Happy 1st Birthday Jackson!!


I can't believe we have a one year old!! It seems like just yesterday John and I were in good ole' Rexburg freezing our tails off, dating and talking about marriage. Now we really are married and have a little 1 yr. old boy! Crazy! But at the same time, I can't image and really remember much about life before Jack. One year ago today, we went to the hospital here in Eugene after three miserable and sleepless days of labor and 4 hours later we had a healthy 7 lb. 8 oz. baby boy! This past year has been busy, stressful and tons of fun all at once! Here's what Jack is up to now at 1 yr. old:


  • He's walking like a big boy and barely ever crawls anymore

  • He loves balls (his first word besides mamma and dadda was ball) and has at least 10 of them in various sizes and colors. He also loves to dunk his ball on his little tikes hoop that Grandma Sue got for him, and claps for himself after every basket

  • He loves to mimic mommy like brushing his hair, trying to put blush on the top of his head with mommy's blush brush, and his favorite- sweeping the floor with his own kid sized broom


  • He LOVES dogs and pretty much all animals- he has a ton of fun at the pet store

  • His favorite foods are black beans, corn, fishies, and ice cream


  • He loves to give mommy & daddy hugs and kisses and high fives


  • His favorite songs are "If your happy and you know it...", "Patty Cake", and "The wheels on the bus"


  • He has 8 full teeth


  • He loves to open doors and run outside, even if it's pooring rain


  • He loves to play with his buddy Kellen

We sure love our little guy! Happy Birthday Jack Jack!!
