While in Prescott, jackson got his first hair cut. He really needed one, but no whe looks so much older. It took four of us to manage. Mikelle cut, Grandma Halterman held Jackson and Bobby and Kristin took pictures and video. It was funny, and Jackson only protested a little. 

For the past few weeks Jackson and Mikelle have been in Prescott helping paint Grandma's Game Room. It looks great! Bobby joined them for Memorial Day weekend, and had fun moving furniture back. Jackson loved the handtruck. Riding on it and pushing it. He is 100% boy!

Here we are at Barry and Kendra's house. Jackson and Tessa love rides in this tonka truck. Jackson enen tried to push Tessa. It was so cute. There was only one spill, and no injuries,so a good experience overall. At Kira's baptism, yes she's 8! We had to hid the truck, which brought a few tears, but he was quickly distracted with a sponn and a cup. Who needs toys!! Jackson and Tessa are so cute together. Tessa loves her cousin Jackson. She calls him cuz, and gets super excited whenever she sees him. She even called last week to "talk" to him, with some help from Kendra of course. 
Here's just a cute picture of Jackson in his BYU jersey his Aunt Bridgette sent him. Soo cute! We just had his 15 month check-up. He weighs 23 lbs., 30% and is 33 inches tall, 95%. He's growing so fast.

Here are just a few pictures from Easter. We were able to go to Barry and Kendra's for dinner and to play a little. It was a lot of fun, and we were all there but Jared and Suzy. Even Mikelle's Grandparents and Uncle Rob came. Mikelle woke-up really sick Monday morning though, so sorry to anyone who she might have gotten sick. Although Kristin is sick too, with something entirely different, so chances are if you were at Easter with us, you are getting sick, sorry! Luckily Bobby and Jackson haven't gotten sick yet. We're keeping our fingers crossed. On another note, isn't Jackson growing so fast? He looks so old in this picture, but super cute in that tie!

Jackson loves to be outside, and luckily we had nice weather in Prescott. He and Trenton were Grandpa's big helpers in the garden! And the sand pile in the backyard was Heaven! Tessa especially liked to throw the sand on Jackson, although he really didn't seem to mind the sand in his ears and hair. Lets just say he spent a lot of time in the dirt and tub in Prescott!



Last weekend we were able to go to Prescott to see Jared, Suzy and Van. We had so much fun. Jackson tried to find his legs on the trampoline, but mostly just sat. He loved it all the same though. Jackson rode on the ATV's with Grandma Halterman and Aunt Amber. He seemed to be having fun, but a little unsure all at the same time. Jackson had so much fun with his cousins. Although, at one point he hugged Tessa and she pushed him away. That made him very sad, but I think he has forgiven her and moved on.

Here are some of the picture we took with the family. Bobby's Grandma lives in Chicago but was in San Diego visting her daughter, Sandy. So we took advantage of seeing them both. It was their first time meeting Jackson. He wowed them of course and we all had a great time. 



We also went to the beach. We were expecting the water to be cold, but it was overcast as well, so it was really cold. Jackson loved to play in the sand, his new favorite thing is to dig and fill buckets with sand! And he didn't mind the water too mcuh until a wave snuck up behind him while getting his picture taken. Then he was too wet and cold, we didn't stay much longer after that. We did bring home a lot of sand with us though. The best part of a trip to the beach! Bobby's Aunt Sandy came with us and Jackson didn't even mind her burrying his legs in the sand!


A few weeks ago we were able to go to San Diego to visit Bobby's Grandma Glas and Aunt Sandy. We had a great time. Our first stop was to the San Diego Zoo. Jackson loved it, but so did we. We think he liked the fish and turtles the most. But maybe because he was on the same level as them and got a good look at them. Although, he enjoyed the petting zoo. He would pet the rabbit, but the goats he wasn't too sure about touching. He was such a good boy, but then again he got a ride the whole time while we walked! 

We just had to put this picture up. We can't get enough of his smile. Jackson is getting so big. Walking all on his own, has the big boy car seat, and is starting to look like a toddler not a baby. It has gone by so fast.

Just a random picture. Jackson's new thing is to put shoes on his hands and crawl around the house. It doesn't matter who's shoes they are, or even if they match. It's so funny when he has shoes on both hands. So now we never know where our shoes are!

When in Prescott we were able to play a little in the snow. Jackson wasn't too sure how he felt about it, but we tried! He was mostly okay if someone was with him, or if he was held, but when left to sit in the snow alone, not too excited! He tried to eat the snow, but decided it was too cold. Maybe next time we can be there while it is snowing to see how he likes that. Although, that may not be till next winter, unless we are real lucky.

This is an outfit Grandma and Grandpa Halterman got Jackson for his birthday. Doesn't he look handsome? We love the shoes that match. He is getting so mobile. So close to walking all alone. Just a few more days we think.

While in Prescott, Jackson found a few new things. He found that he loves cars and loves to push them around. But only bigger cars, not like Hot Wheels. He Pushed them all over the house, and dragged them up the stair with him. Also, he loves apples. And he can eat them whole now. It was very messy and juicy, but he had so much fun eating it.
We went to Prescott this weekend and had so much fun! This picture is just random. Aunt Amber had this huge tote bag that she out Jackson in and then carried him around. You can see on Jackson's face how excited he is about it!

Here are Jackson's 1 year pictures. We saw the doctor this week and he is only 21 lbs. 14 oz., 40% and 30 inches, 50%. Although, we think he weighs more than that.He is thinning out a little. His checks aren't so chubby, but he still has his budda belly!  He still isn't walking a lot on his own, but is getting so close. Bobby was jealous of all the attention Jackson was getting, so we had to write his age on his chest and take pictures of him too!

Just a random picture of Bobby with Jackson. They are so manly with their muscles. Jackson almost has the move right!
The below pictures are from Jackson's 1st birthday party. He turned 1 last Saturday, the 24th of January. He had a dinosaur party with the family at a lake. It was a lot of fun. We ate, fed the ducks, and just chatted. Jackson was a little leary of his cake, but he ate some of it. We were hoping he would dive in and get it everywhere, but we guess he's too refined for that! Mikelle made the cake. It took a long time, but she had fun and it was worth it when it was done. Jackson loved the balloons and his presents, although he's still trying to figure out how to open them.
