Modeling New Clothes

Jackson and his excavator:



Sorry this is blurry. Also, he spilled water- he did not have an accident!

Sidenote: Jackson had on Brady's bulldozer for a while, but I failed to get a picture of that!

Thanks again Megan- the clothes are really cute!!

Hook 'Em

Once again, it is mommy's favorite time of the year. Introducing our newest little longhorn:





Our older longhorn refused to put on the jersey and take pictures. This made Daddy proud!!

Jackson Stories Part II

September 2, 2009: We started a PDO program one day a week with Jackson. We were playing on the playground and there was an old school gray metal trash can- Jackson walked up and lifted the top:

me: thats yucky jackson- don't touch trash
jackson: i'm looking for oscar the grouch!

September 5, 2009- My mom was in town visiting-

grancy: jackson are you a big boy
jackson: (after thinking for a second) i'm a child

Jackson still wears a diaper at night. One morning I was changing his diaper:
me: jackson poopoo is disgusting- it needs to go in the potty
jackson: no- poopoo is a little bit funny.

jackson walking around with a pair of binoculars on his chest-
me: jackson what are you doing
jackson: making milk for brady
(hmm- maybe should stop pumping in front of him!)

Proof that Jackson listens to us even though he does not always act that way:

talking to Daddy: "don't throw clothes daddy, only throw balls"
talking to Reagan (14 month old) who was yelling in the car: "we yell outside Reagan, not inside"
using the bathroom: "don't peepee on the seat and don't make a mess"

whenever Brady fusses Jackson will bring him a toy and say' "its okay Brady- don't cry" and hand him the toy.

the other day he was pushing around his grcoery cart with a stuffed elephant inside and he was saying over and over again: "i'm walking him back to sleep" (just like we used to do when Brady was little!)

And now the little man has gotten smart- every time he ha to go to timeout on the stairs after about 30 seconds of sitting there he ALWAYS says: "um, mommy, I need to go peepee"

playing with the phone:
me: jackson who are you talking to?
Jackson: Poppy (Grandpa Savino)
me: oh what is he doing?
Jackson: he's eating pasta

First Day of School

Jackson had his first day of Paddington. He looks like such a big boy and I love his little backpack.

Here we are getting ready to leave.




Here we are at school, playing with toys and hanging out with Shane and Ian:




After these pictures I left and many tears ensued. Jackson had a bit of a tough first day of school. After many tears though he did have fun. Jackson has had a crazy couple of weeks with a new nanny and two new schools (Paddington and Park Hill PDO). But, he is doing great and enjoys school with fewer tears every day! He is growing up too fast!

Taste of Colorado

We went to the Taste of Colorado this afternoon. It is a fun festival with lots of good food to sample and fun rides for the kiddos. The crowds were crazy. And, I only got a couple of pictures of Jackson riding rides because I stood in line for 15 minutes for some funnel cake!! It was well worth the wait!

Jackson and Dustin rode this whale ride once and then Jackson wanted to go by himself. He loved it and throughout the ride he would raise up his arms if the other riders did. So cute!!

Grancy Visits

My mom came to visit the boys this weekend. I did not get many pictures of her with boys. But, they had a lot of fun hanging out with Grancy. She watched Brady while Jackson and I had our own little playdate, read many books with Jackson and even babysat so Dustin and I could enjoy a kid free evening!

Thanks for coming to visit. We all had a lot of fun!!

Cutie Pie

He is seriously too cute!




This is Jackson's hat and it is not even that big on Brady! This kid has one big head!!

Bath Time

We got Brady a bath seat so it would be easier to bathe the boys at the same time. Brady loves taking bath with Jackson. Brady pretty much loves any time spent watching Jackson!!
