More of our favorite outdoor places!

Just a few pics from our favorite places!  We took a Disneyland trip with one of our favorite girls, Juliette!  I had a great time catching up with her since she completed her first year of college (known her since she was in Jr High!) and the boys had fun with one of their favorite babysitters.... (Jacob used to call her his girlfriend...I think Jackson does now. =)  Or Kari, his other favorite babysitter.)  Such a great day!  We love the opportunity to go since live so close to Disneyland and enjoy the fun rides while Daddy faithfully works to provide us this fun day!  Thanks Daddy!  

We also love PARKS!!!!!  Jackson actually climbed up the top of this structure and went down this huge slide NUMEROUS times!  I don't even think I would go down this slide!!!!!  Jacob and Jackson loved it! We love the park and we love THURSDAY PLAY GROUPS!!!!!

 We also love CRASHING in the car after long, fun play days!!!!

Happy Birthday, Jackson!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Jackson!!!  For his actual birthday, we went to our normal Saturday morning date to the donut shop...but he got to pick whatever donut he wanted.  Of course, he picked the glazed!  Boy after my heart!! I love plain ol glaze!  We then opened a few presents from friends and family...and headed down to the LA Zoo with the Newbolds!  

As far as stats: He's a peanut.  He weighed 21.4lbs (1%) and was 32.25" tall (6%).  Dr. wasn't concerned as that's been his normal growth all along and he's a good eater!  Just have another little boy on our hands- not complaining!  Hopefully he will have a growth spurt this year like his brother did though!!!

  

Jackson's Park Birthday Party!

We normally have a play group with a bunch of friends every Thursday.  This week we decided to celebrate Jackson's 2nd birthday with a balloon, cookie cake and a few presents!  This was the easiest birthday party I've had to plan EVER!!! =)

 They were singing Happy Birthday and he didn't quite know what to do!!

 Nice, yummy blue frosting!

 At the park they also have a free petting zoo!  These were the pop belly pigs...

 Deer...

 Horses and donkeys...Cows....ducks....boars....like going to the fair but free!!!

 Ms. Vanessa bought all the kids deer food to feed the deer....probably the highlight of the day...except for the cookie cake, of course!

 Feeding the deer...Jackson actually wanted nothing to do with the animals.  He was scared of them!!!!  He held on to me very tight!

 They also had an old house you could walk up a hill to see.  A few of us walked up the hill...it was 93 degrees that day!  Boys are pooped but did it!

Jacob and his "friend" Halle.  I love how "cool" he looks in this picture...She was already sitting at the top of this hill and he went to join her!  I think he has a little crush!!!!  Who wouldn't blame him... she's sweet, beautiful and comes from a godly family!

A Day in the Snow at Fraizer Park!

We had a little rain here and have friends that live about 40min away in Fraizer Park.  They are about 5000 ft higher than us so they got snow!  Lots of it!  We went up for the afternoon to play in it since the boys have seen it so few times!  They loved it....

 Jackson loved eating it...

 The Newbolds....glad they live up there so we can enjoy the snow every now and then!

 Brad even built the kids an igloo!

 Just eating more snow!

 This was Jackson's first sledding experience...he really did like it...this picture doesn't show it though! =)
