Aunt Erin has been to Houston!

Jessica's sister-in-law, Erin, was in Houston this week for business purposes. She came to the house tonight for dinner and to meet Jaxson. As you can tell, they both seemed to get along quite well!

Is that a Smile?

We were going through some of the pictures from last night's 2-Week Old Birthday Party and found the one below. I cropped it down to where you could really see Jaxson's face.

Maybe it's just me, but that little cowboy looks like he is HAPPY! He loves his mama!

First Smile?

Jaxson's 2-Week Old Birthday Party!

Jaxson turned 2-weeks old today! YEAH!

At exactly 7:08 PM we sang happy birthday to him. Unfortunately, Jessica, "E", and I had to enjoy the chocolate cup cakes without him! HA!

More Pictures of Jaxson!

As you can imagine, Jaxson has seen lots of flashing lights lately (from all the cameras around the house!), but he is adjusting well....perhaps we are preparing him for a career in Hollywood! HAHA!

Anyway, below are some more pictures of the big guy! Enjoy!

Jaxson is 11 days old!

Jaxson is such a blessing!

Jessica and I have really enjoyed having him around. Yes, the sleep has been minimal, but when he looks up at you with those big blue eyes it is easy to forget about all the fussing and crying!

My family was down for the 1st week after his birth and Jessica's Mother is here with us now. Everyone has been such a huge help making sure both Jaxson and Jessica are well taken care of... More stuff will be posted soon. STAY TUNED!

Videos of Jaxson

Below are some Videos of Jaxson while we were still in the hospital!

Over 24 hours since birth...

Wow....talk about worn smooth out.

I am so tired....I can't even imagine how Jessica must feel....as bad as me times 100 probably wouldn't be close.

Jaxson has been great so far...not too fussy and pretty much a joy for everyone around. If he does cry there seems to be a good reason for it. Hope this holds true for the months to come.

There will be more pictures posted soon. I plan to get some out there with Jessica with Jaxson real soon.

Getting Ready for his Arrival!

OK....15 days and counting...tick, tock, tick, tock! We are frantically trying to get everything done prior to Jaxson getting here! (or should I say Jessica is frantically GETTING everything done!).

Jess has been in High Gear this week wrapping up loose ends and getting things put together. I try and provide some support, but most of her questions are answered with a resounding "Hmm....I don't know."

I am as close to worthless as you can get with this baby stuff...however, I am working to get better...HANG ON FOR THE RIDE! Cody is about to get a lesson in BABY 101!

Ribbit.

NASA Baby Shower

Our friends and co-workers at NASA had a baby shower for us this past week. There was a big turnout and everyone gave us SO much great stuff. They are really working to spoil our little guy rotten! HAHA!

Below are some pictures of the shower...by the way, he should be here in about 2 weeks!

Baby Showers

The past couple weeks have been full of baby showers. The pictures below are some from 3 different events that have taken place in Rusk, Cushing, and Houston.

Jessica and I have received lots of neat things from friends and families. We are definitely blessed to have such great people to share the excitement of Jaxson's birth! Thanks Everyone! You guys are great!

STATE CHAMPS: Laneville Yellowjackets!

#15 Laneville defeated #1 ranked Goodrich Saturday night 56-50 to capture the Class 1A-Division II State Championship!

The score was tied 10 different times throughout the contest. At one point, Laneville stretched their lead to 10, but #1 ranked Goodrich quickly cut the lead to 4 points in the 4th quarter.

This is Laneville's 3rd State Championship. The Yellowjackets won back-to-back titles in '92-'93.

Congratulations to Coach Brian Nichols and the Laneville Yellowjackets on a Great Season....they accomplished their team goal/motto for the year....WTLO (Win The Last One).

Laneville Defeats Rule, 61-39

Laneville won their first game on Friday night with an impressive win over #4 ranked Rule.

Laneville did not have their best game of the season on Friday, but their complete dominance over Rule in the paint (12 blocked shots) helped Laneville cruise to a much-needed victory.

Coach Brian Nichols, who brought Laneville to Austin last season only to lose to Nazareth in the championship game, continually reiterates to his players this year's motto....WTLO (Win the Last One)....

#15 Laneville plays #1 Goodrich for the State Title on Saturday @ 7 PM.
