Jax and Jakes 2012 Birthday Party

This year, we decided to do a joint birthday party for the boys since Mom is 8 months pregnant. Jake just turned 2 on April 9th and Jax will be 4 on May 27. We had the party at Pump it Up and I couldn't have been happier. They had a great time with family and a few friends from school. I wasn't too happy with the cake but other than that, they had a great time and got a bunch of new toys that have kept them very busy! Here are some pictures from the event. Enjoy!

Bluebonnets 2012

I finally attempted to have some bluebonnet pictures made with the boys. I found a spot in between Midlothian and Mansfield that didn't have too many weeds. The flowers were bothering Jax's eyes. I kept seeing tears and he wasn't crying...poor thing. Jake was on a ball so he at least let me take one of him by himself. Here are a few. At least we tried. Better luck next year!

Easter 2012

We had a great Easter weekend this year. Jake turned 2 and we enjoyed Easter with our family. We went to First Baptist Dallas for church and then headed to Grandmother's house for lunch and an Easter egg hunt with my side of the family. After that, we went to Grumpa and Grammy's house and enjoyed some time with them and Grandma. After that, we finished the evening with a little time at Gigi's house.

The boys got tons of candy and the Easter bunny came to visit them at the house with more candy and gifts. We had a great day. We were so full of candy, no one ate dinner and we all slept great. Enjoy our pictures.

Happy Birthday Jake Ryan

Jake Ryan Jackson turns 2 on April 9th. We had a little dinner with my family the other night and celebrated. We are doing a big joint birthday party for both boys in May but wanted to acknowledge his bday this weekend. Jeremy smoked some awesome ribs and I picked up a quick cake while I grocery shopped Friday(I stuck my finger through the nose before Jake saw it). Jake loved the cake and enjoyed everyone singing to him. So cute. Happy Birthday Jake. I look forward to many more with you!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

We finally made it to one of Jeremy's games this weekend. They had a makeup game against Midlothian that didn't exactly go in our favor but it was still nice to take the boys and see half the family too! The boys had fun watching daddy coach. I got a great picture of Jax trying to talk to Jeremy through the fence while he was coaching. Jax came back to me and said "Daddy told me hi"....greatness! After the game was over, the boys got to run on the field with the other coach's kid, Gavin. They had a good time playing with him as well because he brought so many toys. We had a fun time. Always fun to see Jeremy in action! Enjoy the pics!

Zoo Day

A couple of weeks ago, Jeremy took a day off and we went to the Dallas Zoo. It was perfect weather for it and not too busy. We had a great time...especially at the petting zoo/kids area. My camera battery died soon after we got there so I took pictures off my phone. The boys got to feed the giraffes, which I personally enjoy. They pet a bunch of animals like the goats in the petting zoo and we all rode the merry go round before we left. Jake wasn't too sure about it so he held onto Jeremy real tight. Jax (mr cautious) and I rode on a bench right behind them. Jax even wanted to go again...baby steps :) What a fun day!

Pump it Up

I took the boys to Pump it Up in Duncanville a couple of weeks ago to blow off some steam and to check it out for their joint birthday party this year. They had a great time and of course threw a huge fit when it was time to leave. They had a great time. Jake is fearless - he went down all the slides and loved them where Jax wouldn't go near them. They are so different! Here are some pictures from our fun day.
