But I need to be better about posting so everyone can see how much the boys have grown. I'm going back to our Christmas photo shoot, which we held on our new backyard addition. We are going to love this once the weather finally starts cooperating here in Alabama (where is has snowed more this winter than in the past 10 combined!). Lucas is no longer a baby. I let his hair keep growing until after this photo shoot, because I knew as soon as we cut it, he'd really be a big boy. He's talking more and more each day and making long sentences now! He follows his big brother anywhere, and like Jackson, he has no fear...uh-oh! He was 20 months in these pictures.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TU02OsicCMI/AAAAAAAAC-0/IHAtD4rcxQ0/s1600/luke.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TU02OsicCMI/AAAAAAAAC-0/IHAtD4rcxQ0/s320/luke.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570167940228843714" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Jackson loves the outdoors and can't wait for the weather to be like it was last weekend - high 60s and sunny!

Life at our house is so crazy these days. The boys are great - Jackson turned 3 a few weeks ago. Lucas just turned 19 months last Thursday. I'm going to get some pictures up of the past few months this week. Tonight's post has a few pics from Jackson's 3rd birthday. We actually had 2 parties for him this year. We had one down in Auburn with some family on Saturday, the another one here with family and friends on Sunday. The theme was Thomas the Train, a favorite of J's. Here was his cake:<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TMTgZ-4exWI/AAAAAAAAC90/DMW-v_rGGz4/s1600/5.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531792979299059042" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TMTgZ-4exWI/AAAAAAAAC90/DMW-v_rGGz4/s320/5.jpg" /></a> Here's the birthday boy. He had so much fun and was so excited! It was a blast having some friends over to celebrate.<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TMTgZnY_TWI/AAAAAAAAC9s/odyz0DVsQ3Y/s1600/4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531792972992957794" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TMTgZnY_TWI/AAAAAAAAC9s/odyz0DVsQ3Y/s320/4.jpg" /></a><br />Everyone enjoyed the cake :) Somehow J was the messiest one, but I suppose that's to be expected when you're the birthday boy!</div><div><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TMTgXroT13I/AAAAAAAAC9k/rLKnvaba-Bg/s1600/3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531792939771221874" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TMTgXroT13I/AAAAAAAAC9k/rLKnvaba-Bg/s320/3.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Everyone wanted to help open presents and play with the new toys!</div><div><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TMTgWDf0boI/AAAAAAAAC9c/JdEtuHadzew/s1600/2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531792911818321538" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TMTgWDf0boI/AAAAAAAAC9c/JdEtuHadzew/s320/2.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Even cousin Mark got in on the action! He reminds me a lot of J at that age because he's already into everything! <br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TMTgVlNVy2I/AAAAAAAAC9U/vM_ImJHeBsA/s1600/1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531792903687752546" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TMTgVlNVy2I/AAAAAAAAC9U/vM_ImJHeBsA/s320/1.jpg" /></a><br />I can't believe that my sweet firstborn is already 3! The time flies by so quickly. He and L are a pair - already so close. L follows J around and they have so much fun playing together. Now that the weather is so nice, we're outside playing all the time. Later this week I'll have a post with our new backyard photos. It's awesome and exactly what I wanted....which it should be because it took us 4 months to figure out exactly what we wanted!!! I'm so glad the boys like to be outside as much as we do, and I look forward to many nights out on the patio by the fire pit :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810226440252566877noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215249221204779878.post-17342730495998959532010-08-14T15:19:00.007-05:002010-08-14T16:58:53.959-05:00Beach Pics Part 2Here are the rest of the beach pictures, which got delayed by our week long trip to Seattle for the AANA Annual Meeting.

But, we are glad that they will be back in school - they need that time out of the house (and Wes needs that time without the boys, lol). Wes has one more securities exam to take, and he'll be good to go :) Hopefully by the end of the year everything will be in order and he will be working!!! He has worked so hard, and it will be great to see his hard work pay off. Post of Seattle soon!<br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810226440252566877noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215249221204779878.post-18862273774205628862010-07-31T19:20:00.008-05:002010-07-31T21:17:07.143-05:00Beach Pictures Part 1Here are about half the pictures from our beach trip a few weeks ago. We wish we were still there, and today when I was looking at these deciding which ones to post, Jackson asked when we were going back. I wish I could have said right now! We had such a good time and can't wait to get back to the condo!!! Jackson has always loved the beach. He was like a little turtle, crawling at 6 months old right out into the ocean. Nothing has changed, and I hated that he couldn't play in the water a lot. This was him the first day down there. He actually wore the hat for a while, and he played with his trucks and shovels in the sand. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TFTWHpuTiWI/AAAAAAAAC58/TXn56PdvPwM/s1600/DSC_0025b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TFTWHpuTiWI/AAAAAAAAC58/TXn56PdvPwM/s320/DSC_0025b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500256471873718626" border="0" /></a><br />It's a little hard to tell, but you can see the line of the booms, and the boat helping to clean up the area.

