Jackson "Shooter" News

Getting Back on the Wagon

2010-04-02T12:55:00.003-05:00

Okay, folks, I doubt anyone is still reading this blog because I have been so delinquent in posting, but a few things have happened in the last few days that I wanted to post about....so I just decided to post. Today was the first day Jackson was able to open his door, which since he's in a toddler bed now, means that he greeted us bedside at 5 am. GREAT.

We also had a couple other milestones this week...yesterday was his first time to actually get the foot action down to move forward in his cozy coupe red fire truck, and the day before yesterday he swallowed his first piece of gum. Long story.

Pictures to follow...

Jackson's First Trip to the Zoo

2009-09-08T20:57:00.002-05:00

This Labor Day we headed to the zoo! Jackson had fun, but we think he enjoyed the lion training session and the giraffes the most. He also got to enjoy his first sno cone!

Visit with Layla

2009-09-08T20:51:00.002-05:00

We recently returned from CA and a little visit with Vanessa and her baby Layla. Jackson loved Layla and always wanted to be touching her. He was really sweet with her. Layla is such a pretty baby and so good! J got to have his first trip to Bristol Farms, his first carousel ride at South Coast Plaza, and a visit to the Pacific Ocean. He was in heaven.

Happy Birthday to Lucy

2009-09-08T20:46:00.002-05:00

Lucy turned 2, and I was pretty bad with the camera. We're expecting some pictures from Cheri's sister. Jackson had sooo much fun at the beach! We had to drag him back to the house. We all had a good time.

Trip to Fort Worth

2009-09-08T20:38:00.002-05:00

In the middle of August, Jackson and I went to Fort Worth with Troy while he was there for depositions. We had a lot of fun--walked around downtown, went to a play area with friends, and hung out with Grana and Poppy.

Trip to Lake House

2009-08-20T21:49:00.003-05:00

We brought Emma and Flynn with us to stay for a week at the lake house in Granbury. It was a really nice break---we went shopping, spent time outdoors, and had a relaxing time.

Visit to Hondo

2009-08-20T21:42:00.003-05:00

We saw everyone, I think. Jackson spent some time with his cousin Case, got to see the cows, and had his first horse ride at a D'Hanis festival. It was a great weekend.

Visit from Pop and Lance

2009-08-20T21:39:00.002-05:00

Pop and Lance stayed with us for a night as they gathered Troy and headed to Venice, LA for a fishing trip.

More fun times with friends

2009-08-20T21:30:00.003-05:00

We celebrated Jackson's BFF Flynn's first birthday at Fundamentally Music, and it was lots of fun. Jams came for a visit, as well as Uncle John's mom Susan. We had a nice time at Onion Creek one warm afternoon.

Grana, Poppy, and Aunt Nettie come for a visit

2009-08-20T21:21:00.002-05:00

And you know what that meant?? Lots more presents for Jackson and Troy. It was a really nice weekend. On Saturday, we went to Galveston, and Jackson loved the beach!!

Jackson turns 1!!!!

2009-08-20T21:16:00.002-05:00

We celebrated Jackson's birthday by a morning with Super Why, presents, an afternoon at the pool with Lucy, and a Crave cupcake. He loved the icing!

Hanging out with my friend Flynn

2009-08-20T21:12:00.001-05:00

I am so negligent....

2009-08-20T21:01:00.003-05:00

As you've noticed, I have been derelict in my posting duties for the last couple months. We've had quite a bit going on, though. We sold our house, and instead of being in our new house as planned, we are in an apartment. Jackson turned 1, and Troy celebrated his 30th! We've been to the lake house, Hondo, Fort Worth, and more. Jackson is so fun. We're enjoying each season as it comes. He is climbing up on things, loves to brush his teeth, and talks quite a bit. We don't understand most of what he says, but he is very good with his pointing finger. :)

These pictures are at Uncle John's old apartment (yes, he lets me play with his fire starter), and at the Children's Museum.

Jackson Walks!

2009-06-19T18:54:00.002-05:00

Jackson is walking better everyday. It is so much fun to watch.

