Happy 2nd Birthday!!

ok so Jackson's bday was awhile ago...it was the third of December and I am just now getting around to posting!
He loves this truck!
Our little Tiger Woods!

Our Little Man!

Jackson had grown out of all of his church clothes so we got him some new ones. I think his dad has this very same outfit (minus the clip-on tie). Now that is a cute face!
He looks so grown up!

Trick or Treat!

We went trick or treating with the Russell's. Lauren was dressed as a poodle!
Half way through Jackson's bag got so heavy he had to drag it on the pavement. His cute little pumpkin bag that Kate's gramma got him last year is filthy now. We tried to carry it for him a dozen time but he just wouldn't have that. So, I watched as it got drug through puddles and mud and everything else along the way!
He wouldn't even let us carry it once we got home. Poor, poor little bag.

KUNG FU FIGHTER!

Jackson got to wear Sam's old karate costume! He loved it and so did every one else!

Halloween Party

On Halloween, we met up with Xander and Hunter at the library for the "Spooktackular" event! Which was SOOOO crowded we didn't end up stayin long!

They just wouldn't stay put long enough to get a picture of them all together!

The Pumpkin Farm!

Last night we met up with the Russells at Mother Nature's Pumpkin Farm. It was so fun, there was a moon bouncy thing, hay ride, animals, and in the end the kids got to pick a pumpkin and decorate it! Jackson had so much fun! This pumpkin weighs 312 pounds!!

Pickin' Punkins!

Emma is the sheep on the end and Jackson is the piggy, hmmm...don't know where Lauren is though.
Lookin' at a cow!
Drivin' a tractor....this of course was Jackson's favorite part!
This cow begged for attention!
It didn't take him long to find the one that he wanted!

Sweet Little Babies!

Finally, I am able to post some pictures of my new nephew and niece. This is Gabriel George Eddins, Heather went in for a C-section a couple of weeks ago and we were all surprised when Gabriel weighed in at 7 pounds 12 ounces. We were expecting a 14 pound baby! He looks just like Isaiah!
Hmm..I am not sure which one this is!! I think it's Gabriel.....I think!
And I am guessing from the bow (of course it is blue, heaven forbid they put a PINK bow in her hair!) that this is Brooklan Alaine Mairs, she looks just like her brother Koen, who I might add is having a little bit of difficulty getting used to her hogging his mommy!


Ooooooooooooohhhhhhh I can't wait to meet them!

Rhino Buns of Steel!

HELLO? I just love the background in this picture! Can't get better than that! Jackson, Matt and I went to the zoo on Saturday the temperature was in the upper 80's (wooooo chilly!). He was so excited to see the monkeys! He wanted them to jump in his arms. They were swinging in the trees right across from us.

Funny Shots

Just like daddy.
Silly face!

The Zoo

We met up with our friends at the zoo again! We had so much fun that we bought a pass and now we can go everyday if we want to! YIPPPEE!! Not only did we look at the animals but there were times when the kids actually acted like animals!! Jackson picked up some good little tricks from his friends Hunter (Yellow shirt, the only one OUT of his stroller!). The best thing he learned was to climb a fence! Oh what fun to live with the animals!!

Intrigued by the monkeys!

Nice Goat!

Ah, the cute little goat!! Jackson got a kick out of petting the filthy animals! At one point two of them started butting heads and I was right in the middle of it! Can you imagine, the headlines would say "Woman Butted to Death at the Petting Zoo!" Ok, so I probably wouldn't have died, but I did get my toes stepped on and it hurt!

MY TRACTOR!

Jackson thought it was so great that he got to ride a tractor that was just his size! (In case you can't tell, he is poppin' a wheely!!)" YEE HAW! Apparently, so did Xander and Hunter!
Hunter really wants to ride it! Jackson is still having fun!

Sittin' back, relaxing just watching the game!

I couldn't resist this photo op!! Jack stole my cherry limeade and snuggled up on the couch (ok so I actually put him up on the couch) and enjoyed a few minutes of football with his dad! How fun. His new favorite sport is golf or "tiger woods" as he calls it!!

Dancin' in Monkey Village

Jackson and Xander just couldn't resist dancing when we went to see the monkeys. We were lucky enough to have a monkey right in front of us on the ground, but Jackson ran at full force towards the little thing and it got scared and ran off!

Jackson's favorite part of all was getting to ride the train all around the zoo! On the way home he kept saying "train fun, train fun". All in all it was a good day!

Phoenix Zoo

This morning we woke up bright and early and met our friends from the Bratpack( our little play group), at the zoo! It was a very hot day and we didn't last too long but we had a good time. These are just some of our friends that we met up with: Xander, Hunter, Jackson, Carson, Allie, and J.C! Fun! Fun! Fun!

Naked Nap!

Hmmm....I put Jackson in his bed for a nap with his diaper on and when I returned to get him out AFTER his nap this is how I found him. Now I know why I kept hearing "diaper, diaper" as I was walking in. Oh and I probably should mention that he peed out of the little mesh side! NICE!

Fun at the Splash Pad

We hit the splash pad today with some friends to cool off! Jackson had fun, and while there were many photo opportunities, these are all the ones that I got!
