Halloween 08

Halloween has been fun this year for sure! At first, all Jakson wanted to be was a "big brother". Then he saw Toy Story (not sure why he hadn't seen it yet?) and fell in love with Buzz Lightyear! So then we changed gears on costume buying and found a great one. Then, Jakson decided that Payton needed a costume--we had to explain that we couldn't put a costume on him while he was in Mommy's tummy. I started thinking, and remembered a Baby Story episode I had seen a long time ago where a couple of moms all due in the winter had their hubbies paint their tummies to look like pumpkins. I suggested the idea to Jakson and he was so excited! Payton could have a costume after all! So it started out as a great art project and bonding for Jakson and Payton, but soon turned into a masterpiece by Daddy when Jakson lost interest in the painting....



Jakson giving Payton a kiss before we got started--he does this all the time--I hope it lasts! :-)

And Daddy taking over when Jakson decided he would rather play baseball with Poppy :-)



Mommy, Payton, and Jakson all dressed up and arriving at our church's fall festival. (Didn't Daddy do a great job?)



Daddy, Mommy, and Payton--everyone just loved his "costume" and thought that it was great!



"Buzz" flying on one of the kiddie rides (the main reason why Jakson likes Buzz, because he flies!)



Daddy and Jakson going on a hayride!



Jakson getting a ride from Daddy--isn't that just the most precious face ever?!



Jakson riding another kiddie ride--anything he can do to "fly"!!

Texas State Fair 08

We went to the Texas State Fair with Rory's family and had a great time! Jakson and Ashtyn loved all the animals and the "big" boys loved the car show. Us girls just enjoyed the great weather and the time spent together! :-)



Rory, Jakson, Bana, and Ashtyn checking out some of the animals.



Mommy, Jakson, and Daddy in the kids zoo area having fun!



Jakson really enjoyed getting to feed the animals this year--of course, the goats are always the easiest to feed! :-)



Hey! I'm doing it all by myself!!



Isn't this fun Daddy?!



Jakson posing with one of the puppets from a really cool puppet show we saw.



And then there are the "big" boy toys to look at... :-)

Father/Son Time

Rory and Jakson went to the air show as a special Father/Son outing and really had a blast! Rory just loves teaching Jakson anything he can, and Jakson is such a little sponge, that he loves to soak it all in!


Jakson showing off the plane Daddy got for him!



Eating lunch, but always still watching..."Hey Daddy! Look!"



Daddy and Jakson having a great time!



So much fun--he didn't even make it out of the parking lot!! :-)
