Spring is definately here and that means one of my all time favorite things....planting our garden! Last year Jackson absolutely loved going down to the garden every morning to see how much our plants had grown and to pick any fruit that was ripe. By his enthusiasm during planting the garden, I think he is going to enjoy it just as much! This year we added another box so that we could have an entire box dedicated to just tomatoes. In our original box, we have green beans, cucumbers, green peppers, watermelon, cantelope, rosemary, basil, and parsley. I am most excited about the green beans this year and hope we get a lot! This is our original box, thanks to Uncle Joe!!
Here is Jackson with the new box. Joe, you will be happy to know that Greg followed your specifications!!
My sweet Beckett. I cannot believe we have been blessed with this little boy for the last 4 months. He continues to be the sweetest, most content little boy. He has now been sleeping through the night 7:00 to 7:00 for the past 1 1/2 months. He is really starting to use his hands and is trying to put everything in his mouth! At his 4 month visit, he came in at 24 inches long! In 4 short months, he has grown almost 8 inches!! We are still on the regular newborn chart, but just barely around the 5th percentile for weight, but we moved up to the 15th percentile in length and the 25th in head circumference!! Slowly but surely we are making progress! Developmentally, he has caught up completely, so we were given the okay to try some oatmeal. We tried it once and he seemed to enjoy it, so we will keep going! We have made it through the first 2 set of bad vaccines and Beckett breezed right through them. He continues to be our little iron man miracle baby!!
It was so cute to see Jackson helping daddy till the ground for he garden. You can see he used his foot to push the shovel into the dirt.
My strong boy then lifted the dirt up.
Finally, dropped it! He is such a big helper and continues to want to do everything by himself!! He is also 99% potty trained. It was a tough road but we knew he could do it!!
Zoo crew! We went to the zoo to enjoy this beautiful spring weather and the kids had an absolute blast running around looking at all the animals!
It's not easy to try to get a photo of all the kids, but we tried!
My sweet friend Angie with my little man.
Bumbo time! Beckett definately wants to be sitting up observing all the action around him!
Still trying to suck that thumb!!
My little miracle! We all love him so much and cannot describe what a blessing he has been to our family! Jackson loves to make him laugh and is always talking about all the things he and Beckett are going to do when he is older! I so love to see their friendship already forming! I have such an amazing bond with my sisters and hope that they will have a similar relationship!!
What an amazing Easter weekend! I don't think we could have packed anymore excitement into it if we tried!! It all started with brave Anna, who decided to have some friends over to decorate Easter eggs. They all had the best time and did a great job! Miraculously her kitchen table survived the event!!
Jackson loved to scoop the eggs up and place them into the carton.
It didn't take long for Jackson to figure out that they were eggs that could actually be eaten!! Yummy!
The finished product. They all did such a great job!!
Best buds waiting for Easter egg hunt!
He found a nest full of eggs!
He just couldn't wait to open them up and sample the delicious treat inside!!
After the Easter egg hunt, they had a cookout with Jackson's favorite....hotdogs! It was so cute to watch all the kids sit on the bench eating!!
All the kids then lined up to check out what they got!! I have to say, Jackson had the largest Easter basket by far. I ordered it online, and had no idea it was so big! He did pretty good but at one point he did tip over his basket and lose his eggs. Luckily all the kids were very sweet and helped him fill it back up!
The Easter bunny came to the Nesmith house!
Jackson was so excited to find his Easter basket!
The Easter bunny sure was good this year! Jackson was very excited about his new towel and can't wait to use it at Noni's beach.
All smiles on his first Easter!
Matching bunny shirts! You can tell Jackson was less than thrilled to pose for this picture!!
We were so excited that not only did we get to meet Coraline, but also met my cousin Jason's first daughter Ella. She has the biggest blue eyes you have ever seen!
Sweet sisters :)
Cousins playing at the park :)
Beach time! Jackson had so much fun playing in the sand at the beach. It was a little windy, but they had the best time!
Aunt Elizabeth misses all of them all ready!!
We miss you Aunt Sarah! We had the best time and can't wait until you guys come and visit us in Atlanta!!
