Having Fun at The Beach!

This is Jackson's very first trip to the Beach. We had so much fun. We went and stayed at Carter's house in Huntington Beach. We walked from Carter's home to the beach! It was so lovely. Jackson could have played at the beach all day if we let him. We will definitely be visiting Uncle Carter's home often. If you are wondering what is on Jackson's nose, it is a battle wound from the asphalt outside. Jack tripped over Sady the dog and landed face first into the ground :( He's a tough little guy though, he barely cried.






This is Jack after we came back from the beach, he was so relaxed and it was hard to wake him up.

Sweet memories

This picture was taken back in February of 2005. It was the very first day I met Megan, my future mother-in-law, Aunt & Uncle and a whole bunch of cousins. We had a blast and I honestly felt like the luckiest girl in the world to be part of such a great family.

Little Baller...

Jackson has high hopes for a little guy, and that's ok because he is little :) Jackson tries so hard to make baskets outside, it makes me smile and I am so proud of our little baller!

My Mother-In-Law is Famous!

It's nice to see that sport fanatics run in our family! Lori absolutely loves watching basketball! As you can see she is very supportive of the Glendora High School Basketball Team, where she is the head of the math department. Pretty sweet her picture ended up in the newspaper!

Google yourself

I was told by a friend of mine the other day, I googled your full name Jennifer in google images. Guess what I'm the first person that pulls up in the images! Kinda creepy. You should try searching yourself or anyone you are suspicious of :) This is the picture that pulls up.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Here are the wonderful men in my life. I feel so blessed and happy to be surrounded by so much love.

We made it to Northern Mexico

Hello!!

We made it to CA, it was a slow drive with a moving truck, but we made it! Jackson and I lead the way on the road so we didn't have little rocks hit the front of our car. Jackson was such a good boy, he didn't cry for more than a minute. Since it was just me and Jackson in the car I would throw beef jerky and rice krispie treats over my shoulder at him while I continued to drive! Jack watched the wiggles and my friends Tigger and Pooh. Every time Tigger would speak Jackson would laugh so hard, so it made me laugh. There is honestly no better sound in this world then hearing a child laugh.

The weather is wonderful here and it great to be with family. We do miss everyone in Utah SOOOOO much. It is very hard to be far away from the ones you love so dearly. We lived in the best neighborhood, and were walking distance from some of the neatest people on the face of this planet. It is hard to be so far away, but at the same time I know the friends we have made in Utah will be dear and close to our hearts forever.

Holy Cow

Haven't written forever! Had a blast in CA for several weeks. I was away from the computer, which was nice because I work on a computer all day. I did take several pictures over the holidays and put them on our laptop. Then something horrible happened. The hard drive went bad and we lost all pictures from the holidays. Luckily I back up our pictures frequently to cd, so we didn't loose everything, just the last month :( We did download some software from the web to help recover files from a corrupt hard drive. I'll let you know what happens.

We got back to Utah the day before my birthday. I turned 27 this year!! I had a wonderful birthday hanging out with Carter, Megan, Jackson and my wonderful husband Josh. We had awesome brick oven pizza and watched American Gladiators!!

Ok we are moving to CA in a few days!! Hence we've been packing like crazy. Lots of exciting things going on that I'll have to find another time to write about!

Much Love...Here are some pictures I do have.


Alexis and Jack Mesmerized by the wiggles.

Funny

My dear friend Alisa sent this to me in a email. I had to share, it's so cute and funny.

SNOW!! and delightful Christmas Decorations

It has been so beautiful around Provo lately. It has snowed so much already compared to the last few years. Jackson looks out the window and says, "sooooow, soooow,..." It's so cute. He may not like to touch the snow, but he sure loves watching it fall from the sky. We have the Christmas tree all set up (pictures coming soon). We love the smell of a fresh noble fir in the house. I got a killer deal on a little christmas village this past summer on Cragslist so I had to put a picture. And of course there is a picture of our most beautiful olive wood nativity. We are so excited to spend time with family next week!! Nothing else too new. We spend most of nights with all the lights off in the house except for the Christmas tree lights and we dance around to Christmas music. Happy Holidays to all.
 
 

 
 

Enrichment Night with Jack attack.

First of all this is my adorable friend Angelique. She truly is an Angel. The other pictures of Jackson were taken by the Relief Society President. She caught Jackson red handed in all the treats for the meeting. Jack didn't mind too much that he was busted, because he kept on eating :)

 
 


 
 

I found an Elf

But the Elf didn't like the snow





He preferred to play inside,





and dance around in his diaper

Happy Birthday Burn Video

This is pretty funny, but sad at the same time. The day of Jackson's birthday I practiced blowing out a candle with him. When the big moment came, well let just say he didn't put out the candle by blowing on it. You'll have to watch.




Don't worry Jack survived :)

Howdy we've been so sick!

Last Sunday Jackson threw up. I thought he had taken a a drink of some bad milk. But then the next day he threw up again. Then it started coming out the other way the next day. Then on Wednesday, it was my turn and I'm finally feeling better today. Sorry for the yummie details, but we are alive and feeling much better!



Jackson ran around in his diaper most of the week :)

Halloween

We had so much fun on Halloween. We went all over the neighborhood with some of our cutest friends from our ward. We went to a haunted house in the neighborhood and Jackson wasn't scared for one second. Jackson giggled and yelled like he was screaming because everyone else was screaming, but he didn't know why. So he figured he would just join in with the fun. Jackson loves sour skittles and peanut butter cups. I thought he would puke by the end of the night, but he didn't :)
