Giggles

Jayden loves Mondays with Gramma!
After his nap, he was poking his head up through his crib,
waiting for her to come in and get him.

Playing with Daddy...

I can't figure out how to flip it...sorry!

6 Month Pictures

Auntie Jenn Jenn

Auntie Jenn Jenn wanted to see Jayden's two teeth!

Here you go sister!

Daddy has some teeth like Jayden too!

Just kidding! Haha!
Here is a picture of his two teeth.

He has one more popping thru, but you can't see it yet.

I love you Auntie Jenn Jenn! I can't wait to see you in a few months!

Mema and Papa

Mema and Papa were here visiting this past weekend. It means so much to me that Jayden is getting to know his great-grandparents!
(He is too interested in the trees to look at the camera)

Four Generations!

Playing trucks with Daddy...
You can see that he gets up on his knees.
He'll be crawling soon!

Mommy's Little Boy...

Jayden's new "trick" is to bite the spoon when we're feeding him...

the food goes up his nose!

Exciting News!!! It's a GIRL!!!

We're going to have a niece!

Micah and Becky had their ultrasound yesterday and found out that they are having a girl!

We are SO excited for them!

We thought this little Nike outfit was perfect for our niece...

it looks like a mini-Becky outfit!

We have a feeling she's going to be an awesome athlete! =)

We love you guys and are excited to raise our kids together!

Church BBQ

Last Sunday our church had a bbq at a lake in Forest Falls. The weather was SO nice, but the water was a little too cold to swim in. Jayden LOVES being outside!

He loves to look at the trees, and the feel of the grass.

Even though the water was a cold, Jayden loved kicking around in it!

We missed Daddy at the BBQ because he had to work. =(

It was good food and great fellowship!

Swimming with Gramma

Jayden went swimming with Gramma in her hot tub today...

he LOVED it!

He loves water and has no fear getting his face wet.

Jayden and Ben

Here's a picture of Jayden and his friend, Ben.

This picture is cute because Ben is sharing his toy,

but also making sure he gets it back! =)

These two boys are going to have SO much fun growing up together. We feel SO blessed to have Jessica watching Jayden. I'm sure Ben will teach Jayden all kinds of cool things!

Thanks for taking such good care of our little boy Jessica...

we appreciate you!!

Thank you Papa and Mema!

Jayden's Great-Grandpa Pruden made this airplane for him in his stain glass class! Papa took a piece of wallpaper from the border in Jayden's nursery and matched it perfectly! It looks SO neat hanging in his window...Thank You Papa!

Mema made Jayden this quilt. It fits nicely on his toybox! Mema cut some square pieces out of material and made the airplanes on the quilt to match his nursery exactly. My grandparents are SO talented! (and thoughtful!)

Thank you Mema!

Here are some pictures from our last trip to visit Mema and Papa.
They are coming to visit Jayden next week...we can't wait to see you!

Jayden LOVES his Great Grandma and Grandpa!

Let the Games Begin!!!

Football season has started!!

Micah and Becky came over for Monday night football...

but, the vikings didn't do so well. Maybe next time.

Jayden is such a happy little boy!

Thanks for the exersaucer Cybill! Jayden loves it!

Happy Anniversary!!

Grandma and Grandpa are celebrating 33 years of marriage today!
Thank you for all you do for Jayden and for us...

We Love You VERY Much!

Dad, thank you for being a Godly example of what a father (and grandfather) should be. You've always supported Jenn and I in all our decisions and that has meant so much. You have taught us what integrity is all about. We know we can always call you when we need advice, support, or encouragement. I couldn't ask for a better father!

I love you!

Grandpa's Little Buddy... Mom, you are loving, kind, warm and affectionate. You are the most others-minded person I know! I couldn't imagine going through life without you! You are more than just my mom, you are one of my best friends! I appreciate all the help you give us, all our phone conversations (and emails!), and all the things you do for my family. You have always put our needs above your own. I can only pray that I will become the mother for Jayden that you have been for me!

I love you!

Love at 1st sight...Mom, thank you for watching Jayden for us whenever you can! You take EVERY opportunity to pick him up from Jessica's, bathe him, feed him, and just love him. He gets so excited to see you and I know as he gets older that excitement is just going to grow and grow...
Grandma can never get enough... Thank you for being amazing grandparents to all of your grandkids!

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!
I'm so proud that you have been married for such a long time!

I hope you have many more great years together!
We love you!

Happy 33rd Anniversary!

A Visit to Grandma and Grandpa Erickson's

We spent Sunday afternoon at Grandma and Grandpa's House!

Hanging out with Grandma...

Sunday morning we went to church with Josh and Kristin for Bayley's Baby Dedication.
He looked SO cute!

Our boys are growing SO fast!
