Playing with uncles & cousins in Seattle

Visiting Grandparents in Seattle

Cousin love caught on camera ;-)

Visiting Brooklynn's side of the family in Seattle, WA during December... Maddie & Jackson always have so much fun playing together, but both have their moments just like all toddlers. Sometimes Maddie & Jackson don't agree. However, usually they just love being together! These pictures were just too funny (from my perspective) not to post.

Getting ready: to move, for Christmas & watching the kids grow too fast!

Kate - 4 months

NEW ADDRESS...

We will be officially moved (though not unpacked & certainly not settled, I'm sure) on Wednesday, December 10th. E-mail me for our new address:

brooklynnussery@yahoo.com

Our cell phone numbers will stay the same for now.

We are considering changing our numbers so that we don't have an out-of-area area code, but we'll let you know when/if we do.

I'll probably send out an e-mail soon as well. We will not have internet until January after we move, though we'll be at our parents' houses for almost 2 weeks, so we will try to post from there. (No promises.)

Until then!

Jackson... weeks away from his 2nd b-day

Jackson is almost 2 years old!

Kate 3-1/2 months old

Photo Updates: Our Pretty Little Lady (Kate)

Time for a new post?

I am working on getting pictures on to my computer from the past few weeks. I have been without a camera for a while now (long story... never buy electronics online!) and the worst part is that it was during a HOLIDAY!!! Let's just say that I've tried not to think about it. So... the new Nikon Digital SLR camera is here, but I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off attempting to finish final papers, projects & final exams and move all in the middle of winter. These are my excuses... I will try to get some pictures up this weekend!

Private Blog as of November 22 (Saturday)

I've been convinced after hearing from a few different people... no big deal, it just means you have to be logged in to view our blog. Just let me know in a comment on this post or via e-mail that you would like access in the future (send me your e-mail because my address book isn't the most updated) and I will send you access. Thanks,
The Ussery Family

Brother/Sister pics... finally together

T-I-R-E-D!!

Just try to focus on the cute kids!

So... this must be true love! I rarely look in the mirror (never really one to spend a lot of time in the bathroom), so when I took these pictures and then looked at them on the camera, I was pretty grossed out. Poor Parker! I can't figure out if my eyes semi-closed during each picture because of the flash or if I really just look like this. Well, I guess a good New Year's Resolution would be to spend a couple more minutes in the bathroom each day! Wish me luck!

Playing around

Just an average morning...

I think she's either practicing to play the piano or maybe ride a motorcycle? (Not if her Mom has anything to say about it though... no 2-wheeled motorized things in our family... too scary!)
SO SWEET!!! They say a picture is worth a thousand words... this is the kind of big brother Jackson is... these puppies are probably his most prized possession. I cannot count how many times I have seen him give them to Kate; in her carseat, on her little gym mat, while we're feeding her, etc. He's such a good little boy... Kate is lucky to have him as her big brother!
People who know Jackson well already know that this boy all but came out with his legs/ankles crossed. He even sleeps this way; in his carseat, watching his DVDs, constantly. This is a pretty typical shot of Jackson morning: drinking his milk, (though I'm surprised he's not rubbing puppy's ears... that's usually how he drinks his sippies), ankles crossed, and usually with his pacifier in hand (you can't see it, but he's reaching for it because it fell out of his hand)
