Here is a quick video of Jackson's first birthday. Enjoy.

Hi Everyone, today is Jackson's 1st birthday!!!!! I cannot believe he is 1. This year has gone by so incredibly fast for us, John and I just cannot believe what an incredible year we have had with Jackson, so much has happened. I found myself watching the clock today, waiting for 1:30pm to come, the time Jackson arrived into the world. Its crazy how vividly you remember things so clearly from such a long time ago. We had Jackson's party this past Saturday and he had an amazing time and so much fun!!!!!! We hope you enjoy the pictures. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACKSON!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi everyone, today I am offically 1. Mom says I am no longer a baby but that I am a big boy. I sure had a great party, mom and dad did a great job. Enjoy my pictures. First mom let me eat pizza, cheezies, and ice tea. She said it was my day and I could eat whatever I wanted and be in any mood I wanted. I chose to be in a happy mood, and boy thos

Well the countdown is officially on as I have 2 weeks left of my maternity leave. I would just like to say what an incredible year it has been for us. To spend time with Jackson throughout this year has been AMAZING, words really cannot explain. We have been busy this week transitioning Jackson into daycare, and it has gone exceptionally well!!!! I am so proud of Jackson and how well he is doing with this new change in his life. The daycare that he is at is very good, John and I were very pleased with what we had seen.As parents we just have peace of mind of where we are leaving him, the staff at the daycare are great. What a great place this will be for him to grow socially and learn so much, he will have tons of fun. I had the opportunity to spend the week with Jackson at daycare and slowly remove myself from him, once again he is doing well. Soon he will be there full days. He loves all the toys, the stroller rides, and of course his 3 new girlfriends, but shhhhhh don't

Happy Halloween everyone!!!! Jackson sure had a good time trick or treating. Although we had tons of snow, that didn't stop us. It actually was a nice evening and Jackson said he would share his candy with us. I cannot wait until next year to dress Jackson him. We sure think he is the cutest lion ever. Well this picture was taken when we first got our costumes. Lauren is a bumble bee and I am a lion, mom got a really good deal on my costume. It is very warm. I love it. Look at all my candy!!!!! I even got bath toys from daddy's friend Nigel. I think it is a great gift. I think I'll give these chips I got to mommy. Look at all my loot!!!! What a variety I got, chocolate bars, suckers, fruit, goldfish!!!!! Yum Yum, I love Halloween. I really love my nose, mom used brown washable marker on it. It came right off at the end of the night, thank goodness!!!! Look at this huge pumpkin dad bought, I love it. Mom says I can help carve the pumpkin next year. Dad mad this scar

Hi Everyone, well we kept very busy for the month of October. Jackson and I were in Minot, North Dakota, helping my sister out who had her second baby, a boy. I was there to help her out because she had a c-section. We had a lot of fun and Jackson and his cousin Lauren became great buds over the past 3 weeks. We will post more pics of halloween Here is Lauren and I with Grandpa Herman. He came down with Grandma, they are taking the train to D.C. to see Aunt Darla. Here we are at the train station, Grandma Herman thinks I should come along in this suitcase but I don't think I will. Mom, for Christmas I would like all the items on page 212, 214, 215, 230, and yes please throw in the XBOX 360!!! We kept telling Riker it was going to be ok, but he just wouldn't listen to us. Lauren and I have become good buds, I cannot wait until we're older and we get to run off the dock at the cottage and jump into the lake!!!

Last weekend my cousin Kris and I went out to the lake to help d ad build the sub-floor for the new guest cottage. The Friday before we left I had some time so I mowed my lawn. It was a bit cold out but I was only in a fleece. Definitely fall weather. Kris and I left th e city by about 6 pm. About 30 min out of town we were in a full blizzard. It was snowin g so hard you couldn't see very far out the windshield. Not the kind of weather you want to build a guest cottage in and I think we were both starting to wonder what we'd signed up for. We got to the cottage by about 9pm and there was a few inches of snow everywhere. This was winter. As we got to our doc the slanted transition piece was so slippery that you needed to use a rope to walk up it. Before we went to bed mom and dad told us how miserable the weather's been the last few days. Not very encouraging stuff. The next morning at least the sun was up but there was snow everywhere and all our lumber was
