A Day of 1sts for Jackson!!! First Time Rollerskating and he lost his 1st tooth!!

Last saturday was a BIG day for Jackson which meant it was a big day for Ryan and I too!!!  First I took Jackson to a rollerskating party for a friend of his from school and it was his 1st time ever on skates!!  It was slightly difficult at first since Jackson didn't know how to skate and I was trying to remember myself to teach him but then we got the cart to help him and he was all good!!  He had a blast skating and playing with all the games!!  I thought about trying to skate with him but decided it wasn't a good idea and I didn't need any broken bones!!  By the end he had gotten the hang of it so I am pretty sure Jackson will be a pro at skating in no time!!  

Love this picture!!

Having fun!

Skating with Olaf!

Getting the hang of it!

Really going now!

THEN the big event happened!!  Jackson lost his 1st TOOTH!!  He was SO excited!!  It had been loose for a few weeks but as I was trying to get ready for Ryan and I's date night I heard Jackson scream and run into my room with a mouth full of blood!!  Come to find out while playing Addison knocked him in the mouth and the tooth came flying out!!  I of course freaked out and screamed I dont like blood or teeth and ran outside to get Ryan just as Otie opened the front door! Otie came to the rescue and all was right in the world again!!!  Jackson put the tooth in his tooth pillow and the tooth fairy came and left him $5!! He was so excited to tell us!!  I keep looking at him and he seems like a much bigger boy now with a gaping hole in his mouth!!!  I mean I remember losing my teeth and I just can't believe his is big enough for that!  Again insert tear!  Time needs to slow down! Enjoy the pictures of our toothless boy!!

Tooth is gone!

His new smile with no tooth!

Looks like a big boy!

The baby tooth!

He put it in his tooth pillow!

Jackson's Field Trip to Mosi Science Museum!

Last Friday was the 1st Grade field trip to the Mosi science museum and I was a chaperone!  It was such a great field trip however it was slightly stressful as I had to keep watch over 3 children including Jackson!  Needless to say I was wiped when I got home!!  But Jackson had a blast running around with all his friends and exploring the museum and that's all that matters!!!  We went in a simulated tornado exhibit, an earthquake exhibit which was crazy and a wildfire exhibit!!  The kids thought that was pretty cool and I am not going to lie I did too!!  Then there was a kids in charge section for the kids to test out different cool science activities one of which consisted of Jackson laying on a bed on nails.  That definitely freaked him out!  It was so fun spending the day with Jackson we had a great time together!!!  I just love being able to go on fun field trips with my little guy!!  Because I know one day (insert tears!) he wont want me to go on field trips anymore so for right now I am just enjoying the ride!!!

Sea World!

Last Monday we were all off for MLK Day and by all of us I mean Ryan too yippeeeeeeee!!  So we decided to have a family day at Sea World!!  Jackson said it was the best day ever and I agreed it was pretty awesome!!!  We had so much fun exploring the park together since Ryan and I hadn't been since we were probably Jackson's age we figured out and of course Jackson and Addison had never been there so it was a new adventure for all of us!!  We went in the turtle trek, the shark exhibit and visited the wild artic!! It was so fun seeing all the different animals Sea World has to offer!!  Jackson and Addison were just loving it all and little Addison kept asking to see more animals and more animals!  Then we went to the Shamu show and the Dolphin show too which were absolutely amazing!!  I am not sure who liked it more me or them!!  Addison didnt say a word she was so intrigued and Jackson loved it but I think he enjoyed the popcorn and cotton candy more!!  And Addison is still talking about the Dolphins jumping!!  We will definitely be going back to Sea World soon as it was a wonderful time had by all!!! Enjoy our pictures from our fun time at Sea World!!

These two had a blast!

Touchdown Saturday!!

Last Saturday at flag football Jackson scored a touchdown!  Yay!! The first for this winter season!! It was awesome and it was almost the whole length of the field!!!  Addison cheered Jackson on the whole time yelling "Run Yaya Run!!!  We are so proud of you Jackson!!!  Keep up the good work!!  

After the touchdown because of course I didnt have my camera ready for the actual play!

Then we just enjoyed a nice relaxing Saturday which consisted of Jackson and Addison driving around the neighborhood together in the Escalade!! It was the cutest thing they both hopped in there together, turned up the tunes and headed out for a drive as I ran behind them yelling at Jackson the hole time to pay attention! lol!!  It made me fast forward to 10 years from now and I panicked!!  Time needs to slow down I am NO WHERE NEAR READY FOR THAT!!!  Good times mean good pictures!! Enjoy!!!
