Jackson at 5 months

My tiny man is growing to fast. I can't believe he is already 5 months. He is such a chubby thing. We like him that way. We went to a WIC appt. today and he weighs 19 lbs and is 67 cm. he is huge. He is such a happy baby and loves to just play and roll around on the floor. He just sits on the ground and smiles and talks to you. Ryan still can't keep his hands off of him. We have to constantly tell him to leave him alone. It usually turns into Jackson crying. We have started him on some food, he isn't to sure about it but we continue to try. He is trying to crawl and we are hoping that anyday now he will figure it out. He can get up on all fours and rocks, but he just ends up moving backwards. He is a little grabber and if you aren't careful he will get into everything and of course everything ends up in the mouth. We are excited for what comes next with him, but I still want him to be my little baby a little longer.

How we celebrated the 4th

We had a great 4th holiday. We went to Idaho Falls for the parade down there because my sister's came into town with their families. The parade was way fun and Ryan sat in his chair by his cousin's and didn't move for a long time. He loved it and got lots of candy and a flag. He kept saying how is loves the harade. Jackson wasn't so sure about the parade because it was really bright and sunny. He loved that he got to have lots of people hold him. After that we went to my mom's and had a fun barbecue with lot of good food.
Ryan loved having a flag to wave
For the fireworks, we took Chris' parents and brother and we went to Freeman park and had a some food while we waited for the fireworks. We were close to my family so Ryan could play with his cousins. We had fun hanging out with everyone before the fireworks started. My camera's battery died after we took our family pictures so the other pictures are on our disposable camera so I will have to post those later. We had lots of fun and the fireworks were way good. We had a great day with family.

Funny pictures

I just have some fun pictures to show you of the boys. Lots of Jackson smiling and playing and Ryan one day got a blanket and made a picnic on the side of our house on the grass. It was so cute, he ate his lunch and snack out there and played most of the day. Sorry just pictures!
When Jackson wants to be picked up he squeals and chews on his hands until someone pays attention to him.Jackson loves his daddy. What a chubby little man!!

Jackson loves to play on the floor

"R" Mountain Hike

Chris came up with the idea of climbing R Mountain. For those of you who don't know where this is, it is outside of Rexburg and it has the R on it for Ricks college. I thought oh that will be fun. As we were driving out there we got stuck in traffic due to construction. Jackson started crying and Ryan says "it's okay baby we are almost to the swimming pool we just need to be patient" Chris and I started laughing, but trying to hide it. Ryan says why are you laughing mom? What do you say to that. We finally made it to the mountain and started up. Wow I am out of shape I couldn't breathe and we had barely started. Ryan was running up the hill and Chris was carrying Jackson. I was far behind trying to breathe when Ryan came up to me and said mommy I will help you and grabbed my hand and helped me. After many stops we finally made it up and it was really pretty. We decided we need to do that more often to get into shape. We had fun and plan on doing it again.

Happy Father's Day!!!

I just wanted to wish all Father's a Happy Father's day!! I also want to say what a great husband and Father for my children Chris is. I love Chris so much and all that he does for us.He is so good with both of our kids. Jackson and Chris have become buddies and Chris takes him at night and puts him to sleep. Jackson doesn't like it if he doesn't get enough time with Chris. Ryan also loves his daddy and they play and joke all the time. I also wanted to say how great my dad is and how much I love him and am grateful he is my dad.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

Jackson is 4 months

My little baby is already 4 months. It is going by fast, but not to fast which is nice. I hope it doesn't go by to fast. We went to the doctor and got weighed. He is now 17lbs and 261/4 inches long. He is just a chubby baby. I love how chubby he is. He is a pretty good baby very content and calm, except that he is sick and kind of cranky right now. He has been sleeping through most of the night this week and hope it continues. He is also trying to sit up on his own and does pretty good for a while and then gets tired. He really wants to grow up and play with his brother.

Randomness

I just thought I would put up some fun pictures for all of you. We had a fun time with our cars. We needed new tires for our car and our truck was leaking fuel into the engine so we needed to figure out how we were going to pay for all this. We finally got tires on our car and our neighbor told us he could help us fix our car so Chris and him took the truck apart and figured out that it was a fuel injector. So we ordered the part and waited. Having only one car is hard when you are used to having two cars. Putting the kids in the car in the morning to take Chris to school and work is really hard. We made it through, and finally got the part. They started working on it on Friday and got most of it done. Our neighbor told me what to do to finish putting it back together and said I should finish it. I wasn't so sure and couldn't get to it for a while because of the kids. But at about 5:30 I decided to start working on it. I got most of it done with the help from our neighbors babysitter before Chris and our neighbor got home. We finished it up and started the car, still the fuel was leaking so we had take it all apart again and fix the fuel injector and then put it all back together. It was fun, but frustrating at having to redo it. We finally got done at 10:45 that night. The car works, but something is wrong with how we put something in so we have to go back and redo it. A little upsetting but am proud of how Chris he stuck with it and learned a lot of cars.
The work begins
We forgot to get a picture of me working in the car, but I promise I did I have the black fingers to prove it.
Just another quick thing. We were going to go on a bike ride and We had put the bikes in the truck to go on a bike ride in Idaho Falls, so we were putting them together and Ryan says look mom Mickey mouse. He had put the tires so they looked like Mickey Mouse ears. What a funny guy!
