Texas Thanksgiving

This was our year to be in Texas for Thanksgiving. It was a whirlwind of traveling and eating and family fun! It has been three years since we have gotten to go so we were so thankful to be there! This is the first time Jackson met his Grandma Geneva.

And his second time to meet his Grandpa Hurston and Grandma Elsie.

Of course, he loves his Bobbie!

And his Papa!

And all the girls!

And his lively Uncle Johnny!

There's just something about Texas that makes you want to put on a cowboy hat!

We discovered a talent that we did not know Jackson had. Watch the video below to see!

Jackson Turns ONE!

I'm so behind on my posts that I'm going to have to post three times today! We had Jackson's birthday party on November 21 and he had a blast. It was a football theme as you can see.

The Birthday Cake!

The only picture I got of our family!

Jackson and his best buddy Shepherd

Jackson and his Pooh Car from Nana and Pawpaw

A very important milestone; his big boy carseat!

And best of all, Nana and Pawpaw were able to come all the way from Nashville to his birthday party!

Halloween, Crawling, and much more!

Well, I didn't get a post in last week so this week I've got lots to share! First, we got Jackson's handmade bedding this week and it is gorgeous! Dorothy did such a beautiful job and I can't believe how well it turned out.

I finally got around to getting Jackson's free Born To Be A Wildcat t-shirt. He was so cute in it!

Jackson is still getting into EVERYTHING! He really loves to brush his hair with my hairbrush. I have to fight him for it while I'm getting ready in the mornings.

Jackson was a skeleton for part of the day on Halloween. This onsie glows in the dark so each time I picked him up from his nap, I saw a glowing green skeleton!

For the Trunk or Treat he was an alligator. We made our trunk into a glowing, green swamp but my camera died right before so I didn't get any pictures of him in his natural habitat!

Alligator Smiles!

He got a race car driver as an early birthday present from Bobbi and he loves to make motor noises when he drives it!

And last of all, I know I've told you guys that he can crawl but here's the evidence! He didn't really crawl much until he was about 10 months but now he's everywhere! He followed me around the house this morning for the first time. I think he has just now realized that he can go from room to room! Uh oh!

11 Months

We've made it 11 months already! Whew, it has flown by. We can't believe this little man will be turning the big #1 next month! He brings such joy to our lives and we don't know how we lived without him! We took his 11 month teddy bear picture and decided to try a new venue as he can now crawl off the couch while I'm taking the picture. He's quite bit longer than his teddy bear that was so huge when he was born! He loves to talk on the phone,



brush his teeth,



and get into my makeup bag (or anything else he's not supposed to be digging in!).

If You're Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands!

Jackson is happy. Are you happy? He hopes you are all clapping your hands this week!

Jackson is 10 Months Old!

I had to share just a few more pictures of Jackson this week since I've fallen so far behind in e-mailing! We took his 10 month picture the other day with his teddy bear to show how much he has grown. It's getting harder and harder to get this little guy to sit still next to that teddy bear.

He eats real food now and finds it very exciting!

And one of his favorite pastimes is chewing on his toes.

And for Bobbi, here he is stylin' in his new overalls. Hope you enjoy!

I'm baaaaaaaack!

It's been awhile since I've put a post here but I've got a wonderful new subject that I need to show off so here goes! From now on I'll be using this blog mostly to update our out of town family on Jackson's day to day life so here goes! He's already 10 months old and such a big boy! He smiles and jabbers and gets more personality everyday. Here's a couple of video clips of his favorite tricks!
