Jackson is TWO!!

3/12/11
Can't believe my baby boy is 2. He is growing up so fast, and he is at such a fun stage! Very curious, loves animals, loves looking at the birds and bunny in our yard, loves throwing rocks, loves watching movies, etc. He calls hummingbirds "mama bird" because we had one that had a nest in our yard, so now all hummingbirds are "mama bird" and he can spot them all over! It's crazy! He loves going to the park, swinging, going down the slide, chasing the birds or just running in general. He starts at one point and says "on your mark, get set, go!" Or "ready, set, go!" then runs to wherever his end point is. He loves to "race" whether it's his cars, toy animals, or his dad and mom. I'm sure people get a kick out of a very pregnant woman playing chase with her 2 year old at the park! He learns so much each day, and his vocabulary is growing like crazy! I love to hear him say "yes" when I ask him a question. I also love to hear him say "hippopotamus", it is so cute! He is learning to count to 10 and does a great job! We are also working on his shapes, alphabet, and learning to say his name. When asked how old he is, he throws his hand up at you and says "two". We are working on just the 2 fingers up. He seems to be excited about his "baby sis" that he comes and loves and jumps on daily. We love our little man so much! Here are a few pictures of his special day!

We are set for Disneyland now that he has a mickey mouse hat with his name on it!

Treats and swinging


We had a combined birthday party at the park. Grant (the boy on his right) and Jackson are only 1 day apart.

It was a beautiful, hot day at the park. Also a bit windy but overall the party was fun.

He mostly liked the frosting!

Happy 2nd Birthday Jackson! Mom and Dad love you!!

The Phoenix Zoo

3/8/11
We took Jackson to the Phoenix Zoo for his 2nd birthday. We were in Phoenix to get Josh's cast off from his surgery in January and thought we'd have a day at the zoo. Jackson loved it and we had a great time seeing his excitement over seeing the animals. He was very excited about all the birds at the zoo...silly boy.


Viewing the kangaroo's.

We was a bit nervous in the petting zoo but had a lot of fun petting the goats!


Apparently the goats really enjoy eating the zoo maps. This older lady was fighting the goat for her map, it was pretty hilarious actually! The goat won.

If you look closely there is a monkey in the tree behind Jackson. We got to go into their habitat and be right with them. Jackson loved it, but I couldn't get a good picture!

Love these 2!
Jackson did awesome at the zoo, the best little boy ever!

Seeing the giraffe's and other African animals when we first got to the zoo.

Colorado for Grandpa's 96th Birthday

3/25-3/28 We went to Colorado for a quick weekend trip to celebrate Lindsey's great-grandpa's 96th birthday! We had a great time playing and catching up with relatives, being in the snow, and seeing lots of wildlife!
