Disney Day

We have a tradition in our house where we celebrate Disney Day every June 14th. We watch Disney movies, play Disney games, just have a good ol' Disney time. This year our time was reduced to a late afternoon/evening celebration.

Brice came up with a great game. We each made up clues for a 1. Charade, 2. Trivia question, 3. Words within a Word, and 4. Pictionary. So fun! We watched Toy Story to prepare for the new one and ate these:


Mickey Mouse grilled cheeses!

Nursery Complete!

So we're finally done with the nursery! Well, except for the shades, which haven't arrived yet. And this first wall is still naked because it will one day host pictures of our little bundle of joy. But everything else is done!! Yea!!













Now come on, Naomi!!

Highlight of Our Vacation

We just returned from a trip down to the Alabama coast. Thankfully, we arrived before the oil did. It was the last trip with just us 3 Jacksons. We played games, watched movies, played lots of Marco Polo in the pool, and did make one journey to the beach front.

However, the best part of our trip was the half hour we spent with 8-week old tigers at the Gulf Coast Zoo (yes, they have a zoo).
Check out these little guys!

When they want something, they "meow" for it. Of course, their version of meowing isn't like our sweet Macie's. It sounds mean, but they are just communicating. Listen to this:


They were definitely biters! We really had to watch them.
This one is stalking a toy Brice has - he's about to pounce!

My favorite:

Big paws! And the padding is so smooth.

They would play hard and then crash for a few minutes - 'til brother woke them up to play some more!

So now I can mark this one off my bucket list! It was brief, but definitely the experience of a lifetime!
