These "shoes" were made for walking....and Boys and their toys

 Wow!  We had a wonderful weekend!  They always seem to pass by so quick!  We let Daddy sleep in Saturday morning, so I decided to go ahead and dress Jackson before V woke up.  I knew that he would want to dress Jackson in some beautiful orange and blue just not AU orange and blue.  It is only fair that Jackson has the opportunity to wear his Auburn outfit since last weekend I allowed him to wear his Gator jon jon. 

The outfit must have brought good luck because Auburn had another win!  War eagle!

Jackson LOVES, LOVES wearing our shoes around the house!  This is his new favorite thing to do!  As I was making the bed and folding clothes this is what I found-my little helper wearing his Daddy's shoes!  I thought he was going to break an ankle but he is a tough little guy and wore them for about 30 minutes!  Who needs expensive toys ?

He didn't want to hurt momma's feelings so he went into our closet and pulled out a pair of my flip flops.  He decided he would give those a test run too!


Jackson loves being outside so we bought him a four-wheeler just like daddy's (same color and brand!) Ha Ha!  He wasn't quite sure about it at first but once he got the hang of it he was off!  He pitched a fit when we had to go inside!

Saturday night, my friends, Rachel, Kristie, and I, went to a contemporary Christian concert at Ridgecrest!  It was soo good !  I have always wished I could sing! No such luck!  However, God doesn't care how I sound, so I sung my little heart out and didn't care who heard my terrible voice.  It is soo powerful to be in a place where you just feel the Holy Spirit all around as you praise Our Savior!  It was amazing!  We left the concert at 10:00 all three of us were yawning-we are not used to staying up that late!  I feel really old!  While I was gone, V took Jackson to Kristie's house so Jackson and their little boy, Landon, could play!  Rachel-Jackson missed seeing his other buddy Owen-I hope he feels better!  I am so thankful that Jackson has such a wonderful daddy that spends so much time with him and is constantly teaching him values that hopefully he will remember as he grows up!  I pray every night that he seeks God's will for his little life-because the road is so narrow!  Hope everyone has a wonderful week!  Enjoy the pics!

I am now officially a Blogger!

I DID IT!  I started a blog of my own!  I can hardly believe it myself!  I have always enjoyed reading other blogs (even people I don't Know) - I guess that would make me a blog stalker right? Ha Ha!

I have wanted to create a blog of my own for some time now, mainly to capture all of the LITTLE THINGS that go on in the Rillano household.  We are a family of four: myself, my husband ("V"),  baby Jackson, and let's not forget Bella (our lil weiner dog).

I started Jackson a baby book even before he was born and I was very diligent writing in it every month.  However, I stopped writing in it when he turned a year old.  I felt that I needed to do something more personal-something that truly told the story of our lives. Hopefully, something that he can look back on one day and read and keep as a treasure of his childhood.  I want to document our LITTLE life-I forget so often of all the memories we are making!  Hopefully, this way will help me organize everything we experience as a family! 

SOOO on to the important stuff!
Our baby boy is not so much a baby anymore!  He is 16 months old and I can hardly believe it- it feels like just yesterday we were trying to have a baby, now we have a toddler!  I love every minute of being a momma-he melts my heart everytime he looks at me with those big brown eyes.

Jackson you are 16 months old
You have 6 teeth( 4 on top and 2 on the bottom)
You wear a size 4 diaper( as of last week)
You are getting really good at talking-you can say da da, Bella, CC, tractor, and just this week he is saying momma and pointing at me!  I thought you would never say it-You really love your daddy.
Also, you can say milk(kinda like mama over and over again.)
You point at everything and say  sthat (he is saying whats that) and huh! We are working on ma'am!

You can point to head, tummy, eyes, ear, arm, nose, hiney, and your favorite is Belly Button.  You love to find momma and daddy's too!

You are such a happy baby. Your laughter lights up the room.  You love to chase us around the house, play peep eye, and call Bella and pull her tail! 

Oh my goodness you absolutely love being outside:  You pitch a fit to ride Granddaddy's tractor and golf cart-all boy!

You are our LITTLE blessing and we love you so much!

We are definitely Remembering the LITTLE THINGS because one day they will become the BIG THINGS! 

Here are some pics of you @ 16 months old!

We love you Jackson!   More to come.....
