Happy 1st Birthday Jackson Xavier!!!

More to come.........

Well spent

I just had to post my latest and greatest find at the Dollar General in Allendale (besides the $4 faux baby crocs I found for Jackson). I've seen Crocs version of the MaryJane and found these knockoffs for a mere $6 last week! I will be alternating these with the infamous flip-flops this summer. The best part - I can stick them into the washing machine when dirty!

Small talk with Reece

So today was a busy day living the life of a family of 6. I picked up McKenna for a playdate at our house (to give Stephanie some time with the new baby). The boys loved having a little girl around (Reece, especially b/c they're only a few months apart). I took ONLY Reece with me while I brought McKenna back to GR. Tim and I try to make a conscious effort of giving him individual attention when possible. It seems he's much more jealous of Jackson now that Jackson is walking and a possible threat to his territory. On the way home from GR Reece and I had a bit of small talk. I think he liked not having to compete with Lucas (or Jackson) for my attention. A bit of silence lingered and then he said to me, "Mom, you're a pretty girl" (so matter-of-factly). I asked him what he said as I wanted to make sure I wasn't dreaming :) Clear as day, I heard what I thought I heard. You have a special place in my heart Reece Allen Meyers :) Mommy loves you!!!

Cooperating for the camera

He obviously hasn't figured out I will be (trying to) taking a zillion pictures of him during his childhood years!

Giving it a shot