When we were there early this year, we took him out in his pants, and he loved walking in the sand. He wasn't so sure about it this time. He did figure out how to shovel sand on himself though, and once he had sand all over his face, he really didn't know what to think of it. But he figured out not to dump it on his head eventually!<br /><br />Step 1 - shovel sand<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TFTVIfajG0I/AAAAAAAAC5c/mVD45bnVWfk/s1600/DSC_0045b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TFTVIfajG0I/AAAAAAAAC5c/mVD45bnVWfk/s320/DSC_0045b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500255386774739778" border="0" /></a><br />Step 2 - close eyes and lift shovel<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TFTTP-XmbdI/AAAAAAAAC5U/dr8O-w7pqvE/s1600/DSC_0046b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TFTTP-XmbdI/AAAAAAAAC5U/dr8O-w7pqvE/s320/DSC_0046b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500253316319702482" border="0" /></a><br />Steps 3 and 4 - dump sand on your head<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TFTTPYSE3II/AAAAAAAAC5M/9GL5llRSCcE/s1600/DSC_0047b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TFTTPYSE3II/AAAAAAAAC5M/9GL5llRSCcE/s320/DSC_0047b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500253306095983746" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TFTTOwmeLXI/AAAAAAAAC5E/-Xka7SkYrrs/s1600/DSC_0048b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TFTTOwmeLXI/AAAAAAAAC5E/-Xka7SkYrrs/s320/DSC_0048b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500253295444110706" border="0" /></a><br />Step 5 - laugh and try to figure out how to get the sand off your face<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TFTQxqsVGMI/AAAAAAAAC48/R_3fPiLz1_U/s1600/DSC_0049b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TFTQxqsVGMI/AAAAAAAAC48/R_3fPiLz1_U/s320/DSC_0049b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500250596618606786" border="0" /></a><br />Just hanging out<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TFTQxAq5BLI/AAAAAAAAC40/LgQzCVw2dM4/s1600/DSC_0101b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TFTQxAq5BLI/AAAAAAAAC40/LgQzCVw2dM4/s320/DSC_0101b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500250585338283186" border="0" /></a><br />Luke looking pensive<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TFTQwqbFONI/AAAAAAAAC4s/wuQaF8d8vLw/s1600/DSC_0111b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TFTQwqbFONI/AAAAAAAAC4s/wuQaF8d8vLw/s320/DSC_0111b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500250579366394066" border="0" /></a><br />I was not able to get any pics of them both smiling on this day.

Wes has his next certification exam on Monday, so keep him in your thoughts and prayers. J and L are doing great - grow, grow, grow. We are (impatiently) waiting for L's molar to finish cutting. They have taken FOREVER! J's took about a month, but this is twice as long. And we can tell they are bothering the little guy, and there's just not much that is making him feel better now. This too, shall pass, I know, but I hope for his sake (ok, for all of us!) that it speeds up!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810226440252566877noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215249221204779878.post-37798196625126905022010-07-15T15:25:00.003-05:002010-07-15T15:38:50.323-05:00Week at the Beach PreviewI can't believe it's been a month since I updated the blog!!!

