Tuesday Nights

Jackson and his girlfriend Emma. He is 3 1/2 months older than her. Look at him cheezin' it for the camera!Ever since I met Seth (over three years ago), Tuesday night basketball has been a part of our weekly routine. Seth gets together with his brother and some friends for some "friendly" basketball at the church while the wives camp out on the stage and chat, play cards, and more recently, entertain our children. It's kind of funny to think back over the years of Tuesday night basketball...at first, we were coming as girlfriends supporting our players, then we became fiance's, now as wives, we have become friends and hardly even pay attention to the games anymore. A few of us have babies now, and we often joke about coming down to the church on Tuesday nights with our school age children because our husbands will still be wanting to play basketball with each other!

Here is some video of the REAL entertainment during the games:

New Tricks!

Jackson is getting so STRONG! He sits on his own now for such a long time and he has started reaching for whatever he can see around him (As shown on the video!). He's turning into quite the little handful, but it's so fun to see him figure out new things. I just can't believe he's almost 7 months!

Korea!!

On Friday night, my brother Brian opened his mission call! He is called to serve in the Korea, Seoul West mission! Yay! He reports to the MTC May 7th. So awesome! We are really excited for him and Seth is really looking forward to having someone to speak Korean with and eat yummy Korean food with (besides me:)! Congratulations Brian! We are really proud of you!

LOST

Last night was the Season Premiere of Lost!! Unfortunately I didn't get to watch it because I went with Seth to PG to play basketball (I know, lame). Anyway, I didn't want to watch the two-hour season premiere all by myself, so Seth promised we could watch it online tonight! I just can't wait to find out what happens. Lost is probably one of my all time favorite shows. It is so well written and I have never been able to predict what will happen next! It definitely keeps you on your toes!

Handsome Boy!

Well, there really is not a specific point for this post, I just wanted to post these pictures of my boy because he is such a little doll! I don't know if you can tell, but his jammies say I love Mom and I love Dad all over them. The story behind the jammies is I wanted to buy Jackson some Valentines jammies-I saw some at baby Gap, but those were way expensive, so I went to Target and they only had Valentines jammies for GIRLS! Lame. Then I saw these and figured they would have to do.

Mmmmmmm.....

Jackson loves to eat! ( I wonder where he got that from :) He's learned to open his mouth so wide to take a bite and then he goes MMMMMM! It's really funny! He eats three square meals a day now usually consisting of squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, pears, peaches, or the occasional serving of prunes (yuck!). He devours every bite. And the best part is he takes nice long naps with a full belly!
