go karts and putt putt

Janet and the kids had to go home on Monday afternoon so we spent the morning doing some fun stuff. we headed over to Adventure Landing for a little go kart riding and some putt putt golf. it's just a little place close to where we live but it's GREAT. we had so much fun!

look at Emma waving to us! what a sweetie!


Emma LOVED the go kart...can you tell????

Harrison and Mommy! he wanted to go as fast as possible...i tried not to disappoint!

Austin was watching Grant, Emma, and Addison in case you were wondering why both Janet and I were riding the go karts at the same time. Harrison wanted to ride with me and Jackson wanted to ride with Aunt Janet. :)

I love that little hand!

Austin refused to smile for me. He was too focused!

Grant looks focused too! :)

what a smile!

I love this little guy...he's getting to be SO BIG!

hey sweet girl! :)

Mommy & Harrison

After we finished riding the go karts, we headed over to the putt putt area. I thought Jackson would get very frustrated...he tends to do that when he feels like he's not doing a good job. He did great. He didn't care how many times it took to get the ball in the hole. He just kept hitting until he made it. He never got mad! I was so proud of him. All the cousins enjoyed being together! :)




these two guy love each other so much. and they are SO much alike it's not even funny. when I look at Grant, I imagine that will be Jackson just a few years from now.

every time we would try to get Emma's picture, she'd give us this look. can you tell we were bothering her? :)

Addison just lounged and enjoyed her Puffs


my sister!

Emma was the only one to make a whole in one. and she promised if she made a whole in one she would smile for the camera. that's why we got such a cute picture! :)

love this one!

Addison (10 mo), Jackson (4), Emma (5), Harrison (7), Grant(9), & Austin (12)

We had to fight with them to get the last picture but I'm so glad we did! It turned our GREAT! If only Baylee and Savannah and Grace could have been with us! :) I love that the cousin are so close to each other. They really do love each other and I love that! It was such a wonderful time together!

playing at the mall

while Janet and the kids were here, we stopped at the mall for lunch and a little playtime. Addison LOVES crawling all over...she feels like she is big stuff! the boys liked entertaining her too. :)

Jackson turns 4!!!

I know this post is way overdue! I've been trying to stay current and catch up little by little.

OUR LITTLE BOY IS FOUR!!! Oh my goodness, it's so hard to believe.

The last couple of weeks I've been reminded of what I love about 4 year olds. They just say the cutest things! He's still a handful, but he is hilarious!! He knows it too! I need to start writing more of it down. I'm gonna miss his cuteness!

Krispy Kreme birthday doughnuts! I love this tradition!

We had a small birthday party for Jackson with our neighbors and the Barbours on Sunday April 19th. It was so fun to be able to celebrate on his actual birthday!! The best part of all was that my sister Janet and her kids were able to make it down for the party! What a TREAT! Austin, Grant, and Emma were our special guests! We met at a nearby park, played, ate pizza, had cake and ice cream, played, open gifts, played kick ball in the open field, and went home. I do love park parties. Easy, GREAT for the kids, and very little clean up! Perfect! :)

Jackson wanted a Batman cake. This blue icing really did a number on your mouth! :) It was yummy!

Jackson is more of an icing kind of guy than a cake kind of guy. I actually think he had two pieces but only ate the icing off of both of them. Too cute!

It was so fun celebrating out little J! He is a sweetheart, full of life, so loving and we are so blessed to be able to call him our own!

We love you Jackson! Happy 4th Birthday!
