Mother's Day 2011

Where to even begin. I really do try to update the blog more but life just gets in the way. Let's start with Mother's Day weekend. Matt finished a sprint triathlon and we are very proud of him! GO DADDY! Now every time we pass the park where the finish line is Haley informs us that's where daddy ran his race. Jackson was proud of daddy on the bike. Of course bike is one of his favorite words these days, along with ball, balloon, bottle, baby, anything that starts with a "b"!
Mother's Day was awesome, best one yet. I have so much to be thankful for and feel very blessed to have my two beautiful, healthy kids and wonder husband. I was treated to breakfast made by Daddy, followed by church and then an afternoon at Grandma's capped off with steak dinner! YUM YUM. I got a certificate for a full day at the spa from the kids. Can't wait to cash that in! But the best present of all was the hand print bouquet by Haley and the fingerprint heart by Jackson. I love my babies :)
Other then those two big events a couple of weeks ago, life is just life. Here are a few memorable stories from the past weeks.
Sibling love:
Haley and I were on the way to the mall while Jackson and Matt were going to Little Gym. A song comes on and Haley says, "I miss my brother. This is Jackson's favorite song". Oh how I love to hear that!
Getting old:
Haley asked me how old I was. I told her and her response, "Oh my goodness!!!" Really?? She cracks me up.
Everyday sayings:
Jackson is trying so hard to talk and really mimic what you say. We have a ball handing from a string in the garage so I don't pull forward too far. Everyday we boop the ball it with the car while pulling in and now he says "boop ball" once we touch it.
Little fish:
Jackson amazed us with his swimming ability. He is going to be just like Haley! He was swimming from one side of the spa to the next the other week out of the blue. He still has a long way to go but this guy is a fish. They obviously get that from Daddy.
And now the recap in pictures...

What are you looking at Daddy? Yes, this is goooood!
Yum Yum Yum. And as Jackson says, "that's good".
