Good times playing in the rain!

SeeSaw Time!!!

The weather was gorgeous so we decided to go check out the Cheshire Community Park. It rocks with all the amount of outdoor toys to play with! Jackson will definitely have plenty to do when he stays with Grandma and Grandpa.

Hanging out at Great Grandma Staffaroni's house

Jackson and Daddy being funny and wearing each other's slippers.

Jackson and Daddy took the turtle for a walk to the beach.

Fisher-Price turtle from a very long time ago. They just don't make toys they way they used too!

Hanging out and playing.

Jackson's first time to Sesame Place

Jackson and Elmo

Jackson with Bert and Ernie

His favorite thing to do was to play with the fire truck.

Daddy and Jackson with Cookie Monster

Jackson had a wonderful time at Sesame Place, so much that we knew we could go back twice. Sesame Place knows how to make money because your admission for one day is the same as a two-day pass.

Hanging out with Daddy in the pool!

My adorable niece, Skylar!

Hanging out in the pool.

Already loves 4 wheelers like her daddy.

So precious :) Skylar is such a happy little one year old. She was so much fun to hang out with.

Hanging out with Pappy!

Papaya survived the 12 hour flight to Pennsylvania. Jackson had a great time helping to get her used to Pappy's house. Thanks again Dad and Christine for helping us out and taking good care of Papaya.

We miss you Papaya :)

First stop in Pennsylvania, Twin Kiss

Twin Kiss is a little drive up restaurant that I love to go to when we come home to Pennsylvania. They have great ice-cream and food and you can eat outdoors which is great for Jackson. They actually have deer that you can feed too. They have a white deer that for some reason...Jackson thought was an elephant :)

Chasing Nana and hanging out with GG.

Hanging out before we go on vacation

Before we went to the East Coast for our fun adventure. I took Brooke and Makenzie for a couple of hours so Monica could pack and get organized for their 45 day trip to Pennsylvania.

I was able to get one picture of all of the kids, however Makenzie wasn't too happy about not being able to roam around.

The adorable Makenzie.

Hanging out and talking on the phone!

Happy Birthday Jackson and Brooke

This year and Jackson and Brooke celebrated their birthday in June. We had the party theme as bugs and butterflies. The kids went on a bug hunt and had a lot of fun. I still can't believe they are turning 3!

Yummy Maryland Blue Crab!

My wonderful husband!!! Love you Babe!

Jackson's top ten

1. Jackson loves shoes, he usually takes his red boots, sneaker sandals, and wears his local slippers to go to daycare.

2. Lately when I leave the house, I usually say "Bye Mike" and Jackson would say bye daddy. However now he has started to say "Bye Mike" or Hi Honey

3. He is the boy of lots of bags lately and brings everything he can take with him that fits in a bunch of ziploc bags.

4. Jackson misses the Easter bunny and was telling us I like eat bunny. It took us a minute but Mike figured out he was telling us He likes the Easter bunny.

5. He sings a song to clean up...Everybody clean up, clean up. However his version is missing the every and he says "Buddy clean up, clean up, buddy clean up.

6. Nobody can touch his stuff. We are working on sharing but in our house we constantly hear, "my touch" "daddy and mommy no touch"

7. He likes to put on his own clothes which typically means he wears his underwear and shorts are backwards and he doesn't care.

8. He loves to watch Handy Manny and Mickey Mouse on the disney channel while mommy and daddy are getting ready for work.

9. He can count to ten and can identify his letters. At times he has trouble with some of the lowercase letters.

10. Potty training.... we have 8 weeks to master this so he doesn't have trouble at preschool. He goes potty and typically only has one accident a day. (usually naptime)
