Oh my...

Jackson is sleeping in a BIG boy bed!! Michael and I decided that it was past time for Jackson to be in a toddler bed. We had to make sure his room was "Jackson" proof before we converted the crib. He has two closet doors which have locks now since he can open them. We had to put the door knob baby proof "things" on the bathroom door so he would not go play in the toilet. Finally we had to make sure the baby gate was secured. I will absolutely croak the first time he crawls over the baby gate and makes his way downstairs!!

Here he is playing in his crib for the last time!! He really liked getting in there and jumping!

Helping daddy convert his crib to the toddler bed! This was early Saturday morning before I had a chance to take off his pjs!


Crawling in his big boy bed for the first time!

FREEDOM!!

This first two mornings we went to get Jackson he was on the floor in front of his bed! We did have a nice thick quilt (thanks Boom) to put in front of his bed in case he got out and decided to sleep on the floor! Day three he was still in the bed when he woke up! Michael and I are waiting to hear him play in the middle of the night. I'm sure it will be sooner than later!

2k

This past week has been exciting! Jackson started 2k and has loved it so far! I just hope he continues to love school this much. We think Jackson out grew his daycare. He loved going there but all of a sudden he wasn't happy. He wanted more to do and 2k was the answer!

Eating breakfast before his first day of school!

Dressed and ready to go!

He looks sad here but that's probably because I was crying like a baby when we left him! He actually didn't cry. He had tons of toys to play with and his good buddy Reese was in his class.

Here's a family picture. Thank goodness this was taken before I cried too much.

Austyn's TWO

Last Friday Austyn had her birthday party at the Playzone!

Yummy to Jackson's Tummy

Since little Jackson is sick right now, I thought I would post something fun from our recent beach trip. Jackson really liked these little "ice cream" cones which were really chocolate dipped marshmellows in teeny little ice cream cones. Perfect for his little hands.

Random Pictures

Here are a couple of random pictures from our vacation this year! It has been so much fun - I hate for it to end.

Hugo - 20 Years later

All is well in Garden City 20 years after Hugo! It was neat being at the beach that was just about destroyed when Hugo came roaring thru.

Beach Time

Pool Time

Jackson really liked the kiddie pool. He wanted to shoot the big water gun but wasn't big enough!

He was such a big boy walking around the pool taking in all of the sites. He didn't know what to do first.

I think we could have stayed at the beach house and let Jackson play in the sink! Who knew he would sit there as long as he did playing with his sippy cup.

Fun in the Sand

It took a while but Jackson finally started playing in the sand.

This is what entertained Jackson for a long time! He would find a shell and push it into the sand. It amazed him! I'm sure we will be doing this when we head back to the beach in a few weeks!

Finally...

Jackson had his first hair cut. Carla was wonderful! When we arrived she opened a drawer that was full of rollers for him to scatter all over her shop. He loved them! I always thought that the first hair cut would be horrible with Jackson screaming and having a fit. Thank goodness I was wrong! He played with the rollers and Carla sat on the floor with him to trim around his ears. And yes- that's all he needed was a little trim around his ears. Maybe before his starts first grade he will need a "real" hair cut!

Dirt, Dirt Baby

Some little boy LOVES playing in the dirt these days!

Summer Days

Cupcakes

Jackson and Austyn LOVED the cupcakes my mom made!

Shopping Spree

Guess who loves to shop in our new pantry?

It's the same little boy who likes to throw everything on the floor!!
