Child Protegy

Jackson is only 5 months old and he already knows how to read Dr. Seuss...

He knows how to have lively conversations with stuffed bears...

And in this picture I was buckeling him in his car seat, and he told me in 5 different languages that the straps were too tight!

What can I say? Judd and I have a genious on our hands

Jack, Jenay and Triston Riley

Triston James Riley was just five days old in these pictures. This is Jacks little baby, and Jack is Judds brother! So now Jackson has 2 cousins on the Riley side! He is a beautiful baby and he makes Jackson look HUGE!

Dawn

HaHa ha! I LOVE this picture Dawn, don't kill me for posting this!

Dawn is successfully getting Jackson to copy her facial expressions.

This was Jackson's first time meeting Dawn, her little girl Hayden, and Gene, Dawn's husband. I think Jackson really liked all three of you!

Dawn was my roommate at college for TWO years! They live in California so it's a rare occation that we get to see them. They came to Utah and we had a short visit. But we will make it up to you when we come out to California next time!

If you want to see more of Dawn and her cool family (Gene is in the Marines) you can visit her blog through my link!

More in California

Grandmama got this adorable little sport suit for Jackson. It fits him perfect and he has worn it to church every sunday since. We love the hat and bow tie!


This is Jackson with my oldest brother Roland and his family. We had a lot of fun in Visalia. We went to Tokyo Gardens where they cook your meal right at your table with fire and tricks it's really fun.
Jackson and Roland are making the same face! How funny. Jackson and Kayla watching TV. Christine and my Gorgeous Nieces, Heidi and Emily.

cousins

Jackson was sitting in Ashley's stroller and she kept sitting up to peek at him hangin' out there. She was very curious.


At Sea World we had Jackson in his umbrella stroller and anytime we were sitting around waiting for a show to start, eating lunch, sitting and watching the aquariums the kids would gather around him and make faces at him, poke him, try to tickle him, it was really fun to watch. Jackson LOVED the attention. He just smiled and cooed at all his cousins.




As many cousins as we could round up. Brooklyn, Ashley, Becca, Aaron, Abby, Chelsea, Alex, Ruthie, and Jaynie.

Wood Cousins

Jackson has a lot of girl cousins on the Wood side. In total he is grandchild #26 for Grandpa Wood. It was so fun at sea world to see all the cousins together. I loved watching Jackson with all of them, he would just watch them with so much curiousity.

After we went to San Diego we drove back to Visalia. While we were there Aunt Jami and Cousin Ben came to see Jackson. It was so fun to see baby Ben walking all over the place. Jami, Judd and I took the babies to the Sequoia National Park where we saw the General Sherman tree. Which is HUGE!! we had so much fun, (Aunt Jami has all of those pictures. We got some great ones of the two cousins together!)

Grandpa's Yatch

This was Jackson's first time on Grandpa's boat! Grandpa took us cruising in the Harbor of San Diego and we went around Coronado Island and saw the famous hotel. Jackson liked the boat alot, but he wasn't too fond of his life vest.

San Diego, California

This is just a glimpse of Jackson's first trip to San Diego. We did so many fun things with Grandpa and Grandmama. We went to the beach and Sea World and Ghiradelli for ice-cream. We had alot of fun.
