Here contains glimpses of my life (especially Jack, the 8 year old) and obsession with UNC Tarheel basketball!

Sweet Sixteen


Not much blog passion about the Tarheels, sorry!  You can rest assured that I'm teaching Jack, by example, what it means to be the #1 fan!  We are set to play Marquette tomorrow and if you listen closely, you will hear a transplanted Southerner screaming from a Seattle hilltop!  Let's go Heels!

Tadpole Jack


Learning to float


Swimming underwater toward Ms. Kristin

Learning to keep the "Alligator's" mouth closed (holding hands together)
First Swim Coach--Ms. Kristin & Jack
He absolutely LOVES her!

Jack loves swimming and has been taking lessons since he was about 18 months old.  On most Tues/Thurs evenings, you will find us at the Enumclaw Aquatic Center and more times than not Jack will be the one underwater (hence, hard to take photos of).  About the time he turned 3, he would (spontaneously) swim around his classmates, underwater, and stay under up to 10 seconds.  Do you see a future scuba diver in out midst (like Daddy)?

We LOVE Ms. Kristin, our favorite swim coach.  She has a Jack (& Grace) herself and has a loving, motherly way to push & get the best out of any toddler.  Wow, we are so lucky.  Maybe I should start researching swim & water polo college scholarships????

March Maddening Update

Big, happy smile!


Jack & his Pterodactyl

Tucker & Jack (holding a Giganotosaurus)
It is as it seems...Tucker tolerates (well, I might add), Jack's antics!
 Life at the Myers'
  1. Dinosaur collection:  There is a speciality toy store in Issaquah where Jack & Daddy go when Mom is working.  Voila!  Dinosaurs magically appear!  Jack knows all their names and has an elaborate display set up on the coffee table.  *I know, bad blogger, no photo*
  2. Potty Training:  All I can say, is Mom & Dad are doing their part.  Jack seems to be waiting for some developmental trigger because giving him a hershey kiss each time he is successful, hasn't worked thus far.  So we will chalk potty training up to being something more difficult for us. 
  3. Love, love, love...our family, each other, our boy, our dog, our Tarheels beating DOOK!  Did you hear me screaming?   Life is good.
