Thanksgiving

We had a great time spending Thanksgiving with Craig's family in Springfield, Idaho near Blackfoot. It was a very long drive (we left at 5:30pm and arrived at 7:00am) but it was well worth it. It was wonderful to have all of our families together!

Jackson's New Toy

The doctors said that we should get Jackson an exersaucer that has alot of activity items because it will help his eye development.

Luckily...he loves it!

Jackson's First Cereal

We had so much fun trying to feed Jackson cereal for the first time....

Jackson loves talking on the phone. Almost every night, he talks up a storm to Grandma Jackson. They usually talk for a couple minutes and Jackson ends the conversation by pressing the buttons or trying to eat the phone! :)

Check out our safari guy...

Jackson's 1st Halloween

Jackson dressed up and had his first halloween party at daycare.

During the day, he was a ball player



In the evening, he was our little pumpkin. We took him trick or treating to the neighbor and he got his first halloween treat - tootsie roll suckers that Mom and Dad enjoyed! :) We look forward to the day when Jackson can say "Trick or Treat."

Cousins

Here is cute picture of Jackson and his big cousin Jaidyn. Jaidyn loves her new cousin Jackson. Jaidyn is 2 and thinks the world of him. This picture is of them sitting in the foyer of the church building up in Seattle over the weekend. Jaidyn thought it was cool to put her arm around him. Isn't Jackson getting so big? I can't believe that he is already 5 months old. Time flies....

Jackson - 4 months old

Things have been a whirlwind over the last month. Stephanie dreadfully went back to work on September 2nd. Jackson has a wonderful person watching him that we've been blessed with. Jackson is adjusting well with being at daycare.

As in the picture, he's always got something on his mind :)

Our Seattle Trip

Jackson and I spent two great weeks up in Seattle. Craig didn't get to go with us... one of us has to work :) We spent time with friends and family. Mom, Steven, Jackson and I went camping at the ocean with my grandparents and aunts and uncles. We had a great time even though the weather was pretty rainy. Grandma wasn't super excited about having a 3 month old in a tent so Mom and I got to stay in a hotel which we were grateful for especially after it poured down rain. Craig came up on Friday and spent the weekend with us. He was very excited so see Jackson. Jackson and I were very excited to see him too. Two weeks is a long time to be away. Kristi, my sister in law had her 2ND baby girl, Olivia on Saturday so we got to spend some time with her family on Saturday and Sunday before we came home. Here are some pictures from our trip...

Kristi and I have matching Hooter Hiders :)
