Turning One...

Today is Kylies 4th Birthday!! I can hardly believe four years ago today we waited 20 hours at Providence, poor Jess was in labor for 18 hours then they finally decided to do an emergency c-section! Kylie, you were well worth the wait!

Today Dan and I stole her out of preschool for ten minutes to bring her a birthday donut! She loved it and made the biggest mess ever! :) Momma Jackson, I asked her if she opened any presents this morning and she said "Oh yes, one from Linda and Bill, it was a purse and it was soooo fabulous!" Dan and I couldn't stop laughing.

On the way back into her school I asked her not to touch anything cuz she was covered in blue icing and we needed to get to the bathroom to wash her up. We are starting to go down the stairs and I reached to hold her arm so she wouldn't fall since she couldn't use her nasty blue fingers to hold on to the rail and I heard a whisper. "Manda, I am four years old, you don't have to hang on to me down the stairs." I about died laughing again.

Kylie, you are wonderful and I wish nothing but the best for you. I love you so much, I can't wait to see just what kind of girl you grow up to be.

Love Aunt Manda and Uncle Dan

Smooches

A stingray petting Dan...

The Woods getting ready to be pet by the stingrays

We got to take a trip home to St. Louis Tues-Thurs and it was AWESOME! Tuesday we celebrated Dad's Day at Gianino's and it was oh so tasty. Wed it was off to Hooters for dinner, then to the Cards game! Go Cards, they totally won! Thursday was our last day and we spent 4 hours walking in the smoldering heat of 95 with a heat advisory for the day! :) The best part of the Zoo was the new exhibit, petting the stingrays. In actuality they pet us. All you had to do was put your hand in the water and the flocked to it and rubbed on it like they were cats and dogs. It was the coolest thing ever. After the zoo we had to head back home. It was such a fun few days, thanks Momma and Papa Jackson for such a great time. Thanks Justin for letting us crash Wed and all the fun! Thanks Tim for going with us to the game, it was good to see ya! And of course thanks to the Woods for a great time too! If Stevie-poo has to go to the Lou for business next year we must plan our Lou trip again!

Just a few of our fur kids....

He looks so regal sometimes...it's hilarious

After a long run...

Stretchin after a nap...

Trial run of George listening to us off lead....

Just a few shots of our crazy fur kids. We let George run his little heart out at my parents since we have such a tiny yard. Yeah, we left the leash on him at first, just incase he didn't listen and decided to run off, we had something to get closer to him to step on! He did amazing and stayed with us so we took it off of him later. Will not chase a ball for the life of him, very odd. Just loves to run back and forth to me and Dan.  

On our outdoor grilling night with the Woods a few weeks ago Louie was in HEAVEN. He kept rolling alll over in the grass that night, and no not in stinky things, he was just havin fun. Needless to say he did get a bath the second we walked in the door due to my allergies.

We are off to St. Louis bright and early tuesday morning, Trishy is going with us too...might have a good story for ya when we get back....

Tues night we are celebrating Father's Day with Dad and Mom Jackson and grilling out. Wed we are going to the Cardinals game with Justin, Tim and the Wood's and Momma Holt are meeting us there too!! Thurs off to the zoo with the entire gang again. Should be lots of fun, excited to see fam and friends and very excited the Woods and Momma Holt are gonna be in the fun too! Have a good week everyone!

Getting our groove on...

Wow, what a way to ring in the 30's!! Me and Mel celebrated our step into the 30's with a 60's themed party! It was such a good idea and tons of fun.  We had 60's beer and Sangria to drink, along with some tasty munchies.  Our cake was a ginormous brownie that was oh so tasty made by Momma Maynard, thanks mom! We spent the evening sipping on a few drinks, dancing and catching up with everyone. Thanks to all that came, and we missed you guys who couldn't be there! 

Our great 60's look was by my sissy Jess, thanks so much for all the time you spent on our hair and makeup, you totally made our outfits! Love ya bunches.

Mel has a FANTASTIC group shot, so refer to her blog for more cute pics....

Happy 6th Birthday Chewybear!

Our bday boy

Our rabid bday boy....

Mmmmm caaaake

Our Chewybear turned 6 on May 23rd!! We got him his own cake and let him eat the entire thing! It was tiny of course and gone in like three bites. As you can see in the second pic, he was REALLY into it! lol He ate it so fast it was hilarious. He wasn't really attacking Dan's hand, it just looks like it because I took so many shots so fast while he was eating it and got that hilarious one!! Yeah and I am a retard, totally forgot to put on the bday hat for the pic. 

This bday was so special for us because we did not think he would last this long. He has surprised us all, including the vet! He still limps and is on pain meds occasionally but overall he is doing so much better than we all thought!!! Happy Bday Chewy, I hope we get to spend another one with you next year biggin!
