Carthage, Bubbles and Muffins, oh my!

Hi!  Last weekend we took a trip to the outlet mall to get some new shoes.  Sissy thought she was so cool in her glasses.

I got some new pink glittery shoes and Jackson got some shoes that light up!  On our way home, we decided to stop by where Mom and Dad used to live!  We saw their old apartment, drove around Kenosha, and even stopped at Carthage.  We had a great time!
After naps, we enjoyed the beautiful weather by eating our snacks and playing outside.


We even got the bubbles out!






Later in the week, we made muffins with Miss Katie!





















It was a great weekend.  We are enjoying this weekend, too.  Mom and Sissy went up north for a couple days and Dad and I had a boys' weekend.  I'm really excited for Mom to volunteer in my classroom tomorrow!
A very Happy Birthday to Aunt Audrey this week!

Love,
Jackson

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!  We had a fun day today and celebrated by waking up to some small decorations.  On Tuesdays now we go to a play group, so that is always something to look forward to and a lot of fun!  We are making new friends every week.  Sissy is really in to Legos now.

We painted some gift bags for Gavin's birthday last week.

We had so much fun at Gavin's party last week!  I keep telling Mom, "I want my birthday next!"

We always find time to be silly!


A great smile... from a great boy!

Here we are eating pizza at Gavin's birthday party.

It was really cold last week.  Here we are getting ready to run some errands.

I love my sister and am very protective of her.

Auntie Nicole sent some silly Valentine goodies!  Thank you Auntie Nicole!







We made Valentine cookies today!  Yum!

Tonight for dinner we had heart-shaped pizza to celebrate.
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

A very happy birthday to Great-Grandpa Bob last week!

Love,
Jackson

Hi there!  I've been an entertaining fool lately.  Check it out for yourself  FYI - it's a bath scene, so we'd probably rate this PG.
And the silliness continues...

We've been working on our valentines with Miss Katie!


I was not too pleased about the glitter spill, but those things happen.

Take a look at my hair-do!  I actually sat long enough for Mom to do a fancy braid!



Here we are acting like Mom and Dad on our computers!















Here's a little insight on how well Sissy's talking now!



A very Happy, Happy Birthday to Great-Grandpa Bob tomorrow!  Look for a picture soon!
Have a great rest of the week.

Love,
Jackson

Goodbye January, Hello February!

Goodbye January, and hello February!  We continue to be "busy bees" and it's hard to believe the month of January has passed.  We will catch you up on what we've been doing most recently!

First, our cousins Isabella and Cohen came for a playdate on Sunday.  It had been awhile since we'd seen them last, and we had a blast!  You know it's a successful playdate when everyone ends up in the same bed at the end... tired. :)  It was so great to see our cousins and Aunt Audrey!







After our much-needed naps, we went outside to play.  It was a beautiful afternoon and evening.  We had fun finding (eating) icicles!




The moon was shining high in the sky even though it was still daytime.  It was beautiful!  I kept asking, "Can I touch it?"  Mom assured me I can "reach the stars," but we weren't able to touch the moon.  Next time, maybe.



















We even went on a nature walk around our yard!  We spotted pine cones, ice on the grass, more icicles, and bunny tracks!  It's amazing what you can find when you stop and take the time to look!
I've been working on my writing, too.  Mom and Dad say it takes a lot of practice, so I do keep trying.



Miss Katie took some pictures of us during the day.  Don't you like my crazy hair?  You'd never believe I got a haircut last weekend, would you?  It really does have a mind of its own, but we are determined not to cut it short, yet.



Where you see me, you often see jewelry!  Check out my blue "jammies!"  These were from Ma Mac for Jackson a couple years ago and now I am wearing them! So comfy!



We've really been in to playing games lately.  We like Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, Red Rover, Memory, Honeybee Tree, and Cootie!  (With Sissy you have to play at the speed of light, but it's still fun to play.)


Nana and Papa sent a Valentine house to play with, so we love sharing that!  It's a candy house and what's better than candy?  Not much!



We still enjoy our legos.  Right now we like to use the big ones, but we are probably going to be moving to the smaller ones soon... because we're getting to be a big boy and big girl now!






















(Is that not the best smile ever?)

We have some VERY important birthdays coming up!  Stay tuned!
Have a great rest of the week everyone!

Love,
Jackson
