Just for Fun...

Jackson wore this adorable new outfit (thanks Jennifer and Johnny!) to church today, and we just had to take some pictures...

Rock Star Day!

Yesterday was Rock Star Day at Jackson's school! He wore his "I want to rock" T-shirt and his new, black motorcycle boots (thank you Aunt Lu-Ann and Uncle Dennis!) with zippers on both sides! He couldn't stop talking about his "rock star boots," and he was showing them to everybody! He also had rock star hair, but with hair just like his mom, it only stayed that way for about 30 minutes. Oh, and he carried his red electric guitar to school with him too. I tried to take some pictures before school, but my dying camera battery didn't allow me to get many good shots. Here are a few just so you get the idea...

Easter in Mobile

We spent Easter weekend at Mimi and Pop's house in Mobile. A lot of family happened to be in town for the weekend, and we had a great time! Cayden (who was born a week and a half before Jackson) stayed with us, and it was so much fun to watch him and Jackson play together! This was the first time they have really interacted with each other, and they were great playmates...too bad we live so far from each other. There are several posts from our weekend in Mobile below, so take a look! We hope you had a Happy Easter...we sure did!

We've Got Talent!

Daddy and Uncle Scott - synchronized juggling!

Grandma Rosie and Jackson playing the piano
(Grandma Rosie is amazing! She can play just about anything by ear. She even played Jackson's favorite song, "Baa, Baa Black Sheep," while he sang along!)

Mommy and Jackson
(not quite as talented as Grandma Rosie, but I did take lessons for a few years!)

Hanging Out on Easter Afternoon

Tug and Yoshiya having a stare-down.
(Soon after this, we discovered that Tug had eaten a dirty diaper right before this picture was taken! Sorry, Yosh!)

Happy Birthday, Melissa, Pop, and Yoko!
(and Connie, too, but she was unable to be there)

Papa Ray is pooped!

Behind the scenes...this is what is really going on! How many cameras can you count?!

Easter Pics

Here are a few Easter pictures. (Most of us had already changed out of our church clothes, but we left Jackson in his cute little Easter outfit that Grandma Rosie and Papa Ray got him for his birthday!)

Goin' on an Egg Hunt!

Indianapolis

Last weekend, we went to Indianapolis to visit Erik's family. Grandma came down from Minneapolis, and we stayed with Jamie, Brian, Mckenzie, and Annika!
We played around...
Jackson loves the swing

Jackson had lots of girl toys to play with, but he was pretty excited to get back home to his golf clubs and baseball bat!

Annika reading a book to Jackson.
Annika and Jackson had a lot of fun playing together, and Mckenzie was a great big cousin and helped us watch over Jackson!


We went to the Children's Museum...
