My little fashion model

While packing up some of Jackson's baby clothes, he found this hat and mittens. His Auntie Jenna gave it to him in April, when she came to visit. He was not interested in wearing it then. He would take it off the second I would get it on...that's not the case anymore! We are also practicing primary songs, and here's Jax doing head, shoulders, knees and toes:
Head..


Shoulders, knees..



And toes..


I didn't get the rest of the moves, cuz I was too busy laughing, but here's a few more silly poses..









Mmmmmmm tasty! Lol

One photo 3 ways

I made this photo of Jackson look really cool. Enjoy. I like playing with effects on photos. Makes them look much cooler!








The end!!

Suzy

So when I was little we had these dolls. Mine was called So Shy Sherri, my sister Jenna's was called So Surprised Suzy. This is Suzy..


Jackson takes really good care of her. He holds her, rocks her and talks to her.


What a good big brother he will make one day!!
Today I caught him taking care of Suzy again today..


First we hold her and pat her back...


Then we lay her down....


And peek in her diaper to see if it's "stinky"...


And that's how Jackson cares for Suzy;)

Some photos of me and a bath journey

Here are a few photos of just me.









And here's how Jackson's baths usually go..first they start off grumpy...


Then it gets awesome...





And then becomes more awesome....


Then it's gets silly...





And it finally ends with kisses:)


The end!

The water spritzer

So I have a water spritzer, and jackson loves to spray himself with it and drink it till he's soaking wet. Luckily this time he was in the bath!

A day with Daniel at the park

So we watched our friends son a few weeks ago. We had a fun day and I took the boys over to the park behind our house.
Daniel was so excited to go down the slide.





More sliding


Look at these faces!!! Lol crack me up!


Oh, Jax found something...


What's that? It's an empty Mt.Dew can? That's the only time you'll see my son holding one of those! Lol


Yay for swinging time!





The end! I love when Daniel comes over to play! Jackson loves having a buddy to play with!

Elmo and teething

More teeth came in! It's a good thing we had our Elmo to keep us company!



Loves chewing on his fingers when he's teething..

A hot day in the car!!!

So, sometimes we take Danny to work so we can have the car. Sometimes Danny takes a while coming out. And sometimes Jackson spills cheese-its all over the car and in order to clean him up I put him in the front seat. This time it was all three. Here's photos of my cutie dying of heat while waiting for daddy.











Poor tired hot little guy. We survived though, just in case you were wondering!

Jax splashing in puddles and Stadium of fire

this is my little man splashing in puddles. you can hear some of the new words he's learning like "rock" and "stick" and at the end of the video he is begging to do "sparkles" which means sparklers:)

Fourth of July

I know that i am behind on posting...so here are a bunch of posts to catch me up!
So for the 4th we had Natalie and Brian come over in the evening and we BBQ-ed and did fireworks and let the kids play in the pool!
First earlier that week, me and mom, and my friend Betsy had a craft night. We made firecrackers!!! how cute are they? mine is the one on the left, mom's in the middle, and Betsy's on the right! They came out really good.

 (sorry is picture isn't right side up....my phone is acting up and i can't get it to rotate, oh well)

Jackson loves doing "sparkles" (aka sparklers) so of course we had a do a bunch of those!

Then we did more bigger fireworks with Natalie and Brian. this first one is of Brian and Addy lighting the fireworks...

 me calling Jackson back after he was getting too close to the action...this is him walking back to me...

 sitting safely in our lawn chair watching the action, i love Jackson's face in this one...

 surprising him with kisses!!!

Daddy carrying Jax away from the action.

 and here's a shot of one of the fountains we did. it looked better in person trust me! lol
