SPRING BREAK '08

This post must be prefaced with the knowledge that Mommy does some strange things. She pairs odd things together and surprisingly enjoys it. For example, Mommy runs 3 miles and then eats a triple chocolate chunk cookie WITH frosting. Mommy also goes to the hydration station for a 20 minute skin hydration and then goes and tans (thus ruining her skin). Mommy also is 28 years old, yet has Hannah Montana on her IPOD and really likes it. Mommy may drink 8 oz of water only to then gulp down 20 oz. of Mt. Dew. The list goes on. At any rate Mommy has decided this year to take Jace on his first spring break trip to none other than.............Nebraska! Yep, they don't exactly go together but Jace's cousins Maveric and Keenan and Aunt Alisa are going to be there! It should be a great, wild time even if it isn't the tropical norm. Mommy and Jace take off in the morning so please wish us all luck! 3 tots under 3 will definitely be an adventure!
A few pictures to tide you over......

We are most definitely finding out what a boy's boy Jace is. He is so into cars, trucks, mud, and outdoors right now.
Jace got a totally cool power wheels from Nana and Papa Cook for his birthday and the weather is finally cooperating enough to get it up and running. Daddy and Jace used some elbow grease to put it together this week.

Jace took it for a test drive......runs like a hog! Jace is hilarious when he is driving--he looks like Mommy on day 1 of drivers ed. He pushes the 'go' button for 1/2 second and then lets go, then pushes it for another 1/2 second and lets go. Needless to say, Jace must have a minor case of whiplash from all the stopping and going! He loves it though!

As if a brand new power wheels 4x4 wasn't enough, Daddy also got Jace's trike together. This one was a present from Preston and of course Jace thinks it is the coolest too. Another 1/2 inch and he will really be able to get going!

Since the weather has actually been decent this week, Jace has gotten his first breath of fresh air (for more than 2 seconds sprinting from the car) and he is loving it! Every time Ozzy goes out Jace races to the door because he wants to go out and play too!


Welcome Spring!!!!!
