Messy House but Happy Babies!


Every time we have Charlotte and Jackson together our house turns into a big toybox! This is what happened to my kitchen last night when Charlotte was over!

Charlotte looks cute as usual in her romper courtesy of Aunt B! She loves the kitty, but the kitty has learned that the gate is great when babies are in hot pursuit!


Cool Dude




Jackson doesn't know what to think of his sunglasses. He likes them for a few minutes and then takes them off. If only he knew how cute he looks in them!!

Weekend Adventures

Our little toehead loves to mow the yard like his daddy!




Jackson doesn't do anything without opening his mouth!

We stripped him down last night and let him make a mess with spaghetti. He was a hungry boy so he didn't get as dirty as we thought since he was so busy eating!

Trolling at the Pool

Jackson's babysitter is a swim teacher so he gets to go to the pool all the time. He can already put his face in the water and blow bubbles. As you can see from this picture, he is also quite the hit with the ladies at the pool!

Sunday at the Pool

On Sunday we went to the neighborhood pool with Jamie and Charlotte. This year Jackson is big enough to walk around in the kiddie pool and play.

It's time to get rid of that farmer's tan!


Charlotte loved floating!




Charlotte was very intrigued by Jackson's belly button on the wagon ride home. Both kids were so worn out from the pool that they slept the rest of the afternoon!

One Pound Cheeseburger


We went to Bub's in Carmel on Saturday night. Grandpa Jack and Tyler ordered a 1 pound hamburger (that's one pound AFTER it is cooked). If you eat the whole thing you get your picture on the wall.... Grandpa Jack couldn't eat the whole burger, but daddy did (plus a couple of Budweisers) so he and Jackson are forever on the wall at Bub's. Grandpa Jack will have to train a little bit more and try it again next time.




Watering Mommy's flowers

Jackson tried to help water the flowers on Friday night. Our camera was full so it didn't catch him turning the hose on himself a few seconds later :)

Tall Boy!!

Jackson went for his 16 month checkup at the doctor's office this week. We still have a big boy on our hands! He is almost 28 pounds which puts him in the 90th percentile and 34 3/4 inches long which is OFF THE CHARTS for his age! The doctor said he is as tall as an average 24 month old. A very healthy and active little boy!!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Jackson and Daddy made dinner for me last night since it was my birthday. Then Josh, Amanda, Jamie, Charlotte, and Betsy came over for dinner and ice cream cake!

Jackson Loves the Campground

We went camping for the first time this season over the long weekend. Jackson had a blast! He played hard which made for a very tired boy at the end of the day.


He loved popsicles! (What kid doesn't?)....

He came by to check out Jonah and Jill between activities...


He went on walks and saw the horses at the back of the campground with his idol, Aiden....


He sat (not for long) with dad in the lawn chair....


Most of all he loved playing in the dirt with Aiden, Leyton, and Cohen....which made for a very DIRTY boy at the end of the day!!









He also figured out how to drive Paige's beetle car. Daddy had to steer for him....


We also went on a pontoon ride with Jeremy and Jill. Don't worry Jackson has a life jacket, but it is still in the boat in storage so this orange one had to suffice. Needless to say, he was not a big fan of it.

Little Dipper

Jackson loves to dip his food in pretty much anything....evidentally ketchup or ranch sauce goes good with just about everything. We went to Wendy's the other night and he dipped every bite in ketchup (except his tomato) while he waved at every car that went past the window from the drive through.

Charlotte is Walking!

Charlotte has started to take a few steps on her own!! She has also started sticking up for herself when Jackson picks on her.....Good Job Charlotte!

Uncle Josh's Wedding

Uncle Josh got married this weekend. Jackson was a ringbearer and Charlotte was a flower girl in the wedding. We were all very suprised when Jackson walked down the aisle like a pro! We got to see a lot of family and friends and had a great time.
Congrats to Amanda and Josh!
Goldfish kept Charlotte occupied while we waited for the ceremony to start.


































Charlotte and Jackson came for the dinner and a few dances, but then left with Grandma and Grandpa Blevins to get them to bed. Then it was party time for mommy and daddy!!

















Weekend at Nana's

We went to Bluffton on Thursday night to prepare for the wedding. Jackson loves his books. He doesn't sit still very often, but a book does the trick for a few minutes at least.


Wagon Ride


Charlotte got a wagon for her birthday so we decided to take the babies on a ride around Jamie's neighborhood. They liked it, but got tired towards the end.

Happy Birthday Charlotte!

It was Charlotte's first birthday on Saturday, but we celebrated with a party on Sunday. She loved her cupcake and everyone had a great time!

















Jackson has 4 molars coming in right now (OUCH!) so we premedicated the little boy and headed to the party!

Birthday Tubbers

Jackson and Charlotte took a tubbers together on Saturday night. We haven't gotten them in the tubbers together since we moved out so they had a blast! It was Charlotte's birthday so we sang and played.


Moving crew

Here are some random pictures from last weekend. Charlotte is very close to walking on her own. She likes to walk behind anything that will move. Until she starts to walk, nothing is safe from being moved around the house including the kitchen chairs and this magazine rack.



Messy Eater!

Jackson was sick last week, which is why I didn't get around to adding pictures to the blog. Sorry to all my viewers...especially Aunt Betsy and Grandpa Jack who told me how disappointed they were! Here is what I came home to the other night when daddy made Jackson's dinner!


Here Kitty Kitty!


Jackson loves his kitty! Everyone else thinks Chloe is a spawn of satan, but Jack loves her and she is very good to him.
