Easter Sunday

Whew...what a weekend! Before heading back to Houston Sunday, Jaxson celebrated his first Easter! The weather was bad in Cushing, so we didn't get to hunt any eggs outside, but he sure had a good time looking for them around my parents' house! Oh!...the Easter Bunny also dropped by for a visit...see below!

This has got to be the BEST Easter Bunny I've ever seen! Doesn't this just make you laugh?! Way to go Aunt Jocey!

Jaxson's First Birthday Party

While in East Texas for the Easter Holiday Weekend, we decided to throw Jaxson his very first BIRTHDAY PARTY! We had it at my parents' house in Cushing and Jessica's parents came over from Rusk to enjoy the festivities. Needless to say, all the family members in attendance had a great time! Enjoy the pics and video below!

Mickey Mouse B-day Cake (custom-made cake by Mrs. Linda Sides)...YUMMY!

This video is 8+ minutes long...he really starts getting into the cake towards the end

We had to take his shirt off prior to giving him his cake...black icing + baby clothes = no good

Mmm.....SUGAR!

Mission Accomplished...well done, Jax!

Cake and Chick-Fil-A...perfect.

Present Time!

Jaxson got lots of neat presents...too many to post pictures of all of them. However, this one was pretty cool! Papa Joe had a man hand-engrave Jaxson's name and birth date onto the receiver of this Henry Lever-Action .22 Rifle. WOW!

All by hand...no laser work here!

Spring Time in Rusk, Texas

Spring has sprung in Rusk, Texas! We were out riding around Jessica's home town this weekend and stopped to take a few pictures of Jaxson with the pretty flowers. He didn't care much for the pretty colors, but he sure liked picking the petals and tearing them up!

Jaxson with Indian Paintbrushes - can you tell he is shouting? HA!

Jaxson with Bluebonnets

Easter Bunny at Day Care

Jaxson had his first-ever Easter Egg Hunt today at school. Jessica was able to get off of work and attend the festivities (I couldn't make it, unfortunately). But, as you can see, I do believe Mr. Jaxson had a heck of a time!

Seafood, Jaxson? YES!

When Mom and Dad were down here for a while, we went over to Market Seafood one Sunday for lunch. Well, Jessica and Papa Joe discovered that Jaxson loved fried catfish!

I think they both laughed until they had tears in their eyes!

Jaxson discovered the front door. He was trying very hard to look out the frosted glass to see what was happening out in that Big Ol' World!
