A few randoms

                                             
These are some pictures I have been meaning to post for a bit now.

Before we moved to our new home me and Jackson would sit at the front door and wait for daddy to come home from work. This is Jackson waiting for daddy!

                                             

Here he is again! When daddy would pull up he would say dadadda with a huge smile on his face!

Here Jackson is a few weeks ago at the beach. He loved to play with the sand.



I am in the process of getting our new house all unpacked and pretty before I take pictures and post. We are almost done! It def feels like home here now.



Jackson's first trip to the Beach!

Jackson's first beach trip was an experience. Our little family went down to VA beach two weekends ago with Jordan's Mom and sister Danie. We had a lot of fun there. Jackson LOVED the sand and wanted to throw it everywhere.

We also went on a bike ride on the board walk, ate yummy burgers with crab cakes on top, had ice cream, and laughed a ton. Here are some pics of the bike ride!

I don;t know if you can tell in the picture but the shrubs spell out love!

We are having so much fun this summer with my brother David, and Jordan's sister Danie here. I have to keep remembering to take pictures so I can show the blog world our fun adventures.



Father's Day

We had a great Father's Day with Jordan. I surprised Jordan with Breakfast in bed. Then we gave him his gift. A new Hammock! We have been wanting one for a while now so I decided to get him one. Here is my boys opening it up!

One it was all put up they tried it out!

 Jackson loved laying in it with daddy



Later that day we went up to see my dad. Here is Jackson playing outside.

Jackson wasn't in the mood for a picture I guess.

I forgot to take a picture with my dad but even though I didn't we had a nice day with him.

Happy Father's Day!



ZZZZZzzzzzzzz

We have broke Jackson...Well I think we have? Last Friday Jordan and I decided we need to sleep, well at least I needed to sleep through the night. Wait I mean Jackson needed to sleep through the night so WE could sleep through the night. Yeah that's better. We had tried some stuff before but nothing really worked because I couldn't just let him cry, the we tried the go in every so many minutes..that just made it worse. So we just decided to rock him to sleep, then when he wakes up we are not getting him.

The first night was interesting. He slept for a few hours then at 1am he woke up and cried for an hour. Then he stopped crying, but he wouldn't lay down. He just sat up in his crib until 5am. I went in there to check on him and couldn't believe he was still sitting up. I felt so bad so I picked him up and he fell right asleep. 

Night number two we did the same thing. I was really worried he was going to do this sitting up thing again but he didn't. He cried for 15 minutes around 12:45 then at 3 I went to see what he was doing and he was passed out. LYING DOWN! thank goodness.

Night number 3 was even better. He didn't wake up at all. And same for night 4. Night 5 he did wake up but he put himself back to sleep rather quickly. So I am hoping this is it and we have broken this kid! 

I came home from teaching my class Monday evening and this is what I found..so cute.

Jackson with his cousin Cooper. I could not get Jackson to look at the camera. Then there is little Cooper who practically poses when he sees a camera. 

Here is a smile!

Jackson's first Baseball game

Jackson went to his first baseball game last Friday night. He LOVED it. He did really great considering it was a 7pm game. He loved when the crowed would cheer. We had a great time together. Jordan's company was celebrating there 10th anniversary so they treated everyone and there families to the game! It was the Nationals vs. Orioles. O's won! WhopWhop. It was fun to meet all of Jordan's co workers. We will def be taking Jackson back to more games this summer. :)

He is Jordan and Jackson at the Center Field Gates.

Again here they are with one of the presidents...honestly I don't remember who this was. The only president that was obvious to me was Abe...so I had to read the back to the Jerseys to tell which one was which.

Can you see Jack just staring around at everything. We had the hardest time getting him to look at the camera. Can't wait to go to another game with the fam!

This is typical Jackson climbing up onto something.  He looks so chubby. Love this squishy baby.
