A few weeks ago we drove to California and went camping on the beach. What an adventure! We had such a good time. During the day we played on the beach and at night we enjoyed smores. We could even hear the waves crashing on the beach as we were in our tents. Jackson was a little nervous about the fast water, but by the end of the trip he was comfortable putting his feet in. It was so hard to leave the nice weather and come home. But in the end, it was the perfect vacation to take before Josh starts the Masters program at ASU.
Since Jackson was born we have constantly given him books. I have always hoped that if we started early he would love books as much as I do. Well... the other day as I was checking my email I noticed that it was abnormally quiet. I came around the corner and found him in his bed room sitting on his bean bag chair reading! I was so proud! He was reading, "I'm Not Going to Get Up Today" and "Goodnight Gorilla". As he read "Goodnight Gorilla" he would turn each page and say, "nigh-nigh". It was so adorable I just had to get a picture of it. I just love being a mom. Each day he does something that warms my heart and makes me smile. I am so blessed to be the mother of such an amazing child!
