Jackson's birthday weekend celebrations.

Jackson had a great birthday weekend! We did all the things of his list of favorites on his birthday...and then had a "small" family party on Sunday afternoon. It was a great time celebrating this little buddy in our lives.

"Golf with daddy?" Yes Jackson today we get to golf with daddy!

"Yeah, Dnand."



Jackson's Rum rum birthday!

Thank you mommy and daddy for my own skateboard!




I really love my skateboard!

Baby Jackson



As I put my "baby" to bed tonight, knowing tomorrow he will wake up and be two, I am really sad. I realized with Drew when he was first in his own room, in his crib, that Parenthood is just a continuation of letting go. It seemed easy to say this of Drew, he was my big boy, and before he was two, we knew he would be a big brother.
I don't feel the same with Jackson. Yes I let him, go however, it's taken me longer. Each stage I am surprised by. I think, "oh are we here already." Maybe because life goes by faster, I don't know, but I really can't believe that he is two. It seems that he is still this sweet, snuggly thing I brought home.
So as I put him to bed, I start to reprogram my thinking of who he is, he's a big boy. He is growing up and all I can do is just continue to let him go.


Happy Birthday Jackson James.

Jackson is turning 2.


Now I know that a week ago I titled a blog "he's 2" because I've felt the two-ness for the past month, however it happens this Friday. The sweet, sneaky, silly and serious, Jackie James will officially be two.

I can't believe how fast the last year has gone. So on Friday we, the Hutton family will do Jackson's favorite things. The following quotes we hear over and over again.

1. "Watch ooo, ahh-ahh in daddy car?"
So we will be driving to all of our Jackson day celebration in Mike's car and watching Curious George.

2."Want golf with daddy?" "Drew want golf with daddy?"
So we will be going to the driving range as our first stop of the Jackson day.

3. "Want go Dnand, ride buzz, woody?"
Then we will be going to the DCA and riding Toy story Mania.


The food will be pancakes, chicken fingers and fries and lots of fruit.

I expect him to be so excited to be sharing his special day with his two favorite people, Drew and Daddy.

What fun it is to be two!

I trying to attach my blog to facebook and have been having some difficulties.

Swimming Lessons 08

We took swim lessons from Miss Pat last year. She has been doing it forever and really teaches them how to swim. Last year Jackson cried everyday until the last day. Yesterday (day 1) He cried so much I had to bring out the passy. But today he really started to be proud of himself for actually swimming. I'm really excited to see how go he'll be the end of the next week.
Drew did great, he's a fish and is fine tuning the skills.

Drew's Debut!

Drew filmed an episode for yo gabba gabba yesterday. We took some photos but they said we couldn't post them online...

But it was really fun only about an hour and a half and they had a beautiful system in line. When Drew got there they gave him a card and he had to get a sticker for all the different stops he made and he got a prize.

First stop, He went to voiceover...where he said, "I'm drew and I like to dance"...and a few other silly things.
Then he went to wardrobe and makeup
then dance practice.
Then he did a few different scenes in this big stage with lots of lights and him in the center looking the size of an ant.

Then to the green screen shoot, where drew will fly on a crazy flying trophy.

Then to the final stop, a photo shoot where they will turn that into drew riding a skate board.

He did really great. He was a little quite at first, and had a few silly smiles but totally did all that he was asked to do. And he got an awesome yo gabba gabba tee shirt.

It will air in sometime in October, but the new season starts in August. His episode is called the "dress up" episode.

He's Two. Part One.

I stole this title from wittaker woman. She too has a two year old boy...she's on part eleven. Well since Jackson isn't even two yet, he's starting early. See what adventure he got into today...and this was even after my previous post. The day just got better....

What to do, what to do?

Ok so last week my mom made a comment on here about how cute "my girl" will be. No pressure...last night I was told by my dad through tears that he bought "my girl" an old fashion pink tricycle. Again No pressure!

Today is one of those days when I don't know if I want any more children, jackson didn't want to eat and took about an hour to fall asleep. Drew did not sleep, but made his room a mess...so I got to thinking with all this parent pressure, what are my chances of having that girl...well here it is...the all too accurate ancient Chinese calendar.

It looks like I have Sept-Dec and then next year Feb, but that january is just sitting there, wanting me to have another boy....
what to do, what to do?

Cutest Friend Ever!



I found this, and not only is it bring me back to when I was young, but this is one of my bestest friends (the cute blond) Aubrey Wilkinson!

Parkcrest, Parade, and Popsicles

The annual Parkcrest Parade was today. The kids go around the playground a few times and get Popsicles at the end. Very cute to see them all so patriotic.

I have arrived!


So as I go about a normal work day...
1. Meet with client.
2. Edit some photos.
3. Go to the post office box...

and then there it is, waiting for me in the PO Box, a first for me, my own Nordstrom Visa card!
Having it in my wallet makes me feel like a real woman. I know I can't go crazy and spend the limit...but at the same time...it's just so pretty.

So as I go through out the rest of my work day, I have an extra kick in my step. Now all I need is a Starbucks visa card...do they make those?
