Happy Birthday Jackson!
Jackson turned 4! And, ringing it in with a party, we celebrated at the gymnastics gym with lots of friends, and lots of goodies! What a fun time!!
We had pizza, did gymnastics, opened presents and ate cake! Many thanks to Coaches Megan and Leslie, who were real troopers with all those kids. Jackson LOVED it!
Happy Birthday to SUCH a big boy!
Joel's Latest Accomplishment
Well, here we are. 5 months, and 70 pounds later, the day of the 5K Joel said he would run was here. We got up before 6:00, ON A SATURDAY, readied our bags and the babies, and headed to the winery for Joel's race. Jackson was so excited. He was so sure Daddy was going to "win", (he would not listen to the reasoning that there were more than 1500 people), and he couldn't wait to watch. The weather was nice, and we were on time, so the day started off well. Joel began in the front of the pack, and we waited patiently for him to get back to our cheering spot. A little while later, as runners began to come in, Jackson cheered in good sportsmanship and patiently, no really, he was patient, waited for Daddy. We finally spotted his red shorts, and Jackson stood at the curb cheering and clapping. We were about 100 feet from the finish line, and as Joel approached the greatest thing happened. Joel threw his water bottle down, ran over, grabbed Jackson, and carried him the rest of the way, all the way across the finish! Jackson said, "Me and Daddy won!!"
We are so proud of Joel for the weight loss, the training, the running, and most importantly for doing what he said he would do. He finished his 5K in 25 minutes 42 seconds, his FASTEST time yet, and didn't even fall over! So proud!! What a great day! A perfect memory!!

Pumpkin Carving Fun
We carved a seriously cool, Star Wars themed, Darth Vader to be exact, pumpkin this year. It was fun for EVERYONE! Well, it was a little stressful for Mommy. See, Joel carved a big "T" in the one last year for our football theme. I got Vader. Seriously? So, not fair. But, FUN!

Jacey Grace Morris was born on Easter Sunday, April 12, at 11:09 p.m. She was 19 inches long and weighed in at 6 pounds, 3 oz. She is BEAUTIFUL, and trust me, I would say if she wasn't. But...well....she is!
Happy Birthday Jackson!!
Well....Jackson is finally 3!!
He is very excited, and so are we. Jackson and all his friends had so much fun at his bowling birthday party. I have decided that the best oart about 3 year old birthdays is that parents can't leave. So, it wasn't too bad....we loved it!

You enticed me to start a blog, too. I wonder how often one should add to a blog, in order to be politically correct.
