What a Big Boy!

Jackson is very interested in his potty these days...no luck actually using it yet. He likes to sit on it and clap for himself! He also got his first haircut this week. It was really just a little trim to calm down his crazy curls in the back. I wouldn't say he enjoyed it, but he was a good sport to sit there and eat LOTS of treats while she cut his hair.

P.S.- sorry for the lack of blog posts lately. Ryan's sweet Granny passed away last week, so we went to Abilene for the funeral. This week we've had the lovely stomach virus.

P.P.S.- I am officially in my 3rd trimester!!! WooHoo! Can't wait to meet our baby boy. :-)

Valentines 2009

Our Valentines weekend was WONDERFUL!!! Friday night Ryan came home with gifts and told me he was taking us out for dinner. He brought Jackson a red Hot Wheels car and brought me a dozen roses and 3 new Tyler candles (my fave). So my boys took me out to Escalantes and to walk around the town center...so fun! Saturday we had a bday party and then my parents hosted an elegant Valentines dinner for us and Ryan and Kathryn. They went all out, and we had a great time! Sunday was a good day of church, lunch with our small group, and relaxing at home. What made the weekend even better was Ryan had today (Monday) off work! We got an extra day to hang out, go to lunch, shop, and play with Jackson.

Jackson did 2 VERY special things this weekend for the first time:
1. He said his first prayer (longer than amen)... "Dear God, thank you, In Jesus Name, Amen"
I wish I had this on video, b/c it was PRECIOUS!
2. He said GranMartha's name! He had been calling her "HeHe" the past couple weeks and finally said GranMartha "GanMaka" this weekend.

He likes to get REALLY close to the camera now!

Jackson's Fun Weekend with Nana & Papa John

Jackson had the BEST weekend!!! His Nana & Papa John came to visit. He was so happy they were here and is really missing them today. I think his favorite part of the weekend was going to the zoo. He keeps talking about the animals and pretending to be a monkey!

This was a tunnel to crawl through under the aquarium

The zoo is exhausting!

Jackson says "thank you" for his new Valentine's I Spy book.

What a fun and BUSY weekend!
