Go Bears!

Resting up for the Bears game. Thanks Auntie Jackie for the awesome Hester Jersey!
I took this picture when Jackson had already been in bed for a couple of hours. I walked in and saw that his foot was hanging out of the crib. Maybe this is normal? Maybe not? Anyway, it was defintely a kodak moment to me. Of course I fixed the foot problem so that he wouldn't wake up crying in the middle of the night from his foot being stuck, awwwww.

How do you explain this? All I will say is that it was late on a Saturday night in the garage and a game of Beer Pong. Its Mike (Linseys Love) Jimmy (What a creep!) Gunars (These are his hats) and Tom Eddy (who woke up in a different place than where he fell asleep) haha. Just thought it was a good laugh!

Thanks Uncle Brad for the studdly Denver Broncos outfit. Jimmy said he can do the Broncos but no Sox gear Brad:) I think this may be one of my favorite pictures of him so far!!!
What a big boy! Riding a horse at a family fish fry last Saturday.

I think he was actually a little interested in the horse.

I couldnt resist, this is Jackson with my grandma and my cousin Meghans daughter, Kenzie. What a good lookin family!

A night out at Boffalo Wild Wings. We joke that we used to go to the bar on Tuesdays for "the coldest beer in town" but now we sit in the family section. Amy and Gunars were nice enough to join us in the family section. Of course, we still sampled a beer. Jackson also flirted with the whole L-W East Volleyball team that was sitting next to us, I think its the ears on his hoodie that did it in for him:)

Here is Jackson trying orange Juice for the first time at breakfast. His face explains it all! I hope you enjoy:)

I just wanted to check in and say hi! Jackson is full of laughing (he is very ticklish) and is now holding his own bottle! It is hard to just watch him drink it when I;m so used to holding it for him. He has two teeth that are on the bottom that you can see when he opens his mouth, and sharp too! He is rolling all over the place and now I have to really keep a close eye on him. Just this week, he is finally starting to sleep better at daycare. He has always seemed to like it there but he would come home exhausted and sleep til 5, then I felt like I didn't get to see him much:( Oh, and Jackson has to get his 6 month shots today so cross your fingers that it doesn't upset him to much. Jimmy is going along for this one so he may have to be the strong one for both Jackson and I, haha. On another note, our house is still up in the air but hopefully we will know everything for sure by tomorrow?!?!??! If I didn' already tell you, it appraised for less than what we agreed on so if the seller doesn't agree to decrease the price than we will have to walk away from it for several reasons. We just hope that he is willing to work with us because I already feel attatched to the house and have pictured us living in it lots of times. I will try to post some pictures/videos this weekend when I have more time. In the meantime, I can't wait to get together with my friends tomorrow night for our "First Friday of Every Month" get-together!!! I have been looking forward to it all week!!! Jackson is of course pumped about it too, considering he will have plenty of girls to flirt with!

Elmo Mirror Discovery

I apologize about not posting lately, but with work and the computer being in Jackson's room at Amy and Gunars hous it has been hard to keep up! Here is a lttle video of Jackson last week playing the song from his Elmo mirror. Once he figured out how to play the song, it was all I was hearing in his monitor in the morning and when he was supposed to be napping!!! I have to admit, it is really cute! On another note, we finally found our future house!!! It is in New Lenox on Boeing Dr. I told Jimmy that it feels like a mansion in there compared to our condo. It is a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath house with a full basement. We are supposed to close on it November 7th. (As long as the whole process goes smoothly) Everything else is going really good. Jackson just got his bottom teeth Saturday so everyday they are coming in a little more. He is rolling and scooting everywhere and is beginning to be all over the place. He is also very ticklish, which is one of my favorite parts about him! I hope you enjoy this vidoe of his favorite Elmo mirror. The sounds was being funny so hopefully it works correctly:) Hope all is well with everyone and thanks for checking in on us!!!

5 Months Old...

Precious moments with Auntie Lori after dinner. We have all been so tired trying to get through these first few weeks of school. (Any teacher knows this) Jackson is doing fine in his little daycare, just some minor issues with not sleeping well at first and whining when another baby gets a bottle in front of him, haha!
Happy 54th Birthday Grandpa!!! Now your really old, being a grandpa and all.

I love riding on Marlo with Uncle GuGu!

Jimmy with Donte at his first Mustangs game of the season. He is playing with the PeeWee and still doing awesome. Go Donte!!! If you have ever been or plan on going to a Mustangs game, do not talk to Jimmy while they are playing, he takes it VERY seriously:)

Jackson and his Nani at his first Mustangs game. Awwww!
