"This-a-way Daddy!"

Jackson is very opinionated these days and he often tries to direct his mama and daddy...in the car, in the house, out for a walk....it doesn't matter! He says, "Let's go 'this-a-way" Daddy!" and points in the direction he wants you to go! It is pretty funny! :)

Fun afternoon with Mama!

Jackson and I spent the afternoon together at the park....it was such a beautiful day, we had to get outside and play in the sunshine!

My handsome boy!

Watching the ducks in the pond on his favorite "resting spot"!

The ducks walked right up to him today! They better be careful! :)
He was so excited....and maybe a little scared too!
He kept saying, "Hey look! There's a duck! Hey there "quack"! Woah...look at that DUCK!"

And we did a lot of running!
Jackson has earned the nickname... "Jack Flash" now!
He keeps me on my toes!

Showing out!

Showing out for HIMSELF as he watches his reflection in the glass of the entertainment center! He find himself very amusing... :)

Has anyone seen Jackson!?

....I can't seem to find him! He was just right here...

Oh my goodness...There he is! I found him! Silly boy!
(Now....go pick up all those toys that used to be in that toy box!)

Just a boy and his dog!

Playdate with Emily!

Jackson played with Emily (and her mama Brandi) while I went to the eye doctor the other day...I think they all had a better time that I did! :)

Slides, sand, and pretty girls...three of Jackson's most favorite things!! :)

Wagons and sidewalk chalk!

And...BUBBLES!!

It looks like a day of Jackson's favorites!
Jackson says, "Thanks to Mrs. Brandi and Miss Emily for such a fun day!"

Monkey Preschool Lunchbox!!!

Jackson LOVES playing the app 'Monkey Preschool Lunchbox' on my iPhone! And he's pretty good at it too! Thankfully, it's educational and he's learning letters, colors, matching, etc. Only problem is...sometimes he doesn't want to give my phone back!

Playing...

The funniest thing is....sometimes he has a hard time with the app because he accidentally gets his finger (from the hand holding the phone) on the screen, then it doesn't recognize that he's touching the screen to play the game. And this makes him so frustrated!! He will reach over, grab your finger, and touch the screen with your finger instead of his to try to make it work! Completely hilarious...and quite brilliant! :)

A day in the life...

....isn't this how everyone relaxes at the end of a long day? :)

Dinner and a Movie!

Thank goodness for the iPhone! I don't know how our parents did it...without technology :)

My Little "Artist"!

How do you like the new "art" on my kitchen wall? :)
Jackson says, "Who says sidewalk chalk is JUST for sidewalks??!!"

At least is wasn't marker, or crayon, or pen...

Cheese!

Marlie came to visit for the weekend...and Jackson loved making her laugh! He made silly faces, and smiled, and giggled all supper long! He put on a show for us!

Cheesin'!

All smiles for Marlie! He loves his cousins!

Sweet Cheeks!

My sweet boy...Don't you just love those sweet cheeks?!

Muffins!

Jackson said, "Nack!" and he decided that muffin looked yummy!

Delicious!

School pictures!!

How stinkin' cute is that?!?!
I am impressed that she got one good shot, much less FOUR! My boy is a mover and a shaker and doesn't sit still for pictures long...at least not for ME!

Love it! He is so cute!

A Monkey and a Zebra!!

My little monkey...wrestling and giggling with his zebra!!

Alivia's Visit!

Alivia came to visit Easter weekend, and we had a big time!
(and she was a very big helper!)

Jason and Alivia (and Jackson) did a lot of wrestling!

Silly boy!

Early morning snuggling! Sweet cousins!

And....we had to re-landscape the front flowerbeds. Alivia and Jackson helped. Well...Alivia helped and Jackson played in the dirt! :)
