San Diego Vacation!

Getting your toes wet for the first time at the beach.
That was a big wave! You loved it.
Having some goldfish on the bay side with Pops.
Just hanging out with the boys.

This summer we were so lucky to get to go on vacation. Last summer Mommy spent in bed and Daddy spent it on crutches! Sadly Daddy had to work this summer but Lukers and Mommy got to run away to San Diego for four days. We had such a great time! All five of the Jacksons were there, Tom and Carole Minor and even Nick! The house was always full of boys! We went on several walks, an afternoon at the beach and one at the bay, a night at Belmont Park and lots of napping and hanging out. Luke you were a great boy on the plane. Flying over we had the whole row to ourselves! You enjoyed looking out the window, eating Cheerios and reading books. On the way home we had a full flight and you did great again! You only threw a few Cheerios and even fell asleep!

First Haircut!

VROOM off we go!

Today we decided that is was about time to trim up those sideburns and get rid of what was starting to look a little too much like a mullet! We waited until Daddy got home from work and headed over to Desert Ridge for your very first haircut. Mommy was a little nervous that you would end up looking like you just had your first hair cut and you wouldn't look like my little baby anymore. But you did great and the hairdresser listened and it turned out just how I wanted! You sat so still while she tickled your neck with the scissors and even danced a little to the background music. What a fun way to end our day.

Sitting like such a big boy!

All done! How handsome you look!

Getting into trouble!

Wash me next!
What? I didn't mean to turn the computer screen sideways!
Don't all trouble makers have mohawks?

Sniff Sniff Cough Cough

Even when you are sick you are a happy baby! The whole house has been sick now for what feels like forever and you seem to be taking it the best. You've been having trouble sleeping with all the coughing but once you finally get to sleep you'll sleep for 12+ hours! Your toothy grin is getting cuter and cuter with the addition of your now TWO front teeth! You'll be eating apples before we know it!

Maggie the kissing queen

Look out Luke! Maggie is swooping in for a kiss!

Friends

We were so lucky to have shared our day with such good friends. Today Ambrey and Olivia came over to play. You both are getting so big so fast. I can just picture you both in a few years running around the yard playing tag or swimming in the summer. I know we will always be close friends no matter how many miles separate us.
