Painting

It isn't too often that you can catch Jackson and Emmie sitting still, but they enjoyed creating pretty pictures.

It looks like the quiet painting time is about over.

Bath Time

Jackson wanted to give Bubba a bath so she let him help her wash her feet.

He was rewarded with an ice cream cone in the bath tub. I guess that is the easiest way to clean him up after a messy cone.

Little Helper

Papa Paul needed a little help with Greta so Emmie showed him how to feed her.

My Sun and My Moon, My Lobster

While we were dating Jaime and I had talked about getting married, but decide that we needed to wait until we both had real jobs. Well ten years ago today I started my first real job. On my lunch break I went to spend my first two months of salary and bought her an engagement ring. We went out to Red Lobster to celebrate "my new job." On the way home I took a detour to to the beach and proposed to her under the light of the moon.

(Now some of you believe the story to be more like a walk in the sand at lock 3 under the light of the Dupont plant, but it is all about how you tell the story.)

I love you Jaime. Thanks for saying yes or more accurately YES! YES! YES! as I remember it. :)

Snakeloaf

Jackson and Greta went over to Bubba and Papa's to eat and they ate "snake." It tasted a lot like meatloaf but the kids loved it. Jackson even ate a little bit of the "grass." It was Greta's first meal of real people food. She couldn't get enough.

Soccer Practice

Jackson had is first official soccer practice today. We have a feeling this could be the first of thousands of trips to practice of the next 15-20 years. He got new cleats, shin guards, socks, and soccer ball. The uniforms with his name on the back should be in before the first game.

Eventhough Jaime is officially a "soccer Mom" there is no truth to the rumor that she will be getting a mini van anytime too soon.

My green hand

Jackson made a hand out of playdough.

Smiles

How can you not love that little smile, dimples, drool and all?

Where is Jackson?

This what I found when I went to check on Jackson at naptime. I finally saw an arm and found him under his pillows on the floor after he fell asleep reading books.

Little Artist!

Jackson loves to paint. He has been painting little animals and getting quite good.

Yogurt Melts

Greta has discovered the joy of finger foods. She is a good little eater.

Playing in the pool

Jackson and daddy beat the heat in the pool.

Turkeys

We went to check on the house and found lots of turkeys. There a bunch of baby turkeys too.

Visiting

Great Grandma Bumma and her girls.

"Walking" with TT

Jackson and Emmie growling at each other.

Yummy yummy food
