Florida with Daddy

A few weeks ago Josh and Jackson flew to Florida for the weekend.  They stayed with Josh's aunt in Melbourne and Jackson got to do some really fun things. He went fishing off the pier and off the beach.  He also got to go on an airboat ride and hold a little alligator.  So cool!  The highlight of his trip (and the reason for going) was going to see the Orlando Magic play on Sunday afternoon.  Jackson is a huge basketball fan so it was a dream come true to go see an NBA game.  They played the Lakers which made it even cooler in my opinion.  I'm so glad Jackson gets special time with his Daddy.  It also gave me special time with Morgan.  We went shopping all day and then had pedicures.  It was her first pedicure and she thought it was fabulous!

Craft Day with Gran

My mom invited Morgan to a Craft Day in Norris.  Morgan goes to Craft Camp there every year and spends the week with  my mom.  They had a special Craft Day a few weeks ago and Mom invited Morgan and told her to bring a friend.  Her friend Josie does an after school knitting class with her so since they were going to knit she decided to invite Josie.  They spent the afternoon learning to knit with straws, ate chocolate and made some other crafts as well.  I'm so glad Morgan gets to do special things like this with her grandmother.

Jackson's 8th Birthday

My sweet boy turned 8 on Dec. 31, 2010. I can't believe he is 8 years old.  He loves all things related to sports.  He watches ESPN on a daily basis and can name every college team and its mascot.  He knows names of professional players and stats on them.  He wanted a basketball party this year. He only wanted to get his friends together and play basketball for hours.  So, that's what we did.  We had a Celtics cake made and he wore his Celtics jersey.  It was exactly what he wanted!
