My Baby Boy is Four!!!!!

I guess my goal is now to do a post every month :) We just get so busy, this thing is hard to keep up with! Over the last month, the kids started school, our friends Amanda and Chase got married and the most important- Jackson turned four years old today!!!



We will start with Amanda and Chase's wedding, it was in Mount Pleasant, Texas-about 3 hours away from us. It is really nice having so many people around us who are so good to the kids and watch them when we have things like this to go to. We really appreciate all of you!! Love you!! Scott and I had a really good time, and it was so fun to be with our good high school and college friends during such a special time. Amanda and Chase are so cute together and seemed so calm and happy at the wedding. Congrats you guys, we love you!!! The Bride and her Daddy

Oh no, the dancing begins

The kids started school at the beginning of September and they love it!! Jackson asks almost everyday if he can go to school :) Leah's teacher says she is such a good girl at school and always such a helper. Jackson carries his lessons home from school, the other day I was driving and he asked me "Did you stop all the way at that stop sign, mom?" We might have a little cop like my Uncle John on our hands...

Leah wasn't really cooperating with the pics on the first day of school

Me and the kids, Jackson didn't want Mommy and Daddy to go to dinner, Leah didn't seem to mind
Looking like my "mini-me"

Krista and I were watching the seaon premiere of Grey's Anatomy, I guess the kids were wanting some attention, b/c they ran out from Jackson's room dressed up like this on their own. SOOO cute!!

Best buddies!
Crazy kids
Leah loves when mommy paints her nails!! Such a girly-girl

Weekend day at the park


Uncle Jason and Leah, she loves that guy. Cute smile, huh? She's such a cheese


Aunt Megan came home for Jackson's birthday, the kids love when she comes home!!!
I decided to "save money" and make Jackson's birthday cake this year. It ended up costing me $47 in supplies, so I don't know how much it saved me, but I loved doing the cake!! I was so proud, this is the first cake I have ever done!! The railroad crossing signs are cupcakes I made, too :)



The Ludlow cousins, Carly couldn't be there b/c she had a soccer game :(

GattiTown Train, Jackson's favorite part
One night, while making dinner, I heard Scott and the kids playing in Leah's room, I found Scott playing "kitchen" with the kids. It was so sweet to see him sitting at her kitchen table, sipping tea from her tea set. He is the BEST daddy!!


I hope that chair doesn't break ;)