I've got some photoshopping to do on some of them - it's so hard to get a good picture with both boys in it ;) Here is one of L looking at a bird:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TD9wmdxFBoI/AAAAAAAAC3M/tsy5seSba4w/s1600/DSC_0147b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TD9wmdxFBoI/AAAAAAAAC3M/tsy5seSba4w/s320/DSC_0147b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494233876543112834" border="0" /></a><br />And another of L smiling for the camera - he's a hoot!!! We've had a blast, and I'm sad that we have to leave. The weather has been beautiful and the ocean looked great. No tarballs :) There was a little bit of oil that you could see along the edge, but I still got in and threw out for a little bit, with no luck though. More pictures to follow soon!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TD9wlviV5MI/AAAAAAAAC3E/pb_30UMeq1I/s1600/DSC_0142b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TD9wlviV5MI/AAAAAAAAC3E/pb_30UMeq1I/s320/DSC_0142b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494233864133272770" border="0" /></a>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810226440252566877noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215249221204779878.post-70961963195597335012010-06-15T20:10:00.004-05:002010-06-15T20:31:37.006-05:00Night at the BaronsThese are pictures from a few weeks ago when we went to the Barons game with the church group. It was a blast. We actually made it through 6 innings, which impressed us with the boys. Thank goodness the stadium wasn't crowded. Maybe next year we can make it through a whole game :) Jackson is growing way too fast!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TBgm4_WlwdI/AAAAAAAAC28/7daplBR8D30/s1600/102_4693.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TBgm4_WlwdI/AAAAAAAAC28/7daplBR8D30/s320/102_4693.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483175306844291538" border="0" /></a><br />Lucas is now walking everywhere!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TBgmbsHR2aI/AAAAAAAAC20/ZvTLBscZMTA/s1600/102_4696.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TBgmbsHR2aI/AAAAAAAAC20/ZvTLBscZMTA/s320/102_4696.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483174803463592354" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TBgmbdSMzfI/AAAAAAAAC2s/bJUFNXa7C6k/s1600/102_4698.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TBgmbdSMzfI/AAAAAAAAC2s/bJUFNXa7C6k/s320/102_4698.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483174799482867186" border="0" /></a>We spent Memorial Day at Wes' parents house. Jackson, Uncle Mike, and I polished off 5 pounds of crawfish - despite the look in this pic (we had asked him to smile) Jackson LOVED the crawfish. Mike was very impressed, lol. J loves seafood and has since he was 12 months old and Wes gave him shrimp (I was not really happy with that!). And he also loves the spicy foods, like this crawfish that we had. He's so awesome!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TBgma7wSrjI/AAAAAAAAC2k/A5sxtwFF1tg/s1600/102_4709.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TBgma7wSrjI/AAAAAAAAC2k/A5sxtwFF1tg/s320/102_4709.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483174790482275890" border="0" /></a>Lucas grabbed Pops' hat and threw it on his head like a pro :) <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TBgmacZcJ8I/AAAAAAAAC2c/SPJkEtXgyNM/s1600/102_4712.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/TBgmacZcJ8I/AAAAAAAAC2c/SPJkEtXgyNM/s320/102_4712.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483174782064928706" border="0" /></a>My fav pic from the ball park!

It has flown by! The boys are growing by leaps and bounds. Lucas is almost walking, and he's trying to say so many words. He's learned some signs and is such a sweet boy. We spent Saturday at my parent's house. The boys love being there and they have added an outdoor room to their house. It's about the only place that Jackson wants to be. The only bad thing about being there is that Jackson climbs in bed with us when he wakes up...which was 0415 Sunday morning. But he laid back down and we all slept a few more hours :) On Sunday we went to Piedmont for Wes' family reunion that is held every Mother's Day. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S-ixYgvhG_I/AAAAAAAAC2M/IV5kvZn7CpA/s1600/102_4663.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S-ixYgvhG_I/AAAAAAAAC2M/IV5kvZn7CpA/s320/102_4663.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469816782105680882" border="0" /></a><br />Here is Luke sitting in a big boy chair!

We've been wondering when the weather would be good enough for Dad to get that plane out and fly over - and today was the day :) They flew over and we had lunch at the airport diner, then headed to our house to play for a bit in the awesome sunshine we had today. When the boys went down for their naps, Granddad and Grandma left and headed to the Sylacauga airport for a picnic with a bunch of other pilots. It was great to see them and we hope they bring the plane in lots more in the near future. Jackson loved climbing inside it and pretending he was flying. Since we live right by the airport (like 1/4 of a mile), he has always loved seeing the planes in the air. As soon as we can get some little earphones for him, he'll be up and flying. I know Granddad can't wait!!!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S8Ec-8GQseI/AAAAAAAAC0E/jqrll1kO4Kc/s1600/100_0383.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S8Ec-8GQseI/AAAAAAAAC0E/jqrll1kO4Kc/s320/100_0383.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458676090959606242" border="0" /></a>Jackson enjoyed exploring the airplane, and Luke was trying to figure out where he went ;)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S8Ec-YakPDI/AAAAAAAACz8/YXjJA1AGBag/s1600/100_0379.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S8Ec-YakPDI/AAAAAAAACz8/YXjJA1AGBag/s320/100_0379.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458676081381096498" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S8Ec96Ejz3I/AAAAAAAACz0/tNgBaxD7qLI/s1600/100_0373.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S8Ec96Ejz3I/AAAAAAAACz0/tNgBaxD7qLI/s320/100_0373.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458676073235730290" border="0" /></a>Jackson's shirt says "Pilot in training."

