Outside Fun July 2011

Jackson often helps Justin do yard work. We recently purchased a whole package of lawn tools which we are giving to Jackson as rewards aka surprises. We use sticker charts often to work on sleep and happy mornings.

His first lawn tool is a weed eater aka weed beater

Also it has been so HOT here in Kansas! So we have been playing in the sprinkler a bit. Of course Jackson wants us to play with him... I didn't mind. The little things you get to do as a Mom are the best.

First Trip to the movies!

Over the 4th of July hot weekend we decided to take Jackson to his first movie! We choose Cars 2- gotta love Mater and Lightening McQueen. Jackson did pretty good but with all the previews it was a long time to seat in the theater.... We didn't make it all the way to the end! It was a fun "first" for sure.

Projects

One of Jackson's favorite things to do is work on projects with Justin. Normally whenever there is a house project we just make sure Jackson has the same tools and he is great to help.

Lately we have been working on updating some fixtures in our home- little projects but fun to Jackson. He loves to be with Justin and follows everything he does.

Funny Things Jackson Says

I just want to document a few funny things this guy says.

Jumpoline= trampoline

Mess me up Dad = wrestle with me

Weebeater = weed eater (He uses a snow brush for the car as a weed eater)

Jackson what do you want when you get bigger?
"I want a truck with a trailer and a standing mow mow"
"With 5 standing mow mows, a riding mow mow and a ramp"

"Is that enough" He will say this several times when we leave or he goes to bed.

Skateboard Competition

For an early Father's Day gift I took Justin and Jackson to a professional skateboard competition. It was so much fun. We all loved watching the tricks and Jackson especially loved cheering with the crowd!

1st Royals Baseball Game

We took our first family trip to Kauffman Stadium on Memorial Day. My company has awesome season tickets that I can get from time to time. We had so much fun! We spent some time out in "the little K" which is a mini baseball field, rode the carosel and also ate lots of yummy food.

Jackson did so great and really loved it!
