Happy Birthday, Dad and More!

First and foremost we need to wish a great, big Happy Birthday to Dad on August 14th!  We are so lucky to have such an amazing dad!

Mom is so lucky to have an amazing hubby!

Mom snapped this picture of me sleeping.  She says I changed from a toddler into a "little boy" over night.

Sissy loves to play with her dolls and stuffed animals.  She especially likes to feed them with bottles.

We occasionally like to watch TV - our favorite show to watch together?  Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!

Hi there!  It's my turn for once!  Here I am loving my bear and puppy.  I am talking all the time now!

Dad took us to the zoo last week.  The animals were really active and fun to watch.  The lion was roaring!



We love each other very much, but are also equally good at getting on each other's nerves.

On Saturday Nana and Papa were babysitting at Uncle David and Aunt Audrey's, so we went to visit our cousins!  They have a new playset and it is AMAZING!  I loved the monkey bars.


My brother liked the swings, trapeze thing and rings.

Our cousin Isabella looking as pretty as ever.  She is so much fun to play with and takes such good care of us!

Cousins... we have so much fun together!



This was a great shot taken by Dad.  I love my cats Ace and Iso.  The question is, "Do they love me?"  I think some days...

This picture pretty much sums up our summer.  ENJOYABLE.  Just like Ace is enjoying the sun and fresh air.



We hope you are enjoying your last few days of summer, too!  We miss you and think of all you often!

Love,

Jackson and Kendall

Beautiful Day for the Zoo

It was a beautiful day for the zoo today!  We met our friend Ben and his mom at the zoo.  We fed the goats for the first time this summer.  Sissy loved them!

Notice Kendall opening her mouth in this next picture. :)

Enjoy your day!

Love,
Jackson and Kendall

State Fair

Hello!  Can you believe it is August already?  Time flies when you're having fun... and we are having so much fun this summer!  On this particular day, we were wearing "Chicago Bear" orange.

We went to State Fair last weekend.  It was HOT.  During lunch, Dad had us show support for our favorite college team... UCONN.

Go Huskies!

We decided since there was no one on the stage, that we would perform our own dance.  The crowd enjoyed our performance.

First we looked at the animals.  You can't go to a fair though, and not try out the rides.  I loved the swings.

And I enjoyed driving the cars.

Listen up... I'm the Sheriff.  And I think summer should NEVER end!  Ever!

I did not enjoy the dragon roller coaster.  Thankfully Mom rode it with me.



Sissy can't wait to be tall enough to ride the rides.  Next year, hopefully (not that we want to wish time away)!

Mom and I drew a train in the driveway yesterday.  It was so cool!

Sissy helped us, too.

I have been trying to help Mom do some cooking in the kitchen.  She was teaching me all the different utensils the other day.  I tried them out - and didn't know Mom was taping.

What better to eat popcorn with then tongs?

A quick kiss before we go!

We miss you all!  We're looking forward to Nana and Papa visiting soon.  They are going to babysit so Mom and Dad can go out and celebrate Dad's birthday!

Speaking of birthdays... it was Nana's birthday on August 2nd!  Happy Birthday, Nana!

Have a great rest of the week.  We love you!

Love,

Jackson and Kendall