Pool Party Madness

2009-05-31T21:11:00.003-05:00

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

2009-05-31T21:08:00.002-05:00

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

Memorial Day

2009-05-31T20:55:00.003-05:00

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

2009-05-31T20:47:00.004-05:00

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

2009-05-11T21:33:00.002-05:00

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

2009-05-11T21:29:00.002-05:00

Road Trip

2009-05-11T21:22:00.002-05:00

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

2009-05-11T21:16:00.003-05:00

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.

Jackson, Jackson

2009-05-11T21:12:00.002-05:00

Just a few shots of our boy in April.

Meeting Baby William

2009-05-11T21:08:00.002-05:00

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

2009-05-11T21:03:00.003-05:00

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!

2009-05-11T14:38:00.001-05:00

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!!

Spring has sprung!

2009-04-15T20:50:00.002-05:00

Jackson had his first play in the sprinkler, take your clothes off, and eat a Baby Mum Mum on the porch day today. He loved it!

Easter Weekend

2009-04-15T20:44:00.002-05:00

We spent Easter weekend with Troy's family at the lake house. It was very relaxing, and we had lots of good food. Unlike Jackson's normal church nursery behavior, he was an angel at church on Sunday. Who knew?

Boys Boys Everywhere

2009-04-15T19:52:00.003-05:00

We had Julia and her two boys, Gabe and Elias, and Crystal and Henry over recently for a little play time. The boys had fun, and the moms had fun. Jackson is the youngest of the group, so it's fun to watch him react to the older ones.

Time with Pop and Grammy

2009-04-13T08:46:00.002-05:00

The weekend before Easter Jackson and I spent some time in Hondo with the folks there. I, of course, forgot my camera. Aunt Marcy did some pictures, though, and we're still waiting for some to be shared. Here are some shots, though.

Jackson the Easter Bunny

2009-04-13T08:34:00.003-05:00

We had a little pre-Easter photo shoot. Jackson and his bff Flynn took turns wearing the bunny suit. Neither of them was too keen on it, but we did manage to get a few good shots. Once again, the session started wonderfully and ended in tears. :)

Jackson the Plumber

2009-03-30T22:00:00.003-05:00

After a hard day of yard work, we finished the night off with a hot water handle that broke off while the hot water was running. Home Depot didn't have the proper part, neither did Super Wal-Mart---but my manly men had the water fixed first thing in morning after a quick trip at 7 am to Lowe's.

Jackson and the bluebonnets

2009-03-29T19:15:00.004-05:00

I took Jackson to get pictures of him in the bluebonnets this week. Unfortunately, he was not in the mood for pictures in the flowers. You can see for yourself how much fun we had!!

Jackson's Busy Week

2009-03-29T19:10:00.002-05:00

This past week Jackson mastered a number of things: he got his 4th tooth, he started clapping when he likes things that he does or that you do, and he conquered the art of carrying an item while crawling (ie carrying it in your mouth). We are very proud of him! :) He is busier by the week and putting everything in his mouth. He's keeping us BUSY.

Play time with Lucy

2009-03-29T19:03:00.003-05:00

Last Sunday, Cheri and Lucy came over for a little play time. It's fun to see Lucy and Jackson interacting---Lucy is definitely dominating at this point since she's older and completely mobile, but I think Jackson will be a force to be reckoned with when he starts walking. Mostly, they are sweet with each other, as you will see Lucy kissing Jackson.

Jackson at the RODEO

2009-03-21T21:51:00.002-05:00

We took Jackson to the rodeo on Friday for a chance to get up close and personal with animals of all shapes and sizes. He only really seemed to care about the chicks in the incubator--he didn't care about the cows, the sheep, the goats, the pigs, the rabbits, you get the picture... We had a good time seeing the sights and taking advantage of all the perks Troy earned by being a member of the Rodeo Express, one of the volunteer committees.

