Momma and Jack's Big Day Out!

Last Saturday, Jack and I had our day out together. We needed to go shoe shopping and I thought that would be a good job for Jack and I to do on our own since his feet are a little bigger than Quent's, so whatever we got to fit Jack would certainly fit Quent too.

We started by taking back some shoes I had bought without the boys with me that were WAY too big. (just goes to show you that it is better to have them there to try on.) We ended up at Payless and got GREAT deals! And with the way their feet are growing, we need all the help we can get! Jack picked out some awesome Lightning Mc Queen shoes for them both and they were a hit!! They light up and everything.

After shoe shopping, we had some lunch in the mall. Pasta, breadsticks and a smoothie, YUM.

I am not sure he has ever had a smoothie, but he sure liked the strawberry banana one that we picked.

Jack desperately wanted to ride on these toys that they had in their food court area. So, after we ate I let him try them out.

This is the expression the made the entire time. Not really too fond of it, but he did not want to get out either.

After the first car, he wanted to try this one, thsi race car moved around more and ge did not like that at all! I was able to snap a picture of him in it, then he asked to be done.

Now, the water fountain - He LOVED!

We threw pennies in and made wishes and just sat and drank our drinks by the water fountain. He was really fascinated by it and had fun talking all about it.
Then we shopped some more and got some shirts for Easter and a few other things befpre it was time to head home for a rest.

Momma and Jack had a great day out together!
Love You my Jackson!!

My Date Day with Quentin

Last Sunday Quentin and I had some special time to ourselves while Daddy and Jack held down the fort at home. Both boys had cold the previous week and Quent just breezed through his much faster, leaving jack still feeling pretty icky by Sunday. We had been invited to Lincoln's first birthday party on that Sunday and thought it was better that just Quent and i went. And we made a day of it.

We went out to lunch, Quent's choice. Well, we went to McDonald's and ate inside at a booth - BIG stuff for Quent! He was very excited and several times turned to me and said, "Momma, I am so big!" We had our cheeseburgers and apples and had a nice time just talking and watching all the things going on around us.

Next, we went to Michael's to pick out stickers (we are working on the potty stuff) and sgot some other good stuff too. Quent walked around on his own and did not have to ride in the cart! He liked that very much. It is just impossible to do that with both of them, so it was a big treat for him to be so independent when we were on our own. He picked out rubber balls for he and Jack, they had spiders inside them and he shouted, "Wow, these are spooky!" That got some laughs in the aisle!

Then we were off to the party. Len and Kyle were there too and lots of other family on my Dad's side. Lincoln is my cousin Steve and his wife Stella's little boy. It was a nice party and Quent had a good time playing with Linc and all his toys. It was kind of weird to not have Jack there, but I knew he was doing some special fun stuff with Daddy and getting soem extra rest so he would feel better. Here's some pictures of the party!

Linc was wondering why this kid is hogging all my toys?

"Hey Lincoln, looks like you are getting a farm!"

Cute Family!

Happy Birthday Lincoln!

On the way home from the party we stopped by Babies r Us for some needed supplies. Whenever I am there with both boys I always say 'not this time' to the ride in the front of the store, but this time I said yes.

"Hey frog, can you believe my Mom put me in this thing?"

I am still not quite awake from my snooze in the car, so will say that I like the ride, but you will get no smile out of me Mom.

I had a funtime on my date with Quent!
This weekend its Jack's turn!