I will get pics of him diving in his cake soon!!! We've been so busy, but I at least wanted to get a few pics up. He and Jackson are doing great - they are the BEST! Wes has been busy studying for his certification exams, and I've been slammed with work and ALANA things. It's great though - we love our life!!!! Hope everyone enjoys this weekend; the weather should be awesome and we plan on spending lots of quality time outside on our playground :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S7_DKcfj6yI/AAAAAAAACzc/SMWvnyKKJZw/s1600/5.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S7_DKcfj6yI/AAAAAAAACzc/SMWvnyKKJZw/s320/5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458295857611008802" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S7_DJ-c46hI/AAAAAAAACzU/9LUSD8yJKWk/s1600/4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S7_DJ-c46hI/AAAAAAAACzU/9LUSD8yJKWk/s320/4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458295849546738194" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S7_DJMwcQfI/AAAAAAAACzM/LN_iaBgU35o/s1600/3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S7_DJMwcQfI/AAAAAAAACzM/LN_iaBgU35o/s320/3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458295836206973426" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S7_DIlzDcwI/AAAAAAAACzE/GoCqD4vLWmQ/s1600/2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 283px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S7_DIlzDcwI/AAAAAAAACzE/GoCqD4vLWmQ/s320/2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458295825748947714" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S7_DIJ1F0aI/AAAAAAAACy8/MTkAfjTN6i8/s1600/1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S7_DIJ1F0aI/AAAAAAAACy8/MTkAfjTN6i8/s320/1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458295818241298850" border="0" /></a>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810226440252566877noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215249221204779878.post-78430984878058858742010-03-09T20:38:00.007-06:002010-03-09T21:35:22.449-06:00Life's a BeachI know it's been ages, but we've been out of town almost every weekend, and I've finally gotten some pictures ready to prove it! This is from our trip to the beach 2 weeks ago. We went down and stayed at the condo for a long weekend, and it was great. The weather was in the mid 60s, giving all of us, especially J, spring fever. What's great about going to the beach now, is that Wes' parents are only 30 minutes away, so we get to see them down there as well. Since the weather was so nice, we spent time outside each day. It's been several months since J has been to the beach, and the last time we took L out there, he was about 5 months old, and still hanging out in one of our laps, or in a baby swing. My how times have changed! J loved running on the beach. He dove right down, then looked up at me like he thought he would get in trouble - I just laughed and let him know he could get as sandy as he wanted! That's why we were there :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cPWekeOYI/AAAAAAAACys/0cP32jrgSjQ/s1600-h/21.jpg"><br /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cPV79qopI/AAAAAAAACyk/zv_Iy1dgX4c/s1600-h/20.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cPV79qopI/AAAAAAAACyk/zv_Iy1dgX4c/s320/20.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446839143875912338" border="0" /></a><br />Running by the water<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cOox9dWSI/AAAAAAAACyc/do7iEYikoyw/s1600-h/19.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cOox9dWSI/AAAAAAAACyc/do7iEYikoyw/s320/19.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446838368096573730" border="0" /></a><br />Writing his "name" in the sand<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cOoJAE8nI/AAAAAAAACyU/eKBUClynCrU/s1600-h/18.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cOoJAE8nI/AAAAAAAACyU/eKBUClynCrU/s320/18.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446838357101703794" border="0" /></a><br />Taking a moment to smile for the camera<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cOn9vLhRI/AAAAAAAACyM/BXGog1C2P90/s1600-h/17.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cOn9vLhRI/AAAAAAAACyM/BXGog1C2P90/s320/17.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446838354078041362" border="0" /></a><br />This was my favorite part of the trip - a walk to the jetty with J. He got kinda whiny halfway there, but once we got to the rocks, he loved it. In fact, I kinda wondered how I was gonna get him off the rocks, and if I was crazy for letting a 2 year old climb on them, but I guess he's gotta learn sometime, right ;) He actually sat and smiled long enough for me to take about 10 pics, which is unheard for with him! I was so excited, and they turned out pretty good. <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cOnWkfdqI/AAAAAAAACyE/oWjkV5JXLvQ/s1600-h/16.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cOnWkfdqI/AAAAAAAACyE/oWjkV5JXLvQ/s320/16.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446838343564228258" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cNKaQlcEI/AAAAAAAACx8/sltnSdjH9Eg/s1600-h/15.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cNKaQlcEI/AAAAAAAACx8/sltnSdjH9Eg/s320/15.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446836746826641474" border="0" /></a><br />Why do they grow up so fast?!?!?!<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cNKBbSzhI/AAAAAAAACx0/lXTA8nJuWdI/s1600-h/14.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cNKBbSzhI/AAAAAAAACx0/lXTA8nJuWdI/s320/14.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446836740160671250" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cNJvhiziI/AAAAAAAACxs/EkfCsRhVgII/s1600-h/13.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cNJvhiziI/AAAAAAAACxs/EkfCsRhVgII/s320/13.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446836735355047458" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cNJAHci2I/AAAAAAAACxk/PVSnsAqCfIw/s1600-h/12.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cNJAHci2I/AAAAAAAACxk/PVSnsAqCfIw/s320/12.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446836722629118818" border="0" /></a><br />Nonnie and Pops came over to visit us<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cNIm9qtfI/AAAAAAAACxc/GNCDp08fJuM/s1600-h/11.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 306px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S5cNIm9qtfI/AAAAAAAACxc/GNCDp08fJuM/s320/11.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446836715877217778" border="0" /></a><br />This was the first time we had L in the sand, and we weren't sure what to expect.