Jackson plays with his Daddy

2009-03-21T21:37:00.003-05:00

Jackson and Troy spent some time with toys and balls this afternoon. Jackson has started this thing where he holds a ball in each hand and then he holds his arms up over his head, as if a conquering gladiator...very cute!! He also has a very cute pair of sunglasses, but he resisted being photographed while wearing them.

Jackson's first trip of Spring to Onion Creek

2009-03-21T21:31:00.003-05:00

The weather here has been so nice that Troy and I strolled Jackson to Onion Creek one night this past week. We had a glass of wine, and he had sweet potatoes and pears. It was a fun little evening for all!

Jackson goes to the park

2009-03-21T21:19:00.003-05:00

Jackson and I met Molly and Everett this past week for some fun at the park. Jackson was a big fan of the swing. Jackson played with Everett's ball and spent some time in the swing. Everett is so big and talking so much---so many exciting things for the future!

Play time with Flynn

2009-03-21T21:14:00.002-05:00

On most days of the week, Jackson can be found playing with his friend Flynn. Here are a couple shots from this past week. There's also a picture of Flynn and his momma Emma.

Jackson's First Weekend Away

2009-03-21T21:00:00.003-05:00

At the beginning of March, Jackson spent Friday and Saturday nights with his Grana and his Poppy. Troy was in a wedding in Fort Worth, and they offered to keep him so that we could enjoy all of the festivities. He did great, and fun was had by all! Just FYI- the picture in the car is a break for Jackson while we were stopped at a gas station--we're not driving around with him in the front seat.

Puree Sessions

2009-03-04T22:23:00.002-06:00

My girlfriend Emma and I get together to make baby food for our sweet babes. It's more fun to do it together, and there's an extra hand to help out with the kiddos. The fingers on the table belong to Jackson.

Jackson's First Vacation

2009-03-04T22:05:00.003-06:00

We went to Club Med Ixtapa for 7 nights. We thought we would leave Jackson for half days at the baby club, but he was having none of it. We ended up having lots of family time. It was really nice to get away and relax. Troy took Jackson on long walks every morning, we spent time by the pool, and we watched the sun set into the Pacific Ocean to live music. It was a really good week.

Valentine's Day

2009-03-04T21:55:00.002-06:00

Jackson got some great bath toys and a fun outfit to wear on vacation for Valentine's Day. We had a really nice day.

Hanging around the house

2009-03-04T21:49:00.002-06:00

Jackson is pulling up on everything now. He is so sweet and happy. We love him so much and know we're blessed to be his parents.

Emma's Birthday

2009-03-04T21:37:00.002-06:00

Troy, Jackson's BFF Flynn, and Jackson all enjoying a fabulous brunch at Gravitas celebrating Flynn's mom Emma's birthday.

Jackson's Newest Skill

2009-02-08T20:08:00.002-06:00

This afternoon, Jackson pulled himself up and pulled open the bottom doors to the entertainment center. It appears that he was trying to pick out a movie. Let the fun begin!

Jackson's Cheeky Smile

2009-02-08T20:03:00.002-06:00

Jackson has started this smile where he scrunches up his nose and gives a big, big grin to go with it. He also sticks his tongue out for long periods of time. We don't know if he's trying to catch flies or what. The tongue out is harder to capture since he has been trained to smile at the camera, but here are a couple attempts to get his new, cheeky smile.

Jackson with Troy and Aves

2009-02-08T19:58:00.002-06:00

Jackson and Troy in their matching navy Polos! Jackson can also crawl over and annoy Avery, as well. They are actually getting along pretty well considering how it could go.

Hanging around the house

2009-02-08T19:29:00.003-06:00

Unfortunately, I was pretty sick for a week, then Jackson got a slight case of it. So, we've been staying close to home recently. Here are a couple shots from our homebound days. Jackson's newest trick is pulling up on everything around the house, as well.

Play time with Flynn

2009-02-08T19:21:00.003-06:00

Jackson and Flynn are best buds. They share toys, swings, blankets and all. We're having a fun time watching them grow up week by week. It was sooo sweet---this last week, Jackson bent down to kiss Flynn's head. Of course, I missed that shot, but I did get close...

