Nerd!

Jackson loves to grab at Gus' glasses. So the other night we decided to let him wear them. Doesn't he look like such a cute nerd?

My New Adventure

Exciting news....as of September 26th, I will offically be a full-time stay-at-home-mom. I cant wait. I am going to miss all my friends at work, and I may actually eventually miss work itself, but I cant wait to be with my little boy full time. Here are some recent pictures of my little buddy.

1st Haircut!

Today Jackson had his first haircut! I just couldn't handle seeing hair hang over his ears for one more day. We just went to the Great Clips up the road, and the lady who cut his hair was super nice and did a really good job. Jackson did great too, he didn't cry and only fussed a little. He looks so much older now!
Before, looking pretty shaggy:



After, looking so handsome:

On the Move!

The past couple of weeks a lot has changed. The biggest change is that Jackson is on the move. For the whole month of June and half of July he was so close to crawling it seemed that he was constantly on the verge of crawling and that he was going to start crawling any second. Then all of a sudden in the middle of July...it happened. Now he is everywhere and into everything. Its so exciting to see him progress and grow, but it certainly has changed our lives!
Another big milestone Jack recently hit was his first tooth! You can kind of see it in this picture (its on the bottom on the left).
The one next to it is getting really close to cutting through also. Why cant they come at the same time? It sure would be nice if you didnt have to go through the sleepless nights twice and you could get two over with at the same time.

FYI

My sister Devon has started a blog...but hasn't really announced it, so I have decided to do it for her. Here is her blog address: http://nateanddevon.blogspot.com/

Gus and Gus junior

Gus pointed out that my father day's post did not include any pictures of he and Jack...so here are some recent pictures of my two boys.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Jack. I think it captures his personality perfectly.

Our summer so far

I love summer! I have to admit that since I finished school and got a "real" job...summers just havent been quite the same as they once were. But another perk of motherhood is that somehow it has made summer seem more summerish (yep...I just made up a word). Here are some pictures of some fun stuff we have been up to.

Last month we went with our friend Cambria and co. up to Willard Bay. We got Jack this fun little floatie...which he enjoyed!
Gus and I met playing softball on a team his work put together, and he still plays on the same team, 5 summers later. Here is a shot of Gus and his dad who now plays on the team.

We have been swimming a bunch of times and we usually go with Devon and Rusty.
