NJR : (not jackson related) Momma needs a moment.

This has been one heck of a week.

I have the "other blog" to be serious on.

I needed to have a serious moment.

You can check it out if you wish.

and just because,

a picture to keep you smiling.

Longest First Haircut Post Ever

It was time. The baby fuzzy hair was starting to get to be to much.

See?

This is the "Mom, I just got out of the shower. No pictures now" face.

Don't get me wrong. I love that fuzz but, We are going to see a certain big guy that wears red next weekend. So we thought it was time for the first hair cut.

I asked a few mom's and Salon Red Kids came highly recommended.

If any of you are in Ga and looking for a precious kids hair cut experience.

I highly recommend them.

Nanny Pam and I headed up with Jackson this morning and he did great. I won't lie.

Tears were shed but, driving the car was enough distraction to make it fun for him in the end.

Ok, now on to the good stuff...

First moments, checking it out.

Alright , this is fun!
O.k it was fun till this lady started messing with me.

(don't worry CC, only crying picture)

See all better

What are you doing back there?

I'm trying to drive.
Blurry, but that's a smile.

How cute is this!

Last snip. :)
Look at my big man's new style!
So cute and big boy.
In the end it was a success!
Thanks Nanny for taking such great pics!

What fall looks like at our house

We have had some gorgeous weather this weekend.

I love that in Georgia we really get to experience all four seasons.

So this is what fall looks like at our house.

Enjoy.

This may be one of my favorite pictures ever.

Sweet Man.

The Radio Flyer is Daddy's from when he was Jackson's age.

It is almost 30 years old.

My sweet boys

Love this.

Pumpkins Revealed and Halloween Pics

Yes, it's November 4th and I am just posting these.

Hey at least it's not Thanksgiving. :)

We carved out pumpkins this year at mom and dad's.

It's a serious family tradition to us.

See.

(MommaRa circa 1983.)

Everyone gets their own pumpkin to carve as they wish.

Here are some pics from our night.

Jackson was not as excited to clean out the guts as mommy was when she was little.

Maybe next year.

Mommy's Pumpkin can you tell what it says?

I "custom made" my stencil.
Hard at work...
Look at the concentration
Yayy for the Pumpkin's 09.

{Can you tell the one I did}
So yayy for Pumpkins.

Then onto Halloween Night.

It Rained, and rained and rained some more.

Ugh, Jackson didn't get to Trick or Treat last year because he was having breathing issues. So this year we were so hopeful we would get to go out. The rain had a brief break and off we went with some friends. We only made it to about 5 houses but, Jackson loved it! He was smiling at the people and pointing at the candy. It was so cute and we are hopeful next year he will be walking and the weather will behave.

Getting Ready for Jackson's first Trick or Treating Ever...

It was at...
Nanny Pam's House!

Check out her face! I love how excited people were to see him.
Happy Halloween 09.

The Singing Card.

You know the cards. They have 100 different ones at every store. They sing cheesy boy band songs, songs about love, about missing you, happy birthday in kitty cat voices and they sing...

"The Monster Mash"

Thanks Lala who knew the mash could be hours of fun.

Nana's and the Pumpkin Patch

We headed up to Nana and Grandpa's this weekend. the leaves are really starting to change and they are so pretty. I just love fall. It was Nana's birthday this past week so we headed on up to spend some time. Here are some pictures from our stay.

Helping Nana read her card
and of corse the slide!

We always have the best time up there.

On Sunday we headed out to Burt's Pumpkin Farm in North Ga. It is so beautiful up there and the pumpkins are huge. This year we did the hay ride and it was so much fun. Some friends from home came and met us up there so we made quite the day out of it. Since we are making this a tradition I have to show off this year and last...
