Happy 10th, Jackson! (and a few other things)

I became an aunt for the first time ten years ago today.

That means JACKSON IS TEN YEARS OLD!

He started out skinny, but filled out into this lovable squish in just a few months...

...and now suddenly he's a big kid!

Now, a loving message to all my nieces and nephews: STOP GROWING! You're all getting too grown up too fast, and it's absurd.

And now: stuff I've been up to in the past two weeks:

My driver's side door handle was replaced. With a black handle. Klassy.

I went to Utah the first weekend in April. Gosh, I love my hometown...

I swooned a time or two on the drive home...

Gorgeous fatty cloud.

I mean, really. #swoon

I got to spend some quality time with him

...and her

...and him

Marshall and Kaylee took me on a hike near their house.

Marshall found a slug on a stick on our hike.

And this here tire swing was our final destination.

Golly, she's cute.

Derek relaxed in the stroller.

I got to play with my boys Seth and Emmett (and Jackson, too!)

And I made some salsa cream cheese bread.

 I also spent some quality time with my girls Jane and Julie, but...I didn't take any pictures (shame on me!). 

I hope all is well for all y'all. Oh, and Happy Tax Day!
