Fort JacksonE

My neighbor got some new patio furniture and I asked her if we could have the giant box that it came in. Jackson and I made a fort in the backyard. He then wanted to turn it into a pirate ship! Pirates are his other favorite thing. We went to story time at the Library the other day and the lady let Jackson pick the book to read. He yelled a PIRATE book! We checked the book out after story time and have read it 20 times already. Here is a pic of Emma and Jackson in the tub. They were just too cute!!

Catching up

Jackson is just such a big boy these days. We are almost now two weeks diaper free! He did really well with his potty training. His new favorite thing is the movie Cars. We have watched it so many times. He has all the little cars to play with at home. We can't go anywhere without Lighting McQueen. The other day he told me he didn't want to drive backwards like Mater do! I knew then we had watched to movie one to many times. We recently got a new swing set. It took Adam and I 16 hours it construct it with help from Micah and "Uncle" Tim. It is so nice though and Jackson just loves it. We have also been enjoying the pool. I haven't captured any photos because we are ALWAYS in the water! Jackson's class also went on a field trip to the zoo. We played at the park and had a picnic afterwards. They had so much fun. Here are a few photos from the day. I finally got a picture of Jackson, Carter, and Jacoby. They are big buds!

Easter pics

We had such a great Easter. Jackson attended several egg hunts. He is so much like Adam. He was so slow getting the eggs. He would pick up one, examine the contents, then move on to the next one. He has loved talking about the Easter bunny, but after taking him to meet the bunny at the mall his opinion changed drastically! He then decided he didn't so much want the Easter bunny to come to his house. We left some lettuce for the Easter Bunny. Jackson came down the stairs Sunday morning and the empty plate caught his eye. He yelled, "That Easter bunny ate all the lettuce." It was so cute!

Zoo in New Orleans

Boy did we have a long day at the zoo in New Orleans! That is a big place. We had a very fun time. Jackson loved the elephants and the sea lions. He is getting so big and smart! He informed us that Panda's eat bamboo... That Diego is a good teacher!

Park and Zoo

Two weekends ago Adam and I took Jackson to the Hattiesburg Zoo and Kamper Park. He had so much fun. All he wanted to do was ride the train! We convinced him that you had to walk through the zoo to get to the train. He kept telling all the animals bye! He was on a mission to get to the train. He loved the park too. I was such a pretty day!

2nd Birthday

We had so much fun at Jackson's birthday party. I was a Backyardigans party. We had to move the jumpy indoors because it was so cold!! The kids loved the Backyardigans tatoos and face painting. Jackson was so excited. His face was priceless when he walked in and saw everything. He was so timid opening his gifts...all the other children helped him out though. The past 2 years have just flown by.

Boo at the Zoo

Jackson had so much fun. The first thing he saw was this huge blow-up Mickey Mouse. He ran up to it and said "Hey Mick Mouse" and just stood there like he was supposed to say something back. We got lots of treats! Great start to the Halloween weekend.
