Garage Sale Treasures

Garage Sale-ing (yes that is the official term) is a bit of a family tradition. I have many memories of going to garage sales with my Mom when I was little. And I can vividly remember when we would find some amazing Barbie deal or new stuffed animal to add to the enormous collection.

Well Jackson is learning about the beauty of garage sales as well. We hit a few on Friday and we found a dump truck, a digger, and a tow truck for under $2.00! Jackson couldn't have been more excited and kept saying on the way home, "Momma I LOOOVE my new trucks, thank you SO much". Way too cute. Here is a picture of Jackson with his new treasures. The tradition lives on!

Jackson's Perfcet Day...at a Dealership??

Last week Mark, Jackson and I went to the Dodge dealership to look at cars since our lease is going to be up soon. Jackson was just beyond himself! He was simply beyond thrilled. He oohhhed and ahhhhed over each car in the showroom and would squeal "OHHH Momma this one is MY favorite!". The car salesman got a kick out of him.
So the next day Jackson pleads for me to take him to the "car store" allll day long. We ended up going to the Hummer Dealership and walked around outside to look at all the Hummers. Jackson was in heaven!
So if you want to make Jackson's day just take him a car dealership!

Summer Smiles

Jackson just LOVES to be outside nearly every minute of the day. I have no idea what we are going to do this winter. He loves finding bugs and picking flowers and just playing in the dirt.

A Boy and His Dog

A few weeks before we lost our dear Hexi we added another furbaby to our family. We brought Falkor home on July 19th and he and Jackson are already best buds. We told Jackson about Falkor for weeks before we even brought him home and every day Jackson would ask "See Falkor today??". Now the first thing Jackson asks for every morning is Falkor.

Jackson loves to tell Falkor all about his toys and show him his trucks and Falkor is happy to listen. They really are too cute together. I snapped this pic of them digging together in the yard. Yeah I'm gonna have my hands full with these two. I

t's going to be so much fun watching them grow up together, especially since Falkor is a Great Dane and will top out somewhere near 170lbs. :)
