I can't believe Jackson is a 1 1/2 years old! It's even crazier to think in just 6 short months he will be 2 and he will have a brother or sister! He is saying so many new words and really understanding what we say now. He LOVES to play outside with his bubbles, car, and grill! John takes him down to see the ducks almost every night after work. We have also begun putting him in "time-out". It seems to really work. Most the time even with the threat of it he will stop misbehaving! I have to admit it is hard to listen to him cry and 60 seconds (1 min. for each year a child is) seems like a lifetime!

We had a very busy and fun Easter weekend. We had our church Easter egg hunt on Saturday morning and Jackson put one whole egg in his basket ;) He was waaaaay to excited about the jumpy moonwalk things! He had a blast jumping in them!! Then we went to visit Grandfather at the nursing home. He looked great and it was so good to visit with him. On Sunday we went to church and then off to Grandmothers for Easter lunch and Easter egg hunt!
