My dad has become a softy in his old age.
Yesterday was my Dad's birthday. I thought that I would take a minute or two to wish him a Happy Birthday and let everyone know how he has affected me. It seems the older he gets the more emotions he show. (hence the title of the post) I have seen a new side of my dad emerge ever since Jackson was born. Does it have to do with him receiving the official status of being a "Grandpa?" Maybe it just him becoming a softy. Either way, I like it. I enjoy seeing him play with Jackson, and to give him hugs. It has also been wonderful for him to open up about himself and his childhood. Growing up I would only hear about my dad's childhood when he was telling it to someone else, usually my Uncle Steve or for some reason my Uncle Joe. It's wonderful to hear about his experiences. Maybe it is the fact that we ask him about it now and he knows that we are interested. I wish I would have asked him sooner. Anyways, keep up the good stories, Happy Birthday Dad, and thanks for being such a great Dad!
He are some pictures from our Thanksgiving breakfast with my Dad's side of the family. It was wonderful. We missed those that weren't able to make it. You missed out on some really good food and conversation.
I look forward to see you all on Christmas. - Justin

There is a new sheriff in town
Thought that I would post some pictures from Halloween. Jackson was a sheriff and me and Melissa were a cowboy and cowgirl.
Jackson had so much fun trick or treating for the first time. He really enjoyed seeing all the different kids dressed up. He was so happy. He was also excited to get some candy.
We took him to our ward house for there trunk-n-treat. It was the first time that me and Melissa had ever been to one. I guess you have to be right on time or early because we were 30 min late and most of the candy was gone. I think that the trunk-n-treat is a really good idea for little kids but when Jackson gets older I think we take him door to door. It just seems more like Halloween to me if you do it that way.

The little monster
Just thought I would post some pictures of Jackson. He is getting so big and he is getting into everything. The other day he found a new bottle of syrup and figure out how to open it. It even had one of the seals. He decided to have some fun with it oh the hardwood. (pictured above.)
We finally decide to give Jackson his first hair cut. As you can see it was starting to get a little too wild. Melissa has been cutting my hair ever since we got married and she was scared to do Jackson but I had to be done. She did a wonderful job and Jackson was really good for a one and a half year old.
We love our little Jacky boy so much! Isn't he cute?
