We've been going to Malad a lot the last few weekends to plant trees and build gates and a bunch of stuff like that on Forrest's parents property. We took our camper down there and parked it, so now we can go down and camp while we are there to do work! Jackson absolutely loves camping! It's perfect for him to just run around and wear himself out (that is until the snakes come out!) But he gets so excited when we go so we can sleep in our camper, ride the 4-wheelers, and drive Grandpa's tractor. It's fun to see him so excited.
Jackson also seems to be turning into a little man! The other day I was making dinner in the kitchen. Jackson had gotten in trouble over I don't know what, but after he got scolded by Forrest, Jackson turns to him and says, "Mommy's being naughty!" So Forrest asks him what I did. "She put her finger in the corn!" Which is true because I was checking to see if it was warm enough. I chuckled, and Forrest asked him if I needed to be spanked, to which he replied "Yes." So I got "spanked" for being "naughty". Jackson turns to me and spouts off, being completely serious, "Mommy! Go to your room and sit on your bed! Fold your arms! You're in time-out!" (pointing his finger at me and all). Forrest and I just started rolling! It was quite hilarious!
Another of his recent ramblings, "This is my freakin' dog Sierra!" I turned to Forrest and said, "Well, I guess you better stop saying that word!" I explained to Jackson that he shouldn't say that word. But it's kinda funny to hear him say it; he uses it in the most odd ways!
Oh, I almost forgot! We are proud to announce that Jackson has been binky free for 2 weeks! AMAZING! He was so attached to his binky, we thought it would be like pulling teeth to get him to wean off of it. One night, I decided to cut off the tip of his binky, gave it to him, he put it in his mouth, and immediately took it out. He said, "Mommy, it's broken. Fix it!" It was so sad! The first night it was tough to get him to go to sleep, but after that, he's done great! No more waking up in the middle of the night because he lost his binky. Hooray!
I've added some pictures of Jackson, some from Easter, and others of him just being goofy! Enjoy!
Coloring Easter eggs
He kept saying "Ooooo" to all the egg accessories. He had a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse coloring kit.
The egg hunt
I like this one. He was looking under the truck, but didn't even see the egg in the back of the truck!
Yeah, he actually tried to bite it. His mouth was blue for a while!
His crazy morning hair...
This one he said, "Look Mommy! I'm funny!"
Showing off with Daddy's hat.
