Jackson's first soccer game

Jackson is now playing soccer on a U6 team, the "Seahorses". If you watch the video you can see him score a goal during his first game! He is #8 on the blue team.

Grandpa came to visit!

It was great having my dad come out for a couple days since he was out for business. We've been lucky to have him come out a couple times. We had so much fun making boats, going to Rascals, and dinner. We had a lot of fun together. The kids really liked having Grandpa here.

Some fun times hanging out!

With Jackson at school now in the mornings me and the girls have a little time to hang out together. I love it! As you can see Megan loves her little sister Whitney.





Where's Whitney?





We've had some fun times dressing up in dressup clothes as you can see. Megan just loves the color pink as any girl does and she has to have everything PINK!







So, we had a little fun the other day emptying our lovesac so we could wash it. We emptied all the stuffing onto sheets, then washed the sac, and then filled it up again with big bowls. It took some time. Although, it was nice to clean the huge thing. We might have another adventure cleaning the other one. Yipee!






Sweet Whitney is getting so big! Sorry its a little blurry, I used my phone camera.




We always love going to the park to have a break for me and the kids of course. The kids love to put Whitney in the swing now. She loves it too it seems.





Silly, Skinny Jackson! He loves to wear this container that holds our blocks. I can't believe he can get it on.

Jacksons first day of Kindergarten

So sad, my little Jackson just started Kindergarten. He's so big now, it kills me to think of the days when he was as small as Whitney. That seems like not too long ago even though of course we've been through a lot. Crazy to have a kid in school now. Hard to deal with someone elses schedule and not just mine. He's only doing half day thankgoodness. He's kind of been a little sad leaving home even for the few hours that he does. So, its working out fine doing this instead of full day. Jackson really likes his teacher and loves all the fun things he gets to do in his class as soon as he gets there and all.







We made a fun rice krispie bus to get Jackson excited for school the night before.

Jackson's 5 years old!

So, its been a little while since Jacksons birthday, but our internet hasn't been up and running so I haven't been able to post pictures. But, here they are, especially for my mom. Jackson had a wonderful birthday. We surprised him in the morning by putting balloons between his door and a blanket that was help up by a huge ladder, as pictured below. So that when he opened the door the balloons all fell on him. He loved it and started laughing.





Jackson really wanted a buzz lightyear for his birthday. So, that's what he got.




Of course we had to go to Chuck E Cheese.





Later on we went to the new Kung Fu Panda movie and then went to dinner. I so didn't want to make two cakes for his birthday since I was already making one for his party. So it worked out to put candles in a donut at the restaurant.



Jacksons Kung Fu Panda cake as requested. I've really had a lot of fun making all the kids birthday cakes that they've wanted over the years.




This year for Jacksons Birthday party we had it at the Commons, pictured below, which is a huge indoor play area that just opened a month ago. Its been great to take the kids to when you just need a day out of the house and don't want to go outside where its so humid and hot. It worked out great for his party. We had cake and ice cream, Dave did games like hide n seek with all the kids, and opened presents. It was a lot of fun to see Jackson so excited and having such a fun time.






















Megan was exhausted after the party. She was so tired that she fell asleep right on the floor. I was doing the dishes and I looked over and she was completely out. She has never done this.