We love you :)Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810226440252566877noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215249221204779878.post-73818370356554831422010-02-17T14:15:00.003-06:002010-02-17T15:25:29.505-06:00Wordless Wednesday<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S3xPbSPXLnI/AAAAAAAACwE/q1A97hCgY-M/s1600-h/12.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439309780128050802" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S3xPbSPXLnI/AAAAAAAACwE/q1A97hCgY-M/s320/12.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810226440252566877noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215249221204779878.post-4297407347810678592010-02-14T20:00:00.005-06:002010-02-14T20:49:32.725-06:00Go go goThis is the first weekend in a month that we've been home, and I'm on call! But at least we've been in one place. We are still go go go and it's been hard for me to find time for the blog, but I've made some tonight. I've got tons of pics, but it will take a while to catch up with them. The boys are wonderful. Grow grow grow, as they all do. I'm not sure I'm ready for it, especially with Jackson's wits. He's so matter of fact about most things, and loves to learn! It's so fun to watch :) Lucas is starting to cruise. He likes to stand up and push the chairs (which we can't stand!). We love to watch him and Jackson play with each other which they are now really starting to do. They are slowly learning to share - well, at least one day they will learn. Right now we are just repeating over and over "share with your brother" but I'm sure it will come ;) Here are some pics from the past several weeks:<br /><br /><div align="center">Jackson loves to cook in the kitchen. Thankfully Grandma has lots of patience and loves to cook with him. He and I typically make pancakes, but brave Grandma ventured into the realm of cookies.

This was while were were sitting waiting for Dr. D to come see us. We have been blessed with the sweetest most wonderful boys in the world. Lucas is now crawling and trying to walk when he pulls up on things. Jackson is learning more and more each day (help, help!). He's way too smart, but it's adorable when he "reads" his books to Lucas (he has them memorized and really does recite them to Luke). More pictures soon!<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S2JV35rMH_I/AAAAAAAACuk/U1gqQ9h4rAY/s1600-h/luke12.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 209px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431998519425376242" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S2JV35rMH_I/AAAAAAAACuk/U1gqQ9h4rAY/s320/luke12.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810226440252566877noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215249221204779878.post-56178918476523599152010-01-04T18:17:00.006-06:002010-01-04T19:26:31.885-06:00Christmas 2009We had a great Christmas! It seems like it lasted for a month, probably because we stretched it out over almost 3 weeks. We had to celebrate with Wes' family mid December because I was on call the weekend before Christmas. Christmas Eve we packed up and headed to Anniston for a long weekend to spend time with my parents, and my brother and his family. It was all wonderful :) And now as I slowly pack things up (the tree just has to stay up until the 6th!) I realize before I know it, I'll be getting it all out again, lol. Here are a couple of pics that made the Christmas card. We decided to do photo session at home, which was interesting to say the least. But it got done and they turned out pretty good, if I say so myself. Thank goodness for photoshop! Try getting a 2 year old to smile on command - nearly impossible, haha.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S0KRkD6kH2I/AAAAAAAACuc/zcTWX5op5m8/s1600-h/luke1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423056950019759970" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S0KRkD6kH2I/AAAAAAAACuc/zcTWX5op5m8/s320/luke1.jpg" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S0KRjkOOMtI/AAAAAAAACuU/F0sLjTD-yRQ/s1600-h/Jackson21.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 289px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423056941512274642" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/S0KRjkOOMtI/AAAAAAAACuU/F0sLjTD-yRQ/s320/Jackson21.jpg" /></a> Luke loved the lights on the tree!

University Station had a great trick or treating activity for the kiddos, followed by a bonfire and weinie roast. Everyone thought the boys were adorable, and I was surprised at how everyone wanted to give both of them candy. I just laughed and said anything that they gave Luke would end up in Mommy's belly, so we didn't need it haha. So here is our little cowboy:<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/Su9dFv-ZjFI/AAAAAAAACqc/piIgHLpbU54/s1600-h/7.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 253px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399636831599430738" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/Su9dFv-ZjFI/AAAAAAAACqc/piIgHLpbU54/s320/7.jpg" /></a>And our pumpkin<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/Su9Z98DaziI/AAAAAAAACqU/mFtp2FPwAvM/s1600-h/8.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399633398867873314" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/Su9Z98DaziI/AAAAAAAACqU/mFtp2FPwAvM/s320/8.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Jackson didn't want to pose for any pictures, so there were many more of Luke.

