Little Boys Dream



They are still working on the road close to our house. Jackson constantly watches from the window. Yesterday, I took Jackson outside to watch. He loved it but he wasn't so happy to come back inside. Luckily, they aren't leaving any time soon!

Park Playdate

Yesterday, Jackson, Cy and Annabelle had a playdate at the park. The boys had a blast and Amanda and I had just as much fun catching up on our girl chat. Last night, we went to the Leach's for dinner and Jackson and Cy got more playtime together. They are becoming such good friends!

Sweet dreams

More weekend pics

Sunday, we went on our first family walk since Annabelle was born. Jackson started off with his usual duty - walking Maggie. He quickly decided he wanted to take over Daddy's job and push the baby in her stroller. At first he let Daddy help but he became too independent for that. He wanted to push the stroller all by himself. In the other pic, he was trying to help Mommy with her work! Such a sweet boy!

Saturday afternoon

Yesterday was a sunny but chilly day. In the morning, Russell took Jackson to wash the truck and they stopped by Sonic for a drink with a straw. You know, the straw is the most important part. Jackson was so excited to show me his drink when they got home that he tripped and fell when he was running toward me. His little drink cup (luckily just filled with water) broke. Sweet daddy emptied his tea out so Jackson could have his cup. As you can see the cup was a little big but Jackson didn't care. He drank out of it all day.

In the afternoon, a local winery was having a Mardi Gras party that was supposed to be a "family" event. When we got there they didn't have many activities for Jackson. He was ready for an exciting afternoon so I quickly thought about the mall playground. It is indoors and geared for small children. Jackson loved it. He found a red truck that was a slide. Since it was a truck and it was red, he kept calling it the firetruck. While we were there, we went to the pet store to check out the animals. Needless to say, he didn't want to leave. As for Annabelle, Russell and I forgot what it is like to have a newborn. We left the stroller at home! So, we toted her around. Russell held her while Jackson and I played. Next time, we'll remember the stroller!

More Annabelle pics




Girl's Day Out

Yesterday was beautiful so Annabelle and I had our first mother/daughter outing. We took Maggie to the vet, went shopping and to the grocery store. She was an angel the entire time. Mommy is looking forward to many, many more of these afternoons!

Where's Maggie?

Maggie looks so different after her haircut, Jackson doesn't recognize her. He keeps calling her "Beya" which is Bella, my parents dog. This morning, Jackson and I had a little outing. He went with me to take "Beya" to the vet. I had my hands full but he was such a good boy! On another note, how cute is his shirt! It says "I dig my dad" and has a tractor on it.

Texas Tech B'ball

The Leach's invited us to the Tech basketball game yesterday afternoon. We sat in the suite so we had plenty of room to spread out. Also in attendance was a 2 year old little girl who tried to hold Jackson's hand but he would have none of it. Some other friends had their 5 1/2 month old little boy, Tytan. And some other friends had their newborn, Bellamy. Ballamy was born 2 days after Annabelle. Needless to say, it was a little wild but we had a great time. Jackson loved playing with Cy. Amanda and I made many attempts to get a good shot, to no avail. Annabelle was an angel, as usual!

A few more pics . . .


Jackson and Cy

Last night, the Leach's came over for a cookout. Jackson was so excited to see his buddy Cy. It is almost impossible to get a good pic of the both of them so here are a few attempts.

Hanging around the house

I am taking more pics in all our free time around the house. These pics speak for themselves but I will say Jackson loves peek-a-boo. He loves to hide anywhere including dog kennels, laundry baskets, cabinets and his tent. He definitely keeps us laughing!
