CHERRY HILL

It was Erica's birthday a couple weeks ago so a group of us went to Cherry Hill to celebrate! I really love it there, we had a blast!

Jayjoe enjoying his first trip to Cherry Hill

mama Carol, Carter and Bethay (can you believe that she is pregnant? She is SO tiny!)

I feel really bad that we didn't get any photos of Nick Wood! He was there, he is just the one that always takes all the photos! He does a great job and we seriously have SO many pics (too many of me!) We need more Nick - I'm going to try really hard to do better!

4th of July Wood Style

I think this was probably one of the best 4ths of July ever. We had so much fun all weekend. Sometimes we spend the holiday at Bear Lake, but I think with all the cool things going on around here we might make some new traditions.

Friday

Breakfast at Chris & Michelles Falks with all of our NAI buds. Awesome French toast and so fun.
Swimming at Grandpa Gordon’s all afternoon
Eaglewood Fireworks!! – my new favorite. Watching the fireworks on the golf course with friends and fam. There are tons of food vendors (cotton candy, snow cones), giant blow up toys, and a live band. It is always so fun, and Jacks snuggled up to me and watched them too.

Saturday

Kaysville Parade – watched my cute family drive Nick’s hot rod truck. It was awesome because it was overcast and perfect weather. JackJack loved the necklaces that we caught.
Big nap at home!!
BBQ at papa Bob and mama Carols house. We had awesome food as usual. Steak, corn on the cob, strawberry shortcake etc etc. It is always fun hanging around in the yard with all the kids and playing Ladder Ball.

Davis High Fireworks

Here comes Trouble!

Happy Birthday JackJack!

My little bub is growing up What our little guy has been up to:

He loves music and claps bounces and has a great twisty move he does.
Talks a lot! Says : ball, bah bah, da da, ma ma, “tch dow” (touch down), “cruble” (trouble), yeah, uh oh, bye bye, “bird – ah”, quack, quack, go go go
Shakes his head no, waves hi and bye bye, and puts arms up for touch down
Loves to eat and will eat about anything! Especially cheese, noodles, peaches etc
Signs more and all done.
Turbo crawls, stands, pushes toys around room, stands alone, walks while holding one hand
Plays catch – throws ball and catches it! Loves balls
Loves Trouble tries to chase and grab him
Likes to “get you” - he does a high pitched battle cry and charges, then jumps on you
Really loves playing with his cousins and already has wrestling matches with them. Such a boy!
Still sleeps great! All night and 1-2 naps. Sometimes he will sleep until 10:30, mama is SO spoiled!
8 teeth – 4 on top and bottom
Books it up the stairs, but doesn’t always know how to go down
Gets into everything! Loves to pull things out of cupboards/drawers!

Monkey Birthday

So I have been such a nerd about Jackson’s birthday. I got super pumped and went a little over board. Hopefully one day he can look back at the photos and appreciate it. He would have been happy with a cupcake and a balloon. But I feel like it is kind of a celebration of our family having our first wonderful year with him – and that deserves a party right?

So we had a vintage sock monkey BBQ with our families and lots of little cousins. Monkeys and bananas were everywhere. Monkey birthday cake, cupcakes, piñata, frozen chocolate banana pops, banana splits etc. Jacks was a sock monkey for Halloween and I guess it kind of stuck with me! He reminds me of a monkey with his big round eyes!

It was a really nice day so we hung out in the back yard for cake, presents and the piñata. Jackson seemed to really love hanging out with everyone and was really happy almost the entire time. He did get mad and start to cry when the cake was just out of his reach before we sang to him. That kid is serious about his food!! Jacks got so many fun presents and got really spoiled - THANKS everyone! We are so grateful that we have our awesome families near by and really appreciate those that came!
