Cousins in Utah!

Jack and I were able to take a trip out to Utah recently to spend time with some family. Tony got stuck home working long hours, and we missed him like crazy. But I think Jack enjoyed getting to play with so many cousins. Looking back at my pictures though, I realize I only have some from my side of the family because my mom was the one taking all the pictures. I didn't bring my camera. Whoops. Jack absolutely loved playing with his Roring cousins and I am super sad I didn't catch any of it on camera. 

These kiddos are only a month apart. Aren't they both adorable!

Jack is turning into a real monkey. He loves to climb anything and everything. (I have to stand by for the occasional slip). 

We really enjoyed a playground that was near my parents house. 

Joseph has a killer smile. It lights up his whole face!

And my little daredevil loved the huge slide. 

King of the Mountain!

The boys loved watching each other swing....

And Jack's favorite game is to kick mommy. 

Both boys have a fascination with belly buttons. 

My mom took some really great pictures of my little Jacko. Isn't he the cutest thing you ever did see?

These pictures are of my brother and his kiddo, and then me and my kiddo. 

And here is grandma with her favorite grandkids.

She looks more like she should be their mom, instead of their grandma, huh? I have one hot mama!

We got to go to Jack's cousin Tylee's birthday party. They had a minion piñata. As you can see, Jack had a blast hitting the crap out of it. 

And here are 4 of the Fantastic Five 2012 boys. 

Light the Night Leukemia Walk

Last night we were able to attend the Light the Night Leukemia and Lymphoma Walk. Tony's work did a big fundraiser for it and he was the team captain. It was a 2 1/2 mile walk carrying balloons that have lights in them. 

The red balloons were supporters. The gold balloons were in remembrance of a loved one, and the white balloons were for the survivors. Tony got to have a white balloon of course. He also got a shirt that had survivor written on the back instead of a picture of all the sponsoring businesses. 

The walk was down Pennsylvania Avenue, down to the Capitol building and then back. 

 And considering it was past Jack's bedtime, he was a trooper. I think he liked watching all the people and seeing all the flashing lights of police cars blocking off the road to cars. 

Marty McFly

Tony risked waking Jack up by taking a picture because he thought it was soooooo awesome that he was sleeping just like Marty Mcfly in Back to the Future. He was so excited for me to post this picture here on the blog, so enjoy!

Six Flags!

So we have season passes to Six Flags for next year, but they let you come to this years Fright Fest. Our passes come with free parking, so we decided today was a good day to try out the park. 

The look on Jack's face and the death grip on my shirt says it all. He quite nervously said "Hi" to the scary pumpkin man. But then proceeded to tense up pretty quickly. "No thanks Mom."

Jack's favorite ride of the day was definitely the Merry Go Round. It was the first time he has ever been on one. 

The Glenn's came with us and were super awesome and offered to watch Jack while Tony and I went on a few of the big kid rides. 

We went on two rides together: Ride of Steel and Bat Wing (themed superman and batman rides). The superman ride went very high and very fast, but my favorite was definitely the Bat Wing. I have never been on a ride quite like that. You start in a seat that they lower so that you are laying flat on your back. Then you go up to the top of the ride, and ride the first downhill head first and backwards. Then you flip so that you are facing the ground and you feel like you are flying. It was incredible.

Then we met back up with the Glenns and they headed for the big rides. 

We tried to get Jack to ride the helicopter with Daddy, but he was pretty unsure. 

We did, however, have success with a big bus ride that just went in a big circle.

And Jack liked the spider maze.

But his all time favorite part of the day was the spray park. (Luckily I brought a change of clothes for Jacko).

All in all, it was a great day and we are excited to be able to continue to go back all of next year. 

Feelin' Kinda Sick

My guys were feeling sick this last week. Tony had to miss a day of work because of a fever. And Jack has been coughing and has a runny nose. This picture says it all. 

New Hair

For those that know me, I have had long, brown hair for a long time....Well...those days are over for awhile. I got sick of the long hair...

So I went short and spunky. I have some red in the bangs and lots of layers and I think it rocks!

Welcome to the new Brittany.

He's Got Rhythm

Jack was in my room playing on the piano. I went in to check on him and saw him dancing. I couldn't help but record it.
