Jackson's first football game, Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Stark and Uncle Matt

Jackson attended his first San Diego State football game on August 30th. He came to cheer his dad on in their first 2008 game against Cal Poly. Grandpa St.Pierre, Grandpa and Grandma Stark, and Uncle Matt all attended. Thank goodness I had so much help because I was a little nervous bringing Jackson to such a large event. Jackson had a great time, he hardly slept! Everyone took turns holding and playing with him. We left a little early, which we won't do again because we ended up losing the game in the last seconds of the game :( and we got lost on our way home!

Jackson's a big boy!

Last night we moved Jackson from the bassinet to his crib. I was checking on him every hour. He slept like a baby :) He loves his crib! Thanks Orianna, Chance and Emma for letting Jackson use your crib! :) Thank you Walker and Tyler for letting Jackson use your bassinet! :)

Visit with Grammy and Grandpa Ansley

Jackson had fun being held and spoiled by Grammy and Grandpa Ansley! We went shopping at Babies R Us....Grandpa Den's favorite! We got the computer set up, put our clock together, and set up baby toys. Brian and I had our first date since Jackson was born, while Grammy and Grandpa stayed home with Jackson. Also we took Jackson to get weighed where he reached a whopping 9 lbs! Jackson can't wait to help on the ranch...especially driving the swather :)

Jackson's First Week Home

We took Jackson home on Monday. We could not wait! Jackson was a little guy so it took some work trying to keep him awake to eat. He loves his sleep! Everyone pitched in to build us a new patio in our new backyard...it is beautiful! I stayed inside and enjoyed being a new mommy :) Thank you to our family,Grandma and Grandpa Stark, Grandma and Grandpa St.Pierre, and Aunt Courtney for all of your support, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of everything during this difficult and amazing week. :) Here is a link to more pics! http://picasaweb.google.com/sssastark/DropBox?authkey=jnFwUPmHx_4##

Jackson Rodger Stark has arrived!

Jackson was born at 9:49 p.m. on Saturday June 28, 2008. He was 6 lbs 3 ozs and 19 inches long….just a little guy! I was induced at about 6:30 am and started going into labor at about 2 p.m. My doctor broke my water at about 7 pm. The doctor told us that I should be in labor for about 6 hours and I told her no way Jackson was coming by 10…what a good boy already listening to his mom! Delivery went pretty smoothly, with the exception of the epidural not working! Brian was an awesome coach and got me through…with a little bit of screaming! The second epidural luckily kicked in the last 20 minutes helping me to keep pushing. Ladies who go though childbirth all natural wow! Jackson is now the first grandchild in the family so he won't be spoiled at all! To view more pictures go to http://picasaweb.google.com/sssastark/JacksonSDelivery?authkey=bTfH8SeSrQg##
