My First Mother's Day

Sunday was my first offical Mother's Day. Last year was a practice run. It was great we went to church then to my parents where my mother's side was out there. Jackson got to play with his cousin Isabel who is 8 months older and only weighs 5lbs more than Jackson. He's such a chunker. Matt is (meaning still) building my mother's day present along with my dad's help. It's almost done. It's a cute window bench with cubbies for Jackson toys. Cannot wait to get it because I'm running out of room. Then we went and visit my mother in law and nephew for awhile. It was such a busy day but a great memoriable Mother's Day. It was weird for me because I celebrated this day for years and now it's a day for me.I will try to post pictures of Jackson dedication and others I have been really busy this week my cousin is getting married on Saturday and I'm the Maid of Honor/Wedding Planner. If I didn't dye my hair blonde I sure you would see gray!!

First Easter

Let me start off by saying Holidays are so much more fun when you have children!! Jackson got so much for Easter it was like Christmas again. We woke up and went to church. He looked so cute in his little suit. Then we went home and let him open what the Easter Bunny brought him he loved everything. We got him his first soft baseball bat and ball, candy bunny, an animal for his animal train, and chicken that does the chicken dance, bath toys, and a shirt that says Perfect Gentleman in training.

Then we went out to my aunt and uncle's. Where he didn't do much but eat and play in a empty diaper box, (spend all that money and play in something we had). Then out to my parents where he got stuffed peeps and metal bucket with plastic eggs and candy!!! Thanks mom and dad. But I think mommy and daddy will eat that.

Ahh Yeah that's his!

Then off to Grandma Carrie's. For her mac and cheese and ham. yum!! By the end of the day he was so tired and fussy he slept from 9:00pm till 9:45am. Thank you!! Jackson has still not crawled but today he did take 2 steps while holding my hands he used to just stand there. Everyday he stand by himself longer and longer. He is holding onto furniture. Jackson is doing really great, he is eating all table foods not much of the baby food anymore. I can't wait to see how much his weight is now, he goes to the doctor next week. Length wise he goes from the top of my head to my waist. Crazy. I'll try to keep you updated!!

These was his Easter and 9mths pictures we had taken.

Getting Ready

So we've been getting ready for Jackson's First Christmas. We are all so excited I forgot to update the blog. I really didn't think I was this far behind but man I really was. But a lot has been going on shopping mainly and helping take care of my mom, she is doing a lot better now. Jackson is getting so big. Last Tuesday was his 5 months I don't believe. He loves to stand up and loves looking and playing with the Christmas tree. He has really started playing with toys recently it's kinda like he just caught on. He is so cute. We are so excited about his first Christmas. We have got so many toys for him. I kept saying I wasn't going to make a big fuss this year because he really wouldn't understand, but yet we went out and bought all kinds of stuff. IT'S HIS FIRST CHRISTMAS!! Well here is a few pictures from last week and of his 5 months. I hope you enjoy!!




OK so let me explain this one. I came across this at Toys R Us on Friday. It's a snowman snow suit/costume. It was soooo cute and on sale so I couldn't resist. He looks so cute in it. I know he is going to kill me when he gets older ;)

Labor Day

So we had a ok weekend. I end up getting sick. Thanks to my boys. But we are all better now. Jackson seemed to get over it the quickest. Matt still has a touch of it. My cousin Nici, Keith and Isabel came down to bring some of her toys to Jackson. And I had to shew her away cause I didn't want to get them sick. SORRY Nici! But we started feeling better Sunday. We went up to see our family who was camping without us again :) Next Year it's on!!! I think the fresh air did us some good. I went bike riding for the first time since I was like 14. Oh that was fun. Jackson slept the whole time imagine that. Sunday we went to some friends of ours church for their 50th anniversary party. Jackson was being so good up to the point where he started making the poop face ;) So I got up to change him and oh, it was bad. Being in a unfamiliar church looking for the bathroom. Getting in there realizing I had no more diapers. Then I had to walk all the way in front to get the keys to my car to get my extra diapers out. While everyone was looking at me trying to walk in heels for the first time since I was prego carrying a 2 month old. So I finally get out to the car. And lift his butt up only to find poop going down his leg. He had it all over his cute little brand new outfit. So I get his wipes out only to find I had 2 wipes left. Then trying to think how in the world I was going to make this work. I find a bottle of water thinking I can do this. Then realizing I had sample wash wipes in the car. Thank You!! So to make a long story short I finally got him cleaned up to walk into church right when everyone was walking out of service. The End!! But it was great party after that. Jackson is doing so good. He really got the hang of holding his up now. His getting big but he can still wear his newborn outfits.
