You can stop nagging now. :)

We had some wonderful family photos taken by our dear friend, Susie! It was such a blessing to have a friend taking our photos as it is quite difficult to get a two year old to sit for even a second, let alone smile for a picture. I am so pleased with the results! Molly was surprisingly happy this day! She even wanted me to put her down so she could walk on her own. For the above photo, we made Susie climb up on a giant fake rock to get that shot. Thank goodness, it soon became out favorite family shot!

Now for a few Jackson stories. It seems to be, the more he talks, the more entertaining he gets. So, last week I celebrated my 29th birthday. I got to celebrate by being told I'm old by not only my husband and brother-in-law, but even by my own son. Granted, he has been under his fathers influence for a while, but that day everyone was self initiated. While we sat at the dinner table, Jackson came out stating, "Jackson not old. Moo-moo not old. Daddy not old. (and just when I thought I was going to get a wonderful compliment) Mommy old." Thanks Jackson. Thanks.

My next story came shortly after Jackson asked me for a snack. We went into the kitchen and he first told me he wanted an apple. So I cut up and gave him an apple. Then, he saw the chips on the counted and decided he wanted them instead. I told him he needed to finish his apple and then he could have some chips and he complied (at first). After a few slices of apple, he asked for some chips again and I said, "are your apples all gone? are there any left in the bowl?" Being the clever and silly boy that he is, he walked over to his bowl (which still had apples in it), covered up his eyes with his hands and proceeded to say, "apples all gone? where apples go?" What am I going to do with this boy?

Lastly, Jason and I have been blessed by wonderful friends that give us the chance to go out on dates once in a while. Corrie and Ryan came to baby-sit while Jason and I got to go see "UP" in 3D. We brought home our 3D glasses and, the next day, discovered how fun they could really be. Since we had two pairs, Jackson and Molly each got their own and had a blast with them! Today, Jackson put them on top of his head and said, "Jackson doctor. Jackson get doctor sticker." (For those of you who don't know, there is a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episode where Daisy gets her pretend doctors sticker.)
