Fun Weekend!

Jackson finally got over his ear infection and is feeling much better so we took advantage of the nice weather and took Jackson and Chris to the zoo-a first for both of them. Apparently, everyone else thought they would go to the zoo on Saturday, too. It was super crowded and not many of the animals were out. But we did get to see some-girraffes, bears, fish, birds, monkeys...so that was fun. We had a nice picnic, too.

 





We rented the new Footloose movie after the zoo and had movie night.

Sunday we went to Cheyenne so Chris could shoot his new gun. He really liked it, but he got an awesome bruise on his shoulder. I even shot it once, too. It has a nice kick to it!! Jackson was so cute, he had his camos on, hat, sunglasses and ear plugs.  I wish I would have had my camera. But he had a lot of fun playing in the dirt.

While getting ready for a bath, Jackson decided to unroll the whole roll of toilet paper, then when he got caught he acted like he didn't do it....

   

After 3 weeks of hating bath time, he finally decided he likes them again!! Yay!!



Pool Time

 

Today, we had a playdate with my friend Ally and her son Conor. We originally had planned to go to the toddler open gym at the Windsor rec center, but it turns out it is spring break so they cancelled it so the big kids could play.  So we went to the Greeley Family Funplex to the water park.  Jackson loved playing in the water, standing in the fountains, going down the water slides, playing in the waterfalls and floating along the lazy river. I don't know who had more fun, me or Jackson, I love being in the water!!! He even fell asleep before we left the parking lot. Swinning wore him out! We will definately have to do it again soon.



Wordless Wednesday

One Year!!!!

Happy 1st Birthday, Jackson!!! I cannot believe how fast this year has gone by and how much you have changed. Your little personality is coming out more and more everyday. We had a wonderful John Deere birthday celebration with family and friends. We had BBQ sandwiches and dirt cups for dessert.  You are growing SOOO BIG, but you still have a lot of boot left to fill!

  At 1 year, Jackson, you:

~are walking all over the place

~love to read books

~are learning to communicate by signing, pointing, or saying "ah" or "yah" or "no no"

~recently decided you do not like bath time anymore

~love to brush your teeth (you now have 6, 3 bottom, 3 top)

~like to feed yourself and try drinking from a cup

~blow kisses and "wink" more like a blink-but sooo cute

~like to play at the park, climb on everything, swing and go down the slides

You got so many new toys, books, tractors, clothes, and puzzles.  we are going to have so much fun!

 You look so COOL in your new shades!! We are ready for summertime!!

 You even made the "I'm a Big Brother" announcement! Wht a surprise-you brought tears to everyone's eyes!

 Aunt Leanne helped make your dirt cake-with a tractor and worms! You seemed to thoroughly enjoy "diggin' in"

 After all that fun and excitement, you walked right over to grandpa, and he picked you up and you fell right to sleep in his arms. 

Jackson, you have brought so much joy into our lives, I can't even remember what it was like before you were born. I love to watch you learn and grow, you suprise me everyday with how much you observe and take in. I like trying to understand you, even though you don't say words it seems we can always figure out what your trying to say. You are the sweetest little boy! I love you!!!!!
