I created this blog to have a place to record all the sweet and crazy things that Jack Andrew says. Before I began the blog, most Jack-isms were recorded on Facebook. Wanting to have them all together in one place, I have cut and pasted old Facebook statuses here:
Jack is too funny! So it is thundering really loud and he says, "What's that noise?" I tell him it is Heaven. He says, "What Jesus doing?" His puzzled look is what made it so funny. May 11, 2009
I wonder how Jack Andrew knows potty humor at this young age. He just got a diaper (luckily clean) and put it on his cousin's head. He called him "Diaper Head" and ran off laughing hysterically.

I am really glad I was not buying anything too personal today at Target. Jack narrated as the guy rang each item up... "and some blueberries, and some sunscreen, and some grape kool-aid, and some rice, etc."
July 21, 2009
A potty-training update: Jack walked in while I was using the bathroom and said, "Mommy is going potty. I am so proud of you!"
July 28, 2009
I love that Jack Andrew gives himself names: while eating grapes he is "grape-guy"
July 30, 2009
I am trying not to laugh at Jack! He is supposed to be taking a nap, but he just walked out of his room and said, "Oh well - I am not a good listener!" August 13, 2009
I LOVE Jack Andrew's imagination! He loves to playoutside with the rocks. These rocks have been everything - dinosaurs, aliens, trains, kids, pizzas, etc! August 22, 2009
I am entertained by Jack. His favorite thing to do at ‘school’ is to “play tea party.” He told me the tea party is outside and you go up and down and up and down. Oh, to you and I, that is the teeter-totter!!! August 27, 2009
I am wondering if I take Jack to Target too often. He is drawing circles inside of a circle and is so proud, "I am drawing Target!" August 29, 2009
So this week I have been taken back a few times by Jack Andrew calling me 'Mom' (instead of Mommy). I am NOT ready for that!! Then tonight he walks in and says, "Hi Kelly. Hi Kelly Powell. Are you picking me out some jammies? Are they going to be really cool?" September 20, 2009
We had a really fun time at the pumpkin patch! Jack was so fun. He had such a great time!!! Although, he did lay down on an X on the ground and announce, "Oh no, I died on the cross." October 4, 2009
In Jack's words, "If the Twins didn't win the baseball game then the Tigers would be really really happy. The Twins are really really happy."
October 6, 2009
So, we are driving by the Simplot factory and smoke is rolling out of the smoke stacks and Jack says, "Mommy, look! I see where God is making new clouds!" October 9, 2009
Jack, with his incredible imagination, has made up a new game - we are dust bunnies and the vacuum cleaner is after us! "Don't let it suck us up!"
October 11, 2009
I want to send a Thank You out to In Touch magazine – your cover photo of a half naked, very pregnant women has spawned much curiosity in Jack. The questions of an inquisitive two year old never end! October 28, 2009
I love that Jack had such a fun day! He really enjoyed trick or treating - is it weird that he asked each house if he could come in? October 31, 2009
I have a clever little man. He just used his charm to get himself a free icee from the lady at concessions! November 7, 2009
Today I handed Jack Andrew a small Amerian flag. He immediately started waving it singing, "And the home of the Sioux." November 10, 2009
Moustaches have taken over my house. Yesterday Jack took a marker and drew a moustache on himself! Thank God I keep the Sharpies hidden!!!
November 18, 2009
My baby is growing up too fast!!! 'The Way I Feel' has been one of his favorite books. I have read it hundreds and hundreds of times and have it memorized. Tonight when I suggested we read it he said, "No. 'The Way I Feel' is boring." November 19, 2009
I love that Jack Andrew puts a blanket over his head, calls himself Joseph and walks around with Baby Jesus (his glow worrm). So precious! Wait ... a large stuffed Tigger is now playing the part of God. And he is calling me Mary. We may need to talk about this some more at bedtime tonight! November 24, 2009
I loved building Jack's first snowman! He was so excited to see the snow! He wanted to bring his snowman inside with us. Luckily, it was small enough that we were able to transfer it to the patio. December 1, 2009
Jack Andrew is putting on a one-man nativity scene. First he was playing the part of the shepards. He told me he was "watching over his sheep." Now he is Baby Jesus. He said, "I am Baby Jesus in the manger (laundry basket). I am sleeping on hay. Look at the stars. There is the star of Bethlehem!" I am Mary and ...he demanded that I "wrap him in saddling clothes." December 5, 2009
Jackism of the Day: This morning Jack threw up. While I was cleaning him up, he asked what was all over him. I told him it was vomit; to which he replied, "Oh, then I am the a-vomit-able snowman! December 29, 2009
I just finished playing Puff the Magic Dragon with Jackie Paper. This was after he said to me, "Hey Jill - Fetch me a pail of water." January 4, 2010
I am listening to my dear husband broadcast UND basketball. Jack is screaming at Ryan and demanding him to tell him that he loves him!
January 5, 2010
I enjoyed some Sioux hockey with my family. I am not sure what I enjoy more - watching the game or watching Jack Andrew watch and cheer.
