T-Ball

Is this a relay race?

On first base

And the hit

T-Ball season has begun ...this is Pey's first year of playing T-ball and it has been pretty entertaining...So far she likes playing in the dirt...but does get much more into it during practice when her fans aren't around :-) Who know if we'll have a baseball player on our hands...but in the mean time its great exercise and a way to expend some energy!

Sprinkler time

Yes,I'm wet and not sure if I like it! (If that isn't his father's look!)

Run!

Its been in the high 80's pretty much all week, maybe even the 90's at times so we broke out the sprinkler...both kids had fun running through it. Jackson was good as long as he wasn't directly being sprayed!

Preschool graduate!

We just had to buy this hat!

Preschool is done!

Singing "Bubble gum"

My little cowgirl or the "Queen of the Farm" as she calls herself is officially a graduate of preschool! Hurray for Peyton! Yes she is quite the fashionista!

18 months!

18 months--really? Jackson turned 1 1/2 yrs on the 15th of this month...seems crazy that before you know it he'll be two! He seems to have grown up a lot in the last 3 months.. He now weighs 24 lbs, and is 32.5" tall... (which still puts him in the 25% for weight, but 50% for height)..he's a nice size. He still doesn't talk a lot...probably says about 12 words--grandpa being his favorite, but also says mama, dada, hi, moo, hot, up, ball, balloon, breakfast-to name a few- ...mainly grandpa though--whenever he sees a grandpa or a tractor! He can tell you where his head, hair, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, tongue, feet, hands and belly are. Loves to run, play with Peyton and is a very busy boy, he seems to never stop! Balls and tractors are probably his favorite to play with- he is a true boy...but he does like to sit and read as well- mainly tractor books! Peyton and him for the most part play REALLY good together so its a lot of fun to seem them play. He's growing up too fast!

Family

The kids did well on the almost 5 hr drive (one-way) ..Jackson only slept a total of 10min. the whole time!

We sadly said goodbye to my Uncle Dave after he lost his battle w/ cancer ....here are a few pictures from his celebration of life and the BBQ after the service.

Oh Jackson!

Is this the perfect shirt for a RD's son or what !!

Yes, it is summer

This is what happens when Jackson sets up Pey's Barbie table and chair and tries to sit on the chair!

I'm sure I've posted Jackson and his hat before....but he LOVES this stocking hat and will wear it around frequently!

Easter

Jackson loved his bathtub hoop the Easter bunny brought him!

Who gave him that chocolate--Grandma looks pretty guilty!

Resting after a hard Easter egg hunt

All ages join in this hunt!

Oooh- found one

Pey searching for eggs

Yes even at the young age of 30 you still get to find a few eggs

Serious about finding eggs

What did you find?

Easter was a fun time and Jackson had a lot of fun this year looking for eggs. Of course Pey still surprisingly believes in the Easter bunny so that's always fun as well. We looked for eggs around our house and then went to the farm for an Easter egg hunt on Easter...it was a beautiful day- perfect to be outdoors so it was lots of fun!

Eggs, Eggs, Eggs!

My little bunny!

Showing off her painting skills

The finished product!

Oooh...beautiful!

We painted eggs this year which was fun...I thought I was buying a dye kit but all I focused on was that it had glitter in it and knew Pey would love it then. The kids had a lot of fun, even Jackson painted the eggs for awhile--until they became balls and were thrown...then he had to just watch!!
