Pool Party Madness

Yesterday, we spent a lovely afternoon at Emma, Adam, and Flynn's pool with the Manchas. There was fabulous food and drink! We all had a wonderful time, and Jackson fell asleep on the way home...a sleep from which he did not awake during the diaper changes, pjs, etc. His eyes didn't even flutter. Today we went to John's pool and again had a relaxing time. J loves the water! PS I have to say that I LOVE the "daddy duty" picture!

Hanging with my buddies

We've been having a lot of fun play dates. Here is J and his friend Flynn.

Memorial Day

We had a pretty low key Memorial Day. Troy worked all day on Monday, and we spent Saturday and Sunday looking at houses and taking care of house business. Hopefully, all of that will be over before too long. My mom was here for most of the weekend, and it was really good to see her. My friend Seda made a special Memorial Day tee for Jackson, and Jackson thought the beer box was the best toy ever. Poor J also got munched by mosquitoes over the weekend. It looks like we dropped him off in Panama.

Art Car Parade

We joined John and Jody for a trip to Houston's art car parade on May 9th. It was HOT, but John had a hook up for great parking. We enjoyed seeing the crazy car creations, especially Jackson as you can see. We also stopped at Gravitas on the walk home for a cold beverage. It was a great day! I also have to give much thanks to Uncle John for coming to the house and watching Jackson so that Troy and I could celebrate of our 5th anniversary after our babysitter canceled last minute!!

Jackson in everyday life

So, I got an iphone recently, and I've been snapping pictures of Jackson almost daily. Here are a couple from the park, the yard, the bath, etc. I am so crazy about this baby---this is such a fun age, and he is a sweet angel (angel, yes, napper, no). I am truly blessed to be his momma.

More fun in Horseshoe Bay

Road Trip

At the beginning of May, Emma and I took the boys to Horseshoe Bay. Jams joined us for the weekend, and we had a really nice time. We got a sitter one day and went to the spa (Happy Mother's Day to me). We also took a yoga class at Sana Vida (which is an incredible place in Marble Falls--I highly recommend it). I enjoyed Emma's fabulous cooking, and we all enjoyed being close to the water.

Jackson and his buddies

Jackson has been spending a lot of time with his friends Flynn and Henry. They love to "share," clap, stand, and play. It's very cool to watch them grow up together.

Just a few shots of our boy in April.

Meeting Baby William

Jackson and I got to meet William's baby William Riley Roberts in April, as well. He was born on April 15, 2009. He is the sweetest little thing. Jackson can't wait for him to grow up so that they can play.

Quick Trip to Hondo in April

We went back to Hondo for a wedding the weekend of April 18th. We got to spend some time with all of the family. Here is Jackson with his Papa, his Pop and Grammy, and at the wedding.

Jackson took his first steps today!

We were at Emma's and Flynn's today when Jackson went from standing on his own to taking three steps to come to me! It is very exciting times!!
