18 Months!

I tell you what.. This last year and a half has been a blur! It has been one of the most fun and rewarding times in my life. I just love watching Jackson grow and learn new things.

At his 18 month Dr. Appt this week he was perfectly healthy and in the 90-95% for height and weight.. what a big boy!

Happy Easter!

This past weekend we had a great time celebrating Easter! My mom (Nanny) came up to visit and we had a great time! Jackson got to partake in like 3 different Easter egg hunts (Which he just loved). Not to mention all the Easter egg baskets he got and all the chocolate he consumed! Holidays are getting to be so much more fun now that Jackson is starting to understand, I'm sure it is only going to get better! I can't wait!

Kiss me I'm Irish!

In honor of St. Pattys day Jackson wants everyone to give him kisses!! But really.. He would get lots of kisses even if he wasen't Irish!

Bath time just doesn't get old for Lil J! It's probably one of the highlights of his day :)

Christmas!

^{Merry Christmas! Christmas is quite possibly our favorite Holiday in the Arnold house! Especially now that Jackson is starting to get the hang of the whole “present” thing! Christmas morning we woke up had breakfast and then embarked on the present opening! Next year I need to remember to give Jackson the most boring present first, because once he opened up the first toy all he wanted to do was play with that one! He really seemed to enjoy all of the fun things he got J That evening we headed down to St. Augustine to see the festival of lights! Unfortunately it was a little rainy, but we made the best of it!}

Christmas Eve!

Today started off great!  We met matt and Gina for breakfast at Metro Diner and then took Jackson to the park J I think Matt and Hunter had more fun than Jackson though! After the park we met Grammy and Granddaddy at church for their Christmas Eve service, then headed over to their house for dinner and presents! Jackson got some pretty great gifts! He especially loved the rocking horse! 

Michigan

This past weekend we headed up to Michigan for the annual Kolak family Christmas party! We had a great time as usual! We stayed the night over at Hunter’s cousin’s house which is great because they have a daughter who is about 8 months older than Jackson. Jackson and Leah got a long great! On the Saturday we headed over to Grampa’s house for Dinner and visiting with family.. There were some many kids I don’t think Jackson knew what to do! On Sunday we headed back to Grampa’s for breakfast and to say our good byes. On our way to the airport we stopped by Frankenmuth to go to Bronners (the biggest Christmas store in the country) and to get some fudge..yum!
