Atlanta's Children Museum, Father's Day & Ella's Birthday

Jackson had a ball at the Atlanta's Children Museum. He went from exhibit to exhibit. They had a little circus show where I couldn't keep Jackson off the stage. He loved the moon sand and water pond and of course the balls. We had a good Father's Day, we meet Uncle Billy for lunch. Jackson was so excited to see him, he ran and gave him a big hug. Jackson has been playing a little outside: it is almost too hot to stay out. He loves to use the salt shaker, we've had to designate Jackson his very own salt shaker filled with rice and just a little salt, but not all restaurants have "Jackson salt shakers" so we usually have a huge mess when we go out to eat. We went to Ella's 7th Birthday Party. Jackson had the best time. He played in their play room and found all the cars, played a little in the sand box, went swinging and jumped on the trampoline. He got to play with his cousin closest in age to him, Grayson, who is about a month younger. They share a love for cars. Grayson lives in Texas so Jackson doesn't get to see him much. Jackson partisipated in hiting the pinata. As much as his likes to hit, I was surprised he took his turn and let the other kids have a shot. He took up with Malory, Grayson's older sister, on the trampoline where she was tring to teach Jackson a few ballet moves. He was unresponsive. Besides playing all day at Ella's Jackson favorite thing there was the ice-cream. Take a look at the videos and photos of Jackson.

June Pudding

Jackson got to hold 7 week old Judah all by himself. Jackson loves to pick his mother flowers, all kinds, even weeds. Jackson went to the playground, but it was just too hot, so he played with the water hose instead. He played with his Great Aunt Shelia and Great Uncle Cecil. He liked to throw the ball to them, he let them play with a few of his cars. He had a short visit from Lolo and Amma. Jackson made chocolate pudding and then created some beautiful artwork. His usual partner in crime, Joselyn, came over and spent the day. Lexie entertained them in the basement where what happens in the basement stays in the basement. Take a look at the photos.

Memorial Day Celebrations

Jackson had a very busy Memorial Day weekend. He started out with his Uncle Billy's big BBQ competition in Blairsville, he loved eating outside and playing in the sand box with Kingston. The next day he went to Kington's first birthday party. Jackson managed to pop 3 ballons all by himself. Then on Memorial Day he took his very first boat ride with his favorite set of crazy aunts, Melissa and Ginger or Gigi. He loved playing in the huge float thing they had, he even went out on the jet ski with his dad. Jackson spent the entire day on the lake with no nap and was the best little boy ever, he said he enjoyed Aunt Melissa's toys so much that he wanted to go back and that he would be just as good next time. Jackson also got to spend more time with Yaya and Pop while we spent some time on the lake without Jackson and to the Drive-In with the Callihan cousins. It was so crowded, not like when I saw "Girls just want to have fun" or "Night of the living dead", two movies my cousin Ginger took me to when I was a kid. Pop brought home a surprise for Jackson, a table and chair set and toddler bed with the Cars theme on it. He loves it, as everyone knows Jackson loves cars. Jackson got to spend more time with Pop and Yaya the next weekend, as we celebrated our anniversay. Jackson went to the library and then hung out with his cousins, Trent and Emma. Check out the cute photos of Jackson.
