Jackson's 2 year pictures

Here are a few of the pictures I took of Jackson today. He is getting so big! We had a fun time playing on the train :) These were taken in downtown Kennesaw. I also treated him to lunch, we ate outside a little cafe in town. The weather was perfect!

Jackson's 2nd Birthday Party!

I can't believe another year has almost past and I have a 2 year old!!!

We did his very favorite movie theme...Toy Story :) I am pretty excited how they turned out, I made the cupcakes myself :)

Jackson was trying to eat them ALL day! :)

Me and Jessi....who is due in March, can't wait to find out what she is having!!!

Jackson and Liam!

"Pampa's!"

This was hilarious! He did NOT like us singing to him!

Then this happened ;) I think it was mainly b/c he just wanted to eat his cupcake already!!

Then he got excited when he got to blow out his candles...soooo cute!!!

Ahhhhhh....FINALLY Mom let me eat it!

Payton, Emerson, Jackson M., Tucker, and Liam

Tana, Myself, and Courtney :)

"Pama's!"

Already taking a toy over to Dex to open! hahaha

I love how they all gather to open up gifts...Jackson does the same thing when he is at birthday parties!

Jackson saying goodbye to Kessler and the rest of his buddies! For Jackson's 2nd birthday we did a low-key cake and ice cream party :) Considering we did not know if we would have Bailey or not and the fact that I am absolutely exhausted...we did pretty good :) I think it's a good sign that she stayed put so that he could enjoy his party! We all had such a great time and Jackson is so lucky to have such wonderful friends :)

Bunco

Alice and Wonderland Tea Party Themed Bunco!

The girls also gave me a wonderful shower!

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum!!!

Only we are this cool!

This is the majority of our group :)

So many beautiful details!

I had a great time at Bunco last night and Cindy came up with our outfits!! It could not have been more perfect for two pregnant women! hahaha I wish you could have seen everything in person~it was amazing all the details that went into this Bunco party! Alisha really is so creative!

Counting to 10!!!

All the kids in one picture!

He is telling me all about the fishes!

This was really neat to see :)

The first pics are from our trip to the aquarium with some of my friends and their kids. We had such a great time and the kids all really enjoyed it too! I really wanted to have a special fun time with him before Bailey arrived and this was great!

The other pictures are from Jackson's twin buddies (he has a few friends that are twins!) Jackson and Emerson's birthday party. He had a great time and loves to go to "jumpy places"!

The other fun news is that Jackson can count to TEN!! On his daily report from preschool a few weeks ago it said, "Jackson did great with counting today". Well, of course I thought they just meant he counted to 3...which he does all the time around the house. But, we never have counted past three with him.

So the other night we were playing with blocks and I counted to three and then he continued on to TEN! I had tears in my eyes and was so excited! I couldn't believe it and John didn't believe it either until he did it for him too ;) It was so cute! He has only been in preschool a few weeks and it was so neat to see him learning so much already!

Bachelorette parties, GT football, and more!

Janet and John came to have dinner with us for my John's birthday and I just loved this picture of John reading to Jackson. I wish I had taken more pictures that night!

Did I mention how talented one of my best friends Jessi is?!?! She made these beautiful dresses for Bailey! They are actually a onsie underneath...and they are prettier than any dress I could ever buy in a store!!! She will be coming home in one of them :)

These are pictures of Bailey's room so far :) Still doing some finishing touches, but you get the general idea. Now only if my carpet wasn't green ;) Oh well...I know I will get new carpet someday :) I can't wait to finally see her and for her to meet Jackson :)

Our good friends Blake and April invited us to the Georgia Tech opening game (John & Blake's Alma mater). We had such a great time! I am not sure if you can tell from the pictures, but we all got a little too much sun that day too ;)

Did I mention that we have the best Sunday School group ever! We are missing a few people from this picture. They offer so much love and support and I truly love the hour that I am with them every week. I am so blessed to have found an amazing group of people that I feel so comfortable with!

We went to my Mom's a few weeks ago and here are some pictures of her and Jackson playing! I seem to always miss taking any pictures with Dextr in them and it kills me!!! I promise he was there too ;)

Last weekend was Ashley's bachelorette party at Meredith's parents lake house on Lake Martin, AL. We all had a great time and don't worry...I did not ride the boat...I did however get to use my long lens and get some fun pictures of them having a blast! I can't believe how fast it has come and Ashley will be married in a few short weeks!!!
