Jackson's Birthday!

Over the weekend, we celebrated our littlest baby turning 11!

Looking back at the pictures of Jackson from the day he was born, makes it even harder to believe that it was 11 years ago.

To celebrate, we went to Medieval Times--one of his favorite places!

Then, on Sunday, his actual birthday, he opened presents as soon as he woke up!

Even though he's 11, he will always be our baby!

Jackson's Last Day of School

Jackson's last day of school was May 21st.  We were out of town with Sarah at the time, so I took pictures of them as if it was their last day, before we left.

This was Jackson on his first day of school.

This is him after an amazing 5th grade year!

He not only grew taller, but he has glasses now!  He ended the year being awarded for A/B Honor Roll!

Love him!

 

The kiddos on their first day of school.

Their last day of school...and their last school picture together.  I cannot.

Prom

About a month ago, Sarah had prom.  She was so excited because prom last year was cancelled.

Beautiful.

All the girls came to our house to get ready, and then we took several pictures of them!

Galveston

A couple of months ago, we took a road trip to Galveston, a place that we've been to more times than we can count.  It's the first place we went on vacation when Sarah was a baby, when we couldn't afford to go anywhere else, but we keep going back because it holds a place in our hearts.

The house we rented had an amazing view of the private beach that was just a few yards away.  It was beautiful.

Jackson loves the water.

One of the things we always do is go for a walk along the pier, and we always take this picture.

Always.

I love recreating these pictures because you can really see how much the kids have grown and changed.

      

   

One of my new favorite pictures of Jackson.

We even attempted to recreate this one!  He's just a little bit bigger now.

And we always stop at our favorite ice cream shop--

at least a couple of time!

He's my favorite.

I loved just watching their conversation!

 

He would live in the ocean if he could.

   

  

This boy.

This girl.

This hunk.

In addition to spending time at the beach, we also love to just hang out together at the house.

Game night is a must on every trip!

As usual, we had the best time being together at the beach!
