HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACKSON!!!!!!

Our little Jackson turned 3 yesterday!!!!! Ben had to work so we celebrated on Friday. We went to Chuck E Cheeses for lunch. Jackson LOVES it there. He calls it Chuck E Cheeses house and asks to go there all of the time. We had a great time and played lots and lots of games. Then later in the evening we tried to have a BBQ but it didn't work out so we cooked hamburgers and hotdogs inside. Chris and Mona and Jacksons cousins came over. So did his friend Sammy along with his parents Stacy and Steve. The kids all ran around like crazy. Jackson loved it! He loves his cousins and Sammy!!!! Ben decorated the cake and everything was Spiderman themed. We got Jackson a shiny, new, red bike and he thinks its great! All in all it was a pretty darn good day! I can't believe my baby boy is 3. CRAZY! He is the sweetest little boy and we love him sooooo sooo much!

PROUD MOMMY AND WIFE!

BEN GOT EXCEPTED INTO BYU!!!!!! We are super happy and he can't wait to be in school again. I am so proud of him! Life is good! He made me the BEST card for mothers day and got me some chick flicks. He is such an amazing husband and dad.

Dutch finally rolled over for the first time yesterday! Woohooo. She could have actually rolled over a couple of weeks ago but it happened while I was out of the room and Jackson claims that it was him. So we will count yesterday as her first. She is a DREAM! We put her to bed between 8 and 9 when Jackson goes down. We put her in her own crib in Jacksons room awake and she falls asleep and doesn't get up until around 5:30. She gets up eats and then goes back down until Jackson gets up around 8am. I am super proud of her! Jackson plays in his bed and yells for us and gets up to go to the bathroom every night and she just sleeps through it. All I have to say is we are soooooo blessed! She is so happy all of the time. It is super easy to make her smile and coo. She loves to talk really loud and she loves to give kisses!

Jackson is the best big brother ever! He loves Dutch so much. He would hold her all day if we would let him. If only he was big enough to do it all by himself that would help me a lot. :) He is such a smart, polite boy! Anything with a rhythm he picks up so fast! He is amazing at singing songs and counting(he can count forward and backwards and in Spanish). He can sing Hey Jude and it is sooo cute. He puts his own dishes in the sink when he is finished eating.......which gets a little dangerous because he throws them in. He is definitely almost 3 and can be a little terd but he knows how to turn it on and be soooooo sweet especially when he wants something! He calls Ben his best friend daddy. I love it! He does big boy puzzles with me almost everyday and he is soooo good at them. I do the edges while he does the recognizable faces and bodies and then we fill in the rest together. He plays computer games like a pro. He knows his way around playhousedisney.com like nobodies business. He can go to the bathroom all by himself though we usually have to help him put his pants back on. Sometimes we just find him in the bathroom on the potty. He is such a big boy and tells us so all of the time.
