Happy 1st Birthday, Jackson Luke!!

This post has LOTS of pictures. It's a special post for a special little boy!

We had Jackson's party a few days ago, but today is his actual birthday. This little boy has brought such joy to our family over the past year. He has the cutest personality and the ability to warm your heart in an instant.

Jackson, Uncle Alex wrote this prayer just for you...

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the generations of faithful disciples that you have given to Jackson Luke as his heritage. I ask that as he becomes aware of Your presence, he would submit to you as Lord and follow you all the days of his life. I ask that you would bless Jackson in this life and that he would grow up into a mighty man of God. Thank you for your Word and the Life that it contains. I ask that as Jackson reads it, You would write it on his heart so that he would learn to fear you and obey your perfect will for his life. I ask that you would allow him to pass a heritage of faith on to his children and their children. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.

Jackson Luke...

I just have to post a couple of pics of my boy, Jackson. He came over to stay for a bit and as always, warmed his Aunt Jill's heart. Mommy forgot his toys and surprisingly, Aunt Jill doesn't really have a lot of toys at her house, so we pulled out the pots and pans! It's so funny what will keep them entertained. I tell Cary all of the time, that he's going to be a drummer. He bangs on everything and has pretty good rhythm for an 11 month old! The last one cracks me up...looks like he's posing. I wish my brother and S-I-L would let me keep him.






Oh, and I cut my hair off. Lost atleast 6 inches. I feel like I have NO HAIR ON MY HEAD. It's nice.



Love to all,
Jill

TGIF...

I'm so happy it's Friday! We've had a busy week. The first part of the week, I spent preparing for Journey Thanksgiving, which was on Wednesday. It was so much fun! The food was good and the company was even better...

Me and my sweetie.

I went to high school with these two sweet girls! When we get together, we seem to do nothing but laugh at each other! I'm so glad they came!

My little buddy, Jackson. :)

Cary and Sara are moving this weekend, so we have Jackson tonight...here are a few pics from tonight during/after bathtime...he's so precious.

I almost forgot, we went to see these guys last night...it was a great concert. Thanks to my Uncle Kev and Aunt Sandi for the tickets!

Well, I could write more but I'm tired and according to my S-I-L, Jackson gets up around 5am, so I had better get some sleep. :)

Have a great weekend!

Love to all,
Jill
