One Thing.

ONE THING that will always make you happy. 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend. 

5 about 11 months

Hello Lovies. Can you believe it, 11 months.

 Where does the time go. 

As usual I have some precious pictures to share and 

our top five favorite things about 11 months.

1. Words.

 Dad, Mom mom, Up, Bye  bye, and one more that gets a number all it self. :)

Jackson is such a chatter box and while most of the time it is just babbles or repeating what he hears us say (like the other day when Dad told us he was leaving and I said Ok, and he oh so casually said "K" then looked away.) he is full of things to say. There are about 5 words that he uses in context and often. It is so cute!

2. B.I.B.L.E thats the book for me.

This is a song the kids at church sing and love. At the end, if you don't know the words you scream "BIBLE". About 2 or 3 weeks ago he really got into it jumping up and down and laughing.  So for fun we started singing it ALL THE TIME at home. I kid you not (and I promise to catch it with the flip) now when we sing it he says "Bibl" no E. 

3. Price tags and Plastic cups.

All the toys in the world and my child would much rather play with price tags and cups. He loves them and cries when we are in the store and clothes tags pass him by. Give him a Plastic cup and he is a happy man. Guess that makes him easy to please? ;)

Crossing his feet is also a Jackson thing.

4. Two finger eating and more teeth.

Jackson has mastered the two finger picking up of food. Yay Jackson! 

We were so excited this month with the cutest two finger pinching, he started feeding himself. This opens up doors upon doors of food options. Also his other top tooth came in. So he has three on top, two on bottom. Little man is growing up so fast. He will be eating sushi with chop sticks before we know it.

5. Faken' Bacon... the fake cry.

Mr Jackson has the cutest bad habit ever! I am sure I will pay greatly for giggling when he does this at some point. He can break it out in a split second and put it away just as fast. When someone walks past him he wants or I am talking on the phone. Oh the faces he can give.  

This started this month and is so funny. 

Here let me show you a few of these now famous faces...

I can not believe that in a month we will have a ONE YEAR OLD! Crazy, crazy.

New Name and a Rainbow.

You will still find my blog at the same address but, for sometime

 I have wanted to change the name. 

I mean yep i'm Momma Ra but, this is about life not me.

 So I saw this quote and heard "Dun du dun". 

(Did you just hear the horns sound. ;)   

Now this...

"The work will wait while you show a child the rainbow

 but, the rainbow won't wait while you work."

Patricia Clafford

We rushed outside when daddy called us

It went completely over the house.

Thanks Daddy

Jackson's first Rainbow!

Wordless Wednesday

Mother's Day.

It is the most wonderful thing in the universe to be a mom. The joy is overwhelming. 

My first picture as a mom! 

Almost an "outside mommy"

LOVE

This face

My sweet babies. 

Jackson you didn't just make me a "mom mom"

You made us a family, for that I am so thankful.

I am so thankful for all of the "Mom's" in my life, at home (I have an amazing mom), church, the ones I married into, and friends. You all have touched my life in more ways than you will ever know. It is an honor to join the rankings of such amazing women. 

Happy Mothers Day

Singing fun. Mean teeth.

Oh my sweet baby loves to sing. 

I mean Jackson can get down with the best of them. 

Want proof. Watch the video.

(turn up the volume!)

Big Sissy (Marah), Brookie, Kristen, and Hannah singing along.
This child loves an audience 
Especially when they are girls!

 Sweet man is really struggling with the newest of top teeth. Tonight he cried the hardest I have ever seen him. Ugh, nothing is worse than not being able to make it stop hurting. No fear, he is now fast asleep in bed. Sleep came harder than normal but he is OUT. I'm sure the teeth and his singing bit wore him out.  Growing teeth while becoming a rock star. 

Hey, that's a lot of work for such a small baby.

Cute Money and Technicolor Bub's

Oh the things you can make on the internet. Someone should really make this picture. Look how cute he is in techicolor. 

Mommy's Baby

So this momma is NOT a "dirt" kind of girl. Now give me sand and surf and I'm all in. 

Brian  Daddy on the other hand is all about playing in the dirt. 

Well, we took some pictures for a certain someone's birthday invitation that is coming up. I won't share "the one" but, OH my goodness it is cuteness at it's finest. You will have to wait for the invite to see... 

BUT. 

( I got off subject, sorry )

When we put Jackson on the blanket to take some shoots.

 I'll let you be the judge, but this baby is so Momma's Boy. 

Just sayin'
