Las Vegas! (Part One)

During the last weekend of July, Kent and I went to Las Vegas with some of our besties, Brady and Alex!!  We stayed at the Planet Hollywood hotel and had a BLAST!  We walked "The Strip" to see the other hotels, ate at amazing restaurants, laid by the pool, gambled, and just had an awesome get-a-way!!

Dinner at STK Cosmopolitan (where we saw Cuba Gooding Jr.)

While we were in Vegas, my sweet parents, Ome', and Don watched Jackson in Belton!  I think it's safe to say that everyone had a GREAT time!!  Thank you sooo much for watching our precious baby!!

 Doing a little shopping! :)

 Lots of play time!

Yummy meals!!

Now…on to Part Two of our Vegas Vacation!!

10 Months Old!

I know I say this all the time, but I can't believe it…Jackson is 10 months old!!  Woohoo!!  At 10 months old, Jackson is really starting to move more and more!  His balance while standing up and not holding on to anything is getting really good and he's taking a lot more steps!  I think it's pretty safe to say that he'll be full on walking before he's a year old! :)  Also, he's getting very talkative…still usually just says "Dada," but he babbles and squeals all day long!  I love getting to see his little personality come out more and more each day!  He loves reading books, swinging his golf clubs, and singing songs with me!  Jackson is still the sweetest, happiest boy I know!!  We are so blessed!!  Love you sweet baby! :)   

I literally could only snap 2 pictures because he's so wiggly!!  Haha!!  Here's to more fun! :)

Wedding Weekend!

Last weekend, we headed to Dallas, because my cousin, Lesley, got married!!  The weekend was full of wedding activity, but we still had some time for family fun!  First stop was Bass Pro Shop in Grapevine, so that Jackson could see some fish!    

 Kent, Jackson, & the fish…

Kent found this adorable hat and after he put it on Jackson's head, Jackson would not let us take it off!  Haha!! :)

Then, we got cleaned up and headed to the Las Colinas Country Club for Lesley & Tyler's beautiful wedding!  The ceremony was held out on the golf course and the reception was in one of their lovely ballrooms!  We had so much fun!! 

 Jackson dressed up for the occasion!

Congratulations Lesley & Tyler!  We love you both!  Thanks for a great weekend…can't wait to see everyone again soon! :)

Fourth of July & Our 6th Wedding Anniversary!

This was Jackson's first, July 4th!  We celebrated with good food, family, and fireworks (well…on tv)! Haha!! :)  Kent's parents came in town and we also got to see Scott, Kristen, Meghan, and Kate!  We had a blast!!  We love this holiday! :)

 Wearing our Red, White, and Blue!!

 Jackson & Grandmommy

Since Grandommy was in town,  she so kindly offered to watch Jackson while Kent and I went to dinner to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary!  Kent planned a delicious dinner at Perry's Steakhouse!  The food was absolutely delicious and we had a wonderful night out!  Love you Kent…here's to many, many more!! :)    

Fun with Nana & Grandmommy!!

During the first weeks of July, Nana and Grandmommy came to Montgomery to watch Jackson while I finished teaching Summer School!!  I think it's safe to say that Jackson received plenty of attention, but I think Grandmommy and Nana had a little fun too! :)  Thank you BOTH for all of your help…we couldn't have done it without you!!  Love y'all so much!!

 Jackson playing in his awesome, new pool from Grandmommy!!

Thank y'all sooo much!!  :)

Cooper's 5th Birthday Party!

This past Saturday, Kent, Jackson, and I went to cousin, Cooper's 5th Birthday Party!  It was a cammo/"water war" theme and Kelly had everything decorated perfectly…she is such an amazing party planner!  The food was delicious and there was so much for the kiddos to do outside…slip 'n slide, swim, throw water balloons, target practice, etc.!  Thanks guys for the invitation…we had a BLAST!!      

 Water gun and gear table

Yummy treats!

 Yes…that's an American Flag made out of fruit…told you she was good! :)

 Jackson taking it all in!  Haha!

 Birthday Boy Cooper…I think Jackson was eyeing his water gun!!

Happy Birthday Cooper!  We hope you had a terrific day!!

Last Day of "School!"

Jackson just finished his last day of day care at First Presbyterian Church of Bryan.  The Children's Center has been such a wonderful place for Jackson!  He met his very first "best friends," learned to crawl, stand up, and play with others.  Jackson's teachers, Miss Judy, Beth, and Kayla, were the very best!  Also, the directors, Whitney and Casey, were sooo amazing!  I never worried about leaving Jackson at day care…they provided such a safe and happy place for my baby!  Thank you to everyone at FPCC…we love and miss you already!!
