Little Picasso

Jackson had his first experience fingerpainting today. He loved it!
This is when he decided to taste it.

Messy hands!!

He told us "Jackson made it! Jackson made a cow!"

His first masterpiece! I think he is a natural.

The slight green stain on his hands after repeated washing makes me question the "washable paint". Good thing it is almost summer and we can paint outside!

Catching up with the Weiss Family

This weekend we traveled down to Columbus to catch up with family and friends. We spent Friday night and Saturday with the Weiss family at their lovely new home. The three boys had such a great time together. Jackson was in heaven playing with his 2 cousins. It was so cute to hear Leo running around calling for "Jack-Jack" and Jackson tried to do EVERYTHING that Louis did (since he is the "big boy").

Then the three boys got "in the bubbles" together to get cleaned up.

After the bath everyone got into jammies and Adam read a bedtime story. Very sweet to see all these Pedroni boys sittting together:)

Then we had three little monkeys jumping on the bed! Suprisingly the boys all went to bed very easily and got a good nights sleep.

The next morning Adam was kind enough to make us all a delicious waffle breakfast. Jackson even got to experience the "puking cow" for the first time. (a tradition/joke from Adam and Matt's childhood)

After breakfast we walked down to their great neighborhood park. Louis is such a big boy that he pulled the "babies" in the wagon all the way to the end of the street!

Then we had a great time playing on the playground.

Saturday night we had a cookout and the Chase family came over to join us. Leo and Louis' backyard is so much fun! Everyone was playing football and basketball, sliding and riding bikes.

Thank you so much for having us down, we had a wonderful time. Jackson has been telling everyone about Leo and Louis and the fun that he had. We can't wait to visit again soon.

Two Baby Bobcats

We spent Saturday night and Sunday with the Chase family (our friends from OU). Jackson and Madelyn had a great time playing together.

They sat and had a bed-snack at Madelyn's Dora table.

I think Jackson was trying to teach Madelyn how to play football. She was having a blast playing with all of the balls and trucks that we brought down with us.

Since the boys gave us a Mommies night out last time we visited, they went golfing an Sunday while we hung out at the house. The weather was beautiful so we got to spend a lot of time outside. Matt even got sunburned on the golf course.

I hope Madelyn is feeling better soon. We had such a good time, we can't wait to see you guys again!

Baby Bobcat!!!

I think that Jackson is a future OU Bobcat-he is double fisting already!!!

(I know his outfit doesn't match, he insists on wearing that vest around everywhere)

Busy Weekend

We had a wonderful Jig's dinner over at Mimi and Papu's house on Sunday. Jackson had a lot of fun playing with them after we ate. He even found Mimi's hidden circus train and dragged it out, insisting Mimi play with him.



Thanks for the great evening!




Saturday night we had a wonderful dinner at a tapas restaurant in town called Pocco Piatti. Uncle Joe's parents, Bob and Bev were in town so we all went out. The food was fabulous and Jackson was an angel the whole time we were there!


Jackson ended the meal with a big bowl of ice cream which he ended up eating all be himself. I think that Keycoo planned on sharing it with him, but he never gave him a chance!

I think the icecream felt good on Jackson's teeth. He is currently cutting all 4 of his 2 year molars and he has been pretty miserable lately.It's so hard to watch him be in pain and not really be able to do anything for him. We are hoping they break through soon and we can be DONE with teething:)

Play-Dough

Jackson had his first experience with Play-Dough. I think it was a success! He did not even try to eat any of it. He liked when Mommy would roll a ball for him and then he could "smash it up". We did that until he started throwing the play-dough ball across the dining room. We also got some finger paint at the store as well-pics of that coming soon...

A Hint of Spring

This past weekend we had some very nice weather (60s!) We took full advantage and spent as much time outside as we could.

Jackson was practicing riding his bike-he looks like such a big boy on it.

Jackson and Daddy were also playing football with the neighbor boys.

Grammy came to visit this weekend as well. We had such a good time with her, even though Jackson was still recovering from a bit of the flu. (Which he then gave to Daddy who gave it to Mommy:(-we are hoping Grammy doesn't get it next) Jackson loved hanging out with both of his Grandmas at the same time.
