Happy Mother's Day to my Mom, Grandmas, and Great Grandmas

Hi everybody,

It's been a great spring and I have been enjoying the weather before the Texas summer kicks in. Lately, I've been really getting into school and learning a lot. I'm picking up new words every day. I have really taken an interest in cars, trucks, and busses, like many kids my age. Since March we have been hitting the crawfish circuits. It's still a little hot for me to eat but I like playing watching them crawl around before they get boiled.

I'll be starting water babies soon, just in time for summer and I'm looking forward to that. Other than school and naptime, I spend my days on wagon rides with Daddy or story time with Mommy. I'm really looking forward to Memaw Gail's visit this summer too.

So less than two months until my new baby brother arrives. I can't wait to meet him and show him all the fun stuff I have learned in the last 15 months. I hope to see all of you real soon, but most of all I wanted to wish everyone Happy Mother's Day. I love y'all.

P.S. Enjoy my new video

Jax from November to March 2009...

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. There has been so much going on and so much to fill you in on. The last time I posted I was just beginning to walk, but it didn't take long before I was running full speed ahead.

Since my last update I had a fun 3 months which included my first Thanksgiving, my first Christmas, and My first Birthday Party. I spent Thanksgiving at my Aunt Karen's in Atlanta with Memaw and my cousins Jake and Caleb as well. Mom and Dad filled the rest of the family in on me getting a little brother soon.

Right around thanksgiving I started walking and haven't looked back. Shortly after I started learning and saying my first words. Ball, Mama, and Dada all popped out early and I'm learning more every day. I had to spend a couple of days in the hospital in early December because I caught a little parasite when I went down to the beach that went undetected. I bounced back quickly though after a few rough weeks.

For Christmas, I went to Kerrville to visit Great Grandma Patsy, and Great Grandpa Paul. I got a lot of great new toys that I will surely play with for a long time. A big thank you to all who thought of me.

I didn't slow down in January either. I had a rockin' first birthday with a lot of my friends and a ton of Mommy and Daddy's friends over. I had a Winnie the Pooh cake just like Daddy said he had on his first birthday, although, I didnt step in mine. :)

Well I'm just waiting for it to warm up so we can get outside and play. In the meantime, check out my new video...

Jax Crawls through fall and walks into winter

Hi everyone... There's been a lot going on lately. My first Horns season is turning out to be a good one. Hopefully the media will have the sense to keep us above OU since we took care of them like a dirty diaper in October.

Besides that we went down to the beach for a nice weekend getaway and some music. I got to dip my toesies in the ocean for the first time. I also went on a walk in honor of my late grandpa Michael. Also, I have been living it up at school and meeting lots of new friends.

But the big news is I have taken my first steps. Yeah I still crawl when I need to get somewhere fast, but I am taking more and more steps each day. When I am walking all the time I get to move up to the big kids class at school so I am psyched to get back with some of my old friends. I like my classmates now too, but most of them are still working on tummy time while it does make for a captive audience, I am ready to chase the bigger kids.

So the holidays are fast approaching. I get to finally meet my Aunt Karen and see my Memaw and my cousins Caleb and Jake this week so I am super psyched about that. Hopefully my first plane ride will go well I also can't wait to see my first of many many wins over the hapless Aggies this week. Go Colt! Should be a lot of fun. Hopefully I'll see the rest of you for Christmas. Feel free to come see me anytime just tell Mommy and Daddy you're coming.

I almost forgot, I whipped up this video for ya to check out what I've been up to the past few months. Talk to you soon. Hook Em!

Hook Em JAX!!!

Turn up your speakers and check out Jax's new video from the Horns game and other pics from the last month...

Jax Takes in his first Longhorn experience

I probably should have waited, but on Jax's second day of life of the outside, I told him about the Horns late season collapse last year and being relegated to another insignificant Holiday Bowl. (See reaction shot on the right) Like any good fan though, he pulled it together and began looking to next season where his pulling for the Horns could have a bigger impact.


On Saturday, September 20th, Jax got his first DKR experience when we took him down to tailgate for the Rice game. Since it was a 6pm kickoff and Jax's bedtime is 7:30, he didn't hang out for the whole game, but he can't wait to spend his fall Saturdays cheering on the Horns.

In other news Jax turned 8 months recently and he has been showing the beginnings of letting go for a few seconds while standing. We're thinking he could be walking pretty soon. Other than that he is digging the transition to real food, just like his daddy he loves mac and cheese and all kinds of fruits. Last week he got in some quality time with Grandma Janis who watched him while Daddy and Mommy were at Austin City Limits Fest. Jax will definitely be in tow next year to check out ACL but he had to sit this one out this year. Jax attended last years fest in utero.

NOTE: Be sure and subscribe over on the left if you want to get notified when we update the blog. We will only post once or twice a month in most cases so if you want to hear from Jax let him know. We won't be sending separate update emails. Take care everyone!