It's been way to yucky to go out a lot of days here, and Jackson needs some outside time to run off that whiny energy he gets. I was off last Thursday, so we took the boys to one of the parks in our neighborhood and let Jackson run wild for a little bit. He's now big enough to climb up on his own!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SuedJU6DkkI/AAAAAAAACps/jQqETDmdgBU/s1600-h/10.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397455461983425090" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SuedJU6DkkI/AAAAAAAACps/jQqETDmdgBU/s320/10.jpg" /></a> At the top of the slide..<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SuedJEfDODI/AAAAAAAACpk/QCxESenq34w/s1600-h/9.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397455457575188530" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SuedJEfDODI/AAAAAAAACpk/QCxESenq34w/s320/9.jpg" /></a> Here I come!!!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SuedIhJKdAI/AAAAAAAACpc/hnHO1pQcnnA/s1600-h/8.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397455448088146946" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SuedIhJKdAI/AAAAAAAACpc/hnHO1pQcnnA/s320/8.jpg" /></a><br />This park has a baby swing, and Luke really liked it, for about 10 minutes :) He would smile and laugh every time I would push him.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SuedIVWVduI/AAAAAAAACpU/mswIBaTCU50/s1600-h/7.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 318px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397455444922169058" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SuedIVWVduI/AAAAAAAACpU/mswIBaTCU50/s320/7.jpg" /></a><br />Then it was Jackson's turn...<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SuedIBx_iZI/AAAAAAAACpM/_vjm6RRTkjs/s1600-h/6.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397455439669463442" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SuedIBx_iZI/AAAAAAAACpM/_vjm6RRTkjs/s320/6.jpg" /></a> He's all smiles when he's in the swing :D<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SueaJGuaW-I/AAAAAAAACpE/-02qvoYDjAY/s1600-h/5.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397452159641607138" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SueaJGuaW-I/AAAAAAAACpE/-02qvoYDjAY/s320/5.jpg" /></a> Trying to get a few shots of the two of them together is so hard. I can never get them both looking at the camera at the same time. I really need a new camera, but don't know what I want to get yet (need something really user-friendly, lol). Jackson always wants to hold Luke, but after a couple of minutes he'll say "Mommy hold Luke. Luke heavy." It's so cute!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SueaI68O0MI/AAAAAAAACo8/EY0PakD_zAU/s1600-h/4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397452156478345410" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SueaI68O0MI/AAAAAAAACo8/EY0PakD_zAU/s320/4.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SueaIde7U7I/AAAAAAAACo0/qPQf1ZwN2nM/s1600-h/3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397452148570805170" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SueaIde7U7I/AAAAAAAACo0/qPQf1ZwN2nM/s320/3.jpg" /></a> I think what Jackson wanted to say here is "Uh...he's crushing my leg"<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SueaIGv4nmI/AAAAAAAACos/bUSP_Bk3grI/s1600-h/2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397452142467915362" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SueaIGv4nmI/AAAAAAAACos/bUSP_Bk3grI/s320/2.jpg" /></a> Daddy and Luke<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SueaH9BX-iI/AAAAAAAACok/LAcTxwNPgQc/s1600-h/1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397452139856919074" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SueaH9BX-iI/AAAAAAAACok/LAcTxwNPgQc/s320/1.jpg" /></a> Luke's bottom front teeth are coming in..slowly! I'd forgotten how agonizing teething can be for them. Also, he's developed a parental attachment, particularly for me, which is strange b/c he's around Wes much more. Jackson never did that, so this is all new for us. He's still very much a cuddle baby and while we aren't swaddling him any more, he LOVES to be held all the time. I'm hoping he can figure out the crawling thing soon, b/c the boy is heavy! He's almost 18 pounds! Again, Jackson was crawling by this time, and once he started, he wanted to be down on the ground. He's still a great baby though, and has dropped his third nap, so now he goes to sleep at 6:30, which is awesome!!! We get him down, then Jackson goes down at 7, and we have our evenings to ourselves. Now we just have to get him out of the clingy phase and things will be perfect - well as perfect as they can be, lol.</div><div> </div><div> Hope everyone has a great rest of their week:)<br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810226440252566877noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215249221204779878.post-34595445151750627752009-10-19T19:36:00.005-05:002009-10-19T20:42:03.871-05:00More Milestones<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0Ro-_0-AI/AAAAAAAACoc/a-pakWcx2ko/s1600-h/10.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394487324462872578" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0Ro-_0-AI/AAAAAAAACoc/a-pakWcx2ko/s320/10.jpg" /></a><br />On October 3, Jackson turned 2! I can't believe how fast time flies by. Unfortunately, I had a conference that weekend that prevented us from celebrating his birthday that day, so we celebrated last weekend. The only tv show he will even watch 5 minutes of is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, so we had a Mickey party :) The cake was so cute!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0RoZ8yXeI/AAAAAAAACoU/Sz71amGbCZ4/s1600-h/9.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394487314518007266" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0RoZ8yXeI/AAAAAAAACoU/Sz71amGbCZ4/s320/9.jpg" /></a> Jackson had a great time, and thankfully the weather cooperated and it finally quit raining for a day! The boys all got to play in the yard while Wes grilled burgers and hotdogs, then we had cake and ice cream for dessert. Jackson got too many gifts, and he loved everything he got!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0Rny2OlpI/AAAAAAAACoM/yGEhNrDsQVM/s1600-h/8.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394487304021513874" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0Rny2OlpI/AAAAAAAACoM/yGEhNrDsQVM/s320/8.jpg" /></a> Everyone eagerly awaited the cake while we sang happy b'day.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0RnfnZ_XI/AAAAAAAACoE/6UrqShctqYY/s1600-h/7.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394487298859072882" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0RnfnZ_XI/AAAAAAAACoE/6UrqShctqYY/s320/7.jpg" /></a> YUM - cake:) Jackson dug in and about ate it in one big bite, lol.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0Rm43KJqI/AAAAAAAACn8/ExDpC47lMEU/s1600-h/6.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394487288456160930" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0Rm43KJqI/AAAAAAAACn8/ExDpC47lMEU/s320/6.jpg" /></a> Playing around.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0PincgAcI/AAAAAAAACn0/2tB4qSeImt4/s1600-h/5.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394485016038212034" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0PincgAcI/AAAAAAAACn0/2tB4qSeImt4/s320/5.jpg" /></a><br />Playing with his new shopping cart. He loves to push anything, so this is perfect for him to run around the house with....and it doesn't make any noise when you push it, which Wes and I love! At his 2 year visit with the doctor he sat on the scale - and he's finally gained some weight!!! Thank goodness for peanut butter. He's up to 24 pounds, and finally out of the "< 5th percentile" and up to almost the 10th percentile. He's doing great. The only bad thing about the trip was that the office is out of flu shots! So we will have to go back again once they get in...whenever that may be.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0Phzu4EmI/AAAAAAAACns/SJIhp_vSpHY/s1600-h/4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394485002156642914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0Phzu4EmI/AAAAAAAACns/SJIhp_vSpHY/s320/4.jpg" /></a> Another milestone in our house these days is Luke eating real food. He's almost 7 months now, so it's been about 3 weeks of real food. So far he's had sweet potato, squash, butternut squash, carrot, and green beans. A few more dark veggies, then we'll get into the fruits. And I'm making all his food, just like I did for J (well, except for rice cereal). It's so fun and easy, and we know exactly what he's eating. And the boy loves to eat! At his 6 month visit, he weighed in at 17 pounds! Only 50th percentile (that just means there are some mommies and daddies out there w/ some sore backs!), but so much bigger than Jackson was:) Amazingly enough, he was 90th percentile for height. I hope he stays tall!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0Pha1qvLI/AAAAAAAACnk/zWRzuQXPhkc/s1600-h/3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394484995474242738" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0Pha1qvLI/AAAAAAAACnk/zWRzuQXPhkc/s320/3.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0Pg8kTVgI/AAAAAAAACnc/ZjrMWZRSOqA/s1600-h/2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394484987348342274" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0Pg8kTVgI/AAAAAAAACnc/ZjrMWZRSOqA/s320/2.jpg" /></a> Enough with the camera - give me more food ;)<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0PgFWHieI/AAAAAAAACnU/7WeIcHFNVsg/s1600-h/1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 226px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394484972524898786" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0PgFWHieI/AAAAAAAACnU/7WeIcHFNVsg/s320/1.jpg" /></a><br />Here are some older pics from Auburn that were on Jackie's camera. <br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0HNLyc-hI/AAAAAAAACnM/hYu7PjbbR60/s1600-h/4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394475851743820306" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0HNLyc-hI/AAAAAAAACnM/hYu7PjbbR60/s320/4.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0HMkX52bI/AAAAAAAACnE/XHE3BGQbd7Y/s1600-h/3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394475841163483570" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0HMkX52bI/AAAAAAAACnE/XHE3BGQbd7Y/s320/3.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0HL-B2n5I/AAAAAAAACm8/EOTETF0tBcw/s1600-h/2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394475830870450066" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0HL-B2n5I/AAAAAAAACm8/EOTETF0tBcw/s320/2.jpg" /></a> Family photo<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0HLYOa9QI/AAAAAAAACm0/2UIbOZHZyGo/s1600-h/1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394475820722615554" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/St0HLYOa9QI/AAAAAAAACm0/2UIbOZHZyGo/s320/1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>Hopefully we'll get some pics of the boys this week so I can post some more.

