Annual Mahannual

The 2008 Annual Mahannual was held at Schwartz Park in Cottage Grove. Lots of fun was had by all. It was fun seeing Jackson enjoy the new adventure of camping. He had lots of fun playing with all his cousins.


Jackson got to try out riding a tricycle.....

The most fun was had carting the water jugs around camp.

Happy Birthday To Our Sweet Boy!

Birthday Breakfast in Bed.

Hard to believe a year has past since Jackson's Birth. It is strange how it has been the longest but shortest year at the same time. Reflecting back it has been amazing to watch him change from our little baby into a little boy. We have loved watching his many firsts. Your Mommy and Daddy love you so much Jackson! Happy 1st Birthday.

Itty Bitty Messy Art (Jackson)

I signed Jackson up for an Art class for babies. He had lots of fun exploring the paint.

Jackson scrapped the traditional painting methods and used a rubber ball.

He preferred tasting the paint before putting his ideas on paper.

After experimenting, he felt his art was best represtented on his body rather than on paper.
