Summer is Finally Here!

Brady and I went to the temple and luckily ran into our friends Kylee and Dave.
We picked up Jackson from the airport and we all were 
pretty excited to have him for the beginning of his summer!

video of him reading his "yearbook"

There was a lot of swimming.

He set up some bowling that we did for hours


Brady's family came down for the weekend to see Jackson play baseball.
We first went down to Manhattan Beach, Brady had to work, but then brought back Cafe Rio and acai bowls.




Brenda and Greg are so sweet to love to watch Jackson do things.

We hurried over to his baseball game.

My littlest brother Blake came up to see him play so Jackson was on cloud 9.  
It was his last baseball game.




My sister-in-law Linds made this for us.
It was their wedding/anniversary gift to us.  
Its the lyrics Brady sang to me on our wedding day.
Its a tradition in our family for the grooms to sing to their brides that Mitch started.

Our anniversary was June 1st, so we spent it with Brady's family.
We went to church, then out to eat at P.F. Changs and then played baseball at the fields.





Monday we went to the Nielsen's hotel for Jackson to swim more and we had lunch at a BBQ place.  After they left, Jackson wanted to swim even more.







We went down to San Clemente to hang out on the beach with the Brady's. 
They found sand crabs all afternoon.  

More swimming pictures
We had Griffin come over again!
Brady finished our table and I love it!  We ordered new chairs and am so glad everything worked out.

More swimming!
I had some cramping and miscarried.  It was so sad, but all was well.

We went back to the pool later!

The next day we went to a kids play museum in Pasadena.  Jackson really liked all the science experiments and the bugs.



We made catapults at their craft experiment area.

He was very adamant about carrying me around on his bike!
As if we were the Romans

Sure loving this boy!
Even if he gets wet without warning.


When Brady had time off, we went down to San Clemente so Jackson could play
Brady and Jackson swam laps for hours until all of his buddies came down from the two streets above the clubhouse.












I took Jackson to San Clemente State Beach to surf and hang out with Drew's family that was in town.  We also met up with some of my friends Wendy and her babes.  Then later we saw Jessica with her twins and Gavyn - busy day!




The next day we went to Disneyland!  





The main artist at Disneyland knows Jackson because we have gone to so many of his classes so he made a personalized drawing on his lunch break for Jackson of Tarzan (sorry the picture is so blurry)
Isn't that the sweetest? He was so stoked

Tower of Terror!



We left the day tired, holding hands, Jackson telling me how he likes my hair and doesn't like me wearing makeup and telling me how much he loved the day.  



We only had a few more days together, we decided to really do a few more things that would be fun!

It was little Row's birthday party upstairs.  We celebrated her turning three with a mermaid cat party!
They were so sweet o get Jackson a bubble machine too for their little family party.







We went to the park to play for a bit and then I picked up his 
friends Emma and Ryder for some rollerskating!


It was Jackson's first time rollarskating and he didn't think it was that easy.
He was actually a bit tired and frustrated until they started playing fun music which gave him a free drink for his dancing.  After that, it was so much fun.  They loved hanging out and it was as if I was a fly on the wall which was okay with me as long as they were having fun. 





The Time came... and we had to bring sweet Jackers to the airport.
It was so sad, he was sad, he had tears and didn't want to leave.

Until next time Mister, next time.
