Disney trip April 2011

Catching up!

Wow!! I can't believe I have not posted anything on our blog in sooo long. I guess now is as good of a time as any to change up the blog. I want to use it to post all the new things going on with the entire family. We are now expecting baby number 2, Miss Amelia Kate, in October. We are just so excited. Jackson seems to be getting more interested in the idea. He will now randomly ask me if the baby is hungry in there or is she kicking me. He is just the biggest boy now. I am going to catch up on posting some photos from our recent trips. We have been going and blowing all summer long. Jackson looks like a little surfer with his blonde hair and tan skin. I told him the other day that he is so brown and he quickly replied "No mommy i am wipe." He has been taking swim lessons as well. He is NOT enjoying the lessons but is getting so much more confident and brave in the water. He just loves entertaining anyone that will sit down for a show. He cracks us up with the knock-knock jokes and magic shows. He told Adam just this morning to sit down for a show. He started off "Ladies and Gentleman...and you too dad."
I have also been working on Amelia's room. I am actually using the same bedding that I Jackson had, just adding lots of pink. I have a beautiful dollhouse that was mine as a child that is in there. I am also working on framing my first ballet shoes to hang on the wall. I just love the idea of looking at those things when I go in there. Also, my grandmother gave me these little ceramic dolls with a number 1,2, etc. for each birthday. They are just so sweet. I am trying to find a way to display them in her room as well. Jackson's new room and playroom are upstairs. I ordered his bedding from Pottery Barn. It is a primary colored Madras Plaid and I added some of the things from the sports bedding to go with it. I found an antique golf club of Adam's and also Adam's baseball glove from high school to go in there. I think it turned out really cute. We also had a new queen size bed made for him. I LOVE it. I copied it from Pottery Barn as well. This man in Purvis can just build anything you show him a photo of.
I am going to get all caught up on posting photos THIS week and then the plan is to do a much better job with postings!

November 2010

This weekend Adam and I let Katherine babysit Jackson while we went to the LSU/Ole Miss ballgame. We got to thinking on the way down that it has been quite some time since we spent an entire day alone together....like well over a year! We had such a good time. Katherine was so excited about having both he and Emma all day! She said he was such a good boy. On Sunday we had our family Thanksgiving with my mom. It is always so great to see everyone. I love seeing Jackson, Emma, Colton, and Avery together. My grandmother seems to get so excited to see all the great-grandbabies too. Here are a few pics from the weekend.

Halloween 2010

We had so much fun this Halloween. Jackson dressed as a train conductor. He was just so cute! We went to Boo at the Zoo on Thursday and then trick or treated at the Kirklands'. Jamie drove us around on a hayride behind the tractor. All the kids loved it! Here are a few pics.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch in Poplarville. Jackson had so much fun. It was funny to see how last yearhe was so interested in the pumpkins and corn pit, not this year though. All he wanted to do was slide and do the duck race. My mom came and went with us. It was such a nice day!

Field Trip

We went on a field trip to the park for grandparent's day. Mawmaw went with us. It was so much fun but very hot! Watching Jackson play with his friends is so cute.
