Jackson's Birthday Party!!

Here are a few pictures from Jackson's birthday party at Pump it Up. This is the best place to have a toddler's birthday party! Jackson had SO much fun-- even though a bunch of his little friends weren't able to come--but that's what Momma gets for throwing a birthday party at the height of the worst cold and flu season in years!! :) We ordered his cake from Dreamcakes (on Lakeland at the Reservoir). They are awesome...It was SOOO good and adorable too! I think Jace liked his piece! :) Happy Birthday Sweet Baby!!! I can't believe another year has gone by...

Happy Birthday Jack-Jack!!!

Our big boy is two, and he will tell you so! "I twooooo!" It has been a really big year for our Jack-Jack. He has grown SO much!!

Good morning Birthday Boy!! The first thing he said when we walked in his room was "kace?!" (also known as cake)... He knew his birthday was here and that means birthday cake! Ha! I always wonder what little ones dream about, and I bet "kace" filled his dreams that night! :) We celebrated the whole day long. We took him for his traditional Saturday morning breakfast.. "do dos" (doughnuts) and "juice" (chocolate milk). Then we gave him one of his birthday presents.......He really likes it, but it is too small for him... Just means he gets a new gift, and we'll save this for Will and John Wesley.

We all met at Sal & Mookie's for pizza, cake and more presents... Mimi, Grandad and Uncle Terry kept the babies happy so we could pay extra attention to Jack on his big day. Yummmmy Pizza!!Jackson loved the cake I made him! I was proud. I tried to combine his two favorite things: cake and m&ms...He loved it! He wanted to eat the m&ms off of everyone's piece. :) This serious look on his face kills me...looks like, "don't even think about touching my "kace"." :)

Some Recent Pics...

Bathtime!! When I first saw this, I thought, "Man, they look so big sitting there"!! Then I saw this...Only 20 months difference in age...amazing...This is how I spend alot of time... :) and Jason thinks it's funny to take a picture of it... :) Playtime!! Can you guess who is who??
Will is on the right and John Wesley is on the left... Jack-Jack and Daddy...

Jackson's First Haircut

After much ridicule from friends and family, we finally decided to take Jackson for his first haircut. Mimi was on hand to help out, but Momma and Jack still both cried. After all was said and done, Jackson's hair looks much better--no more frizzy mullet. :) Lyle Klepplid has been doing my hair for 10 years. He is wonderful and very patient. So, I knew he would be great with Jackson...Jack was not as confident as I was though... :) He was not too sure about him...Tadaa!!

And Yet Another Quick Update... :)

Surely you can tell (since I have not posted in so long) that we were SO BLESSED to be able to bring our sweet boys home!! Will and John Wesley came home with us on December 5th, and let me just say...life is CRAZYYYY with three baby boys!!! Oh, but I am certainly NOT complaining! I cannot begin to express just how thankful we are that they are home with us (and healthy!!!). Here are just a couple of quick pictures of homecoming day....

Jackson is doing so well. He gets a little upset about sharing "Mama" and "Dadee," especially when there is not a lap for him, but he LOVES "his babies." He gives them kisses and hugs, and even shares his beloved "night, night" (his blankie) with them. Such a sweet big brother already!!! Can you tell who is who??? If so, you get the prize...cause even we have trouble sometimes. I (literally) prayed for a birthmark, and God gave us one thankfully. Will has a "strawberry" on his back. Helps us out in a pinch... :)

Quick Update...

Check out these hungry little boys!!!!

Our sweet babies are all doing well. We were able to take out Will and John Wesley's feeding tubes yesterday, and they are moving to big boy beds (cribs) today or tomorrow!! Their doctors are saying if all goes well, we should be able to bring them home early next week!!! YEAH!!! Praise God!!

Jackson is a mess!! He has no idea what is in store for him!!! We can not wait to introduce him to his little brothers. :) This picture of Jackson is hanging up in the twins' incubator...Big brother is watching over them... :)

Happy Halloween (Muahahahaha)!!!

I am sooo late with this, but I had to post some pics of our Scruffy Puppy!! Jackson was SO adorable! His costume had a button on the paw that barked when you pushed it!! He LOVED it--said "Puppy, Puppy, Puppy!!" all night long!! :)At first Jackson was giving the obligatory "taint too" (thank you) when someone gave him a treat. Then, after he figured out what was going on, and what these wonderful people were putting in his candy bucket, he started giving kisses...Lots of kisses!! :) Grandad drove us around our block while we all three sat on the tailgate of our car (I was still on bedrest at the time...). I walked Jackson to this one door...I promise...couldn't let Daddy have ALL the fun! Scruffy puppies LOVE chocolate chip cookies!!! :)

Bed Rest is NO Fun!!! (and some other recent stuff...)

The beginning of Fall is my VERY, VERY favorite time of the year! I love it!!! The beautiful colors in the trees, the perfectly cool mornings, the fair, football games... I know missing all this is a very small price to pay for the health of these sweet babies...Please remind me of that when I start feeling too sorry for myself. :)

My sweet husband has been taking lots of pictures lately for me of things I haven't been able to go to. Makes me kind of feel like I was there :) ...

One of my MOST favorite little guys just turned two!!! This was a very special day--his first birthday party at home!!!! YEAH!!! Happy Birthday Sweet Evan!!!!

Jason's partners from work threw us a beautiful dinner party/baby shower... I hated that I couldn't be there. Jason said everything was so nice and the food was terrific!!!Stephen Bryant, Brian Averett, Jason, Matt Word, Jacob Ray, Melanie Bryant, Dayna (soon-to-be) Word, Tynia Russell, Heather Ray

Miss Avery turned 3!! Check out those beautiful blonde curls!! Everyone celebrated with a big party at Pump it Up! This was Jackson's first time there. Jason said it was pretty funny...Said he was a little bit overwhelmed by all the noise and the big kids, but (in TRUE Ozier fashion) he had NO problem downing the pizza, cheetos, and birthday cake..he he...

Speaking of "Ozier tradition"... I promise I did not pose him for this picture. He sat in this chair with the football all by himself to watch the game with Daddy... Like Father, Like Son :)

This is Jackson on his first day of Mother's Morning Out....When it was time to leave that morning, I handed him his "froggy" lunchbox. He hooked it over his arm (like a purse), and headed out the door...Like he knew exactly where he was going. It was so funny! I had to catch up to him to take a picture!! :)

I knew I was getting really uncomfortable, but I didn't realize just how big I had gotten until I saw this picture...These babies are GROWING!! 28.5 weeks
