lovin' on grandma.
we had a great fourth! we woke jack up super early (it took forever to wake him up, he sleeps like a rock) and took him to see the balloons with my fam. he loved it. he pointed up and said "ba, ba" (ball). really isn't that what they are, a bunch of balls floating in the sky? my kid's a genius.
it was early so shawn and i still have sleepy eyes. and no, i did not shower for a 6 am appointment with the balloons.
i thought this was a cool shot that shawn took.
so here's jack locked in the car. yes, locked in the car. i had two babies to take home from the park (i was babysitting) and i put jack in the front, turned on the car, and shut the doors to put the other baby in the carseat. jack takes his cute little finger and pushes the auto lock. i freaked. LUCKILY i had turned on the AC so he was nice and comfortable. of course, my cell phone was in the car as well. LUCKILY my friend emma was with me and let me use her phone to call shawn (and she had her camera...). and LUCKILY shawn was on his way home for his lunch break, otherwise i think my mom adrenaline would've kicked in and i would've smashed the car window. so jack spent about 15 min. total in the car. while i tried not to panic, he had a great time. he loves cars. 
okay, so shawn and i went with our best friend pals jordan and linsey to see the manti pageant last night. i had never been before. the temple was amazing, up on that crazy hill. the pageant...i fell asleep after a while. but it's a big enough deal that there were a bunch of anti's there doing their thing. whatever. here's a blurry pic of us with the temple and to the right is a pic in focus without the temple, so take your pick...(no pun intended...ha ha).
check out those long locks...
...and they are GONE. shawn and i took the clippers to his head. it took an hour and a half because he was so wiggly. it took me a little bit to get used to it, but he looks so much more like his dad now, which we all know is not a bad thing indeed. i also chopped my hair off, pics will be forthcoming as soon as i put some make-up on.
so jack finds his old car seat stashed in his closet, the one he used to scream in for every and any car trip, and climbs right in. whatever. (look how big he is in that thing...he used to look like a drop in a bucket when he was so horribly forced to sit in it.)
