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.

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

Happy Halloween!

Jackson is 1

I cant believe that our little man is 1 today. How time goes by so fast.

Jackson is a very happy boy. He loves his Sissy so much. He always need to know what is going on and be in the middle of everything. Here are a few things he loves right now: crawling (not a walker yet), loves throwing balls at people as along and you throw them back, loves to rock out to Yo Gabba Gabba and Mickey Mouse Club House, has a BIG crush on Dora, loves to wrestle with Dadda and Sissy always jumps into, loves to suck this thumb, loves his blankie, loves to play in water (maybe a little to much), loves to sing, and loves to give dirty looks (he did the day he was born and still does.)

We are so blessed to have a healthy happy boy!

Fair time

I love the Fair. We had a great time this year. And we were very luck to have Grammy come along for the fun (sorry mom I didn't get a picture of you and the kids.) Lilly was able to ride the rides this year and just loved it. She keeps asking when were going to the Fair again.

Jackson was a trooper and just went with the flow. I would have to say he loved his first Funnel Cake.Love this picture!

We had a great time!
