Playing in the Mirror With Grammy

Grammy was showing Braden how the mirror worked this weekend.l He was fascinated by that baby looking back at him.

Jackson had to peek to see what Grammy was doing too. That Grammy is a fun lady!

Sweet Little Goofus!

I just can't resist posting pictures of sweet Braden. He is growing so fast and has new tricks everyday. He is almost eight months old and brings such joy to our lives. Jackson adores him and we are so glad he helped grow our family. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the last few days.


Notice the faux-hawk? Braden's hair is getting so long on top that I had to do something. At this age Jackson was practically bald, so this hairy little guy makes me think I will have to give him haircuts far sooner than his older brother.


Braden loves to smile and laugh. He is a goofy little guy and already just as much of a ham as his brother. I think he senses that he will need to compete with all the cuteness of Jackson. Lucky for him he can hold his own in the cute department.


My sweet cherub.

I snapped this picture tonight before dinner. Braden was hanging out in the high chair while we cooked. He is always ready to shoot a grin my way, and luckily I have gotten pretty good at capturing them.

Happy Valentine's Day!

We hope you all had a day filled with love, even if it is a made-up holiday! We love you all!


Two of my sweet Valentines.

Cheesy Valentine smiles for everyone we love.

A Lunch Date With Auntie Ashley

On Sunday Auntie Ashley took Jackson to lunch and then to Target for a Valentine treat. He choose a Diego Lego set, and loves it!

Preschool Field Trip to the Children's Museum

I recently got to go on a field trip with Jackson to the Children's Museum. It was so fun to watch him take it all in. He was fascinated by everything and played with all of his friends from school. It was fun to watch.

I Like to Ride My Tricycle

Jackson has really gotten good at riding his tricycle. It seems like just yesterday he was asking to be pushed on his tricycle, and now we have to run to keep up. He even reminds us that he needs to wear a helmet. It is huge still, but he loves it and I figure we are establishing good habits.

Watching A Movie

When Shaun and I need to get a workout in on the weekend we let Jackson watch a movie in his room. We pull out the portable DVD player and he snuggles up on his bed. It is a special treat and we get a chance to workout.

Avatar Jackson

Daddy and Jackson have been watching a cartoon called Avatar: The Last Air bender. Jackson loves it, especially the part with the stick. I am not an expert, but he makes me laugh out loud when he shows me his moves.

Funny Faces

Can you tell that Jackson is a ham? If I point a camera in his direction I am almost guaranteed to get something goofy! Enjoy a little levity with my performer.
