Jax is Getting Everywhere

So, our crazy baby turns 7 months old in a few days, and he moves around everywhere! He started inch-worm crawling at 5 and a 1/2 months, and was crawling by his 6 month. He sits, pulls up to standing on everything, and even climbs stairs!

(We should have known this was coming. . . Josie was way too easy!)

He just turned 6 months in this picture below. He is off the ground!

He is just so proud of himself!


What a little stinker! We know he just loves to make us nervous!

Here is Jackson laughing. I am tickling his back! He is always so giggly and ticklish.

First Foods

Jackson is just getting so big! Here he is last month with his first try with rice cereal. He has been rejecting it the last little bit so maybe we will start him
on some veggies and fruits!

He sure liked trying to "help" us feed him.

More please!

Summer Fun Summary

We had a blast this Summer, especially Josie!

Here are the highlights that we caught on camera!

What is Summer without swimming?

Josie Pool Diving

That's my pretty girl!!!

She had many late nights, this one with Camille and Sam.

Early mornings then looked something like this.
You don't want to know what I looked like...


Josie and Jackson had a visit from Great Grandma and Grandpa.

Ben and Josie played a lot in Grandma's garden. . .

and in her sand box too.


Jackson enjoyed laying around outside.

We took Ben and Josie to the Tracy Aviary in Salt Lake
where they got to see lots of large birds!
(I am happy to say that the goatee is gone)


Jackson and cousin Josh got to stay behind with Grandma.

Josie had some hair firsts this Summer too.
It was long enough for a french braid. . .

and I am not quite sure what to call this. . .

4th of July in Huntsville

It has been a crazy Summer for us, and we have just barely moved into our
new home (a two month process),
SO we thought we'd give you the run down of what
happened in between the craziness! Let's start with the 4th of July!
We went to Huntsville to celebrate with Steve's family.

The day began with a town parade.
Josie and her cousin Ben had a blast running around together!

When we told them to give each other a hug,
they thought it meant kiss!

Jackson enjoyed just being held by Daddy.

All sorts of games awaited the kids back at Steve's Grandma's house!
Josie loved fishing in the pond.

Playing Rocket Launcher with Ben was also a highlight,
although sharing it was quite a test for them...

Both of them looked for coins in the shavings hoping to strike it rich.

Grandpa and Jackson were so tired by the end of it all.

Josie gathered her little prizes and
was ready to go home by the end of the day too.
