Jackson is THREE!

Current Stats:
Weight: 36 lbs (87th percentile)
Height: 40 inches (90th percentile)

I can't believe my little boy is three years old! I had great intentions of writing some really sweet post on his actual birthday, but I obviously failed. I am so thankful to have Jackson as my little boy. It is truly a blessing to be his mom. I think I am pretty spoiled by how good he is. In keeping with tradition I am just going to make a list of things about this cute boy.

*He talks non-stop! He may or may not get that from his mom :)
*He loves to sing and knows the words to a lot of songs
*He loves to play with friends. No matter where we are he makes friends, although he is pretty reserved with adults.
*He adores his aunts! Kaitlin, Kellsi, and Sam are about as good as it gets for him
*I am not sure if I have ever mentioned it on the blog, but he has been potty trained since January which is fabulous!
*He loves to play with his daddy
*He thinks he is Batman and often corrects me if I call him anything else
*Mickey Mouse is still his favorite TV show
*He likes to count things and sing the ABCs (although he still doesn't know all of his letters-he is pretty stubborn and doesn't learn things when I want him too :)
*He is excited about having a baby brother. I am sure this will change once the baby is here, but he talks about the baby all the time right now.
*He is very curious and asks questions about everything all the time!
*He sleeps from around 9pm to 8am and still takes a 2-3hr nap every day
*He can be pretty dramatic when he is upset about something, but usually gets over it quickly
*He is a great eater. He will eat pretty much anything I give him. Luckily he loves his fruits and veggies!
*He knows all of his shapes including an "octergon" :)
*Some of my favorite things he says are, "Oh! I have a idea!", "Ummm, how 'bout tomorrow?", "I'm Batman!", "Hmmm, let me think.", "Should we just __________ or someting?", "That is making me crazy mommy!" (Those are what I can think of at the moment, but he keeps me laughing all day with the things he comes up with :)
*He loves Rock-N-Roll. He requests it every time we are in the car. And the way he says it is so cute
*He has a great imagination. He makes up little scenarios all the time and has all different characters.
*He loves to play with toys. He literally plays all day long!

I guess that list will do! I could go on and on about him. He has such a personality and reminds me of his dad a lot. I just can't believe how quickly the last three years have gone! I will end with his three year photo shoot. He was terrible! He hates having his picture taken and would not smile for anything. Oh well, I still think he is pretty handsome :)
























Utah State Fair

Also in September, we joined Brandon, Carrie, and kids for some fun at the fair. It was a lot of fun! Jackson loved seeing all of the animals and really loved petting the rabbits. Jackson and Amelia got to ride a little roller coaster and Jackson thought that was the coolest. I was surprised my cautious little boy dared ride it! We also saw seals and kangaroos in addition to the normal farm animals. It was a great time and I love going to the fair every year!

Jackson eating his corn dog-very fair appropriate I think :)

There was loud music playing and Jackson started a dance party with Amelia and Asher. They were  really rockin'! It was too cute!

Labor Day

I am almost two months behind on updating! For Labor Day, we spent the weekend in Nephi and Delta. We had a great time as always. I went a couple of days before Alex. I got to have a fun crafting day with Mandee and Avalon. We had the best time and made some cute crafts! Friday we went to the Delta football game and watched my cute cousin Kellie cheer. After the game Alex and I got to go on a mini date to the movie! We saw Captain America and really liked it! It was fun to get away for a bit, just the two of us. Saturday was my mom's birthday and we went boating at the Res. It was so much fun! The weather was perfect and we just had the best time. Sunday we went to church and then played some tennis and Monday the girls went shopping. It was a great weekend! I love having entire weekends to just enjoy being with family! And Happy birthday to my mom and Jordan who both had birthdays that weekend!
