Our Newest Project

Jackson had a great idea one day after digging in the flower beds and planting weeds that we should make a garden. So today we ventured into Lowes and this is what we came out with. Both Jackson and Kate picked out the seeds. We got tomatoes, squash, peas, green beans, broccolli, corn, pumpkins (J's favorite), onions, rosemary, bell pepper, cantelope, strawberries, watermelon, and the list goes on. I don't really totally know what I'm getting into, but it's worth the try if that's what my little man would like to do and we can all do it together. Kate's on board as well. Just point her to the dirt with a shovel and you've got a mess;) But she definitley wants to help in anyway she can.

I figure I won't have to make as many trips to the produce aisle if this works! We're very excited to see what comes of this garden and we'll keep you posted!

Having a little bible study with the other team before the game starts

A few practice shots before the game starts.

I love how he's getting his head start.

Today was Jackson's first soccer game day! He had so much fun and really went after the ball in whatever direction;) He even scored the first goal.................................for the other team! Hey, a goal is a goal when you're 4, right?

When asked what his favorite part of the game was, he said when all the parents made a tunnel at the end of the game and they ran through it. Ha! So fun!

Uncle Stephen, Aunt B and cousin Gavin came to watch! Thanks for coming to cheer our little man on!

Snow Day

Kate wasn't crazy about the snow at first, but eventually she "warmed" up to it. This picture is of me trying to take a picture while she is trying to get me to pick her back up.

These are pictures from our "record snowfall" in North Texas! We had so much fun building multiple snowmen, one of which took a week to melt because it was so big!

Gettin Messy

The kids got a new craft table from my long hours at pottery barn kids. They love it! They are

always painting, coloring, etc. When we're actually at home during the week, we find ourselves working on fun crafts especially since it's been so cold outside!

Soccer

Getting ready to cheer her brother onCheerleaders for the wolverines, McKenzie and Kate, but a little more interested in their snacks than the game;)

Jackson has officially started his first soccer season and we couldn't be more excited! Justin especially;) He was so excited to take Jackson to Academy to get him his first shin guards, shoes, socks and soccer ball! Our first game is February 6th! Pictures to come, of course;)

Opening a few birthday gifts

My baby boy is such a big boy now! On January 20th, Jackson turned 4 and I'm in disbelief! I can't believe we've raised a child for 4 years now. We are so blessed to have this sweet boy as our son!

Friday morning, we had a few friends over for a pizza party! The kids made their own pizzas and decorated pizza boxes! It was so much fun and they enjoyed eating their own pizzas. I ordered Little Ceasars just in case;)

Then Saturday night, we had family over for dinner! Jackson loves playing with his cousins, Gavin, Sydney, Carson and Maddox! We spread the celebration out as long as we could. But as they say, "all good things, must come to an end".

Happy Birthday Jackson! We love you soooooooo much!
