Easter Weekend

We spent Jack's second Easter in Kirksville for the annual Gordon Easter celebration.  Papa's birthday also happened to fall on Saturday so we had fun celebrating with him too!  Jack got Papa Cardinal tickets and Sweetarts candies.  

Jack enjoyed them too!

 Sharing Papa's Sweetarts

 Uncle Ryan (aka Ry Ry) thought Jack looked like a Seuss character...

 Saturday afternoon we had Gordon Family pictures taken with Jack's great-grandparents

(the photo shoot was the kids' gift to my grandparents for Christmas)

Gotta love that hat & sneakers!

 This is Jack's "smile" when you tell him you're taking his picture - ha!

 Taking a ride to check out Ryan's new digs this coming fall (Ryan will be attending Truman State University). 

 Great Grandma & Grandpa had set aside a miniature egg hunt just for Jack and he knew just what to do! 

 He managed to pick up all his eggs and put them in his bucket.

 Easter morning with the Uncles and the bunny ears Gigi made for all of them :)

 His adorable Easter attire is courtesy of Nama who picked it up at Jack's favorite restaurant - Cracker Barrel!

 The pictures below are just funny ones I took tonight - it looks like he has a 'sauce' black eye.  He was eating ravioli and decided to rub his eyes...he's also obsessed with pickles now (that's what he's holding).

 He does pretty well with his utensils too.

Gordon Family Pictures - Easter 2011

Fun weekend!

We had a busy weekend filled with the Little Gym, playing outside and a birthday party!

Jack LOVES Mickey Mouse so Daddy surprised him with a talking Mickey that he picked up at Walgreens. I'm sure my Dad is rolling his eyes because I talk about my love for Walgreens so often that he thinks I should be a spokesperson!

He was soooo excited!

He did not want to let go of Mickey even at bath time.

It was pretty cool on Saturday however Jack's newest obsession is playing outside therefore we bundled up and enjoyed the sunshine.  It's really quite sad because he now cries when you bring him inside.  I'm sure our neighbors wonder what is going on because he'll stand at our glass door and tears will just run down his face :(

This is his "I love you for taking me outside Mama!" look...

Best picture I could get of the two of them.

Yesterday we celebrated Caroline's 4th birthday!  Jack had so much fun playing with her pink kitchen set and dolls (Terry was not amused). 

These two pictures crack me up because my aunt is trying to get Caroline's attention so she'll smile in front of her birthday presents.  Caroline never did look up but Jack stood there smiling forever...ha!

Then he decided he was done taking pictures right when I wanted a picture with him...go figure.

He was too busy eating ALL the cheese at the party.

Lions & Tigers & Bears - Oh My!

We went to the zoo on Sunday with Uncle Jason and Jeffrey.  This is Jack's second trip to the zoo however the last time he slept the majority of the visit since he was only 3 months old.  This time was great!  I took him on the carousal and he LOVED it!  But I'm going to take a wild guess, that he had the most fun playing with Jeffrey :)  They rode in the wagon together, shared goldfish and Jack played with Jeffrey's hair and ears during the entire train ride.  Luckily Jeffrey thought it was funny too...
