Jackson's Montessori School Field Trip to Scholtz Farm

I was so excited to be able to go with Jackson on his field trip with his montessori class to Scholtz Farm.   We had so much fun seeing the animals, going on the tour, feeding the chickens and picking out a pumpkin.

Jackson makes cookies!

Jackson decided to help mommy make cookies. It was so much fun.  We made one of his favorites...white chocolate cranbery cookies.

Fun trip to the Puyallup Fair

We had so much fun going to the Puyallup Fair this year.   Jackson was way more interested in the animals and especially the rides!  We could totally go broke at the fair each year if we had more than one child!   Jackson was spoiled but it won't always be that way so we thought he might as well have a ton of fun and go on a bunch of rides. We ran into our friends the Gerrys.  Jackson had fun going on rides with Kingston... We finished the night with some yummy funnel cakes...Craig's favorite!

Family Picnic at Great Uncle John's

Every year, the Longmate (my grandfather's side) of the family gets together at Great Uncle John's house.  His house is on the bay in Silverdale.  I have very fond memories of going to Uncle John's picnic every year as a kid.   For as long as I can remember, I don't think I've ever missed a year.

Jackson had a great time playing on the beach and looking for seashells.

The weather was great and we all had a great time visiting with family.

Visit with the Stockdales

Jackson and I had a wonderful visit with the Stockdales back in August!  Jackson had such a great time playing with Bella and Grayson.  It was so nice to relax and just hang out.  Thanks to Dave, Teresa and I got to go out and have dinner and go shopping a couple nights which was super fun!  Next time, hopefully Craig can come too!

Swimming Lessons

Jackson had his first swimming lesson last night.  He was a bit reluctant to get in the pool but once he did, he had a blast.  He can't wait till his next lesson on Wednesday.

Family Day at the Zoo and Owens Beach

We had such a fun family day on Saturday at the Zoo and Owens Beach.

We went to the zoo for most of the day.  Jackson is learning about the Safari at school so he was so excited to see the animals.  It was a cooler day so most of the animals were out and up close which was great so Jackson could be able to see them well. Last year when we went, most were hiding in the trees and with Jackson's vision, he wasn't able to see them.

He had so much fun. His favorite animal was the beaver that he saw. He really enjoyed seeing the elephants, fish, tiger, and riding on the camel.  Here are some of the pics we were able to take:
