Time flies... 9 months already?

I cannot believe my baby boy is already 9 months old. He is getting so big! He weighs 22 pounds, 4 ounces and is 28.5 inches long. He's pretty much the exact same size as Jackson at this age!

So far, Parker says Dada a lot, Bub bub, Mom mom (but that's rare, and usually while he's crying.) He also says bite and Jackson!! He plays patty cake, peek a boo, and loves to crawl around and chase Jackson all over the house.

School is back in session!!

Jackson loves 4 year old pre-school. He LOVES it! His teacher is so awesome, he brings home a craft every day, he has a lot of the same kids from last year in his class... He is learning so much. It's awesome.

Here are some pictures from his meet the teacher night and first day of school.

The first day of school - yep, that's Gymboree with light up shoes - he chose it and loved it!

Here he is coming out of school...

Look Ma', no training wheels!

I cannot believe I am writing this... my 4 year old can ride his bike without training wheels! Yep, amazing, isn't it? He's been wanting to try it for months now and I kept saying no. There was a bike at my parents' house that had on training wheel broken, so my dad took the other one off. Jackson picked it up and took off!! I was so shocked, and proud, and nervous... but I just did what any other good Momma would do and said, "Great job, buddy, Momma is so proud of you!" Inside, I was thinking please don't wreck, please be careful, please watch out...

T-Ball, might as well be the World Series to Jackson

We are so busy having fun this summer! It's hard to believe school starts back in less than a month! Jackson is ready, though - he wants to see his friends and his teachers. We signed him up for t-ball thru the YMCA and he is LOVING it, especially his coach, Coach Damon. Apparently Coach Damon is the bees knees because what he says goes! Here is Jackson - his very first time up to bat. Yep that's Coach Damon -

Here he is after he ran home!

Here's what Parker does while Jackson plays t-ball (and then my Mom usually grabs him out of the stroller because you cannot resist those cheeks! And those kisses!!) *notice Parker has on the team colors? I also have a blue and white shirt - yes, I'm a dork!!

A little bit of Kentucky

We decided to go for a visit to Kentucky - where I'm from. The house I grew up in was in need of some repair and my whole family has been down there all week getting it done. My dad had to remove 3 rooms, he built a new porch, put on a roof - a lot of work. It looks awesome!

On the new porch

Parker loves his Granny!

Summer at Our New House

We love our new house. We love our yard. We love our bedrooms. We love the hardwood floors - we love all of it! The boys love playing outside and we love watching them.

Robbins Family Reunion

Ben's family has a reunion every year - we go out to Aunt Donna's farm, fish, eat tons of food and catch up. This year was no different except Jackson is now old enough to know what fishing is, and requires that we do it the whole time!! Luckily, we ran out of worms early, so that worked well for us!

Aren't they the cutest things you ever did see??
