Fun in the Wagon!!!

Jackson loves his sister especially when she plays, talks, looks, so pretty much has anything to do with him!!! We love the sound of them playing so well together because I am sure in a couple of years there where be more screaming and fighting between the two instead of laughing!!!!!

CHRISTMAS AT MINDY'S

We started off we Christmas at Mindy's on Sunday night!!!

CHRISTMAS AT ETHEL'S

Grandad and Kitty with six of their great grand kids. From left to right, Bailey, Jackson, Zack , Madison, Cameron, and Brock.

The next day we had a Christmas party at Ethel's house. More toys and lots more goodies to eat!!!

ON CHRISTMAS EVE SANTA CAME!!

Before you go on and look at our pictures from Christmas you have to know the story of Cameron and Santa. She is very scared of Santa and a week before Christmas I was telling Cameron one night before bed that Santa would be coming into our house next week and leaving Jackson and her toys under the tree. That did not set well. She told me "NO mama, Santa cannot come into our house." I said but how is he going to leave ya'lls toys. She said, "He can leave them outside, he cannot come in our house." That was then end of the conversation that night on Santa. Two days before Santa came to our house, she sat down beside me on the couch and said, "Mama, Santa can leave the toys outside and Daddy can bring them inside."

We left cookies and a Dr. Pepper for Santa. It does look like Jackson is reaching for a cookie but really he is sleeping!!!!

Cameron putting food out the the Reindeer. (She was very excited to leave the food out for them and was even more excited when we came home and the food was gone!) We then got in our suburban and drove around to see if we could find Santa in the sky!!!

And when we came home this is what Cameron found in the living room!!!

Santa left Cameron and Jackson a 50"s Diner!!!Cameron loves to cook and Jackson loves chewing on the play food!!!

Jackson also got a lion car to ride on!!!

Helping Daddy put their new wagon together.

We took the kids on a ride around our neighbor hood to look at the Christmas lights. They love riding in their new wagon.

Every year the adults have a White Elephant and my parents always to a gag gift for either the men or the women. Some past gag gifts include mice, a big metal pig, an ugly wooden guy that we called Java Joe, and some sexy lingerie that Kitty ended up with last year. Well this year it was the guys turn and lucky uncle Brent got the gag gift. A nice set of Men's thong underwear, yes that is right I said thong!!! Oh yeah and a $100!!!!

Jackson and Tater are only 1 month part, Tater being older. But by the looks of it and I mean a 3+ pound difference Jackson looks like the older one. Tater decided that he wanted Jackson pacifier while we were taking pictures.
And he got it!!!


Jackson has become a bat!!! He like to throw himself back and hang upside down.

Grandad makes the great grand kids a toy every year. This year he made them stick horses!! So cute!!!

By the end of the day Jackson needed a little pick me up from playing with all the cousins!!! Just kidding he is only chewing on the top of it because he cutting two teeth on the bottom right now!!!

Jackson's First "Fade" Hair Cut

Jackson got his first "fade"  haircut last night at Mastercuts on the mall.  He did very good at first but by the end he was crying!!!

So what do you think of my new do!!!!

It's Official! He did it!!!

Even though he has been saying ba ba, bye bye, and making the da da sounds, he said the most important word today!!! He said mama and I got it on video to prove it!!! If you listen close (due to the loud Wiggles video playing in the background) you can hear him say it!!!

Jackson has learned to hold his bottle.
Jackson and Cameron before church on Sunday.

So Mindy bought these bouncing horses and the kids absolutely love them!!! Cameron and Bailey had a blast playing on them, Jackson thought he was bouncing on his horse too, and Brock was laughing so hard that his alarms kept going off!!! A must for any kid, hours of entertainment!!!

Oh what to do on cold winter days?? Cameron and Jackson decided to have laugh party in our bed!!! He thinks his sister is so funny and gets mad when she does not play with him!!!

Bath Time and our Shopping Diva

Cameron playing in the bath tub.


Jackson loves to watch the water during his bath time.

Cameron loves to play in the tub when Jackson gets a bath.

So this past Sunday Cameron and I went and got our hair cut. I cut my hair short into a bob and Cameron wanted her hair cut just like mine!!! So our little girl has short hair now!!!

This is our little shopping diva. She is just relaxing in the shopping cart playing with Jackson's toys while we were shopping at Target. We have to keep her in the buggy or she is grabbing everything off the shelves before we know it!!!! She already loves to shop! She is very sneaky. She will put items in our buggy and we wont find them until we are checking out!

Jackson Zayne Ritz 6 months

So our little boy is 6 months old today.  He is such a joy to be around.  We had his six month check up today and he is 19lbs 1 oz and is 26 1/2 inches long.  He also got four shots and did not like them on bit!!!

What Jackson likes these day:

* He loves his mommy, he gets very upset if I walk out of the room without him.

* He loves all types of fruit and veggies.

* He loves to play in his jumper.

* He loves his sister and watches her every move.

*He loves The Wiggles.  If he is upset all we have to do is turn on the Wiggles and he is a happy boy.

*He loves to be on his feet and not on his belly.

* He loves to snuggle with us in bed at night!  (We are a family of four in a queen size bed. Starting to get pretty crowded. Can't wait until our add is finished so we can get out King Size bed!)

* He chews on everything.  He loves chewing on cloth materials like a billy goat!

*He is a very loving child.  He likes to give hugs and tries to give kisses!

*He does not like to be on his belly.

*He can sit by himself and is trying to copy us when we make sounds or say words.  He says bye-bye, ba ba, and da da.

These past 6 months have gone by very fast.  We have enjoyed every minute with out two little angles and can't wait to see what the future brings for us!!!!
