First birthday, Last post.

A whole year old now, Jackson has stolen my heart many times over. My favorite little boy is growing right up! Take a peek at his birthday fun HERE. Since I've been spending most of my time chasing after Mr. Jack, I'm going to start posting everything at THIS BLOG so I don't have to do it twice. Thanks for visiting this page, it's been fun!

Jackers,

Mama loves you with aaaaall her heart. Happy happy birthday my little man!

LOVE

Mom

364 days...

I feel like crying today... I don't know, I feel like my baby, well, can I call him my baby anymore? Jackson's birthday is tomorrow. I'm so happy, I'm so proud of him for everything. But this whole year, I've been feeling good about "moving along" with him. I haven't felt sad at all, noticing how big he's getting... and it's just so obvious today, that he's my little boy instead of baby. Well, here's to you little man. I love you more every day sugar. You keep being the fantastic person you are. Happy almost first birthday!

Buzzing around the windows... sorry it's so cold outside today!







Love you so much kiddo.

Mommy's little pumpkin

Sure love you kiddo. You make every season brighter and more vivid. 4 days until you are the big O-N-E!!

just under ONE

Always the animated little bugger. Can't get him to still still or smile for the camera, but I love these pictures the best anyway. Yesterday little Cubber was one month away from his very first BIRTHDAY! Proud mama, that's what I am!

Little stinker stole my lens cover and I still can't find it...

Stir-crazy

Well he's not shy about telling me what he wants... outside! He's definitely getting more mobile, and the other day I turned around and he was standing behind me, not holding on to anything!

Auntie Sara

Jack is one lucky boy to have his Auntie Sara. This weekend was a busy one, we went to Sara's house to visit and decorate :0) or shall we say re-decorate... Jack destroyed the order. Or at least the coffee table.

We also went to a very important celebration for Jack's cousin Lieym. A Brewer's game gathering to celebrate Lieym kicking cancer to the curb! Click HERE to view some photos from the tailgate party!

mashed potatoes...where?

Oh boy, little Jack. Not sure what to say about this one, other than I think you're the cutest little thing EVER! You're the funniest little guy I know, and I hope mashed potatoes smell as good as they taste...

nekke

yes you, kiddo. naked and glowing white in the back yard. too cute!

...and now that you're clothed, hiding in the closet. maybe you didn't want Dad to see you trying to eat the sunblock?

tiny ten month toes

well jack man, i can't believe you're ten months old already. you are my little honey pot, cream puff, peanut pea, jack jack. i love that your favorite thing to say is "oh WOW" because it matches your view about life! everything is new, interesting, and worth a "wow". you are the cutest little man and i love you soo so much. 

Man to Man

Sure love you Grandpa. Thanks for stopping in to visit with me! LOVE! Jack

not sleeping anymore

Aaand so...

Now that you're not in your carrier car-seat and get to sit in the front of the cart, why not throw your first fit in a store. :0) You yelled at me through three aisles of people stocking from palettes (so it was hard to get through and took even longer) because I wouldn't let you chew on a bag with raw chicken in it. What a rotten mom. 

Love you anyway Bruce.

supermarket sleeper

oh my dear jackers...

how many people do you have wrapped around your little toe already. :0)

one lady that works at pick-n-save grabbed your toes while you were sleeping in the cart, even though there was sock lint on them. she said, "to be that content, when is someone going to put me in one of those (carseat) and let me sleep?" 

the man behind the meat counter said what a good shopper you were, and i don't know how many "knowing smiles" i got from people walking past. you just looked so peaceful and sweet. my little honey, i love you so much! and you're getting big so fast, crawling for 6 days already! you're a star. keep being sweet, my love. xoxo mom

Me and Dad

dad, i wanted to tell you how much i love you. you're my favorite dad EVER. some day when i get more hair, i'm gonna do it just like you do in the mirror, when you splash water all over it.

you're always happy to hold me and show me the world.
and when i get tired, you take me to a quiet shady spot and let me rest on your lap.
best of all, you pray for me and teach me that God is my father too.
i look up to you Dad. you're my hero.
i'm glad i make you happy too, Dad. happy father's day!

LOVE! jack

my newest love...

...is my little monkey boy!! I ordered this hat online, and man did I flip when I saw it. TOO cute!! You can order them HERE if you like them as much as I did!

camping at home

So many fun things to do, investigate and learn at our favorite campground, Nana -n- Papa's. All the kids have such a great time, and us old people appreciate the running water and t.v. after a long day in the fresh air. God has truly blessed us with his beautiful creations, and our family!
