Jackson's best friend: "Mr. Puppy"

This little TY stuffed dog is known around our house as "Mr. Puppy". He is one of Jackson's very best friends and goes almost everywhere with him. As Jackson approaches his 2nd birthday, Puppy has been staying home more often when we go run errands, etc... but around the house and definitely to bed, Puppy is there!

PlayDoh (& sun in our eyes!)

a few more of little Kate...

a few more of cute/silly Jackson...

Just can't get enough of her sweet face!

Reading... a favorite & preferred activity!

Giddy Up!

Jackson was cracking up while Kate "rode" on his back. He kept saying, "neigh! neigh!" Too Cute!!

Autumn time!

Kate... Cutie Pie!

Not the greatest picture, but they're together!

Another brother/sister picture attempt... I think we're getting closer!

Faces!

Asleep before we begin... and Jackson & Mommy

Cookie Monster

We had some friends over for Brasilian food... they asked if they could bring something, so I had them bring dessert. This included those lovely sugar cookies from the store.
These particular sugar cookies had bright pink frosting. As you can see, they were a big hit with Jackson.
What was even better is that our friend is a bit of a "funny guy" and showed Jackson that it was funny to rub the frosting all over his face, hair, etc.
He went straight to the bath tub after he finished what he wanted of the cookie! (Even with a pink face, he is such a handsome little boy!!)

Big Girl

Kate is getting so strong! She holds her little head up really well... Parker has been anxious to put her in this bumbo chair, but I've held him off because they really need to be able to have good neck control... I guess she's ready because he's been putting her in it every now and then. Sweet little girl!

Baby Kate's 8 week check-up

97th percentile for weight... 13lb. 5 oz. (she knows how to eat!)
head: 50th %
length: 95th %


Yes, she DOES look SO much like her big brother... since he's so cute, we're okay with that! ;-)

This is crazy! What will he say?

Fed up with the political bologna? Well, apparently Parker and some professors at school are too. They started this internet thing as a joke and now it's all over the place. You have to watch the footage his professor just sent to us! Pretty funny! So much for Ontario, Oregon... HELLO, WASHINGTON D.C.! What I want to know is, what will he say in front of thousands of people when he finally has to face all of this? Your guess is as good as mine!
