Rhyolite Park

It was a brisk, windy day that we decided to venture to this new park, but it was such a great place! Jackson had a blast and we will definitely go back soon :)

Outside time

We have been enjoying outside time almost every day now...it's so great! One of Jackson's favorite sports is still t-ball. He can really smack the ball!! Each time he did, Hailey laughed and sometimes clapped....it was so cute! She was cracking us up :) Jackson has also enjoyed kicking the soccer ball around too! He still appears to be left-side dominant again this year...we will see if that continues :)

Basement play time

Jackson performing a nice song for us

Learning how to play hockey with all the play food :)

Hailey is 11 months!

We have been enjoying some super nice weather....lots of fun time outside (yea!) and we are ready for spring!! Hailey turned 11 months this month....so hard to believe. She is such a patient, sweet little girl. She loves chasing Jackson while we are running with her in our arms, using her voice to try to say new sound combinations, exploring fun new toys and just being with the family. She has no desire to want to crawl yet, but she enjoys sitting on the ground with toys all around. Her legs are so strong....she enjoys standing up and playing with things at the ottoman or table. Jackson makes her laugh and smile constantly! She continues to make us smile (just like her brother!) all day, every day!

February

February came and went soooo fast! Here are a few pics:

Stock Show/Rodeo

We all had so much fun at the stock show/rodeo this year! Jackson loved it and Hailey did as well (she enjoyed watching everything!!). We can't wait to go next year :)

Jackson LOVED all the huge equipment they had there too!

Sweet Moments

There are so many times during the day that I wish I had a camera set up to capture many moments....many times I'm not able to, but here are a few I actually did :)

Hailey all bundled up to enjoy a cold day outside (we really needed to get some fresh air!).

Hailey holding her doll. She loves to point to the parts of her face/head when we say them :)

Playing Chutes and Ladders together.....ok, so Hailey just tries to take any of the game pieces from the board, but she taps them up and down on the board like she is actually playing :)

Pictures from school

A great photographer, Greg McBoat of McBoat Photography, came to Jackson's school this year to photograph all the kids individual and class pictures. He let siblings come to get their pictures taken too. I thought he did a wonderful job and was so happy with all the great shots he captured! Hailey did not want to do any individual pictures or smile, but I thought she looked so cute in the ones with Jackson :)

Jackson's 4th Birthday Party

Jackson had a super fun birthday party this year at Little Monkey Bizness! He had such a great time that his little cheeks were pink and hair was crazy from running around so much with friends and family :)

Jackson is 4 years old!

Just doing a little light reading of the WSJ in the garage while I wait for Mommy to bring Hailey out to go to school :)


Our little boy has turned 4! Wow....we cannot believe it! Here are the stats from his appointment: 40 pounds (69 %ile) and 42.5 inches tall (91 %ile). At his 3 year appointment, he was 34 pounds (73 %ile) and 38.5 inches tall (70 %ile). He is growing, growing, growing too :) No wonder I cannot keep pants long enough for him! He is now in his big boy booster seat in the car and loves it. He continues to make us smile, laugh and is an amazing older brother to Hailey. We feel so incredibly blessed :)




PS....I'm having issues with my computer and cannot edit or rotate pics right now. I apologize and hope to get it figured out soon!!


These are pictures from the day of his actual birhtday. He had school that day and had a fun time celebrating there and then at home with the 4 of us later.

Hailey is 10 months!

Our little Hailey is now 10 months old! Here are the stats from her 9 month appointment last month: 20 pounds; 7 ounces (78%ile) and 27.5 inches long (50%ile). She is growing, growing, growing!! At Jackson's 9 month appointment, he was 21 pounds, 8 ounces and 28.5 inches long. She is definitely trying to keep up with him :)

Hailey has no desire to crawl yet, but loves to sit and play with toys, watch/smile/laugh at Jackson and is a very content baby! She enjoys shaking her head "no", clap, pat her legs and trying to roll a ball back and forth. She loves to chase and be chased by Jackson while we are holding her. She is such a doll and super sweet! We are so blessed :)

Christmas Part 2

We had a fun time on Christmas day over at Gammy and Gampy's house. Great Grandpa Martini was in town from Michigan, so that made it extra special for us! He got to meet Miss Hailey for the first time and he couldn't believe how big she is already :) Jackson has grown a bit too since he saw him last Thanksgiving! We had a wonderful time and once again enjoyed a fabulous dinner of homemade pasta.....Great Grandpa sure does spoil us with his amazing pasta!! It is so incredibly yummy!!

Here are a few pics from Christmas day...
