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....

Our little trash man (sanitation engineer). He loves to push and pull things and was helping me take the garbage out, literally he took it out and around the block.

The two cute ones of the Family (says Brian), this was mostly a picture of Jackson's new short haircut.

Our adventures this fall, at Wheeler Farm




Cool Pirate ship at Engh Gardens, Jackson had to test out (AKA lick) many pumpkins, I hope he doesn't get some wierd pumpkin-coli bacteria.

Jackson was a tiger for Halloween.

More Family Pictures....
This is my favorite picture.... Doesn't it look like a Gap advertisement?

We had professional pictures taken for Jackson's first birthday - Here he is the future center for the BYU Cougars....
Here we are in all our glory

We went to Thanksgiving Point in August and saw the farm animals - Jackson isn't really afraid of them he just wants to touch them and shake the fence a bit

Here are Jackson's friends in our ward - Bethany, Kenshin, Ivy and Big J.
We went to the state fair with Grandma and Grandpa Rencher - we had a great time and Jackson only put a few things in his mouth, like a goats ear and some hay to name a few.

I came home from work one day and found them both taking a nap.... my two snoozers....


A small town in Colorado - with Grandma Sanders, me, Kristi, Beth and dad and little J., Mark is hiding behind the camera

Our trip to Colorado to visit Brian's brother Steve and sister-in-law Beth and his Grandma Sanders - here she is....


Jackson's new favorite way to sleep with his buns in the air....
Learning to eat with a spoon.... messy times 100 - sometimes I think his dad should wear a bib too....
