Happy 4th Birthday to our little man

I have always had people tell me that Jackson looks like his Daddy, and in response we have always said, "you should see John's Dad...that is who he looks like"  Well...here is your proof! ...
This was John's daddy (Diddy) when he was a little boy :)  How sweet is that, they could be twins!!  















This year has been so much fun!  He is such a fun spirited and silly boy!  I still can't believe he is 4 yrs old.  How did he ever look like this...
I think every year brings new challenges and new fun things we can do with him.  He still has his meltdowns and when he is bad...he is BAD! HA...but on the flip side, when he is good...he is REALLY GOOD!  He can say the most sweetest things you have ever heard in the sweetest voice.  And then he can also say some very ugly things with a horrible tone ;)  I think he is a pretty typical little 4 year old.  He is doing and saying so many new things, but I will name a few...
His Favorite things: Asking a MILLION questions, Playing Super Hero's at school, going to school, playing games with me and John, playing Angry Birds, cake, seeing his cousins and grandparents, when Bailey hides, watching Jimmy Neutron, coloring or arts and crafts in general, singing and dancing (but not in front of an audience!), fixing stuff with his Daddy, Jump'in Jump'in (a Daddy activity!), lawnmowers, his stuffed animal Dog, and saying Goodnight to the moon.
His Least Favorite things: Going to the bathroom (ugghhh), eating vegetables or trying new food, monsters and anything remotely scary, Daddy's air hoses, and sleeping without a nightlight.

Happy 4th Birthday to the little boy of our dreams.  We couldn't imagine our life without you in it and you make your Daddy and I laugh constantly. We love you with all of our hearts, more than we ever knew it was even possible to love.  xoxoxoxo

Jackson's 4th and Bailey's 2nd Pirate Birthday Party!

I decided on a Pirate themed party this year, actually...Jackson gave me the idea when he was playing it with his friends one day at this same playground :)  I made their shirts match this year, I can't believe they are 4 & 2 already.  Wow, time flies!


I made all the kids pirate 1st mate hats (out of fabric from Joann's.  I cut it in the shape of a triangle, I used a bandanna for my pattern and cut it in half. They turned out great!), I also made the eye patches (with a pattern I found by Googling "eye patch pattern", foam,and then I used some elastic from Michaels).  I bought the swords off Amazon-you can also buy them at Pigtails and Crew-cuts.

Here are the kids doing the treasure hunt I drew up...thank goodness it went well and they all stayed together!  They got a sticker at each stop and then once their map was filled with stickers they went to find the treasure!



Off they ran to find the treasure!!

How sweet are they?!?!  Arrrr matey!!


I think this is always their favorite part!


This was my first time doing a swirl on the cupcake and making my own frosting (thanks to Jessi for my million phone calls and questions!) and they turned out great :)

Treasure map!

mmmmmmmmmm

So cute!  Love Grandma and Pop!



She spent probably 80% of her time hanging out with Pop.  Funny she knows just who to bring her present to if she needs it open!


Bailey and her party girl friends :)  So cute!

LOOOOOVE her...how sweet is this!

Boys will be boys :) They had a blast!

St. Simon's Island for Kristin and Neal's Wedding

We went to Kristin and Neal's wedding this weekend and had the. best. time!!!!  We were lucky enough to have a free amazing place to stay at Meredith's parents place.  If you look over our shoulder to the right, the tall building and palm trees was where the wedding took place!! How cool is that?!?!
 Playing catch phrase!
 It really was like high school spring break, it was so surreal to be there with all my best friends and our significant others :)  Really was just an awesome weekend!
 Wedding time!!
 They both looked amazing.  Such a PERFECT wedding, really...it was just a beautiful day all around!
And here are my best girls...sadly we forgot to get one with her wedding dress on, but we did remember after she changed ;)
