Michael & Jackson

Overheard in the car this morning: 

Jack: "It's really sad that Michael and Jackson died."

Michael: "Jack, isn't it funny that Michael is my name and Jackson is your name?"

Jack: "No, my name is Jack."

Michael: "No, your real name is Jackson."

Mom: "His real name is Johnathan Reese, but we call him Jack.  We call him Jackson sometimes for fun because that's what he called himself when he was little and it was cute."

*Note to self and friends: Maybe it's just easier to name your 

child what you're planning on calling him for the rest of his life.

Bribery 101

Jack, Jack, Jack...  

We went to the water park. 

We stayed in a fancy ("fancy" because it had 2 rooms and a refrigerator) hotel. 

I let you jump on the bed and have a pillow fight with your brother. 

I let you hang over the balcony and look down two stories at the ground (which scared me to death). 

We swam until we couldn't swim anymore. 

Then we went out to dinner and I let you drink Coke (aah!) and have an ice cream sundae for dessert (aah again!). 

We played Uno before we went to bed (very late, I will add).  

Then we woke up the next day and did (most of it) all over again.  

And when you didn't listen and had to sit out for a few minutes, what did you do? 

You tried to bribe me into buying you candy buttons.  I have proof.

I love the big smile at the end.  

Anyway, here are some other pictures of our fun night at Arizona Grand:
