Robyn snapped this photo while I was out of town this weekend and I found it going through the photos before I head to work this morning.
Children's sense of curiosity and imagination is what helps to keep this world spinning on it's axis. If it wasn't for children, the world would be empty of innocence and pure happiness. It is always a humbling to watch a young child, who is totally dependent on us, to play and find excitement in the littlest of objects.
would never have had the opportunity to be treated like a king when the real royalty of the house was you, the Queen.
Maybe a look into the future musical career of Jaxson, but strumming the strings seemed to come natural to our little rockstar last night. Hopefully he didn't inherit the musical "gifts" that Robyn and I have, since our musical talents consist of making fart noises with our armpits and calling that a "classic."
Scrapbooking is slowly becoming an great American past-time that is almost extinct. Sure, you still have your groups of soccer moms that gather around their minivans and go on group outings to the local scrapbooking store and sit around and discuss how Johnny scored two goals today and whether or not their last loaf of banana nut bread was good or not - but for the most part, scrapbooks and photo albums are dwindling in numbers.
gold, but our pictures and entries are permanently saved in a virtual world that is much harder to loose and much less likely to get lost in a tragic home accident. With all this being said, the world of blogging and scrapbooking collided tonight.
room; also know as "Basket O' Fun." The colors and sounds are becoming familiar to him, and he definitely knows which toys he wants to play with and which ones are better left for the next kiddo that passes through.
Mr. Business, "Let's make a deal."
So, like where's the party buddies. 
"You know, Albert Einstein had hair like this."
Jaxson loves these guys....
"I need some testosterone, too much estrogen for me."
"Oh geez Boo, must you do this in front of all these girls??"
"Dad, put the freaking camera down, please - I beg you."
Congrats to Jacob and Esther on your new life as a family. On April 21, Jacob and Esther were married at the Lena Pope Home in Fort Worth in a beautiful ceremony where the love and respect between the two 
showed and was so profound that everyone, even Father Todd, was moved during the ceremony. Seeing two people that obviously love each other unite in marriage is one of life's little moments and gifts that are just too beautiful to try and put into words. 
renovated church directly across the street from Joe T. Garcia's, a staple in the wonderful atmosphere of Fort Worth. With dancing, laughing, and a few salude's that were heard through the crowds, J&E began their new live in a wonderful way.
Parking: $12
Outings to the ballpark have definitely changed since last year. Instead of downing a cold brewski before we head in, we now let the little guy slam down a bottle of formula to hold him through the game. Honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. He seemed to enjoy the sights and sounds, especially the lady a few rows back that started happy hour a little too early today, but hey, she kept him 
entertained for a few innings.
I think this kiddo is about as far from scary as you can get. What is scary, is how much our little bambino is growing. Not only is he beginning to understand "peek-a-boo" and reaching to pull of what ever is hiding him, but he is almost to the point where he can old his own bottle.
He amazes me everyday and my day lights-up each morning when he smiles his first smile, giggles from his belly, and when he and momma drift off into dream world together. I wish I could get into that head of his and see what he is dreaming. He looks like an angel and you can just feel the innocence and peacefulness when you watch your own child sleep.
Sorry Alice, but this rabbit is in our world.
What better way to ring in Easter weekend on Good Friday than Jaxson dawning his baseball jersey and sitting in a patch of bluebonnets. Truly one of the great traditions along Texas highways and rest stops, is plopping the kids in the bluest of blue flowers and snapping their first experience with the state flower. I don't think we could have picked a more appropriate and picturesque "Texas" flower scene, with the bluebonnets, warm sunshine, and a rusted steel pipe fence in the background.
Sweet Juniper is a nice mixture of photos, commentary, and links to interesting sites. I have to say I was entertained for some time going wondering through the different "categories" and discovering a little bit about this mysterious Juniper (sweet name by the way).
Robyn snagged this photo, and I have to say it has moved up in the ranks as one of my favorite. Jaxson has taken a real liking to Curious George. Not sure if it is because they kinda look the same, or if he is just a "curious" boy, and this is only foreshadowing of the mischief that our little buddy will be getting into in the near future. 
On the way home Saturday, we decided to make a quick stop at the Fort Worth Water Gardens to see the new renovations and experience this little gem in Fort Worth.
With the tragedy that happened there a few years ago, the city has done a fabulous job of integrating a memorial for the people that lost their lives, while not taking away from the design that Phillip Johnson designed a few decades back. The sun was out and the water was running, and the photo opportunities were endless.
