Jump Zone!

On Friday, it was pretty rainy and yucky outside, so Emily and I decided to take the boys to Jump Zone! They had a blast! Ben had been before, so he knew exactly what to do while Jackson had to get the lay of the land first. Jackson didn't ever really master walking on the jumpers but he did crawl.... Unfortunately, because I'm all big and prego, I couldn't do many of the big slides and stuff with Jackson - and Emily had her hands full with one toddler - (while still offering to help with mine - thanks Em!).... So I convinced Ryan to skip his conference call and come play!!! So within minutes, he showed up and Jackson was SO happy!!! He took J on all these crazy slides that there was NO way I could carry him up to! We had so much fun with Ben!!!


Jackson is in LOVE with these things! We have one upstairs and one downstairs and he'll still play for hours with them!

Jackson sliding down the big steep slide with Daddy!

Ben sliding down too - even this slide was a bit too much for Emily and I to try to climb up while holding onto a 2 year old!!!


This boy has the brightest, bluest eyes ever! Totally melt your heart!

This was the climb I wasn't gonna make!

Ben preferred to watch on the big slides...




Jump Zone makes a little man tired! And a mommy too!


Here's some videos of them going down the slides! So cute!!!

Wilson Park!

On Thursday, my best buddies Sarah and Megan and I met up at Wilson Park to let the kiddos play and to do go for a walk! I hadn't seen baby Kiptyn since I kept him over here so I was so happy to see him! He has chubbed up quite a bit and is just as cute as can be!!! I've decided I love Wilson Park! I think Jackson's Birthday Party will be there this year! :)

Jackson followed this little girl around everywhere....


Jackson and Bella!

Sarah and Baby Kiptyn

Megan took Jackson in this area because I wasn't too sure he wouldn't fall in the water!

Kiptyn fell asleep in his shades!

J wanted to play in the water!

I'm Selling Avon!

I decided to start selling Avon again! I did it for a couple years in college but ended up never making any money cuz I bought too much makeup and lotions and fun stuff!!! So this time, I'm going to try to restrain myself!!! haha!

If you're interested in buying something - let me know and I'll give you a book!! OR - you can go to my website: www.youravon.com/kstearle.

If you're interested in selling Avon too, let me know and I'll hook you up!

I'm glad I have what Ryan calls a "hobby" now! He thinks I needed something more to keep myself occupied besides my stinker pot toddler! :-) I think he's right!

26 Weeks!

Here's this week's belly pic with the belly pic comparison from Jackson. I feel huge but people keep telling me that I'm small for 6 months pregnant. I definitely don't feel small whatsoever.... I think I probably look just as big w/ both pregnancies..... Regardless, it's 14 more weeks!!!! WOOOHOOO!

26 Weeks with ETHAN (4/20/10)


26 Weeks with JACKSON (2/14/2008)

Chuck E Cheese!!!

Megan and I met up at Chuck E Cheese on Tuesday to let the kids play and so we can talk "Avon" since we're both selling it now. I had no idea how much fun Jackson would have - he didn't even stop to eat pizza! He was nonstop - we're definitely going to have to go back very soon!

ps: Thanks Meg for the great pics!!

On most of the rides, Jackson didn't care if we put a token in them or not - he just wanted to climb all over them!

This was one of his favorites! It was a "3-D" experience!

Looks like I have a milk mustache!


I love that Ryan works so close to home! He can usually come join us wherever we are for lunch - which is nice considering how much time we missed w/ him in the last few months.

Megan's brother Matt is in town on leave - He's in the Air Force and will be stationed in one of the Dakotas.... We all love when he's home - especially Bella!

Jackson got a sucker for all his hard work climbing.

Park Playdate with Bella

What a beautiful day!!! This morning, Megan and I met at the Lowell Park so that Bella and Jackson can play. Bella is going to be 5 on 5/5 - (haha! Cinco de Mayo girl!) and she is SOOOO good with Jackson! She is so sweet and helpful and he just follows her around wanting to do every single thing she does! It was precious! We had such a good time today!!!!


Funny face!!!

Funny hair!!!

This was Jackson's biggest challenge. He was bound and determined to master this thing and by the end, guess what - he did! :-)


To the top!!!


The Reward! Slide!!!

My handsome little man.

Jackson usually hates the swing - he doesn't even want to get near them... but Bella was on the swing and boy, is she funny or what!?


Yay for 80 degree days! I love Arkansas and I LOVE the Spring!!!! :-)

Belly Pic... or not.

This week, like most weeks, Ryan is in Chicago... ALL WEEK. I feel like a single mom these days. Anyway, normally, he would take our weekly "belly pic" on Sunday evening but this particular weekend, he flew home on Friday and came home for 45 minutes and hit the road for his annual "Mud Run" with the boys in Fort Worth. So by the time he came home on Sunday (LATE), I was asleep and then he was up and back to Chicago on Monday....

So needless to say - no belly pic. Maybe next week. We'll see.

Park Playdate with Ben and Anna Kate

Jackson wanted to introduce his good buddy Ben to his future wife - Anna Kate.... so what more appropriate way than a park playdate!?

Jackson - trying to go UP the slide and failing.

Cutie Pie Anna and her momma


Ben was brave enough to try these out but Jackson didn't like how unstable it was!








Ben loved to play with this board while his momma sang the ABC's. I got a video of it but it's too long to post on here. :(

Jackson w/ Ben and his momma Emily

HI Anna Kate!!!

2 Look-Alikes!

Time to go!

Hugs from Jackson to Anna... awh... so sweet!