I've figured if I can get this blog updated every other week, it's a miracle. We've just been so busy! Every weekend we're in Auburn for the games. We've got this weekend and then we head out to see new Baby Mark (my brother and sister in law's new baby)!!! I'd show y'all pictures, but someone hasn't sent me any yet! But they're on Facebook, lol. <br /><br />Luke turned 6 months yesterday! He's such a sweet baby :) He and Jackson are so fun to watch together. Luke can be fussy or crying and Jackson can walk over to him and smile or talk and Luke will start smiling and cooing. It's adorable. It's so hard not to compare the two, especially as Luke gets older, but I'm trying not to, lol.<br /><br />Here's some more pics from Auburn. Jackson loves going down there, and both the boys are doing great staying in the RV. <br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/Srl5klF4-hI/AAAAAAAACms/xBRhBhhfWz0/s1600-h/5.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 281px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384468498837207570" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/Srl5klF4-hI/AAAAAAAACms/xBRhBhhfWz0/s320/5.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/Srl5kNKEz0I/AAAAAAAACmk/XBQ9hApjzbY/s1600-h/4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 206px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384468492412309314" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/Srl5kNKEz0I/AAAAAAAACmk/XBQ9hApjzbY/s320/4.jpg" /></a> Wes, Luke, and Nonnie<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/Srl5j_X08dI/AAAAAAAACmc/Mt2heGeqPVQ/s1600-h/3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384468488711893458" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/Srl5j_X08dI/AAAAAAAACmc/Mt2heGeqPVQ/s320/3.jpg" /></a><br />Jackson and Pops<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/Srl5jQf9NSI/AAAAAAAACmU/t5MrSt51yVA/s1600-h/2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384468476129522978" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/Srl5jQf9NSI/AAAAAAAACmU/t5MrSt51yVA/s320/2.jpg" /></a><br />Allison and Weston came down for the Miss State game.

