Strike a pose!

Here's Jackson kicking under his Suzy's Zoo mobile in his cute Dr. Seuss outfit!

Jackson loves his swing with the animal mobile - fun, fun!

A proud mommy and her new little boy!

Scott and Bubba finished out the deck and it looks GREAT!!

After the deck was finished, Tyler did the dance of joy all over it... Mommy did it first!!

Rochelle's long-awaited dreams came true recently when Jason, Bubba, and Scott demolished the Jacuzzi and put deck flooring in its place. Aahhhh! GREAT JOB, GUYS!!

Jackson's enjoying the great outdoors at Bubba and Nina's house for Cousin Jacob's birthday party!

"Hello, World!"

Here Jackson and Tyler are kicking around together on the blanket!

Welcome, Jackson Caleb! Born June 17, 2008, at 11:52 a.m. 8 lbs. 4 oz., 20 inches long. And darling!

Jackson sure looked miniature in his carseat on the way home - wow! And, he was bigger than Tyler was (8 lbs. 4 oz. while Tyler was 7 lbs. 9 oz.)!

Jackson looked different than Tyler did at birth, but sure favors him in this picture.

It was fun seeing Tyler and Jackson meet for the first time! Tyler seemed excited and had a big smile on his face as he peered in to see his little brother! He talked to him some and then said, "Bye, bye, Jackson!" Later he asked what we were going to do with Jackson... Funny!

Cheryl, Mackenzie, and Anna Claire came by for a visit - cute girls!

Adorable... I guess we're too biased to be objective! :)

"Hello, World!"

All that labor and delivery stuff is hard work - whew!

Jackson sure is a cutie pie! He currently has dark blue eyes, dark brown hair, full lips, and long fingers and toes!

Brett and Becca came by for a visit as well - always a treat!

GG and Granddad sure enjoyed visiting with their new grandson!

Sherri brought Jackson's a birthday cookie cake to celebrate his arrival - thanks, Sherri!

Jacob, one of Tyler and Jackson's cousins, was in town for Cousins Camp hosted by Nina and Bubba! The timing couldn't have been better!

It just so happened that Grandma Fern was in town for the big event - neat!

Nina sure enjoyed seeing her fourth grandson for the first time!

Bubba was the first to visit our new addition!

What a beautiful boy!

We were induced at 6:30 a.m. and had Jackson at 11:52 a.m. - we'll take it!

There's our new little bundle of joy, JC!

Jackson Caleb Uptain was born at 11:52 a.m. on Tuesday, June 17th, 2008! He weighed 8 lbs. 4 oz. and was 20 inches long! We are delighted with our precious new addition!

Here's a neat rock bridge that we found at the Japanese Tea Garden.

Here is Mission Conception, which we saw our last day - neat!

This is one of the beautiful homes we saw in the King William Historic District! I especially love the swing hanging WAY down from the tall tree on the right - aahhhh!

We had originally planned on going out to a wildflower farm in Fredricksburg, but the flowers weren't blooming yet. So, we were thrilled to find a whole wildflower area at the SA Botanical Gardens dedicated to wildflowers in the hill country, and to see so many blooming - what a treat!

I LOVED all these flowers in bloom at the SA Botanical Gardens!

We loved the purple blooms on the tree behind Scott - aahhhh!

Here are some beautiful desert roses - wow!

They had some beautiful, HUGE hibiscus flowers in the conservatory as well!

We got to see some really beautiful orchids in the conservatory of the San Antonio Botanical Gardens! And, no, Professor Plum was not killed in THIS conservatory with the rope!

With us being at Mission San Jose just a week after Easter, a lot of the decorations were still up - neat!

Peek a boo!

We attended a Mariachi mass while we were at Mission San Jose, which was very interesting. Jackson really liked the Mariachi music, kicking like crazy when the trumpets kicked in especially - funny!

One of the missions we went to is Mission San Jose. We went on a 45-minute walking tour that was very good and interesting.

Do you like my new outfit???

This picture cracked us up with the giraffe's mouth so funny!

For some reason, I was one of the main attractions at the petting zoo area! The light-colored goat came and ripped the bag of food I had out of my hand, not for the food but the paper bag it came in! The goat at my feet is actually chewing on my shoelaces while the black and white goat licked the back of my knee. Wild!

The ostriches and emus scared us the most, that's for sure! One car behind us threw their entire bag of food out the window trying to get one to leave them alone!

These zebras were our favorites! And, boy, were we their favorites too! Do you think our food had anything to do with it?!

Up close and personal!

Here's some horseplay we saw while at the park... Or ox-like animal play! :)
