks my family is a little juvenile, and doesn't really get into the spirit of the hunt, but this was the first year our step siblings joined in the crazyness and they made it awesome. Of course history repeated itself, and I was once again the champion. It was teams so I did have the help of my brother Davy. My step sister Adrian had the misfortune of being paired up with Jeff. About half way through the hunt Adrian (who is just as competitive as me) turned to me and said "your husband isn't taking this seriously!" So I look around to find Jeff walking around with the basket on his head eating cinnamon rolls and pointing out the eggs to other players rather then picking them up for himself. So sorry Adrian, now your exempt from him for at least 5 years!


And I attempted my first "Bunny" cake. Looks like I have a lot to learn from Grandma Patsy!


But more then anything we just hung out.

We are loving every minute we get to spend with this little guy. If you can't tell he is definitely the apple of our eye!
