18 months

Our big boy VERY excited for his 1st hair cut for Dad.

The excitement faded VERY fast.


Not happy about his new hair at all.....

but, Lilly made it all better.

Green Day

We started the morning off right with green eggs, pancakes and green milk. Lunch: thanks to the bakery for the green bread for peanut butter sandwiches. For dinner we had corn beef and cabbage (sorry no picture.)

Had a nice walk at the park and then the kids played. Good day. Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Love Day

Lilly all ready for school with her gum ball necklace we made together. We made one for her teacher.

Can't you feel the love they have for each other.

PINK EYE

Super Bowl Sunday sweet Lilly woke up with pink eye. NO FUN. It took a few days and then Jackson got it. I just had to post this picture....it makes my eye itch every time I see it.

Chickens

Grampy got 6 hens and 1 beautiful rooster. The kids love to feed them and get the eggs. Jackson now knows when we get to their house he just heads straight for the backyard to see them.

She is 4

Our baby is 4. It is very hard for me to believe. She is at such a fun age and I just love it. Here are a few things that Lilly is into at 4:

She loves coloring, playing dress up, being a mommy to her little babies,

ballet, hop-scotch, going to the mall and going on dates with her Daddy. And my favorite is helping me bake. She has a GREAT memory. Lilly is a great big sister (most of the time.) She is very loving and caring.

We had a birthday party for her at Pump it Up.

It was raining so hard all week so it was so nice to get out of the house. Lilly was so excited.

Kylee and Lilly Lilly and Wade Grammy, Macie and Lilly Lilly and her cute friend Isaac. Hello Kitty cake.

Jackson having a great time.

The whole party gang.

Pizza time!

Birthday girl.

Lilly just had a great time and we were so happy for all the friends and family that came to help us celebrate.

The morning of Lilly's birthday. Love this picture. Brian surprised her with and Oreo cake. She loved it and so did Jackson.

Gingerbread with Grammy

Lilly really wanted to make gingerbread cookies this year. So, we called Grammy to see if she wanted to join in on the fun. Lilly had a great time and Jackson just wanted to get on the stool the whole time.

I think Lilly ate more frosting then she put on the cookies.

Until next year.

Christmas list

Sweet Lilly

Visit with Great Grandpa

Brian's Grandpa came out from El Paso, TX to visit. He is such a great man and we all had a great time visiting with him. Jackson just loved him.
Love this picture!

The Steelers were playing so of course we had to support our team.

Brian's Uncle Bob came out with Grandpa.

The kids with there Grandma and Great Grandpa.

Jackson Party and Halloween

For Jackson's 1st birthday we decided to have a Halloween/Birthday party. It was a lot of fun and a lot of planning. But, I would have to say it all turned out great. And the birthday boy loved it.

Here are a few pictures of the food we made. I think my favorite was the "Worms for Brains." Brian made a jack-o-lantern face on each orange pepper.

Our little birthday boy loves his thumb.

The kids.

Jackson knows that Grampy has a stash of crackers.

Craziness!

Aunt Katie was able to join the fun.

There was so much candy that the kids were getting a little picky and just picked up the candy that they really liked.

Cake time! (note to self NEVER get a cake with black and orange frosting)

But, he sure loved it.

I think the older kids were a little more into the presents then Jackson.

It was a great day
