My 21st Birthday

Tuesday Morning I woke up to to Brent singing "Happy Birthday" to me.
I could smell breakfast made and I knew this was going to be a good day-
Jackson Loves when Brent plays guitar. He always wants to touch it and play with him.

I walked down the stairs to find this.. Eggs & Bacon with Chocolate Milk and Marshmallows..along with some pretty flowers!

As I was eating Brent proceeded to do the dishes!!! What a man!!!

We took a walk. It was pretty nice out and the sun was shinning.

My boys..I love them and they made this day really special!

Kisses for their girl

Jackson being the monkey that he is Getting into everything!

Brent got me some "Mormon wine" in his words. (aka sparkling cider)

And made a GREAT Steak Dinner!!

He than took me to "The Blind Side". Might I add this is a great show and if you haven't seen it I would highly recommend it!!

And that that night we had some Birthday cake!! Thanks Mom for Sending me a cake mix!! :)

Brent planned some pretty nice things during the day! All along the way taking pictures. He sure made this day a special one. Thanks everyone for your birthday wishes!!

9 months old

Jackson is growing up so fast! I can't believe he's already 9 months old!
Here are a few facts about him so far:
Dr. Says he is STRONG for his age and very healthy
18lbs 10oz (averaging 23rd %)
27.5 In. Tall (averaging 25th%)
Waves Hi and Bye-Bye
New words are : "iii"= Hi, "Baaa"= Ball
Pulls himself up on objects and walks along them
Has taken a few steps on his own
Finally is figuring out that trying to walk isn't the only way of getting around-trying to crawl more now
When Daddy puts on his coat Jackson thinks its time to go "bye-bye and cries until his daddy picks him up.(Me taking him outside does not do justice)

He's starting to figure out the stairs.
I thought this pic was funny...

We sure do Love Jackson James!!

Lately

Not a lot of excitement has happened lately. So here is a few pictures over the past couple weeks. Jackson is growing and learning to crawl and walk. He's definitely maturing into his personality!

Daddy and Jacks watching the fishies..

For Valentines day we ordered some pizza on Saturday night and spent the evening in. Valentines day after church we made some home-made french Fries. Brent had seen on the cooking channel to use "peanut oil" to deep fry them in. So one they we done we salted with "Johnny's Season Salt"--These were the Best Fries by far that I have ever had!!!

My valentines gift (Strawberry Chocolate blizzard DQ cake)

Jackson loved playing with the top of the valentines Cake lid!

Brent and Jeff went ice fishing Last Saturday with the Elders Quorum- they only caught one but had a blast so they went back on Monday and tried again. No luck that time. What an experience though for them to be able to go Ice fishing!!

Here is a Little video of Jackson saying Ball = "Baa Baa Baa" purring with his lips and sticking out his tongue. He is always full of animation and so much fun to have around
