Socks

I find it really funny that when I ask Jack to get socks, he just randomly picks up two socks - no regard to color, texture, anything...

Emma, on the other hand, is teenagery enough that she doesn't often wear socks to school, even though it's WINTER.

Another Jack thought

"Mom and Dad. You know why I really like classical music?"
Us, "Why?"
"Because Kidz Bop can't ruin it."

Can't really argue with that logic.

Aaaaaand this is Jack

So a friend from church who lives down the street related a story to me tonight about my son. He said he saw Jack walking down the road and asked if he wanted a ride home. Jack has a hard time recognizing people when they aren't where he's used to seeing them. So he told our friend, "Well, ya know that whole stranger danger thing? Yeah, I'm not into that."

Good grief, I love this kid.

9th bday and Goosebumps

Just going to do a supah quick post, b/c I can't keep up with the pics and the writing and all the things...

Jack had a FUN bday, filled w/ minecraft legos. I'm going to miss this phase.
Emma's working on a PP presentation on Queen Hatshepsut - wow has technology changed since I was in high school ;-)

After watching the Goosebumps movie in the theater, Jack has been on a kick at home as well. They're worth watching just for Emma's commentary:

"Hey kids, your grandparents are creepy. Just thought you should know."

"Hey, kid. If you open that door, you're an idiot."

"Why would even do that?"

"Oh, well. You're going to die now, and this will be the shortest show ever."

"You really should just let that monster eat the annoying kid with you. I'm sure you can outrun him."

These kids crack me up...

Jack is Baptized!

How we started baptism day...

Like Mike said - this is the only time you'll get to go to church in bare feet ;-)

Our Stake does baptisms for the kiddos the second Saturday. Jack LOVED that his buddy Jack, and his twin, Hazel, got to be baptized right after him. FUN TIMES.

Finished the day off with building Legos and a re-watch of Aladdin.

We both knew that once Jack decided he wanted to be baptized, he'd be excited, and that's exactly how it went. He turns 9 later this month, and I'm super proud of him for waiting until he was ready.

Fun times in the Perry family!

MISSING

I know.
With Facebook and Instagram, I'm terrible w/ keeping this up.

I'll go back and post some highlights... But not today.