Jackson goes to the beach!

2009-01-20T10:01:00.003-06:00

On MLK day, we drove down to Galveston. It was a beautiful day. We put Jackson on the sand and let him crawl around. He loved his taste (literally) of the sand and the water. :) I can't wait until he can get into the water.

At the house

2009-01-20T09:49:00.004-06:00

Jackson has been spending as much time as he can with his new friend Flynn. Also, since Troy's case settled, we've both enjoyed much more time with him. woo-hoo!

Jackson is 6 months old!!

2009-01-20T09:45:00.002-06:00

I can't believe six months have past since Jackson was born. I don't think time has ever gone so quickly and slowly at the same time. He is more wonderful every day. I love him more than I ever thought possible.

Visit with Auntie V

2009-01-20T09:05:00.003-06:00

Vanessa was here to visit recently. We also got to see her tiny baby bump---Baby Mazry is due in May. We had a lot of fun, and Jackson broke her in quickly with both a huge spit up and an explosive diaper in the first hour. V will be a most wonderful mother.

Jackson is crawling!!!

2009-01-20T08:58:00.002-06:00

One week before he turned 6 months, Jackson started to really crawl. He's up on hands and knees and all over the house. It is amazing how fast it happens. I will have to get Troy to upload the video. Also, how cute is he in his baby Crocs?

Christmas with Grana and Poppy

2009-01-20T08:36:00.004-06:00

Jackson rounded out his Christmas festivities when his Grana and Poppy came to Houston for a visit. Fun was had by all! He was trying really hard to crawl, slithering on the floor and rocking back and forth on his hands and knees. It won't be long.

Happy New Year!

2009-01-20T08:10:00.002-06:00

We celebrated New Year's Eve at home this year, but I think Troy was the only one to make it to see the ball drop.

Visit with Friends

2009-01-20T08:01:00.003-06:00

At the end of December, Jackson shared some sweet kisses with Lucy, met my friend Liz, and spent some time at the children's museum with his friend Everett. He seemed to like himself most of all at the museum.

Christmas in Hondo

2009-01-18T15:35:00.003-06:00

The day after Christmas, we traveled to Hondo to see Pop and the great-grands. It was a crazy time...Jackson has gotten so much better in the car, but he doesn't sleep as well at our destination. SO, Troy and I were half sleep-deprived by the time we got to Hondo. Still, it was good to see everyone. Jackson likes playing with his cousins, too.

Christmas in Austin

2009-01-18T15:21:00.003-06:00

We traveled to Austin for Christmas with Jams, John, William, and Jessica.

Christmas in Houston

2009-01-07T15:56:00.003-06:00

We had a Christmas with Uncle John one night. Then, we had a little family Christmas before traveling around to visit family. Jackson enjoyed the paper and the bows more than anything, I think. He loaded up in true fashion as the first grandchild on both sides...but I am getting ahead of myself.

Jackson in his Christmas outfit

2008-12-20T15:15:00.002-06:00

Grana sent Jackson the cutest Christmas outfit, so we had to take the opportunity to take some pictures. Who knows how crazy it will actually be on Christmas day and we wanted a good shot of our little man in his red and white.

After a brief stint

2008-12-20T15:08:00.002-06:00

without a camera, we are trying to catch up. Don't worry, there will be many pictures of Jackson's first Christmas coming up. In the meantime, we've been hanging around the house. He also likes his Exersaucer now, which is GREAT!

Jams has a birthday!

2008-12-13T09:52:00.003-06:00

After the shopping trip, we stayed another night to take Jams out to a birthday lunch. We did a little more shopping and ate at the best place, Mandola's. How old is Jams now? We'll never tell.

Trip to Austin

2008-12-13T09:46:00.002-06:00

The week after Thanksgiving, Jackson and I headed to Austin for a girls shopping trip with Grana, Aunt Neen, and Tonya. We had such a fun time (read I had a fun time and Jackson tolerated the shopping very well). Jackson had one day of shopping and one day of babysitting. I think it was a good mix. Is that a Yukon XL full to the brim of presents? Yes, I think it is.

