da da da da da da, they say it's your birthday!

Yep, he's officially one year old! Here are a few pics from the party:

Um, hope you're into penguins, Jameson...

Pre-party revelry...
Liz Teter's off to France, but she's not going to meet any guys more suave than Jameson over there...
Where's the cake?
Ah, there it is.
With Pilar...
Frogs + bus + soundtrack=hours of fun
The Barnetts approve of this party.

Back to Texas...

Jameson recently returned from Texas, where he saw his Uncle Dan get married to his Aunt Emily. He also had a dress rehearsal for his first birthday party:

"So, what's that on the ceiling, Great-Grandpa?"

With cousin Katelynn...
... and cousin Kendall.
"No, really, I don't have to go to the bottom of the slide."

"OK, it rocked."
No visit to Texas would be complete without a tractor ride. Getting it from Grandpa just makes it all the more fun.
With Uncle Anthony...
Uncle Chris and Jessica...
Great-grandma time!
"OK, I can't blow the candle out yet - any volunteers?"
"I could get used to this cake thing."
So sweet...

Uncle Anthony and Aunt Kari..
With Natalie and Zachary...
... and, of course, no trip to Texas would be complete without an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.

Potpourri

I've been really bad about updating the site recently, so here's a whole slew of pictures with no common theme...

Yes, I know I'm cute.

Emulating Dad's goatee...

Bathtub or washing machine - either one works...

At his first concert - Emmylou Harris at Wolf Trap

Rock on!

March!

With Auntie Heather...

Because of thunderstorms in Baltimore, this unfortunately qualifies as Jameson's first experience watching fireworks...

... but at least he enjoyed it...

Summertime blues

Mess away...

Jameson doing his best Sean Penn/paparazzi impression

Block time with Grandpa...

Astros vs. Nationals

Divided loyalties - Red Sox hat, Astros jersey - can't we all get along? Grandma says no - it's the Sox or bust!

10 months!

Thankfully, this was taken before he morphed into the Hulk...

California Star

jameson just returned from his first visit to California. He seemed to like the humidity-free weather (75 and sunny has its charms). From the OC to San Francisco, here are a few choice pics...

Let's face it - he just rocks

Yes, Aunt Kia, I KNOW I'm adorable, but thanks for validating!

Jenna Grace and Jameson engage in a "cute-off" at Laguna Beach...

Jameson's first motorcycle ride (and probably his last, with these gas prices)

With Maurissa...

Yes, he's got the adorable pose down...

See the previous comment...

Vanessa wanted to experiment with an "old school" car seat, but thankfully she changed her mind
That's Alcatraz in the background, which we thankfully didn't have to use for a "time-out"
Jameson envisions a future life with a toupee...
