Jack's tractor party

On Jack's birthday we celebrated with our family and friends with a Tractor birthday party. Everyone came dressed in their farm finest and enjoyed a good ole country time at the Tavares Farm. Jack was a great birthday boy, enjoying his gifts, cake and company. Check out some highlights from the day!


Jack got his very own tractor to match Connor's

Jack is 2!!!

Today is Jack's 2nd Birthday. Can't believe my little guy is already 2. Jack is very excited for his birthday, "tractor party" and about becoming a big boy. He recently started acting like a 2 year old - demanding exactly what he wants whenever he wants it. Even when he is being fresh - he is still super cute!!! He melts everyone with his big blue eyes and is quite the charmer. He loves to laugh and make others laugh. He is a snuggler who loves to be cuddled. He adores Connor - following his big brother everywhere and trying to copy his every move. Jack loves to play with anything with wheels - cars, trucks, tractors.... He speaks really well for his age - stringing together 4 or 5 word phrases. He also loves to read books. We just love him sooooo much!!! Happy Birthday Jack!!!

Here is a little trip down memory lane of the past year.

Bicycle Stunt Show

This weekend we went to the Bicycle Stunt Show Family Day at East Providence High School. Because Connor is obsessed with all things bike related, I knew that he would love it and I also thought it would be a cheap way to spend an afternoon entertaining the family. The boys had a blast getting their faces painted and eating candy bars from the snack counter. All four of us really enjoyed the stunt show- it really was amazing to see what these bikers could do.


Ready for the action - Check out his rocket ship face paint
Also, notice the concentration on his face - he could have watched for hours

Jack really enjoyed the "hugs juice" which I also loved as a kid
