Pictures

This weekend we took our 6 month pictures! It just so happened that it was time for Makena's 1 year pictures and Owen's 2.5 year pictures. We decided to do it together because "O" was in town staying with Weeb and Herm while John and Amy did Napa and quite frankly it made it that much more affordable dividing it by 3 families! I love a good deal especially when it has to do with Chubby Foot Photography (aka Makenzie). Here is a few (ok allot) of my favorite pics.

*In case you are wondering Makena is my sisters little girl and Owen is my brothers little girl*

busy bee!

Wow, where has time gone!! Where did January go? In the past 3 weeks here is what we have been up to....
1. Trip to Urgent Care
2. Trip to Texas Childrens ER
3. Trip to Orlando, Florida for work
4. Trip to a Pediatric Gastroenterologist
5. Moved out of my parents house into our new house!!

I'm tired just looking at my list...I know I left something major off but I can't think of it! You are probably wondering what the heck is wrong with Jackson with the majority of these trips made for him. He is fine. We had some scary times the past few weeks and I couldn't ignore them...We think we may have kicked the whole acid reflux thing out the door. I'm not getting too excited but after seeing the Gastroenterologist we have switched up his medicines (again!) but something seems to be different about our combination now...Wait, is it because he's not constantly crying?!?!?!? Woo hoo! My sweet Jackson is almost completly back! I know now, that I have finally admitted that its fixed that we will go backwards again. I pray that we dont! At the rate we are going, this is the third time that we think we have it cured...So, I'm not jumping for joy quite yet :)

We are finally moved into our house. I remember saying like a week ago that I didnt think I would ever get moved in. Well, we said it this morning, that our new house is starting to feel like home. We absolotly LOVE it...Never thought I would say this, but we LOVE living in the suburbs. Its so wonderful, nice, quiet and friendly out here. I love coming home from work and seeing 15 kids at the park. I love putting Jackson in the stroller and going on a walk. It's perfect for us and I can't wait for Jackson to grow up here!

Here is my precious angel being as happy as he can be! If you could only hear these adorable little squeels that he makes! I should upload some video....maybe next blog post?!

Super Bowl

I think I heard that the Steelers were playing in the Super Bowl this year!?!? Did I hear that right? This is for Grandma and Grandpa Todd....and all of Justins family for that matter. They are all from "The Burgh" so I'm sure this will be appreciated by someone!

Happy birthday Mom!

We had my sisters family and my parents over to celebrate my moms birthday! We got some take out and celebrated in our new home!

                                     

She was so excited about her gifts! Please excuse the sheets that were covering the window behind her...We were waiting on the shutters to get installed!

Makena's 1st Birthday party!

We recently celebrated my niece Makenas 1st birthday party! It was such a fun day with kids, yummy food, a clown, cake and presents galore! Makena wasn't quite sure what to think of all these people who came to celebrate her....She wasn't really into it but everyone else had a blast....Not that she didn't, she just didn't know what to think :) The theme was "Butterflies and Balloons". Kathryn and Neale went over board. I told here that I was going to have to hire her for Jackson's first birthday!

Jackson enjoying the party! Haha!

The birthday girl!

5 months!

Love this little boy to pieces! There is no greater love than the love between a mother and her little boy...Doesn't get much better than this :)

Loves flipping over when he's getting his diaper changed to look at himself in the mirror.

Trying to sit up but he kept falling over :)

Happy New Year!

It's hard to believe that 2010 is gone and we are moving forward to 2011. This past year will be one that I will never forget....Here's a few of my favorite memories!

Being pregnant! This is me on my way to the hospital. I really LOVED being pregnant!

AND, the absolute best day of 2010, much less our life, was the birth of our son Jackson!

Cheers to 2011! I'm pretty sure it wont beat 2010, but hopefully it comes close!
