awfuls

ME: Jackson, what do you want for breakfast?
Me: Do you want some waffles?

JACKSON: YES! I want some awfuls!

Update

Well, as some of you don't know it is snow days up here in Rexburg. The temperature has been about 9 or 10 degrees, but the news says it feels like -31 after windchill. YEAH, I KNOW! So we have been cooped up inside by the fire, slowly going crazy!! Well, today it was 30 above and we decided to whip outside to build a snow man! We had a lot of fun!
Jackson and Porter in their snow gear...Jackson is singing his cares away!

Porter Baby!

Our snowman! Porter was outside for a good 20minutes before he decided he'd had enough! I just took him in and let him stand up in our BIG window and watch us finish up the snowman...It was really cute so see Porter poking his head over the window seal to watch Jackson and I finish our snowman.

Jackson had a lot of fun. He did alot of the work, He's gotten to be a pretty good snowman builder! He loved it when I put the scarf on the snowman!

Last weekend we had the cousins up from Nevada! Jackson got to spend some good quality time with Triston, they are really good boys!

And Porter loved having someone smaller than him around! Porter and Weston!

Thanks Jack and Jenay for coming up to see us! We can't wait to see you again!

Jackon's Birthday

Jackson turned THREE years old. January 20th. We celebrated his birthday on the actual day but I am just barely posting it! We had a BIG spaghetti dinner with grandma and grandpa and Jenny and Leo. (Juston and Nicole were in the hospital with their new little baby) But we had a lot of fun!
A big bite of cake!
Jackson also got a mini basketball from grandma and grandpa and a hoop to go with it, from his other Grandma and Grandpa, Which BOTH the boys love to play with!

Jackson also got a flute, which Porter loves to play with
The great, the wonderful, the "I've been waiting since before christmas" IRONMAN!! I was SO excited for him to open this present, I thought it was going to be this big HURRAH, I got the video camera out, and he opened it and said..oh, ironman. And just stared at it....it was very anticlimatic


Jackson got "How to Train your Dragon" he LOVES this movie, we have rented it 6 times from redbox... so I thought it was time to buy it (and we have watched it at least 6 times since)scroll down for more birthday!

Jackson's Birthday!!

YEAH!! A family pictures, they are rare and you can see why, haha! Happy Birthday Jackson!!

I made him an Ironman Cake and he was pretty dang excited over it. I think he was more excited about the ironman cake than he was the ironman toy! It was an Ice Cream cake I made from scratch and I was pretty pleased with the way it turned out. Just as good as Baskin Robbins! (not as pretty though)


Now last year for his birthday breakfast I made him Mickey Mouse pancakes, so I thought, HEY why not make it a tradition?!?! So I had a lot of fun making these for Jackson.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACKSON! I love my little boy!

Mustache Mania

My Baby Shepards!!

Okay I posted out of order, so sorry, in this and the next post I will be repeating myself in some ways... SO we reinacted the christmas story and I just wanted to show off the costumes. Judd's mom has a suitcase full just for this once a year play. So here is the play, Jackson was dressed as a shepard, but demanded to be the star, and he did SO good holding the star up the whole time. He tried hard to get it over their heads...I know he was just holding a star, but I was just SO proud of him, it almost made me cry that he was taking his job so serious! It was extra cute becuase his head piece was hanging in his eyes so he could hardly see but he didn't even figet with it.

Oh and Porter just laid down in front of Juston and Nicole so he suddenly became baby Jesus in that instant, even though we had originally planned on a baby doll! Nicole made a GREAT Marry with her prego belly. And if you watch the video you could hear Titan and Jackson screaming back and forth at eachother off and on...so It wasn't perfect


Porter dress as a shepard, the back of him, He looks SOOOOO CUUUUUTE! Even from the back!

Another action shot of Jackson doing a great job!

Julie and Mom following the script, so they could tell us what song to sing, and when to pause, and Dad narrating from the scriptures!

And Judd getting dressed up as a shepard...So if we lived in the desert and had to wear these clothes, I would still think Judd was cute!

My Baby Shepards!!

This year doing the Christmas story play was SOOO much fun. The funnest I've had since I was 8! My little shepard boys were SOOOO cute!! We did this Christmas Eve, as is the traditions in a lot of homes. We did it in my home growing up, and Judd did it in his, and his Mom has been so good to continue the tradition, even when there were no grandbabies! (I also had fun the year I got to play Marry, because I was pregnant with Jackson...that was a fun year too (Judd was the donkey, Hee hee, no he really was!!))ANYHOO! check out the pics
Jackson held the star and he did SO GOOD. The second he saw it he said he wanted to be the star! I just thought that was SOOOOO cute! He stood there and stood there and tried to hold that star up the whole time. (I should give him a star to hold up in church)


This is Moo, Jackson's Cousin

Porter and Jackson, I LOVE THEM. I should dress them like shepards ALL the time!

Porter, with HIS baby Jesus, He kind of knew what was going on...

And Jackson the "Star" of the show... haha even though Im corny, I couldn't resist!
