Three Men and a Mommy

We spent the day at Old Settler's Park playing and enjoying the faux-fall weather. It was so nice to have a breeze...
I love watching Jason with the boys. He turns into a little boy himself, as you can see. Jackson eats up every moment with Daddy. His only real reason to finish any meal is to grow up tall like Daddy. He wants to do everything Daddy does- from standing up to go pee or ride horses and yell "hep cow"! Cooper is for sure a Daddy's boy. He is happiest in his arms. It's the only time he doesn't wiggle.
They are all content to burn as much energy as possible ( as I try to keep up with camera in hand ) or hang out doing nothing. Sometimes I find myself trying to make every moment with Jackson educational or instilling manners and morals. I feel like Cooper is getting sold short as far as one on one time with me these early months.

But I've realized that they both are happiest when we are all together. Even watching TV or making dinner. They don't care if every day is a Kodak moment and it's all in a scrapbook. They certainly don't care if lunch is always at 12:30. They don't care if Daddy gets a promotion and Mommy keeps the house spotless. They made us a family and constantly remind me of what's important.
