When I first started this blog it was so exciting and I couldn't wait until I had something to post about. And now it is starting to feel like such a burden...does anyone else feel the same way? Well anyways, it has been awhile so here are some highlights from the last month or two of our lives.
Gus and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary in March, so to celebrate we planned a weekend get-a-way to Park City in April. Due mainly to my fear of leaving Jackson overnight it turned into a family get-a-way, which actually turned out great and I am glad we brought him. Jackson loved the condo, and especially loved the shower and huge soaker tub. He kept walking into the glass shower door because he couldn't see it...funny and sad. We spent a lot of time and too much money at the outlets, swam, went for walks, went site seeing, and ate a ton.
This was the view from our bed...too cool.
Jackson is now 18 months and full of personallity. He recently decided that it would be super cool to have an attitude and LOVES the word no. You know how on cartoons they ask the viewers questions, like Mickey Mouse asks "do you want to come inside my playhouse"? Well Jackson even responses to that with a solid, non-waivering "NO".
My sister-in-law Melissa and I took all 5 boys to the zoo a couple of weeks ago. I felt like all I did was yell their names and constantly count to make sure we hadn't lost one. But it was a lot of fun and the boys loved it. Somehow we got them all to sit in one place to get a picture of all 5 grandsons...arent they too cute? I just love these boys.
I had a great mother's day. I recently started playing soccer again so I got new soccer cleats and flowers. Here is a picture of Jackson and Grandma Russell. My poor mom...everytime we go over there all he does is brings her book after to book to read.
Jackson absolutely loves to play outside. First thing he does every morning is go find his shoes and bring them to me. Then he goes to the door and pounds on it. So needless to say, we have been spending a ton of time outside.
Here is our recently finished sandbox which provides hours of entertainment.
So there is a snapshot of the last 2 months or so of the Hytonen family...thrilling isnt it?

I totally hear you about blogging being a burden, my design blog takes way too much time and it feels like this huge homework assignment hanging over my head.
I love that Jackson has a backyard to play in! He is getting so big, I just want to kiss those chubby cheeks! I can't believe it's been five years since your wedding day, time sure does fly, happy belated anniversary!
Gus,
