Jacksons Birthday Party/ Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day weekend we went to Boise. Brent had a Internship Expedition Wednesday through Friday so this was a good excuse for Jacks and I to tag along for the week. Brent had to stay in the Hotel with everyone while I stayed with my Parents. This is the first time Brent and I have ever spent a night a part in 2 1/2 years!! It wasn't easy but "Distance makes the heart grow fonder".
Thursday night we were missing him so we went and visited him at the hotel. We were able to take Jackson swimming for the first time! HE LOVED IT..were going to have to do this more often!

There is a lot of pictures so I tried not to write too much :) ENJOY!!!

While I was making Jackson's cup-cakes, Grandma slipped Jackson some cake batter :)

It was so funny because Jackson and Braden were playing pretty well together but soon I heard Braden saying "No Baby..No Baby" Jackson was going after his toys.

My Best Friend Nicole had her baby about a Month ago..We finally got to meet him!! It was short but were so glad we got to see him! They were living in Rexburg up until 2 weeks before he was born. We miss them needless to say...

Teagen and Jackson before church, they really are becoming good pals :)

While in Middleton Jackson learned what the horse is and what he says!

Jackson would continually point at my parents back door and say "dog dog, dog dog" but when it came to being close to him, he wasn't too sure about it!

Buck- my parents Golden Retriever

Jackson Loved jumping on the tramp!!

That was the end of our vacation. It was so nice to celebrate Jackson's Party with Family and to have everyone there. It was hard leaving because it seemed Jackson was finally starting to warm up to everyone. He isn't used to being around a lot of people..Two more semesters and we can hopefully move closer to one side of our family. (Boise/Dallas)
