Just so you know, if you do two posts in one day, I only comment on one! I will remark about both, but I will only leave one comment. I know, I'm lazy. Always have been. Always will be. (Gosh, that explaniation took me longer than making another comment!)
32 Sunbeams! Are you kidding me? We had 6 and it was a mess. I think that each of them ended up on a teachers laps to try and keep them sitting! I am sure that Jack was better than that. Model Sunbeam, I'm sure.
It looks like Jack loves his Christmas presents. I'm not sure getting a trampoline was that exciting for our boys considering it is sitting in a box in the garage, and will be for 4 more months. Maybe we will have to come south to try your out! He does a great job at being the man of the house.
Thirty-two sunbeams in one ward? Are you kidding? Well, I am definitely sure there is none who shines so brightly as our Jack Boy! How many classes do they break those 32 children in to? I love him clean the house ... and believe me, there is nothing in that experience that is not good for him. He will learn how to work, how to clean so when he goes off to college and on his mission, he will know what he is doing! He looks like he is enjoying it! Good Mom!
At least he didn't cry and cling on to you like Briggs did me, it only took me 45 min to be able to leave their class ha ha ha. K my boys really want to come play and jump on Jack's new trampoline. Call me soon :)
Not going to comment on the number of sunbeams because I have seen the three nurseries in your ward. However, I bet Jack is the best of the 32. Like Olivia said, our sunbeams OOC! I am so sad that this is usually the being on my St. George trips. Every three day weekend I make a run for it. I guess 2011 is my year to be a homebody! Jack definitely look big on the bike, I just wondered where his elbow, knee pads, and mouth guard are? In all seriousness, you are doing such a good job with him and Tim would be proud to see him cleaning! Break him in early.... before you know it they are telling you how to run the house! Great update. Can't wait to see you. I will try everything I can think of (except castor oil) to get this baby here so you have a reason to come see ME!
Cannot believe he is so big!! Do you realize that some wards only have 32 kids in their entire primary?? I bet he's happy to be out of nursery and moving on to something a little more intellectually stimulating. :)
Totally cool 2nd grader. Sports enthusiast. Book lover. Math whiz.

"When I get in the Mater firetruck, I'm gonna drive away to Wal-Mart or Target and I'll see ya for tomorrow."
"It is impossible to avoid pain; you must walk through it or it will wait for you around every corner. And it is impossible to numb pain; you must experience it fully to come cleanly out the other side."
"A woman with a mother heart has a testimony of the restored gospel, and she teaches the principles of the gospel without equivocation. She is keeping sacred covenants made in holy temples. Her talents and skills are shared unselfishly. She gains as much education as her circumstances will allow, improving her mind and spirit with the desire to teach what she learns to the generations who follow her."

Please tell me you are joking when you say 32 sunbeams! We have 8 and it's crazy! I love that he is riding a bike, I miss him!
32? What is up with your ward? All those doctors need to stop having kids!
So you got the trampoline up it looks like! We're going to have to come over and jump some time!!!
Can you believe our kiddos are little sunbeams? It is crazy to me. They are so little!

He looks so big. And did you mean to type 32... can't be right. If so, that is crazy! Your little baby is growing up. He is quite the stud!
