Horton Hears A Who!

The local theater offers free movies during the summer for kids, so today I decided to try it with Jackson. It was a great success! I was expecting to have to leave the movie early but Jack did great and sat through the entire movie!! The pictures aren't that great but I was so impressed with my little boy and had a really good time with him! Now that I know he will sit through a movie, I'm excited for Garrett to be able to take him when he gets home. With his popcorn and candy, he was the perfect date!

Baby Girl!

I went today for my 33 week ultrasound appointment and the ultrasound tech was able to get a couple good shots of our little girl. She mostly kept her hands in front of her face, and even threw up a peace sign for us! Her pictures look a lot like Jack's did when he was in my belly. Everything looks great and pretty much on schedule so it won't be too long until I'm dressing her in head to toe PINK~!!!

Grammy's Glasses

While we were in Indiana, Jack tried on my mom's reading glasses. I'm sure it wasn't very good for his eyes at all but I thought it was one of the funniest things he's ever done. He kept touching the floor because it looked closer than before! I cracked up!

Big Swimmer!

While we were on vacation we took advantage of the pool in our little community. The water was really warm and Jack REALLY enjoyed swimming. So much so that he didn't want much help, other than his arm floaties! I'm anxious to see how swim lessons will go in the upcoming weeks now that my little 19 month old is a big swimmer!!

A quick message for Daddy--Jack's new word is "cheese!"

Kiawah Island

For the 3rd leg of our trip, Garrett's parents took us on vacation! We went to the beautiful Kiawah Island, SC. There were several members of Garrett's family that were able to go so it was a really good time. Although Jackson is used to the beach--he was NOT used to the warm ocean water (it's extremely cold in CA), so our little boy was water-logged EVERY day! We had a fantastic time and are very thankful we were able to go on such a fun vacation!

Me and my favorite boy!

Swinging with Mommy--WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS! For one thing, after we did this, it was ALL he wanted to do. So, of course--we indulged. Later that evening we discovered Jack's wrists were black and blue!! Sorry pal--who knew swinging around would cause such horrible marks?!!

my handsome boy--strutting his stuff!
