Two Peas and a iPod

The other day I was putting clothes away in Jackson's room and he was on his bed with Simon. He said, "Look at me and Simon." and I said, "Just like two peas in a pod." Well I guess Jackson never had heard that expression.

Before I knew it he was organizing this:

Jackson is the iPod

Shannon and Simon are two peas

We are squished together on his bed.

"Dad, come here." Lou comes in the room. "Look, two peas and a ipod."

The Birdhouse.

One day durning Christmas vacation, Papa Woody asked to have Jackson over to help him build a birdhouse for Grandma Bev. Jackson packed up his tool box and Lou dropped him off. Papa Woody got Jackson to work right away. They actually nailed the house together with Jackson's hammer. When Lou went back to pick Jackson up this is what he found.... Jackson dug a hole and put the pole right down in there....

Here is Papa Woody and Jackson with the birdhouse they built.....He really loves his Papa and especially loves to help him build. Thanks Papa for such a fun day.

New Year's Eve!

We hardly ever go out on New Year's, and actually prefer it that way. This year was no different. We had our good friends, the Tuttle's, over for Chinese food and great fun. Skip, Corona, Jack and Antonio came over around 6:00pm. Lou and Skip went to pick up Chinese food and Jackson and Jack started playing right away. They played with every toy in Jackson's room. At one point in the night I went to check on them and found them using Jackson's bed as a ship of some sort. Skip and Corona and the boys didn't make it till midnight...They headed home about 9:30 and Lou, Jackson and I stayed up. We barely made it to midnight, but we did. Here are Lou and Jackson with the noise makers on the patio. We all yelled Happy New Year and were in bed by about 12:10. Happy New Year.

Christmas - 2008

I know this post is terribly late, but better late than never, right? Christmas Day was a nice day for us. Christmas morning Jackson just had to see if Santa came. Of course he did and boy did he deliver some great stuff.
Some candy...
Boy, does Santa know what Jackson likes or what?...
Later on that morning we went to Lou's mom's house and opened presents over there...
Jackson is trying to hold up his Hot Wheels track for me to take a picture...
Lou and Jackson got a couple gifts together...Remote control helicopters and some cars that race on the walls and ceiling...They were pretty excited to get these....
Jackson gave Lou a present (that was just from him)...A Willow Tree "Father & Son"...Jackson bought me some really nice earings and a beautiful ring. I absolutely love them both and wear the ring every day. Lou bought me a Blackberry Storm and I bought him a bike helmet. Jackson got a ton of gifts...and even as late as I'm posting this blog...I still don't think he's played with everything yet. We had a nice Christmas dinner that Lou cooked. We had my family (mom, Bobby & Brittany) over on Christmas Eve and then Brit came over again on Christmas night. We had a very nice kind of low key day.

Jackson's Christmas Program

Jackson's school had their Kindergarten Chrstimas Program and we were so happy to be able to go. They did it right in the middle of the week in the morning, but Lou and I were both able to get off work a little bit to see the great performance.


Here is Jackson sitting in the cafeteria.... Jackson's class performed about 4 songs. One thing that we thought was so cute...During the performance, Jackson spotted his Grandma Bev and started waving like crazy and blowing kisses to her. He totally forgot he was supposed to be singing. It was so cute. His class did so well. We had a lot of fun watching them.

I was trying to put a video up, but I couldn't get it. It's really cute.