January 9, 2010
I am wondering if it was a wise idea to bring Jack to Professional Bullriding. 'Mommy, can I do that sometime? Can I ride on a mad bull that doesn't want me to ride on him?' UH-OH!!! January 22, 2010
I am thankful for Jack reminding me tonight of what is important. While we were playing Puff the Magic Dragon, I took a break to get on the computer. He came in and said, "Puff, I am Jackie Paper and you have to be sad beacuse I am all grown up. Now get away from the computer. It is very very dangerous!" January 27, 2010
Last night Jack and I listened to Ryan announce the bball game. Whenever he heard Pat Mitchell's name, he would scream out, "Pat Mitchell has the ball!" Tonight he asks if we can listen again and I tell him that they are not playing but he can call Ryan. When Ryan answered, Jack asked to talk to Pat Mitchell. Ryan l...et him! Jack just grinned from ear to ear and kept saying, "Good-Night Pat Mitchell!"

Jack has decided that he wants to go to space camp. I asked him to eat his lunch. He said, "So I can get big enough to go to space camp?" I asked him to take a nap, "When I wake up, I will go to space camp?" I asked him to come sit by me and work on writing his name. He said, "So the teachers at space camp know my name?" February 6, 2010
Every day, Jack Andrew asks, "What are you going to name me today?" He wants me to ask him what he wants to be called. I am having trouble with today's conversation! Jack - "What are you going to name me today?" Me - "What do you want me to call you today?" Jack - "God!" February 14, 2010
I am so grateful for a almost three year old who loves Jesus! Jack crawled into our bed at 4am and asked, "Mommy, will you pray for me?" He said his leg had a boo-boo. After we prayed we discovered his underwear elastic was twisted and cutting into his leg. I am so thankful for his little heart!!! February 17, 2010
Jack and I are trying to set a world record - How many times can we reenact the story of David and Goliath in one evening? March 10, 2010
Jack Andrew drew a big ladder with sidewalk chalk. He says it is going to be a big ladder up to Heaven so that he can say Hello to Jesus! April 6, 2010
While teaching Sunday School this morning I ask the children if anyone remembered my name...my one three year old spoke up. And it was not "Mommy." It was “Smelly Kelly!" May 16, 2010
“Mommy, please wipe my nose. I do not want a snot mustache!” May 28, 2010
“Mommy, look! My toes are growing bigger!” June 6, 2010
Today I was getting frustrated that God was not showing me how to deal with a certain three-year-old's tantrum. I had already said several silent prayers and I just was wanting an answer. Well, He was listening, I just needed to be patient! I had put Jack in his room to calm down. After a few minutes it became quiet so I went to the door and heard sweet Jack praying! "God, please help me not be angry." He said some other things I could not hear. A minute later he came out and cleaned up the toys I had asked him to and that had started the tantrum! June 17, 2010
Jack set a record tonight...at swimming lessons, he only said, "I don't want to drown!" 3 times...so much better than the 30 or more times a few weeks ago! He is making great progress! June 22, 2010
423...the number of times Jack has asked, “Are we at vacation yet?” June 25, 2010
Teaching the 3 year old how to get truckers to honk at him...a great way to pass time! 7 out of 10...not bad for a beginner! He rewards them with a huge smile! June 25, 2010
I am hoping for an empty row on the airplane in the morning because Jack Andrew is planning on his three imaginary friends flying with us!
July 23, 2010
Jack's imaginary friends, 'the girls,' are the three little girls from Despicable Me. Margo, Edith and Agnes go EVERYWHERE with us! He especially loves Agnes who he calls Aggie! July 27, 2010
Me- "Say your prayers and tell God thank you for your lunch." Jack- "Because God takes care of us and gives us food to eat?" Me- "Yep." Jack- "And if he didn't give us food, we would die?" Me-"That would be bad." Jack- "No, that would be good...then we would go to Heaven and Jesus would give us lots of yummy food!" July 27, 2010
Jack's discovery of the day..."Look, I grew hair on my legs! I am turning into a man!" July 31, 2010
Never fear..."Those spots on my legs are just owies from riding bike. They are not LEPROSY!" July 31, 2010
Is proud of Jack! He just used scripture to 'scold' his cousin, "In your anger do not sin. Ephesians 4:26" August 10, 2010
Jack makes is hard to argue with him...he was making it very difficult to cut his finger nails..."Stop! Just leave them alone. That is just the way God made them!" August 12, 2010
While making Jack a pb&j sandwich he said, "I am going to have to learn how to do this...you know, for when I grow up." August 12, 2010
He just saw a full rainbow and said, "Look it goes all the way up to Heaven and back down to Alabama!" August 12, 2010
Jack is such a teacher's child..."Mommy, I made you a picture. Will you please laminate it for me?" October 2, 2010
I think Jack knows he is hyper tonight...he has spontaneously asked us if we are going to sell him to the zoo and he has told me that Ry put a 'penny in him.' October 8 , 2010
