March 2013

March started off with Jackson's Blessing Day on March 10, 2013.  We were blessed to have so much family in town for his blessing.  We missed Jeff's mom as she was in Australia helping his sister Julie who just had her baby boy.  However, she has a special connection to his blessing day since he was blessed on her birthday! Jackson was wide awake for his blessing but was a perfect angel and didn't make a peep.  After his blessing we went to our house for a luncheon and he slept through the majority of his party!  He is such a sweet baby. 
I don't think he could be any cuter!
We are grateful for all of the family that traveled to be with us on this special day

Family of Four!
 
Thanks to everyone bringing food we had a delicious lunch...pulled pork sandwiches with homemade coleslaw, fruit tray and dips, macaroni salad, green salad, and chips.

 For Valentine's Day Jeff surprised me with tickets to the Carrie Underwood Concert. I had dropped hints long ago about wanting to go but had no idea that he was paying attention! I was so excited! That girl can sing! I'm not huge into concerts and the only concerts I've wanted to go to are Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood and Boyz II Men. I got to see Rascal Flatts at the Houston Rodeo so the only one left on my list is Boyz II Men....hint hint Jeff ;)

She is seriously gorgeous and I loved it when she sang two of my favorites...Temporary Home and Jesus Take the Wheel. They are so touching and have a great message 
Jackson's First day at Church. I wish I had a better picture of his outfit...This was one of my favorite outfits from Jamisen.  He looked like a little man in his grey slacks and argyle sweater!

For Valentine's Day I surprised Jeff with a weekend getaway to Santa Barbara and Solvang.   I had been wanting to show him Solvang for some time and was excited for him to see it.  It's a little Danish town full of European Charm.


where does the time go?!

Don't you just want to kiss those pouty lips?!
