Tuesday is now Thursday...

We were supposed to be induced on Tuesday (tomorrow) but the hospital is super busy so it has now been moved to Thursday. My doctor said he would make it a required induction so I won't get bumped off again. So now it's an exciting Thursday unless this little guy comes sooner which I would be ok with. :)

Just the 3 of us...

We had a perfect night on Friday with just the 3 of us......one of the last times before we become 4. Jeremy, Jackson and I got some takeout from Hire's Big H and then took it over to Murray Park. It was so much fun to spend time with my two favorite boys. Jeremy and Jackson played some football and soccer while mom watched gazingly at her two boys have so much fun. We walked around, saw some ducks, and just enjoyed the time together. After murray park, we went and got a snoasis...such a perfect way to end a summer evening. Here are just a few pictures from our family date night.
Our future little quarterback practicing his moves. "Dad ready?" He just loves playing with his dad and couldn't be happier that he is outside.
Dad tickling Jackson with a piece of grass. Jackson loves dad to "git" him.

I'm so lucky to have these two boys in my life. Jackson is my sweet angel boy that lights up my face everytime I look at him. He talks sooooo much and amazes us everyday with new words and how he talks in full sentences. I wish I could freeze his little voice forever. Jeremy is such a great dad and husband. I'm so lucky to have him as my best friend through eternity. Thanks babe for such a fun night and for just being you.

I love my 2 boys, but I'm excited to love 3. Tuesday is the day our family becomes 4. We are so excited for this little guy to get here. I might be a little more excited than Jeremy and Jackson as some days I feel like I can hardly walk, but we are all excited for our family to grow.

Week of July 24th....just a little behind!

So I'm a little behind on my blogging getting ready for this baby #2, but I still wanted to post some pictures of our July 24th week up in midway. My mom and dad rented a house up in midway and most of my family were there......which meant utter chaos, but lots of fun! We had anywhere from 13 to 19 grandkids in the house (depending on the day who came and left) and around 10 adults. It was so fun to see all the cousins playing and having a blast. Jackson was in pure heaven with that many friends and cousins to play with. We went to Jordanelle lake 3 of the days and everyone but me did some wave-running. Jackson was a riot on the rocky beach. This little kid hates to be dirty and can't seem to walk more than 3 steps without sitting down because rocks would get into his crocs. Needless to say the next day my sister-in-law Jenni got him some water shoes which were a little better. He could walk around a little longer, but if they were dirty he would sit right down and say "ewww, ka-ka". He is definitely his mom's little boy as I hate being dirty as well. Here are some pictures from the lake....unfortunately those were the only times I pulled out my camera. :)

Grabbing at his water shoes because rocks had gotten in...

Waving to mom from the wave runner. He was very unsure of getting on. He also HATED the life jackets. This body-suit jacket was the only one we could get on him and that was only for about 10 minutes.

He didn't love the wave runner so dad brought him back and went on a ride by himself. He was very upset that dad left him. Don't ya love the tight bodysuit giving him huge muscles and showing off his skinny little legs. :)
Helping dad and grandpa clean up. This was day 3 at the beach and we were all sunned out.

Jackson turned 2 the weekend after this trip (July 27th) and we had a fun Thomas the Train family party for him. I still need to post pictures from it but my sister took the pictures so I haven't gotten them from her yet, but I'll post once I get them. I can't believe my little boy is 2 and I'm going to have baby #2 in about a week.

My angel boy...

I love my little angel boy so much. Nothing seems to make me happier than to see this little kid smile. Jackson is getting so big and is so much fun right now. Here are some pictures of him playing soccer and writing with chalk outside.

Saying "score" after he makes a goal. He now does this anytime he makes a goal, or basket with anything....including throwing socks in the laundry basket, washing machine, garbage, etc...
Just playing outside with mom and dad. Mom made him a train which we would yell "toot, toot" while running around it.

I'm so lucky to be Jacksons mom and so lucky to feel the love a mom has for a child. It is overwhelming to me some days how much I love him. I've been more goo-goo-gaga over Jackson lately with my pregnancy hormones, reading about people who have lost a child, and also with contemplating the birth of our next little boy. I logically know I'll love this next little boy as much, but it is hard to imagine. I am excited to feel this amount of love now x2.

Love summer...

I love summer in general, but this summer hasn't been the greatest as I have been 8/9 months pregnant and sweating everywhere I go. At least there are popsicles to make it easier! :) Jackson has to agree as he asks for one just about every day, "say cheese"...
