already growing up!

Yesterday we got all dressed up for little Andrew's 4th birthday party. James had bought him his first polo shirt the day we found out we were having a boy. Jackson was sure wide awake and had fun being held by so many people.

When 2 becomes 3

Well, it is hard to believe it's already been almost 3 weeks. But, little Jackson James was born on June 9, 2009 at 4:25 in the afternoon. He weighed 7 lbs and 1 oz and is already over 8 pounds. When you put it in terms of only weighing 7 pounds, gaining one is a huge accomplishment for him! He sure is a good baby and I have no room to complain! Last night he slept for 7 hours straight and our worst night still doesn't even compare to what some people have to go through. He still is so skinny with wrinkles, but a double chin is coming on fast!

His little vibrating chair is already one of his best friends. I am kind of creeped out by the fact that every time he lays in it, he puts his hands just like this. People always comment on how early he is folding his arms! I guess James' spirituality is already rubbing off!

James and his brother Clayton have sure spent a lot of time working on their new business. Not only do they have official business cards, the legal work done, and phone calls for bids a couple times a week, but James has almost finished their first job. Alfred, the Hollywood movie production designer, has been visiting his second home in the countryside of Spanish Fork. In preparation for his Hollywood friends' party (next Wed), he needed James to acid stain his laundry room! James could not be more thrilled...not only does he think this is his first REAL job, but he also feels this may be his chance to finally become the sports star on some movie! (his other not-so-secret passion). I came home from helping Norene the other day and found James "setting up his office" (in our front room none-the-less).

Before and after shots will come soon! (in the mean time, you can check out their local listings on KSL, craigslist, or email consealconcepts@gmail.com)

Bahama Mama's

Here you will see THE BAHAMA MAMA hot-dog, compliments of Tommie Matthews and Maverick's Gas station. Featured on the top left of the grill is the "jalapeno cheese" dog. Smack dab in the middle is THE BAHAMA MAMA in comparison with your average jumbo dog.
Definitely an accomplishment, James won the family eating contest this past memorial day. He successfully downed SIX BAHAMA MAMA'S (with buns and condiments). He walked away with a very full belly, over 6 dollars in prize money, and a desire to never eat more than 6 again. That's my man.
