Swimming!

At the beginning of the summer, Jackson was not so sure about swimming. Now , though, he loves it and has so much fun swimming and jumping in the pool.

He had a blast with Jeff at the pool last weekend!

A little more swimming, this time with a noodle:


OH swimming is so much fun!


Jumping in the pool!




We're so glad that Jeff's parents have a pool we can use - Jackson is a huge fan!

A Belated 4th of July

The month of July has been a long month of bar exam studying for me, so it took me awhile to upload these pictures and update the blog. Fortunately it is STILL July, so I'm not too behind, right?

We spent the 4th of July at Lacey & Corey's house (thanks for having us guys!) along with some other friends. What's funny is that at the time, Lacey was pregnant, but because I am so behind on my blog updates, she's since had her baby! Jeff and I got to go see Lacey, Corey and Ella at the hospital last week.

Anyway, on to some festive 4th of July pictures.

Corey has drums. Jackson is a big fan. He might be a rock star someday. Hopefully not of the Tommy Lee variety, though.



Jackson got to play some basketball with Daddy and Daddy's friends, as well. Maybe he'll be a UK basketball player?


Anyone need a beer?

Because we always strive to win the parent of the year award, we let Jackson hold fireworks.

What do fireworks do, Jackson? Why, they go POP, of course!


Roasting marshmallows, another incredibly safe activity. He was supervised by Corey, though, so we didn't worry.

Trying out his first s'more.


And finally, something you don't see very often - a picture of Jackson and his Mommy! Usually I am the one behind the camera.


It's been a long month around here, so we are excited that I am finally done with the bar exam. Hopefully I passed, but I won't know until October whether I did or not. At least it's over, because then I can update this blog with more cute pictures of Jackson and maybe some of the other new babies in our life. It seems like everyone we know had babies recently! Erin and Paul welcomed Gillian on July 18th, Corey and Lacey had Ella last week, Danielle and Ryan had Rece in May and Steve and Corinne had Kramer in April.

Cutest Picture EVER!

Jackson and his Uncle Brad reading a book together. How adorable are they? Brad is Jackson's godfather, and we got a chance to see him a few weeks ago when we were at my parents'. Clearly, Jackson is a fan!

Countdown to 2 is ON!

I can't believe how close Jackson is to two now! He is 21 months old today, and will be 2 three months from now! He is growing up way too fast.

A crazy hair picture for his Aunt Danielle. Yes, he needs a haircut. It is getting a little long in the back. Last week when we were visiting Danielle, Ryan and Rece, Danielle said that every time she sees Jackson his hair is even crazier than it was the last time. So this picture is for her - CRAZY HAIR:

Jackson has a little red wagon we got him, and he loves it. He decided to give me a break from giving him a ride tonight and he pulled his wagon around the neighborhood. Unfortunately he had no one who wanted or needed a ride.

I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want a ride from this handsome guy! Even if he does have crazy hair.
