Little Slugger

Jackson had his first t-ball game this past Saturday and it was a success!! He loved it and he did so great, we were so proud of him! It was about 2 degrees with Lubbock wind, but he was a trooper and played hard. He hit the ball hard both times he went to bat and got a home run (wink, wink :) ) the first time! The boys were darling in their little uniforms and it was cute watching the dads on the field helping them. Several of the kids from his soccer team are together again, plus a few more from Jackson's class at school so it has been fun to see them all play together. Go Rockhounds!!!

Pep talk from dad - actually dad was telling him that he could hit the ball further than Luke to get him to go to bat!

Team effort in getting the ball...so cute!!

Catch up

I have not posted in a long time! We have just been loving this beautiful weather and staying outside as much as possible! Spring Break was a fun week, going to the Botanic Gardens with YaYa and Heston, going to the park several times, hanging out with the Miranda's and having a couple of play dates with some friends from church. Heston came to spend the night and we went to the Irons for a chili cook off. It was a great week. Here are a few pictures.


My Jackson is getting so big and is quickly approaching 4...I can't believe it. He is such a sweet boy and loves his mama! He is a lot of fun to hang out with and have little conversations with. He is a funny kid and so loving. He reminds us a lot of John and how he is always wanting to make sure that others are ok. Makes me smile :)

Ella is 14 months old now and a handful to say the least! She is starting to really try to talk and likes to make animal noises. She says "mmmm" for a cow, throws her arm in the air and makes an elephant noise, says "ah ah" for a monkey and Heston has taught her to growl like a tiger. It is really cute and I caught it on my cell phone so here is a clip of it.



She loves monkeys and she loves to "talk on the phone" and just jabbers away when she gets a hold of one. She is all over the place and looking to get into things at all times!

The loves of my life!

I love this, he looks so cute :)

Little Cowboy

Jackson has decided to be a cowboy like Daddy, Grandpa, Uncle John and Uncle Brad. He said that he no longer wants to be Spiderman, just a cowboy. He got some new boots, a hat, jeans and a belt and wants to wear them everyday, he looks so handsome!





Ella wants to be like Bubba...
