Jack is turning 2

It is with a mixture of excitement and sadness that we watch our baby turn 2. Jack we love you so much and couldn't ask for a more perfect son. Happy birthday to our baby boy!

Staycation 2010

Yep you read that correctly! The bennetts choose to do a family vacation right here in SLC! Hence- Staycation! It was GREAT and I highly recommend it. We slept in our own beds, watched movies in the comfort of our own movie room and cooked in our own kitchen (much cheaper), but we travelled all around SLC and did things we had never done before.

John's Wedding

Here are some pictures from our trip down to Springdale for my brother John's wedding. The boys are so cute together. They had a few altercations, but overall played really well. They helped Alex (john's little boy) walk down the aisle with the rings. It was a great trip and Jack had a blast at his Mimi's house. He is still talking about Lily (my mom's crazy dog). Love you guys!

The Little Gym

Recently we joined "The Little Gym" which has gymnastics classes for toddlers. There are about twenty kids in Jack's class all within a year of his age. His cousin Brooks also goes with us on Saturday mornings. Jack doesn't really love to do the group activities and mostly wanders the gym playing with the equipment. It is great fun, exercise, and socialization!

Pool Table

Jack just loves bouncy balls, footballs, soccer balls, etc. He has always shown an interest in the pool balls and Kyle has not been keen on letting Jack play with them for fear he will throw one and do who knows what kind of damage. So you can imagine my surprise when I came downstairs and found this going on! So unlike my OCD husband but it has turned into quite the bonding time between the two of them and Jack spent almost an hour the other day with his dad rolling the balls around the pool table! Kyle asks him to say the ball colors so he is learning colors, dexterity, and coordination!

Funny Guy!

Jack is Mr. Explorer lately and into everything. From rearranging the Q-tips, to playing in the laundry basket and his clothing drawers, he has his hands in everything! You are probably wondering about the picture of the shoe pile! Jack went through a period where he was taking all of Kyle's shoes and piling them up in the corner of his room. Eventually he added my shoes and the pile was huge! It kept his attention for quite a while, which is rare these days.
