Angie signing in...

We're at Ruby Tuesdays and Jon orders the Mini Burgers with fries, and we order Jack the Mini Burgers (off the children's menu) with steamed broccoli (which he usually likes, and sometimes prefers). The waiter brings our food holding Jon's plate in one hand and his plate in the other. The waiter gently places Jack's plate in front of him.

Waiter: Here you go...

Jack: (Pointing at Jon's plate with the fries) That's my plate, dude.

Waiter: No, I think this is your plate with the broccoli.

Jack: Aghh, I gotta talk to my mom about this.

More quotes

Since Angie has decided to help with my, excuse me, our blog I guess we need to let you know who's writing each time. So, this is Jon. Jackson's had a couple of funny quotes today.
Those of you who know me well know that I love Chuck Norris facts. For example:
Outer space exists because it's afraid to be on the same planet as Chuck Norris.
or, Chuck Norris is the reason Waldo is hiding.
You get the idea. Jackson hears my brother and me laughing about these all the time so he's started making up his own. This morning at breakfast was his best:
Jack: Hey daddy...
Me: Yeah buddy?
Jack: Chuck Norris doesn't climb trees, he climbs buildings.
Not bad, Jack.

The other one was while I was at work. This is for fans of THE OFFICE. We've been trying get Jack to learn the names of Jesus' disciples. He's doing pretty well. This morning he and Angie were going over them. He came up with Peter, Andrew, James, John, Thomas, and Michael Scott. I'm thinking maybe we watch a little too much t.v.

If I had a dollar...

If I had a dollar for every funny thing Jack said, I would probably have at least a thousand dollars by now. The one thing we probably hear the most from other parents, usually with teenage or grown children, is they wished they had written down all the funny things their children said or did. This post will be updated frequently with funny thoughts or phrases by Jack Tyner.

3. Angie: What did you do at church tonight?

Jack: We jumped on the jumpy things and then played the quiet game?

Angie: Oh really? Who won?

Jack: I don't remember, but it sure wasn't me.

Proud Parents

So, since it has been quite some time since Jon has posted anything on his blog, I figured I would take over temporarily. My posts will always be short and usually with a picture...hints my short attention span and visual learning.

Jack, as many of you know, was recently the ringbearer in Ryan and Lindsey Wingo's wedding. He wasn't too sure about it, especially dressing up. He was just not up for wearing a bear costume. Once we explained the "ringbear" was actually the "ringbearer" who wore a tux and shiny shoes, he was in. Not to mention the trip to Build-a-Bear he could earn for completing the task of walking up the aisle, sitting quietly through the wedding, and walking back out.

Well, he did it. He was the most adorable little 4-year-old in a tux with shiny shoes at that wedding. As soon as he saw himself on the "big TV's" in the worship center, he turned on his charm. Luckily, the cameras stayed on Jack and the sweet little flowergirl he was escorting, and not on the two goobs sitting in the front row smiling ear to ear as our little boy did exactly as we asked him to do.

Snow Day

We had our first real East Tennessee snow this week! It was short-lived but we had some fun. I'll be honest though, I'm ready for some warmer weather. I think we're going to be getting a very welcomed warm-up this weekend. Hallelujah!
Notice the "power T" on Jack's hat...
