First Swing Ride

It didn't take long for Langston to realize how much fun a swing is. He couldn't stop laughing!

America's Next Top Model

Saraia just got her first cover. This is the monthly info magazine from her new school.

They asked for kids to be on the cover and Saraia was immediately chosen for her “personality and great smile”! They said the photographer was very impressed and said "she could be a star one day."

We need to get these kids out to Hollywood and score an early retirement!!!Mommy and Daddy are so proud of our little girl. Next stop America’s Next Top Model and a spread in Elle Magazine!!!

Mariah turns One!!!

We all had a great time at Kara’s house for Mariah’s first birthday. Kara was Daddy’s first boss, when we came to Jackson. The birthday girl was under the weather, but she was a still a great hostess and made an appearance. We all had a great time, catching up each other and talking about Kara’s new move to Kansas City, KS. Yes, we will all miss the Jackson’s in Jackson.

I think Saraia will especially miss Miles. Look at them here… just as cute as they wanna be!!

Long Weekend

It was a busy weekend for us as we had several events to attend, plus things to get done around the house. It all started Friday night at the Liberty HS Homecoming game. Liberty really looked good and came away with a big victory over Munford HS. Saraia and Langston had a good time again. Saraia mostly stayed with her ‘Nana’ and Langston wanted to hang with Mommy this time!

The next day we woke up early and got ready to go to Family Day. This is an annual event that P&G has for its employees and this year they rented out the entire Jackson Family Fun Center (bowling, skating, mini golf, batting cage, laser tag, go-karts, and video games). Needless to say we did pretty much everything we could do and stayed there almost all day. Everybody was pretty much wiped out, so we all took a quick nap.

After lunch we got ready to go out again, to Movies in the Park. This is something relatively new for Jackson and I hope they continue to do more of things like this. It is exactly what it says. Since the nights are so nice, ~70 degrees, the Park Commission is showing movies after dusk. Just grab a blanket or chairs and enjoy a good movie and great weather. Picnics are welcome, but they also have hot fresh pizza for sale, from a local restaurant. Langston loves the outside and was trying to get into everything. He stayed up the entire time. This was an easy night for bedtime… the kids couldn’t wait to get to sleep… neither could Mommy or Daddy!

Bear over Langston

Daddy and Saraia were being there silly selves one day in the car. Everyone was laughing and playing, when Daddy asked Saraia 'who do you love more Langston or Bear?' How or why Daddy came up with that, no one knows.

Asking a little 4-year old to choose between her life-long buddy and her newly acquired brother! But in classic Saraia form, she answered back boldly and to our amazement said ‘BEAR!’ Neither of us could believe it. When we asked ‘why’, she gave an explanation that made it all clear. ‘Bear is MY baby!’ In her eyes Bear is her responsibility, just like Langston is ours. It was so sweet!

Smile Factory

Langston has some new pearly whites, but he must be camera shy… I have been trying to get a full smile out him, but can’t get a good shot on film yet. I will keep trying, but as I was looking through my mistakes, these smiles just cracked me up!

JCS Fall Festival

Mommy and Daddy took the kids the Fall Festival being held at Saraia's school. They packed as much fun as you could into a school parking lot. They had Jumpers, Face Painting, Games and Prizes, Concessions (pretty good hot dogs BTW), and Magic Show. Even though it is the ‘Fall’ Festival, in Tennessee it is still sunny and +75 degrees outside.

Saraia of course linked up with her friends and had a blast!! Mommy was just trying to keep up and Langston and Daddy were plain old tired. Daddy took Langston home, while Mommy and Saraia stayed for the Magic Show. I guess they really were tired… this is how we found them!!!
