Better late than never...and it's LONG!!

Ok, so when I got up from nap yesterday after work, I TOTALLY forgot about the pictures until I was in bed. But they are here now. Instead of posting a bajillion pictures in a row, I decided to create photo collages of the past few months. Just a little heads up, if you want to see the collages bigger double click on them and they will open in a new window bigger :) The caption follow the collages above them just fyi :)

Here we go...

Christmas '09

Just some pics of Addison with her Auntie Katie (blonde) and Auntie Kelly at Christmas '09 and Cousin Bennet

These are pictures from our fun ride on the Polar Express Train in Flagstaff, AZ with my family December 23, 2009. Jackson had SOOO much fun. He still talks about it to this day!! The pic in the 1st row #2 is him showing us his Jingle Bell that Santa gave him. FUN!! We all wore our pj's cuz that's what you do on a ride to the North Pole on the Polar Express.More pics from the Polar Express. The one about half way down in the left is a gal on the train who passed hot cocoa and cookies and then walked the aisle to show the pictures of Polar Express as it was read overhead on the loud speaker. This was definately a trip we won't forget!!

More Polar Express pics

Islyn is just 2 weeks older than Jackson. This rock wall is in their backyard and they are about half way up where there is this platform with some toys. They were loving crawling up it and purposefully not sitting still so Auntie Kristy couldn't capure their HUGE smiles!

These pictures my sister, Kristy, took at my brother in laws work yard. Jackson was exstatic (sp?) and in awe of all the "big diggers". He had so much fun running around and playing on them. Jacob let Woody and Jackson drive one around and move gravel. I love these pics for several reasons. First they remind me of my grandfather, he operated heavy equipment and I LOVED to watch him work. I love to watch Jacob work too! I also love the ones of Woody and Jackson together, he is a GREAT Daddy!! Thanks Kristy for lovely pics!!!

Ok, so if you can't laugh at hard things then you haven't healed right?! Well ya'll know how Jackson fell, if you don't then read here, last time we visited Arizona? It has been the running joke that next time we visited he would have to wear a helmet the whole time. Well...We were over at Kristy and Jacob's on Christmas eve and it had been a while since I had seen Jackson running through the living room, but I knew he was in the kid's room playing. I went to check to make sure he wasn't destroying anything and this is what I saw...he had put the helmet on himself and was playing. Notice the chocolate cheeks from yummy cookies!! HAHAHAHA!!! Too funny!! PRAISE GOD that we can laugh at this, it is because of HIS GRACE that we can!!!

These pics are of Jackson playing in our backyard during a little snowstorm. The one in the bottom right corner is him and Woody making a snow angel. Jackson didn't get how to lay on his back to make on, he kept laying face down (see top right corner). I tried to lay him down on his back but he didn't stay that way. He LOVES to play in the snow!!

These are pics of Addison taken this February. She is crawling all over the place and pulling herself up as you can see on the bottom left corner. The top left is a pic I took today. Jac kson put his John Deere beenie on her and she was just crawlin' around lookin' cool and cute too! The second pic top row Jackson took, I am impressed! And the top right corner is her with Woody, Jackson thought she needed to have ALL his stuffed animals, he shares when he wants to :)

These pics were also taken this Feb. Again, Jackson put his hat on her. She is so cute!!! And she plays right along with all of her brothers silliness!!

No explanation here, Woody is being the GREAT Daddy he always is!!!!

"Mommy! Come 'ere Mommy, I holdin' baby Addison! Take my piture!!"

Jackson in ALL his silliness the past couple months!! This kid is a riot!!!!
