Wild Air!!

We found this really cool place to take Jackson to play - Wild Air!! http://www.wild-air.com/
Wild Air is an indoor inflatable playground. Jackson just loves it! We love it too because it is rather cheap $5.00 for 30 minutes, which is plenty of time for Jackson. Oh, Jackson loves to go down the slide by himself! He has no fear!!!

Happy Birthday

Also I want to congratulate my BFF Kay and Todd as Baby Colton Lukas Pliske arrived this morning. Very special people are born on August 11th.

Grandpa and Grandma Barnes' Visit

Grandpa and Grandma Barnes came and visited us this past weekend. The weather was absolutely beautiful!!! We just hung out and we went to the park. We love just love having them come and visit!!

Jackson's Spider Outfit

In daycare Jackson is learning about insects and spiders. I guess at 15 months he understands that!?! Monday night when I picked up Jackson from daycare, they let us parents know that Wednesday was come to daycare as a insect or spider. What kind of notice is that. Well I put some thought into it and asked a few people from work for some ideas. I really thought staying up late for arts and craft for Jackson would come much later in life. I was thinking he would be in 5th grade, not 15 months old. All I know is, as I was making this spider for Jackson I smiled ear to ear. This kind of thing is what makes moms special. Here are some pictures of Jackson's spider. BTW I am very proud of it!!!

Fireworks!

Yesterday we took Jackson to see the fireworks! When the firework show started, Jackson was all wide-eyed and amazed by the fireworks. About 10 minutes into the show this is what I saw! He is to precious!!!

Chicken Fest

Jackson with the led singer of JADA!

Jackson playing the duck game!

Every year the Darboy Kiwanis Club puts on the Chicken Fest. We took Jackson to the festival this year. Jackson played on the playground, and played the Duck game, and met Jada the music group. Chicken Fest has fried Chicken and Chicken Wings. We saw a Chicken wing eating contest. Very interesting is all I'm going to say. The best thing about this fest is it is free to get in and we only spent $20 on food and game tickets!!! We had a great time!

Jackson's Swimming

Last weekend we bought Jackson a swimming pool! He loves it! We had to put hot water in the pool for Jackson to play in the water. Once we did that, then he just splashed around.

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July!!! 233 years ago today the Declaration of Independence was signed(began to be signed, it took until August to get all signatures) giving the U.S. independence!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all Father's out there.

Jackson made Mark an apron for grilling that said World's #1 Dad! I would have to agree with that. Mark is an awesome father. I love watching him and Jackson interact. I smile just thinking about them interacting. Jackson and I got Mark a new shirt for work and a ice cream cake from Cold Stone Creamery.

To my Father - Thanks for being such a wonderful father. You are an amazing dad and a great grandpa. I'm very luck to have a dad like you. I love you very much daddy!

Playing Outside

Lately it has be cold and rainy and this evening it was nice enough to be outside. We took Jackson outside while Mark mowed the lawn. Here are some pictures of Jackson just hanging out.

We are back!

We got back last night from Myrtle Beach, SC. We had a blast! It was a wonderful family vacation. We enjoyed see our family. It's amazing how fast our nieces and nephews are growing.

We rented a beach house in North Myrtle Beach! The house was right on the beach. It was great to wake up and look outside and see the ocean. It also had a pool and a hot tub. The house was AWESOME!

Jackson was too funny at times. He didn't like the sand on his feet. He loved playing in the pool. By the time we left he was just jumping into the pool. He would go under and come up laughing. He has no fear!!!

He played with his cousin Lily, who is 22 months old. They would chase it other and climb up on the brick fireplace. Jackson would take toys away then she would come and get them back from him. It was adorable!

Of course the seafood was great! We ate at my favorite restuarant there Drunken Jack's!

This was a very nice vacation!

First Hair Cut

This evening we took Jackson to get his first hair cut. I thought I would cry, but I didn't. I am amazed how the hair cut makes Jackson look like a little boy and not a baby. Jackson did very well.

At the Park

Lasst weekend Grandpa and Grandma Barnes took Jackson for ice cream and then to the park. Jackson LOVED Grandpa's blueberry shake. He also LOVED the slide. Here are some pictures.

Jackson and Boo-Boo

Jackson and Boo-Boo are best of buds. Jackson falls Boo-Boo around. Where ever Boo-Boo is Jackson is. Boo-Boo et's Jackson lay on him and pull his hair. Here are a few pictures of them together.

Jackson and Seirra at the Zoo

We met up with our friends Jessica, Jeff, and Seirra at the N.E.W Zoo in Green Bay. Its was a lot fun. The kids had a great time looking at the animals and sharing toys. Here are a few pictures of our outing.

It's Been A While...

I know I haven't posted anything in a month. We have just been busy. Work has been crazy and by the time I get home the last thing I wanted to do is get on the computer. It's not an excuse it's the just the truth. I have thought that I should get on the computer and post, but I just didn't. Also Jackson has had three ear infections in the last month. We been dealing with that and he is teething AGAIN!!!

The weather up here is nice for once. We have worked in the yard and cleaned out the flower beds and put in fresh mulch. After work we have been taking Jackson outside to play. He just loves being outside. He is so funny about the grass. He'll walk in it, but if he falls down and his hands touches it he starts to wine. Its funny!

We went on our first bike of the season two weekends ago. Jackson loved it. He was babbling and talking up a storm. On our bike ride we stop for ice cream and Jackson had his first ice cream cone. He was so cute eating it.

Jackson got his first scraped knee on Wednesday night. I'm sure there will be many more. He also loves to push his wagon down the driveway and Mark and I got chasing after him and the wagon.

We have been getting notes sent home about Jackson being bit at daycare. It's annoying because he isn't getting bit because he is fighting with another child. They told me that its unprovoked. Both times he has been bit it has bruised. I know there's not much I can do about because they are kids, but it's annoying to have to sign incident reports a few times a week.

That's about it for here.

Happy Easter

We took Jackson to see the Easter Bunny yesterday. He did very well with the Easter Bunny. He did not cry, but he sure checked him out. The Easter Bunny arrived this morning and left a basket for Jackson. Thanks Aunt Bernie for the Dancing Duck. Jackson wasn't sure about it at first, but after a few time of watching it dance he was into it. We are going to an Easter Brunch this morning with our friends Katie and Luke. I'll post pictures later today!

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter and God Bless you.

ENT Update

Yesterday we took Jackson to the ENT doctor for his two week follow up. The doctor was awesome. He pick up Jackson and sat him on his lap and was explaining to Jackson about all of his instruments and why his uses them and how they worked. Jackson was listening so intensely. It was very cute. The best thing about the appointment was when the Dr. Burton said his ears look FABULOUS!!!! We will not need have to see Dr. Burton for six months! :)

1 Year Check Up

Jackson had his 1 year check on Friday 4/3. He is 20.5 Lbs and 29.5 inches long. The doctor is very pleased with his growth. He did get 4 shots, even though it was his birthday. I felt bad, but I believe that if you are going to vaccinate your child then you should follow the guidelines on the appropriate timing on receiving the vaccination. Tomorrow Jackson goes to the ENT doctor for a follow up from his surgery for his tubes.

talk soon!

Happy Birthday Jackson!!!

Saturday we had Jackson's First Birthday party. It was a lot fun and Jackson received a lot of nice presents. Thanks everyone!!
