Sea World

We went on vacation last week to Orlando, we did Sea World, Disney, and Universal...it was fun! Here are a few pics. I have more and will post later, some are on my mom's camera because I forgot mine one day and my videos are not uploading at the moment... anyway, Jackson really enjoyed Sea World- we did the Shamu show and the Bird and Dolphin show, the dolphin show is AMAZING! We saw it last time we went too and loved it just as much this time!
Shamu's babies...
Shamu's underground viewing, all Jackson kept saying was "he's huge!!"

Oh yeah...

So I realized after I had posted the "progress" pictures, that I never posted the "before" pictures! Here they are for those of you who didn't get to see before...above kitchen...
Standing in dining room looking into living room...notice no wall is there like there is in the newer pics, my idea to build the wall, good one huh?!

House Progress...

Well the house is starting to come together...it actually looks livable now. Above is a picture taken from the entryway into the livingroom

Adam's fancy "coffered" ceiling- I didn't have any before pics of the ceiling, but it was just an 18 foot stippled ceiling, no fancy moulding.
This is part of the kitchen and looking into family room

That's all for now, notice my pretty hardwoods? I LOVE them! Well I have more to post from our Orlando vacation but it's midnight so maybe look for those tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Jackson!!!

Jackson turned 3 today! We will be having his party in a couple weeks(invitations went out today) but tonight was just a family party! Here he is opening presents, blowing out his candles, and showing some of what he got...

He was excited to wear his special "birthday hat" all day and he asked for pizza for dinner.

Such a cute picture!!!

I stole this picture from Sarah's blog...because I think it is the cutest picture ever, plus he's my kid so I have the rights to it! haha. Although Maddox didn't really participate in the crown decorating with Jackson and Amy he did wear his willingly!
