Faux Gingerbread

We spent the evening making a "gingerbread" house out of graham crackers.  Jackson was so excited when I asked him if he wanted to make one.  He had no idea what it was he was just thrilled to get to "work" with so much candy!  (The kid has a sweet tooth like you wouldn't believe).
He did a great job, and didn't eat too much candy.  
I think he was proud of his creation.  Now, the hard part is keeping him from helping himself to little treats throughout the week....hmmm, would it be bad to throw it away after he's asleep?  Having it around could pose a problem....

A true blessing

Well, last weekend we had both sets of grandparents out to celebrate Jackson's third birthday (yes my baby is three!) and Charlie's blessing.  But me, being the dope that I am, forgot to get family pictures after church.  So, this Sunday, before we changed our clothes, I ran over to our neighbors house and asked them to take our picture.  Keep in mind that Charlie was starving and we had pushed him past him limit, otherwise the child never cries.  So, this is our family the week after Charlie boy was blessed....we just love him and he truly is a blessing in our home.  

All I want for Christmas is.....

 Last night we packed up the kidlets and braved the windy, cold weather (what was it like 60 degress??) and headed over to the outside mall and had a visit with Santa.  I wasn't sure what reaction Jackson would have to him, because the kid is still so shy.  But I am happy to say he jumped right up on Santa's knee and smiled for the camera! 
  He then proceeded to tell Santa the long list of things he wants to appear under his tree this Christmas, some of which included a bike, cars, (of course) and  a ball....what can I say, he is a true boy! "Santa" has already taken care of the bike and boy it is a cool one!! I can't wait to see his face when he opens up that one.  

This is what I get to wake up to every morning!

I just love this boy!

The Birthday

    His favorite bday present.  This kid loves cars!  

My baby boy turned three today..

Three years ago we welcomed little Jackson Matthew into the world.  He was such a good baby, he hardly ever cried and he slept all the time.  
He grew up so fast and with each new month he showed more and more of his silly personality...
As he grew he just kept getting cuter and cuter......
He now has a personality all his own....
And today we celebrated the past three years of his life.....We love this little guy, he brings so much happiness into our lives.  I can't wait to see the little man he will turn into.  Wow, three years goes by fast.
