We had our pictures taken at the beach last Wednesday. The photographer, Becky Breedlove, did an awesome job! Jackson is VERY difficult to photograph and actually get a picture of him smiling; she managed to get 2 AWESOME pictures of him smiling. Just beautiful pictures altogether. The two above are just a little snippit of the wonderful pictures -- hopefully it'll entice you enough to take a peak at all the others in the link below.
Here is the link to the pics:

I would upload them all but there are 54 of them and it would take a very long time. Becky gave us full copyrights to the photos so I have uploaded them to mpix, selected our sizes for each picture and just received an email that they are shipping out this evening. I ordered plenty for each family member!! Of course, if someone has a special request, I can always order more!!
My birthday was on Sunday, Jackson's birthday was on Monday and Haleigh's was on Wednesday. Very busy and very crazy! Our babysitter was out of town this week so my parents kept the kiddos this week. Dan & I stayed there a good majority of the week but I still had a 45 minute commute to work and back. AND, on Monday & Thursday, I headed back to our house in Chesapeake to stay the night....so that was another 45 minutes. Lots of driving, lots of celebrating but I am 100% exhausted! So, we are laying low this weekend and letting the kids rest. They never sleep at Mimi & Pee-Paw's because they have so much fun!
Jackson did have an awesome birthday. He received so many presents that we actually held off on giving him all of them on his birthday because he was just so overwhelmed. He didn't know where to begin!! So, we gave him a toy motorized tractor on Sunday (the day before his birthday), a few various gifts (mainly remote controlled tractors and dump trucks, bubble blowers, sandbox toys, etc.) on his birthday and then Mimi & Pee-Paw gave him their gift on Wednesday. I gave him Play-doh and such on Thursday and we finally have one more gift (a Thomas the Train set) to give. Maybe we will give that to him soon or wait until Christmas. Can I just tell you that he blew out Haleigh's birthday candle AND kept trying to unwrap her gifts? He was becoming such a pro at opening gifts and had become so accustomed to opening gifts, he didn't understand why it wasn't for him!
I can say that I am sick of cake and icing. If I see another cake, BLAH! 3 cakes in 4 days is ENOUGH! But, in just another week and a half, it's Dan's birthday. 5 days after that, it's Jerry's birthday (at the beach). So, it's more cake....I have a feeling I'll somehow be up for cake again by then!!:>)
In a few days, I'll post a bunch of our birthday pictures. I may do it tomorrow, just depends on how much time I have. But they are coming and coming soon! Also, a few pics of Dan flying in the F-18 Superhornet as well. Jackson, Audrey & I went out today to see him practicing his landings and I took a few pics. So, the next update....be prepped for tons of pix!!
Until then.....
