Fire Chief

We're still here! Just haven't taken many pictures lately. Jackson is still obsessed with playing "golf clubs." But, he loved this firefighter hat he got tonight. . .

Playing Golf

Have I mentioned that Jackson is obsessed with golf? He LOVES to play "golf clubs." Yesterday when I picked him up from school, he greeted me with, "Go home, Mommy? Play golf clubs with Daddy." (Meaning he wanted to putt the golf ball in the living room with Daddy - and he wanted to do it right then). So, Jeremy took him to the First Tee to practice putting tonight. :)

Our 4th of July Weekend

We had a great holiday weekend with Jeremy's family. Jackson and Judson are really enjoying playing together - they were busy all weekend long. Dirt, golf, water, tractor = fun for the boys. It also equals at least 2 baths a day for the boys (right, Heather?). :)

Uncle Jarrod let Jackson drive the tractor. . .

The paparazzi

Jackson loved the water - and managed to find the sprinkler. We ended up stripping him down - and everyone stood there and watched him for at least 10-15 minutes before dragging him inside (Judson was not interested in the water). :)

Playing golf (imagine that)

Playing in the dirt at Judson's house

Still could not get Judson in the pool (but we got closer). :)

Going to McDonalds for lunch!

Whew. What a fun-filled weekend.

Outside Time with Mimi & B.B.

Jackson has been having so much fun outside lately - especially at Mimi and B.B.'s house. Jackson loves to swim, play "golf clubs", dig in the dirt and play baseball (Mimi saw how much he loved Judson's t-ball set, so she got one to keep at her house). :) Thanks, Mimi and B.B., for letting us come over and play whenever we want to. We love making fun memories with you!

Just posting the above picture because it cracks me up. J was being funny at dinner time a couple of days ago. So, I snapped a picture with my phone. This precious face ended up in timeout just seconds after I took this picture. Can you believe it? (Yes, throwing food at our house will land you in timeout). :)

Sand and Water

I guess we've been pretending like we're at the beach. . .
a little bit of sand (at a bday party - Happy 3rd, Jackson C!)

And a LOT of water. . .


Helping Mimi "water" her plants

Swimming with B.B. in the pool. . .
(Thanks, Mimi and B.B., for letting J spend the night with you)

*On the subject of water. . .Jackson is really loving the water, so we always talk about "being careful and safe in the water." Tonight when we were reading Jackson's Baby Bible storybook (click here to see this past post about J's favorite books), we were reading the story about John baptizing Jesus. Jackson pointed to the picture and said, "Be careful in the water, Jesus." It was all I could do to contain myself.

Judson's Birthday Party

Cousin Judson turns 2 on Wednesday! Heather & Jarrod threw a fun, family, dig-in-the-dirt party this past weekend. We had such a great time - Judson & Jackson played so hard and had a blast together.

Hugging when we first arrived

Reading Judson's books
(I think they pulled out ALL of Judson's toys while we were there)

Aunt Heather ordered the boys their own personal pizzas! :)
(everyone else had great barbecue)
The birthday boy enjoying his cake!

Playing baseball and golf

Digging in the dirt

Working together to fill the bottle with water. . .
(this is my favorite picture from the weekend)

Jackson LOVED Judson's pool and slide.
He could not talk Judson into joining him. :)

Judson - Happy 2nd Birthday! We love you and are having so much fun watching you grow up. It is great to see how you boys are learning to play together.
Love,
Aunt Melissa, Uncle Jeremy and cousin Jackson

Happy Father's Day!

Jeremy,
Happy Father's Day! Thank you for being such a great husband and father.

We love you,
Melissa and Jackson
P.S. Jackson says thanks for showing him and cousin Judson how to work the iPhone. :) Pictures to come of Judson's fun birthday party. . .
*And Happy Father's Day to my dad (aka B.B.) - we had fun at dinner with you tonight!
