Code Red.....Emergency......Paging Dr. Akins

I came upstairs to "Mama I fixing Baybay's boo boo. I need a bandaid."
Check out the tools of choice (hammer, pliers and saw)

I have come to these conclusions:
1- I guess Bailey has a broke leg.
2- Maybe we have a career in Vet Medicine or Orthopedic Surgery.
3- I don't want Jackson to be my Doctor.
4- The gun in the background....let's hope the surgery works Bailey or you are a goner girl
5 -Notice Harley is nowhere to be found!

Mr Big Boy

Matthew is finally liking puffs and can get SOME of them in his mouth! And we are working on the sippy cup thing too...he is not a fan yet!

Hippity Hop

I love our yard and how everyday there is always some type of animal that comes to visit! Yesterday it was the bunnies!

It won't be long now.....

before we have a walking toddler in the house! Hopefully he will wait a couple more months before he gets brave enough to let go!

VBS- 2nd song

Here is the 2nd song the kids did....wonder how much of his shirt Jackson can get in his mouth??

VBS

Jackson ready for VBS Day at church with the shirt he made! I actually co-taught his class! We had 14 kids his age (whew they wore me out!) But they were all lots of fun!

The girls and boys had a contest this week at VBS to see who could raise more money (the money is going toward buying bookbags and supplies in our school district for those that can't afford it). And what was better was if the boys won - Josie got a pie in the face and if the girls won - Brad got the pie! Well the girls pulled through and here is Brad getting his pie! But the great thing is that these kids raised over $500 for bookbags!
The other great thing about VBS is the we had 27 kids accept Jesus into their hearts and become saved! This is the largest group ever from what I am told! How wonderful for these kids!



We had this train and the Inflatables out again today after church.

The Train

Matthew - not quite sure about this VBS thing! :)

Here is Jackson in his video at church NOT singing! He practiced on the way there and I think he got stage fright once on stage! We had 3 kids not go up at all so I was glad he at least stood up there! Towards the end I tried to get him to stop sucking his thumb and he started acting silly! I have another video I am trying to upload and having difficulties...will post it later!

Who's your hero??

Ours is Daddy!
The base makes these sweet Daddy Hero Dolls for the kids, so when Daddy deploys it may not be AS hard! I think they are just the cutest things!

I love how Matthew is chewing on David's head here! Can we say teething baby!




Someone's been sleeping in my bed

and here he is!
Jackson crawls into my bed some mornings about 6 am before Matthew decides to wake at 6:15. Why do my kids not sleep in?? Jackson actually fell back asleep here which is rare!

Busy Busy Boy

Getting into everything!

What's this???


I have been HORRIBLE about taking pictures lately! We have had 2 weeks of family visiting. (And I realized I took NO pictures when my mom was here! BOO!) And we have VBS this week and twelve 3/4 year olds will wear you out! Yep I am co-teaching Jackson's class! I hope to remember to take the camera Sunday morning when Jackson will be on stage singing or not singing 2 songs!

Stages of Wake Up!

Sweet Dreams

Oh Good Morning Mama!

Yep get me out of here please! I wanna play!

What's wrong with this picture??

yes...Harley even outside doesn't like to sit on the ground! What a silly pup!

I finally broke down & pulled out the ball pit!

Not that it isn't a great toy, but oh the balls I knew I would be picking up. Surprisingly though - Jackson is constantly picking them up....guess him being a little older helps!



Here is Jackson when he got it, from Uncie B and Aunt C, on his 1st Birthday. Oh yes - you too will one day have a baby and I will remember all of the gifts you have given! :)

9 months

I can't believe we are so close to a 1st birthday! What is Matthew doing now??
- crawling EVERYWHERE still
- pulling up and trying to creep a little
- eating everything he can get his hands on to include big people food
- NO teeth
- going to bed on his own
- finally taking good naps
- sleeping all night FINALLY
- growing up too too fast
- smiling all the time
- loving his brother
- attached to mommy


Here is Jackson at 9 months too!

Nana and Family come to visit!

David's mom, her sister, and 2 of her daughters came out for a visit this past weekend. I really enjoyed the company and the boys loved the extra attention!

Jackson and Nana enjoying the hammock!

Matthew showing Nana how big he is now!

Jackson has a new buddy - cousin Kassandra!
