Catching up

Well, like I said a couple days ago, I can't believe it's been a month since I have blogged. Life gets crazy.

I've been working, Tues-Fri, every week. Tyler has been working some CRAZY hours, hitting overtime by Wednesday a lot of weeks. This has made for some very long nights alone with Jackson and one very stressed out, exhausted Mama. Thankfully, that time is coming to a close and he will be staying home with Jackson from now on, only working Mondays and possibly an occasional weekend. So ready for this change!

So, let's go back in time. I had a wonderful first Mothers' Day this past weekend.

It lasted the entire weekend! Saturday, Shirley and David came up to keep Jackson while Tyler and I went to a co-worker's wedding. Tyler and I enjoyed our first outing alone in a while!
After the wedding, we came back to the house and hung out with Tyler's brothers Joey and Dustin for a bit until church Saturday night. Tyler's parents & brothers, my parents, brothers, and grandparents, and Tyler, Jackson, and I went to church together Saturday night and all sat together. I thought that was pretty awesome. Then, Sunday morning, my in-laws and sweet husband let me sleep in a little later than usual and I got coffee and a card in bed! :) My in-laws went back to El Dorado and Tyler, Jacks and I got to spend the whole day as a family together, just watching movies and hanging out (since the weather was not so great). Then we had dinner with my family at my parents'.

The weekend before that, we found out that our best friends Charity and Jonathan Ashworth are building a house three lots down from ours! Charity and I have known each other since we were kids back in Alma. We reconnected in college and got married around the same time. Jonathan and Tyler are buddies now, too. We are too excited to have them so close and can't wait for all the cookouts, movie nights, and yes, golf days that will ensue! :)

Jackson is really growing so quickly lately! It really does go too fast! He is now a lot more social, and smiles at everyone! He loves to play peekaboo, and recognizes his bottle as his "food". He can sit up with support from his Bumbo or pillows around him.


He laughs and coos at you all the time. He's been eating rice cereal occasionally and getting better with that. We go back to the doctor the first week of June for a check up, and I can't wait to see how much he's gained! He is such a blessing in our lives. We can't imagine or remember our life without him!

So, that's what's been up... really not too much... just day to day life :)