Tree Decorating Time

2008-12-13T09:36:00.003-06:00

The weekend after Thanksgiving (yes, I have been derelict in my posting duties), we decorated the tree. We had food, drink, and lots of fun! I am happy to start this tradition with Jackson. He participated by eating an ornament followed by a candy cane in the wrapper. We had a really nice time.

Thanksgiving!

2008-11-30T16:27:00.004-06:00

We went to the lake to see Troy's folks for the holiday. Jackson got to meet his Mimi for the first time, as well. Fun was had by all---we ate and ate, watched Jackson, and talked about what a good baby he is.

More Friends Visit

2008-11-30T15:56:00.002-06:00

This past week Jenn and Brendan came by the house to meet Jackson, as well. I was proud that he did all of his tricks (roll over, scoot around, a little cooing, etc) for them. :) I also had to put the picture of Jackson in his hat and mittens on the blog---he's just too darn cute in them!

Party at Jackson's House

2008-11-30T15:48:00.003-06:00

On Tuesday night, we had our friends John, Crystal, Henry, Cheri, Lewis, and Lucy over for Crystal's pre-birthday dinner and cake. The boys Henry and Jackson are three weeks apart and finally starting to notice each other. It was a fun evening.

Jackson meets Jeremy

2008-11-30T15:40:00.002-06:00

Jeremy Brandon came to Houston this past week, and Jackson had the pleasure of meeting him. Uncle John came over, as well, and it became a Snyder Ag reunion of sorts. Of course, all attention focused on Jackson.

SANTA

2008-11-23T18:14:00.003-06:00

Sunday we took Jackson to see Santa. Of course, we didn't get the best smiles on camera, but he actually liked the jolly old guy. After his best smile and last picture, Jackson proceeded to spit up all over himself and Santa's white gloves. We were horrified, but Santa assured me that it happened all the time. :)

Saturday at the House

2008-11-23T18:09:00.003-06:00

We were all together this weekend for a relaxing time at home. The weather was beautiful, and a good time was had by all. While helping me put laundry away, Jackson discovered his new favorite teether toy.

Going to meet friends on Friday

2008-11-23T17:55:00.004-06:00

Jackson and I spent Friday at the mall with Lesa, Carter, and Olivia. I forgot to get a picture of everyone together, but I did snap a few of Jackson before we left for the mall. He was so good and let me shop and shop.

Guess how much I weigh?

2008-11-23T17:54:00.002-06:00

I can't believe that I forgot to post how much Jackson weighs---he was weighed last Thursday, and he tips the scales at 17 pounds! So, our dear boy is growing like a weed.

Brown Bear, Brown Bear

2008-11-20T20:52:00.001-06:00

What do you see? I see a sweet baby looking at me. He was really happy this morning.

Lunch with Daddy

2008-11-20T20:48:00.004-06:00

On Tuesday this week, Jackson and I met Troy for lunch. Since he's been working so late recently, it was a treat for us to see Troy in the middle of the day. Jackson was good for the entire time we were eating. We sat outside---it was a glorious day!

Daddy's Home

2008-11-20T20:44:00.002-06:00

Jackson is always so excited to see Troy when he gets home. I thought these were sweet pictures.

I'm 4 months old!

2008-11-16T12:22:00.003-06:00

On the 15th, Jackson was 4 months old. He is as cute and sweet as he can be. This past week, he got up on his hands and knees for a few minutes...so crawling is in the future. He wiggles all around the floor and his crib already. We are so blessed to be the parents of this sweet baby boy.

Long John Jackson

2008-11-16T12:15:00.003-06:00

We took these at the house last week---I can't believe how big he's getting!

Visit with Grana

2008-11-16T11:52:00.002-06:00

Grana stayed over for a few days after Halloween weekend. We shopped till we dropped because Jackson outgrew almost all of his clothes overnight. Here are a couple of pictures from the visit. I just have to point out how cute he is in his baby legs!! He got lots of compliments on them, too!!

