One Week

We must be doing something right because Grant is 1 week old today!

It's so amazing to think that he's been with us this long already. MELT MY HEART! I love getting this great big smile from him. It makes all my tired and overwhelmed feelings just go away (at least for a moment).

Grant Stanley Jackson

February 20thBorn on my Grandpa Stan's Birthday
Thus the middle name
He has a DIMPLE on his right cheek!


He makes lots of little bird noises. He even makes bird faces.
Note the "owl" expression above.

He loves to be held and makes the sweetest faces while he's sleeping.

Mommy & Daddy are so happy to have him here.

Valentine's Day

We went to the Phoenix Botanical Gardens on Valentine's Day. They have really cool glass sculptures on display right now throughout the gardens. These are some of our favorites.

This sculpture is hanging from the ceiling. It looks like a Christmas tree hanging upside down.

This is a boat full of glass balls.

This is my Valentine. Isn't he handsome?!

So we did LOTS of walking that night. I could barely walk by the end (crazy hips!).

I'll have that well done, please.

This is our tiny little nephew, Ryan. Keith's oldest sister had him 7 1/2 weeks early. I guess he just wanted get here before his cousin. I can't even imagine how small he is in real life, but he didn't even weigh 4 pounds when he was born. He's doing great. It's amazing to see new pictures of him every few days and he just keeps looking better and better. We are so excited that he made it here safely. Can't wait to see him!

Our boy is due TODAY! He's probably not coming today, but that's okay. It just means that he'll be well done when he does come.

Passing Time

Enjoying the beautiful evening on the putting range Thursday night. It was such a warm day- it was amazing that I could be out there in the evening without a jacket! I love Arizona winters!

Baby Shower

Two weekends ago was the baby shower.  It was so much fun!  The weather was perfect that day, so we were able to have it in the beautiful backyard of my friend Lynn.  My friend Shari took great pictures to document the occasion (THANK YOU SHARI!).  Here's just a few of them.

This is Shari and I.  We're finally expecting babies at the same time.  Her little boy is due at the end of March.  It'll be fun to have boys the same age.

These cute sheperd hooks lined the walkway up to the front door.

Pretty table.

Beautiful backyard for a party!

It was fun to decorate in spring colors and tiny ducks.

really fun present that Stephanie got us.

Great find Stephanie!  It's perfect for our future golfer!  Keith thinks it's the best thing ever!
