Jackson's First Swim

Our neighborhood had a Memorial Day Pool Party. Jackson got a free frag to show his patriotism and had his first swim in a pool.

We make a "good" looking crew. Jackson's drooling, Ralph has sunscreen that he hasn't quite rubbed in, and well i look fabulous of course.

First Camping Trip: Lake Livingston

Jackson "enjoying" our hike this morning

We made delicious smores and now our clothes smell like campfire

Jackson and Ralph sawed logs all night long, while the noises of the outdoors kept me up thinking of wolves and horror movies.

Jackson loved watching the fire, if you can look really close i tried to capture the firelight in his eyes.

Me and my little man at the beautiful Lake Livingston. (it was very pretty, but it stunk)

This was Jackson's first time camping and Ralph and I's first time camping together. We went to Lake Livingston State Park, we camped, cooked out, and hiked. It was very mellow and relaxing.

Ten Things We Like About Our Move To Houston:

1. Ralph enjoys his new job


2. We live 10 minutes away from his work


3. There are 3 other couples on our street that go to church with us


4. 80+ miles of biking trails around Kingwood


5. Neighborhood pool


6. We don't live apart


7. Getting to see some of Ralph's family more


8. I get to stay home with Jackson


9. We get to make new friends


10. Ralph's 9-80 work week that means we get a 3 day weekend every other week

It was sad to leave Owasso, but we are blessed and trying to make the most of our new opportunities!

Jackson Napping-He sleeps so sweetly

He looks just like Ralph!

I love Jackson. I know as his mom that I'm biased but he is the best baby. To brag a little- he is sleeping 6 yo 8 hours a night most of the time, he is so calm and curious, and.............. drum roll........ he rolled from his front to his back today for the first time. I laid him out for some tummy-time, turned around to sit down and when i turned back, he was on his back. Luckily I was able to get him to do it again for the camera.
