So, here is a very recent pic of Jackson. So everyone calm down, you saw little man, and read further for more great pics and stories!!!
The following is of his entire birthday. He had a GREAT time!!! I know it was, ahem, 3 months ago, but better late than never right?
This is my attempt to decorate on a windy April afternoon. It turned out pretty good! Of course the decorations were Mickey Mouse!
This was his big present from Mommy and Daddy, Mama and Papa, and Nanna. This is how we had to cover it. HA!
I love how you can see the expression on his face when he first got a peek at what was underneath!
And of course, he had to ride the thing for HIS ENTIRE PARTY!!! Needless to say, the party was a big hit!!!
I had to beg and beg and beg not to have little man's hair cut for his birthday. I mean, I wanted it to look like that for the party for some irrational reason. Well, the day after the party, literally, we took him to get a hair cut just like Daddy and Papa.
I cried after he got that hair cut. He looks so big now!!!! I still can not believe it.
He has been doing great though, and getting too smart for his own good the little stinker! He always has a comeback, and is much more quick on his feet with them than his mommy is. HAHA.
He is now in love with Daisy.....They play together for hours. That is actually what is going on right now as i type this. The only bad thing is, they play rough!!! I don't get it at all, but hey, i'm not or have I never been a little boy.
This is in the entrance of little man's bedroom. Sometimes we have to put a stop to the romping they do, because one of them, usually Jackson, gets hurt. I swear I tell him all of the time to stop, but he takes after his father and does not listen at all. HA! Let's blame it on Dad....
This is always what Daisy looks like after a day with playing with Jackson:
I had Jackson with me tonight to watch a little tv to try to settle down before dinner, (he never does), and he watched the new, to us, Transformers.....this is a great pic of how much he was sucked into that movie!!! The little guy would not even look at you when you asked him a question.
We have picked a name for our little girl coming in October, hopfully for my sake the end of September. lol
Her name will be Maggie. Just thought you all would like to know. Jackson loves loves loves that name. He really does. One of his favorite songs is Maggie May, which is one of my favorite as well, and my mom's....hmmmm I see a trend here. Anyways, He is very excited about his little sister...sometimes. ha! I am a little nervous about him feeling left out whenever the baby comes, but have been including him in everything that I can think of. He helped me pick out the bedding for her when we put up her crib...and here it is.
Lady Bugs with paisley. Of course if a little boy helps pick out a bedding set, it has to have BUGS on it...I just made sure they were cute. ha!
So i am going to toot Blake's horn right now.
He was named Service Member of the Quarter. TOOT
He was named Airman of the year for His operation. TOOT.
He has been nominated for one of the 12 Outstanding Airman of the Year for the Air Force. TOOT.
Because of all of the above, he was one of the few to have a luncheon with General Petreaus and Seargent Major Hill a few weeks ago. I was lucky enough to acompany him. (thanks daddy for stressing that one. It was one of the coolest things I have ever been to!!) I was so darn proud of him! I could not stop smiling. That man does an awesom job with his work, and deserves every minute he gets with the recognition. I don't know what I would do with a man that did not have half of the drive my hubby does.
Of course, Blake hates the attention!!! HA!!! Too bad on this one honey, cuz you are getting it.
So my dear husband, as I said before, I could not be more proud of you. You drive me crazy sometimes, that is for sure, but I would never change a minute of it. I alaways tell people I am proud to be an Air Force Wife, and we ALL know that is true, but I am more proud to be your wife than any of it. I love you.
