Any takers?

Adam and I decided that we should put all of the stuff we had in boxes and put them in the empty totes we had leftover from our move. It is so easy to entertain kids, Jackson had a ball with the empty boxes!






I don't think that I will ever get a normal picture of Jackson with his eyes open! He always looks like he is on something!



Ok Grandma, he is already to go! Are you ready for him?!




We have tons of cabinets in our kitchen and not enough stuff to put in them so we have an empty one on the bottom next to the dishwasher. This is Jackson's hiding spot where he usually puts some of his cars and trucks. I was doing dishes and found him like this! He is such a crack up!






Chalk all over his bum!



Jackson loves to be outside!




Random everyday pictures

I am not an artist but I was running out of ideas of things to draw one day when Jackson wanted to be outside! I thought it was cute!

I was folding laundry (as you can see the pile on the couch) and went to put something that I had folded in the basket and found Jackson like this.

My sister in law Liz with her super cute new hair cut and Maddox at Easter.


Jackson and Carley, Adam's sister, playing with sidewalk chalk.



Jackson's chocolate face, I think he was saying "cheese," he has started to say that everytime he sees the camera.



Hands on Museum

My brother Michael and his family came out to visit last month. My mom and Adam had to work most of the time that they were here so we had to think of things for the kids to do so they wouldn't get bored at the house. There is a museum not too far from here that is just for kids and everything is hands on hence the name. The kids had a lot of fun but poor Jackson is the youngest and he couldn't do everything that the older kids wanted to do. This is my neice Kassidi with Jackson after going down a big slide that they have in the middle of the museum.

My neice Savannah and my brother Michael checking out at the grocery store.

Jackson just wanted to push this cart around all day, he is such a boy!











Crazy Jackson!

Jackson likes to be my helper and "sweep," one day I caught him like this with a mouth full of crackers!



Jackson with my phone and the Wii fit, probably calling China!


Showing off his moves. (It wasn't even on!)



So desperate for toys! It is not like he has enough of them in his room!

I know that it has been forever since I have updated our blog but I finally got our internet to work and upload some pictures. Things haven't really changed for us since I last posted but we are doing well and we are excited that the weather has been getting warmer! Jackson loves to play outside with his trucks and loves to go for walks in his stroller. Jackson is the most lovie kid, he is always coming up to me and giving me hugs and kisses which melts my heart everytime! Adam and I got new callings a couple of weeks ago. Adam is the second counselor in the Young Men's and I am the Primary Chorister! I was totally shocked! I have never conducted music in my entire life and when I was in Young Women's I always avoided conducting because I never really want to learn and have to stand up infront of everyone! It has been going really though, I was a little surprised. I still don't know what I am doing as far as waiving my arm goes but it is a lot of fun to teach the kids and hear their sweet voices.






We went to Yorktown for Adam's little sisters baptism in February and on our way we stopped at Burger King and Jackson loved his crown! I thought that he would take it off as soon as I put it on him but surprisingly he kept it on for awhile.



My sweet boys! I went shopping with my mom one night and came home to my boys passed out on the couch! They didn't even flinch when the flash went off!

Long overdue!

I finally have pictures to post! I don't have a lot because I have been a slacker! Things are getting better here in Tennessee! We finally have an apartment and we LOVE it! We have only been here a week so things are still not in order so I will have to post pictures of that later. Adam got a job with Sprint working in one of their call centers dealing with other employees and their families that are on their call plan (when you work for Sprint you can have up to 20 people on your calling plan and pay next to nothing) so some of the people will be grumps when they call. Adam is still going to be going to school in the summer so it will be a good job that he can have while he is in school. We love being here! The ward is awesome and we have made some really good friends in the short time that we have been here. Jackson started Nursery! The first day wasn't so great, he got beat up by another kid around his age, BRAT! I can't tell if he likes it or not yet, he goes on his own but when we go to get him he pitches a fit and the teacher tells us that he is really whiny and acting sad, maybe because he is teething and it is in the middle of his nap time?! Needless to say, Sundays are not the best day for us!
There have been certain things that I have looked forward to when we had kids and one of them was taking a picture of Adam with one of our kids holding hands from behind. (Jackson dropped his hand right when I was taking the pic!) I know, I am weird!

Jackson and cousin Kassidi watching some tv together.

Jackson playing with my GMA's dog at her house. They are both too afraid of each other to really play, Belle was jumping off the chair while I was taking the picture!






This is my Grandaddy's old chair, he passed away in 2000, and it is the most comfortable chair ever! Jackson always asked to get in it when we were there.
