Meet Jackson and Stone:

Our boys are the light of our lives, and we can't imagine life without them! They are so blessed to have so many people in their lives who love them unconditionally and we are just as blessed to be given the privilege to be their parents!

This blog is a chronicle of our boys lives. All the milestones, all the fun times, all the silly things they do, and all of their messes!

This blog is to keep everyone up to date and to document all of those memories of our lives together that we never want to forget!

Memphis Zoo - October 2013

Finally the weather is so nice, we decided to take a trip to the Memphis Zoo! Jackson was genuinely excited about all the "naminals" this trip! He would say "Woaahhhh! Look. At. That!" and "Check it out!" among other things! And he really knows his animals too! We were pretty darn impressed with all the animal names he knew - some of them we have never heard him say! He is one smart boy! :)
 
 
 
Jackson and mama! We love the "nelephants"! :)
 
 
 
 

Jackson and the alligator!
 
 
 
 
 

Having a little photo shoot while daddy waits in line to buy us tickets!
Jackson was saying, "Get the tick-ets daddy!"
 
 
 
 
 

"Woahhh!"
 
 
 
 
 
 

"Look. At. That!!!
We found LOTS of interesting things this trip!!
 
 
 
 

Jackson and his daddy!
"Check it out!"
 
 
 
 
 

We chose not to pet the stingrays on this trip, but we still posed with one! :)
 
 
 
 

Kimono dragons! It looks like Jackson is getting a kiss from that "dragon"! Jackson thought they were pretty cool; I, on the other hand, think they are creepy!
 
 
 
 

And who can believe that he rode in the wagon at least half of the time? We couldn't believe it! He was glad we had it toward the end too because he got tired! Was dozing off sitting straight up in the wagon as we were getting ready to leave!





My big boy!
 
 
 
 
 

My two handsome boys!
 
 
 
 
 

When did he turn into such a big boy!?
 
 
 
 
 

"Panda! It's a Panda bear!!!"
 
 
 
 
 

Jackson and his daddy!
 
 
 
 
 

I don't think this is how you are intended to pose in this spot, but I think it is pretty darn cute! :)
 
 
 
 
 
 

I love walking and holding this little guys hand! He really is the sweetest thing!
 
 
 
 
 

And we got to feed the giraffes! I was so excited! :)
 
 
 
 

 
 

Look at that tongue!
 
 
 

We had so much fun feeding the giraffes! It was AWESOME! I totally recommend you feed them if you visit the Memphis Zoo. So fun!!!
And one of them licked me! Gross. :)
 
 
 
 

And moments after getting in the car, you guessed it! He was out like a light!!
 
 
 

And he had a hard time waking up - he was wore out!
But mama got to snuggle a little, so I didn't mind too much! :)

Look how big my boy is getting!
 
Oh my.
 
Crazy.
 
Slow down buddy!