Time is flying! He's rolling over both ways, but he's not crawling yet. He's "talking" all the time in his own little gibberish way;) He doesn't like to be on his tummy much, and he still likes to be swaddled. He also loves his paci when he sleeps, lol. It's so much fun to see him grow - and he's a big boy!!! We can't wait to see what he will do next.<br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810226440252566877noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215249221204779878.post-78713796526135777692009-09-07T19:25:00.004-05:002009-09-07T20:31:12.652-05:00WAR EAGLE!!It's finally that time of year - FOOTBALL SEASON!!! We've been counting down the days since last season was over, and eagerly anticipating the changes that have been made down on The Plains. As most of you know, we bought an RV about 6 months ago, and we couldn't wait to be there. We tried it out over A-Day weekend, but it just wasn't the same as gameday, and Lucas was only 4 weeks old at that time. All of you with kiddos know what a difference pliable little 4 week old sleep anywhere baby and 5 month old on a schedule baby are!! And throw in a 23 month old and see where the ride takes you! But, the boys were awesome - couldn't have asked for a better weekend from either one of them. Both stayed on their normal schedules and slept through the night. Although they did wake up a little early, neither of them was up before 0630, so I guess we can't complain. It's great because both of our parents go to the games, so the boys get to see both sets of grandparents each weekend we're down there. This weekend Wes' sister and her family was down there, so Jackson got to play with his cousins. Unfortunately, two boys kept me pretty busy and I missed many photo ops, so here are the scant few I got from the weekend...and they're pretty much only of the boys except for this one...<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SqWtI-vKrSI/AAAAAAAAClk/ospwhxgLH6M/s1600-h/6.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378895699755314466" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SqWtI-vKrSI/AAAAAAAAClk/ospwhxgLH6M/s320/6.jpg" /></a> Wes and Lance were our chefs for the weekend - homemade chicken fingers, fries, green bean casserole, rolls, salad and homemade ice cream from our neighbors - who could ask for anything more!<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SqWtIvUGnqI/AAAAAAAAClc/B9soclqDJMk/s1600-h/5.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378895695615270562" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SqWtIvUGnqI/AAAAAAAAClc/B9soclqDJMk/s320/5.jpg" /></a> Little Jackson in his new Bo Jackson jersey.

He smiles and laughs all the time and just started rolling over both ways :)<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SqWqOY1jW0I/AAAAAAAAClM/aFTr-1ME_Kk/s1600-h/3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378892494125882178" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SqWqOY1jW0I/AAAAAAAAClM/aFTr-1ME_Kk/s320/3.jpg" /></a> More of those big cheeks :D<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SqWqNsvxdbI/AAAAAAAAClE/VT2hQLkzAbc/s1600-h/2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378892482290480562" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SqWqNsvxdbI/AAAAAAAAClE/VT2hQLkzAbc/s320/2.jpg" /></a> Both boys - it was harder than you know to get Jackson to sit for a few minutes, haha. <br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SqWqNVAxI-I/AAAAAAAACk8/rn6cQ5PN8qE/s1600-h/1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378892475919311842" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qldAf0d5gOw/SqWqNVAxI-I/AAAAAAAACk8/rn6cQ5PN8qE/s320/1.jpg" /></a><br /><div>I couldn't get one where both of them were smiling, and am not sure how to photoshop one face onto another picture. One day I'll have the time to look that up and figure it out...so maybe by the year 2020... Hope everyone enjoyed opening weekend. We can't wait to get back down there next weekend - so glad it's a short week!</div></div></div></div></div></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810226440252566877noreply@blogger.com2
