This sums up our family vacation in July. We went to California for Brian's family reunion and to spend time with Grandparents. Jackson's second trip to the beach. He has to taste everything to decide if he likes it or not. I think he liked the beach. Or maybe he was just smiling because there were all the bikini's everywhere.

Winter blues....

Jackson loves to put my shoes on and walk around the house. He looks even more like Ronald McDonald when he puts Brian's shoes on

Just our regular dinner routine, Brian reading the paper and Jackson with Spaghetti sauce all over the face.
Jackson loves to help shovel - I hope he still does when he is a teenager. He even borrows the neighbors shovel when he can't get to ours....

All bundled up at the zoo for a winter outing. Here we are by the bears

And then we went to where the alligators lay....

Christmas 2008

All bundled up and ready to play outside. It takes longer to put on the snow outfit than we actually stay outside, but at least we got out of the house this day....

Jackson's two favorite toys the train and the phone. Hopefully they haven't passed a law yet that says you can't talk on the phone while you are on the choo choo....

Jackson likes to talk on the phone a lot more than his dad does....


This has nothing to do with Christmas, but I came home from work and Jackson had fallen asleep like this in the office, so Brian just left him there hugging the pillow.
Jackson's Rencher cousins at Christmas, Tyler, McKay, Jackson, Halley, Sariah, and Katie.

Fall pictures

Mark and Kristi came to visit and we went to Wheeler Farm.... Jackson was attacked by a goose - but he pretended to feed them leaves, so I don't blame them for attacking. Here is his first and only tractor ride up to this point.





Jackson loves to play on the computer. Hopefully he will teach me how to fix it when he grows up.
In case you didn't know what team we root for, here is a hint....


Jackson's favorite sleeping pose, he is so kick back now....
