Down on the Farm

Hey everyone! So we just got back from Jay Scotts wedding this weekend and it was amazing. You know how there are those brides that just look like they belong on the cover of a high fashion mag?? Well, Merideth was definitely that bride. She was beautiful, and they had a beautiful outdoor wedding. I would have taken some amazing pictures if Myles and I weren't dying from the heat! He was in his black tux and was extreamly hot! Anyway, for those of you who know Jay Scott I know you are all excited for him!

I have been at my parents house since right after the wedding and we have been having so much fun! My parents are both retired but have about 176 acres of land that work. They have cows and a huge garden that we all try to help with so we can enjoy the harvest! Jackson loves to be out there and ride on the tractor with my dad and pet the cows. (Yes they do know us and come up to us for a little head scratchin' now and then!) It is so awesome to watch him have so much fun. Whenever he comes here it seems like his vocabulary skyrockets, and he is learning so many new things! We are missing Myles though, and Jackson is asking for him multiple times a day!
Hope you are all having a great week!

Hi again. So...I have figured out that I am not a very good blogger. I don't post very often and I seem to lack an abounding knowledge of how to keep my blog up to date and fun. Hopefully things will get better as I post longer. Some of the girls and I are having a play date tomorrow! I always love getting together with other moms and friends! It is so good to get all the kids together too! Jackson loves to have his "friends" over. We had Ryan, Kira, Cami and her boys over for dinner Tuesday. (Micah was out of town for a camp) We were also keeping our neighbors little boy, so needless to say the house was crazy chaos! I loved every minute of it! At one point every single toy was out of the neat little bins and all over the floor in Jacksons' room! They were running though the house "powing" each other with balloons and squealing with delight! It is times like those that I really want a big family an lots of kiddos running around...then the times that I have to take care of the aftermath...I am so glad that we just have our sweet little Jackson! I am sure the Lord will make it clear at some point how many children He would have for us to take care of! I would love to post some pictures of Tuesday night, but we were having so much fun and there was so much going on that I forgot to take any!! So sad, but I know we will have some other fun times...especially now that it is summer!

We will be going to Jay Scott's wedding this weekend, and Myles will be going to Florida for some training all next week. Then, he has some more training in San Antonio that next week, but Jackson and I are going with him. We are going to take him to Sea World while we are there!! I am so excited about that! Hopefully I will have some really good pictures when we get back. I hope you guys will be praying for us as we travel and for Myles and I as we are apart. I don't like to be away from him for long.

Hey friends, we have had a fun week. Jackson and I have been swimming a lot in our pool in the backyard. He is loving it, and we can be outside without burning up in the hot son! I am putting some of those pictures up tonight! Myles and I took Jackson to the pool this afternoon so he got to swim in his big floaty! He has been talking so much more these past few days.The other day he was pulling out the ottoman and climbing on top of it. After the first time he did I clapped and said " You did it!!" He clapped and squealed and repeated what I said "I did it!" He was so proud of himself, he did that for the next hour! I love seeing him grow and change every day. I have been taking tons of pictures lately because all too soon he will be out of this stage and on to the next. For all of you who have just had little ones, I hope that you take the time to treasure all the time you have with your little ones and your family. It all seems to change so quickly! Jackson just turned 17 months and it seems like just last week we found out we were going to have him.

We just got our passport pictures done yesterday for our trip to Mexico in August! So excited!! We both had to get new passports because I forgot to get my name changed on mine after we got married 4 years ago, and Myles had his done when he was 16.
I am playing tennis again tomorrow night and can't wait. It has been so much fun getting back into it again! I love it!

Crazy Sunset in San Angelo

Myles was walking out of work late tonight an saw this for a sunset. It was on his cameraphone, but still a heck of a view
