Jackson Turned Two!

Jackson turned two!


His birthday started out with a football game (Jasper below #76)

At the football game Jackson was spoiled with treats.

Once home, he was spoiled with presents!

And Elmo cupcakes.

Then off to Grandma Bennett's house where he was spoiled with more presents!

Including a viewfinder (he hasn't quite figured it out yet)

And was spoiled with even more cupcakes (worm cupcakes this time)!

Its great to turn two and even more great to be spoiled.

We love you Jackson!

Rock Collector

Last week, we went to this place quite a bit.

All of that hay, plus half not pictured needed to be loaded up into the loft of the barn.

I helped a bit, but it was mostly the men. Thank goodness because each of those bales weigh like 60 lbs!

Jackson and I played around while the men worked.

But after a few hours, even that got boring.

So Jackson found a new hobby.

Rock collector!

Cheese!

Now back to work!

Thanksgiving Point

Last week my good friend Molly and I took our toddlers to Farm Country.

Its a wonderful place where you can touch and feed sheep, cows, horses, ducks, geese, rabbits, goats, chickens and more!

Jackson loved to stick his whole hand in the sheep's mouth to feed him some corn.

At no extra expense, Jackson got to ride on this guy!

And also, a wagon ride led by a couple beautiful Clydesdale horses.

Definitely worth the $3.50 entrance fee (and free for Jackson!).

Yeah Dinosaurs!

Earlier this week Jackson and I went with some other moms and kids

to the Utah Museum of Natural History.

It is free the first Monday of every month, so we just had to check it out.

I love museums, and by the look of things, so does Jackson.

Here he is digging up some dinosaur fossils.

Look, he found a prehistoric horse thing!

There were quite a few hands on things for kids which I really appreciated.

Bug puppet theater!

There was a whole gallery of bugs and rocks. Of course Jackson loved it.

We had such a good time.

Roar!

FOOTBALL

Jasper has been playing football again this year.

He has been playing really hard and tough and we are super proud of him!

He is #76 this year.

Something about this football uniform makes him strut. You can even see the strut in a motionless picture (that's him below, standing by the 20).

While Jasper plays hard, so does Jackson on the sidelines.

Go Jasper!

Explosion

If you've been trying to call me lately, or if you've sent me an important text...

I promise I'm not ignoring you. The lawn mower made my phone explode.

Conference Sunday

For my church's General Conference this year, we went to my sister Heather's house in Lehi.

We laid around, watched, listened, ate and played.

Oh, and Anne-Marie slept. The whole time.

Jasper made up a fun game (for him) called "hide the ball from Jackson."

Jackson, where's the ball?

Where is it now?

Did you find it yet Jackson?

We love Conference Sunday.
