kanki

Last week we took Jackson and Nash to Kanki.  Jackson loved it almost as much as his mom and dad. We used to go on dates here almost every other week in college. Helllooo freshman fifteen. Tonight Charlie told Jackson to come inside for dinner.  He hollered back, OK let's go to Kanki!  It was hard to say no...

surprise!

Happy Happy 25th Birthday to Grandaddy!!  We 'surprised' him with a big ol' party this weekend packed with his favorites; family, friends, subs, hot dogs, drinks and deviled eggs.  As you can see these 3 grand kids waited patiently for the best part of the night, cake!

field trip

Tat-Tat and Nat-Nat (The Babysitters Club) took Jackson and Nash to Fort Fisher Aquarium this past Sunday.  They had a blast, Jackson even touched the huge snack.  I have repeatedly reminded him when he sees a snake in our backyard he does not touch it and comes to tell me!  Then I will kill it.  Yep, sorry all you animal lovers, I don't do snakes, any kind of snakes.  

The albino alligator, Jackson was the least weirded out.

I love Nat-Nat! She lives in Wilmintooon.  Let's ride on the dinosaur train to Wilmintooon to see Nat!

Looks like Nash is having a blast...??! (And he is as big as Tat-Tat)

Saturday morning

We don't do Saturday morning cartoons around here, we do books!  Jackson is getting pretty good with   his 'reading' skills if I do say so myself.  Where the Wild Things Are is his current favorite.  Oh and I was totally kidding about the cartoons thing.  He just watched one hour of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and when I turned it off you would have thought I had chopped his foot off.

boys will be boys?

Have y'all seen this blog, Reasons my son is crying?  It is hilarious and just the smile I need every now and then.  I could totally make one for Nash, sorry bud the truth hurts sometimes.  I want to start a blog called, Where is my son peeing? I could post up all the random places that Jackson feels the need to pull it out, find the nearest tree, and let it go.  This freedom won't last for long, so yes, I let him do it, and yes I take pictures with my phone. 

Any guesses of where we are?

morning routine

Nash wakes up ready to go in the morning.  Right when we gets downstairs he points to the freezer because he wants a fruit bar (ok, popsicle) but instead he gets a waffle or oatmeal and takes it down.  After that he goes to the pantry to let me know it is time to get Greta's food, this might be his favorite part of the day...



Jackson on the other hand is a little more slow moving like his mom.  He usually comes in my bed to snuggle for a few and then wants to 'pleassseeee watch ONE show mom?'  He has to have breakfast first and has learned that he can suck down a fruit & veggie squeeze in about 10 seconds and then get on with his show.  No pictures of video of him this morning.  He likes to do all of this in the nude.  Lets be serious though, who doesn't?!

Monday

How about a box of cheese to start your morning off on the right foot.

Nash-a-roo-ski

Nash has it all figured out.  He knows 4 words and has a mean pterodactyl scream. With that he gets whatever he wants in life.  MAAAMM-MAAAMMM is his main form of communication.  This means to pick him up immediately and carry him around to whatever he points to.  Do not even think about putting him down (insert pterodactyl scream) until he addresses you to do so.  Uh-Oh is also high on the list.  This means he has thrown something on the floor and wants you to pick it up immediately.  WorrWorl is his other word, I know I should be embarrassed, but I think it is hilarious.  Along with his bestest bud Jackson, he loves the TV show Word World.  He dances to the theme music and then stands as close to the TV as physically possible for a good 5 minutes.  To only be 13 months old, I feel this is a pretty good attention span.  And I have perfected cleaning out the dishwasher in those 5 minutes.  Last but not lease is Geettaa.  His beloved dog treat sharer and fellow toilet water lover.  My little man is making me proud!

His new facial expression.  He has been squinting his nose and giving the stink eye to anyone who looks his way for the past week.  Except for me, I get open mouth slobber cheese breath kisses, love them and him!