Happy Halloween

2008-11-02T11:11:00.003-06:00

Jackson celebrated Halloween with his parents, his Grana, and his Poppy. They came for a visit on Grana's birthday.

Fun Facts and Funnies

2008-10-29T17:20:00.002-05:00

I can't believe that I forgot to mention Jackson's newest accomplishments: rolling over from back to tummy and feet pulling. He rolled over for the first time last Wednesday, and since then, he's discovered his fun feet. As a funny story on my housekeeping, the vacuum cleaner sent him into a screaming dither today. Guess I don't pull that out often enough??!?

Still happy

2008-10-27T17:38:00.002-05:00

Jackson caught a little cold while we were in Austin, but he is still happy as can be. He was so excited to see Troy and smiled at him all weekend.

Monkeying Around

2008-10-27T17:35:00.001-05:00

Jackson got this cute little outfit from Kyle and Marissa. He is SO CUTE in it!!

Trip to Austin

2008-10-27T17:05:00.003-05:00

With Troy in West Virginia, we headed to Austin for a quick visit. Jackson got to spend some time with his Uncles John and William and his Jams.

Hanging out at the house

We had a really nice time this past weekend. We watched some football, went out to eat, went on walks, and basically spent as much time outside as possible since the weather is so nice. Here are a few shots from the house.

Daddy dressed Jackson for the Aggie game

This past Saturday Troy dressed Jackson for our little trip to an outdoor place to watch the Aggies. Out he comes in his camo onesie under overalls....yikes....apparently, that is proper Aggie game watching apparel. Actually, it doesn't matter because Jackson looks cute no matter what. :)

Have you had your baby kisses today?

He gives them open-mouthed with lots of slobber. :)

Baby Legs!!!

2008-10-16T17:01:00.002-05:00

I absolutely love baby legs, and since it was a little bit chilly this morning, Jackson got to wear his! Troy isn't too keen on them, but I think they're adorable!!

Babywearing

Since I am a "hippie," I have a baby sling. Troy said that he could "get into this babywearing thing," though after he sported the Baby Bjorn.

Jackson wears burnt orange??!?!

We decided that Jackson should be able to support at least one winning team this year. So, here he is in his UT gear from his UT support club (Dave and Courtney). Troy was sad that he looked so happy in these pictures, but what to do??

Jackson's New Actions

2008-10-10T13:17:00.002-05:00

Starting last week and into this week, Jackson has been turning over from his tummy to his back at least once a day. I don't know that he controls his turns because he still gets surprised sometimes. Also, he started blowing bubbles last week. Very cute and a little slobbery. He has also been trying to sit up from a number of different positions.

Sweet Baby

I couldn't resist this sleeping picture. I think he has the sweetest little face in the world!

Jackson and his Jams

We also went to Kyle to have lunch with Jams. It was good to see her, and her new office looks so nice!

Jackson and his new friend Micah

2008-10-09T21:12:00.002-05:00

My friend Katie (Case) Mitnaul just had her own bundle of joy on Sept. 28, 2008. Katie have been friends for many, many years (25?!?), so I was very excited to meet her sweet son. Katie's mom Bobbie and her grandmother also got to meet Jackson.

Jackson and his Mimi and Papa

2008-10-09T20:59:00.003-05:00

We went straight from Grammy's house to visit Mimi and Papa. It was a busy day for the little guy, but he was a real trooper and showed everyone his sweet disposition. He also got to see his Aunts Jackie and Melanie and cousins Kelley and Ashley.

Jackson and his Pop and Grammy

2008-10-09T20:51:00.003-05:00

From Kyle and Marissa's, we traveled to Hondo and had a fabulous lunch with Pop and Grammy. Jackson also had his first encounter with bulls. He did not seem scared in the least when they came close to the truck.

Jackson visits Kyle and Marissa

2008-10-09T20:29:00.003-05:00

We spent the last couple of days in San Antonio with our friends Kyle and Marissa. From their house, we traveled around to see other friends and family.
