Killed them already...

It's a sad day... Jes, Jackson and I went to Kelso for a little football get together, came home and Jackson's goldfish died!! The one was dead when we got home and the 2nd one is struggling. How in the world do you keep goldfish alive??

tired of being sick

Jes came down with pretty nasty cold on Friday morning and it's just progressively been getting worse and worse. He's still not completely feeling well. I was convinced I wouldn't get it, then I was up throwing up last night. NO FUN!!! So as I'm in the bathroom throwing up, crying of course, it upset Jackson, so poor Jes being sick and to help both of us. It makes us miss our family being so close!!! I'm feeling a lot better tonight!! Now we're just hoping Jackson doesn't get it. So far, so good! We decided that we had to get out of the house tonight, so we just took Jackson for a little walk to a school down the road to play. Since Jes and I were wearing our hats, we decided to get his Seahawks hat out and he kept it on the whole time!! I was impressed!!! I guess if Daddy and Mommy are wearing one, he will too!! He looks so cute in it!! Well, at this time last night we were all sound asleep, so I'm off to bed.

I don't know what to title this...

As of yesterday Jackson is 1 year and 1 week old! My baby is growing up!!! We've got all settled back at home, put all his toys away and put more toys together. The other day I put his trike together. He loves it!!! Although, same with his fire engine car, he'd rather push it! He'll learn. He continues to be a joy in our home.



The other night I decided to go and get him fish and a fish tank. He loves them!! He thinks they are just too funny!! It's the only pet I'll allow in the house. =]



Last night we were "rough housing" with him on our bed... jumping on it, and it BROKE!!! Beings as our bed frame is wood, it is fixable. It will just mean getting the time to fix it. So last night we blew up the air bed out in the living room and of course that got Jackson really excited... Needless to say, he wanted to sleep with us, so none of us slept well. Then Jes and I both woke up feeling sick. I think the combination of lack of sleep and business has something to do with it for both of us.

Jackson's Birthday Party

Well, I survived Jackson's first birthday party!!! It's over, and I'm relieved!!! It was a blast and it turned out very well, or so I thought!! I'll add some pictures for you all to enjoy!!! If you want more details, just read NaDell's blog. She was very detailed!!! =]

My little dude is OFFICIALLY 1!!! I took this at 9:51pm on his birthday!!

Birthday Boy!!!

There's my birthday boy!!! Don't you love the shirt!!
Opening his present.

Jackson's having a good birthday!!! He woke up and we made pancakes and sausage. I put syrup on his pancakes for the first time today and his face broke out a little. Luckily by the time we went for pictures, it was gone! After pictures he zonked out of course and we all took a nap! That was nice!! When he woke up I fed him some spaghetti. Now he's watching his movie. I think I'm going to take him to the mall soon to ride the carousal and play on the toys. He loves that!! I'll put some birthday cupcake pictures up tonight probably.

Could someone please tell me where this past year has gone?!?

I just can't believe that my little baby is going to 1 tomorrow!!! Where in the world did the last year go? I've heard it only goes faster every year following. He's had such a good first year. Nothing major and we still love him!! Tomorrow he has pictures at 10am. I'm going to make him cupcakes and that way he can "blow" out his candle tomorrow! I feel like a basket case. It's sad that he's not a baby anymore!!! Does anyone have a baby I can borrow? I need a baby fix!!! Does anyone have ideas on how to get him to quit grinding his teeth? It's driving me crazy!!! There will be another update tomorrow for sure... maybe even two!
