Birthday Boy

Happy Birthday Jackson!

I took cupcakes up to his school :)

He loved this!

Bath Time Beauty

Avery loves bath time ... and I couldn't resist taking these pics today :)

She decided the shovel would be great for dumping water on me ...

The first look is me telling her "no" ... the second look is HER telling me "no"

SO SWEET!

FOURTH Fun!

Thanks D&D for having us over! We had a blast! :)

Yes – those are cheeto crumbs in the corners of his mouth.

Couldn't just take a break to eat. He LOVED swimming!

Dayli & Jackson … He adores her and surprisingly so …
with the age difference and all … she likes her little buddy
just as much! :)

Ave loves to sit in chairs so when she took a break from crawling
To the pool … she lounged in the chairs.
I know since I’m her mom, I’m totally biased … but even with the icing,
Ketchup, and cheeto crumbs all over her face … isn’t she absolutely
BBBBEEEAAAUUTTTTIIIFFFFUUULLLL???!!! :)



Jacob and Lance taking a short break from the intense watermelon seed spitting contest to
chase Avery from crawling to the pool.






Thanks Dari for taking these pics! I didn't even know you were taking them - but I love them!





I go inside to get a diaper and wipes and come back outside and Lance & Drew decide ...
they can handle it themselves.














Heather helping Jackson and Dayli














You can't tell by this cute picture
but Jackson was scared to death of the fireworks!

























Avery loved watching the fireworks ... the guys did an awesome jobs putting the neighbors to shame in our unspoken war. LOL. What a blast. :)

GALVESTON

Jackson and Nana at the beach :)

Avery loved playing in the sand! ... and

eating some.

Jackson decided he was done with his hamburger so he fed it to the seaguls!

So Sweet!

Now I can't say it's like this 100% of the time of course, but I have been so impressed with how Jackson loves on his sister. I picked him up from school last week and the teachers commented on how sweet he is. They said they thought it was precious how he was in the dramatic play center being the "daddy" to the babies. He is an awesome big brother and will make a great husband one day (Loooonnnnngggg from now!! ) So proud of him!
