Things I will Miss

Jackson is at the perfect age and I would love nothing more to than to freeze him right in this stage. I love hearing the new words he discovers, chasing bubbles with excitement, and kicking his chubby legs and squealing at the mere sight of a tractor. I love to see him push his tractor and make noises across the floor. I love for him to reach for my hand and lead me to the pantry where he then says "cookie". Right now he loves ME and chooses me over all others. I know this will be short lived. I think this is so special because Lilly has always loved me, but her Gran and Grandaddy just as much. When I am gone he calls for me and laying in his crib he has begun to call "Mama". Not something I am used to and makes it so hard to leave him. He can be so loving, but full of little boy mishcheif.

Lilly is also growing and it sure makes me sad, but so proud. She has slept in her own bed by herself for about a week now. (I am knocking on wood) Lilly sleeping with us never bothered me, but her Daaddy was no so fond of the arrangement. I love for her to grab her blanket and say "Let's snuggle up Mom". She still sucks her thumb when tired and sleeping and that is just precious. She loves princesses and now can quote from the movies she watches. (I think this is a guy trait!) I am so very thankful to God for two very precious children!

Easter Pictures



Easter






We had an Egg hunt at Gran and Grandaddy's and a few friends over to help! Jackson was only interested in the golf cart and didn't care much about finding eggs until he realized there was candy inside. Lilly didn't stop to eat this year for a change. We had a nice visit with Heidi and Rob and spend the day Sunday going to church and with family. Some will turn up their nose at Jackson's outfit (Heidi) but boys in the South should wear knee socks while young and girls should wear hats. At least Jackson is young enough to cooperate. This will however be his last year wearing this outfit, but he was so darn cute! (Note: Pictures have not been edited! If I ever get time for that I will post some better ones!)
