FIRST "Birthday" trip to FL to visit Mimi & Papa without Mommy, Daddy, & Harrison!!!! Can you tell he's excited to be there? :)

This little Jackson of ours, or "little J" as we like to call him sometimes, just brightens our world! He is the life of the party and our own little comedian! He keeps us laughing and we love every minute of it. How blessed we are to have him as part of our family! When I found out I was having another boy, my conclusion was that he will look exactly like his big brother Harrison. I never expected to have a blonde haired, blue eyed, ball of wild energy! While he wasn't what I was expecting, he is everything I could have dreamed of! This little boy is so passionate about everything he does. He loves with all of his heart and he loves people. He wants so badly to love on, hug, kiss, touch, however he can get his hands on everyone around him! He is SO different than his brother it isn't even funny but they are unique and we love them each for who they are!

Lord THANK YOU SO much for this precious boy you've given to us. We can't imagine life without our Jackson. He is tough and sometimes more wild and difficult than I think I can handle but I know you picked us to be his parents and you believe we can do it. Help us to know how to guide him towards you and to love him as completely as we can. Help us to always come to you when we are confused and unsure of what to do with him. I pray that he would choose to love you and follow you at a young age and for all of his life, with the passionate heart he already displays. God thank you for these precious boys, what blessings they are in our lives!!!

Oh, my goodness! When I first saw this, I thought you had had Addison while I was out of town!! Happy birthday to Jackson! Yay!

We had such a wonderful time celebrating Jackson's 3rd birthday! The trip to Fl was probably more fun for Mimi and Papa than it was for him....but we surely made a lot of memories. From the "busaloes" to the ducks to the birds and fish we had a ball! He really is a funny little guy! He talked to those busaloes like they knew exactly what he was saying, "Sit down, you busaloe!" "Now you come and get this carrot, you busaloe" We laughed and laughed!

Love,
Mimi and Papa

Jackson is so much fun to be around. You are blessed to have such wonderful, unique little boys. I think even more they are blesses to have you and Anthony as parents! We've so enjoyed getting to know your family! Happy Birthday little Jackson!

Oh Beth, I love going back down memory lane looking at pics of our little Jackson. He is so precious and I feel like we've missed so much of the last 3 years of his little life since we've been over here for 2.5 years now. I can't believe he was only 7 weeks old when Ian and I got married...wow how time flies! I love the prayer you wrote for him...he is certainly blessed to have such great parents in you and Anthony.

Happy Birthday darling boy! Here's to many more years of happy memories, laughter and hugs!!!

I love seeing all the pictures! Soon you will be repeating the hospital thing with Jackson looking at his new sister instead of being the baby himself...Yeah! I think he will adjust to being a big brother rather well...He has a good example in Harrison and he enjoys being BIG...No Baby Stuff for our "Little J".
Love Ya, Mom

I LOVE seeing how much our sweet little Jackson has grown!! Unbelievable! I love the picture from his last birthday blowing out the candles!!! You are not going to BELIEVE how GIANT he looks when he's holding Addison!

Welcome to the 3 year old club Jackson. Can't believe he's that old. I remember his first birthday like it was yesterday! Jackson is such a fun loving little guy - can't wait to see him again soon!
