Grants Pass Trip - Great Grandma and Grandpa

New Post

So I know everyone that reads this blog is probably eagerly awaiting new pictures of the boys....but I have misplaced my USB cord to download pictures. I'm sure it will turn up one of these days. Until then here is a list of things we have been up to:

1. Morgan is almost 4 months old (man time flys)
2. Jackson started pre-school. Two days a week.
3. We have a new addition to the family (besides Morgan). A new kitty named Boots.
4. Boots may have been taken from his mother too early; he is fascinated with bottles of milk, pacifiers, and sippy cups filled with milk.
5. Dimple smiles make the 3am wake up call a lot more tolerable.
6. A kitten that steals pacifiers makes the 3am wake up call a lot LESS tolerable.
7. Reward charts really do work for helping keep a pre-schooler stay in bed at night.
8. When trying to teach Jackson about Mother Nature, he some how thinks Mother Nature is our crazy neighbor lady. Now every time she is outside, he wants to tell Mother Nature "Hi".
9. Summer was way too short this year!

April Showers Bring May....Babies

May 23rd Jackson turned three. So hard to believe it had been three years since we brought that little guy home from the hospital. We celebrated in traditional Birthday BBQ style with lots of friends and family. His theme this year was Fire Trucks and it was complete with a Fire Truck Pinata and Fire Truck candles.


And then not three days after Jackson's big day his brother made a surprise entrance to the world. 2am on May 26th my water broke (4 weeks early). So we also celebrated the arrival of Morgan Ray at 5:57pm on May 26th.

Paint

Jackson has been such a big helper with our bathroom remodel project. Here he is diving right in to help us paint.

Need for speed

On you mark, get set, go!

Feeling the Heat

When Jackson grows up he wants to be a Fire Fighter. This is Jackson getting ready to spray the fire hose....
.......again, and again! Jackson's buddy William turned 3 last week and his Mom had the cool idea to go on a fire station tour before the party. The kids had a blast!

Jackson checking out all the equipment on the back of the fire truck.

This is Jackson trying with all his might to carry around the fire fighters axe. The firefighters were very patient with the many questions!

Thank you William for having such a fun birthday party!

Paging Dr. Jackson

Jackson checking for Baby Monkey's heartbeat at 20 weeks.

Jackson checking on Baby Monkey today 34 weeks. He is going to be an excellent big brother!

Too Cute!

This is Jackson and his bud Avery from playgroup. It was so cute to watch this. Jackson asked Avery, "Can I hold your hand?" Then they just went strolling along.

A Few Jackson Updates

Jackson, Daddy & Grandpa trying to fix the tub.

Jackson is very much into his tools right now. I think it has much to do with the bathroom remodel we are doing. Every weekend he is right alongside Daddy & Grandpa learning about tools, power tools, windows, bathtubs. By the time they are done he will be ready to redo the downstairs bathroom by himself.

Jackson snuggling in his tent. He is ready for summer camping trips!

Mr. Fix-It

Nothing a turkey baster couldn't fix :)

We are having a........BOY
