Jackson's 1st Day of Preschool

Jackson is starting his 2nd year of preschool this year. He is very excited about it. I decided to put him at Woodstock Elementary which will be his Elementary he will attend if we still live in the area. This preschool is more structured and is 4 days a week for 3 hours a day. Although I loved him at Cottonwood High and the teacher was fabulous I just wanted him to have a little more challenge and structure. He loves to learn and is a very smart child so this will be good way to get him ready for kindergarten. He goes M-Thr. from 8:50-11:50 and have been enjoying himself. However, this has been very hard on Carson who loves his older brother and cried hard after we dropped him off. He wants to go to preschool too. I think it will be good to spend some one on one time with Carson. I always feel like the 2 child and so on gets lost in the shuffle so I make an effort to give them each individual time.

Let the Season Begin!! Go Utes!

We are big Utah fans!! We have season tickets and love to go to the games. Our boys go with us and enjoy sitting in the pirate section. Last year Carson got a jersey for his birthday and by the time Jackson wanted one they were all sold out so we made sure we got one this year. It turned out fun that this year the number is 4 (Jackson's age) It is Matt Asiata and Rick taught Jackson how to tackled and run through people like Asiata does. Jackson now calls anything red his Asiata whatever..for example he has a red backpack and he is like I need my Asiata backpack Mom. Pretty cute. Carson turns 3 this year :) Here are the boys trying to run to catch up with dad who no matter how early we are is in a hurry to get there.

Trying so hard to catch up with Dad! Wait for us!!

We caught up :)

Here is our cute little family at the game this is in the 4th quarter so we are all a little tired :) We love it that we have season tickets right next to our cousins...Kristin and Paul and little Ava :) (Plus Carson had to join in the picture with a popcorn bucket on his head)

Bruhth-er

Brother: a male sibling, offspring from the same parents. I was thinking a lot about my boys and them being a brother to each other. I looked up the defination and by no way does it describe the relationship that Jackson and Carson have with each other. From the day that Carson was born Jackson became a brother but not only that but a friend, amgio, buddy, comrade, soul mate, backer, chum, ally, protector, defender, comforter, playmate, teacher to Carson. My boys are so good to each other. There is no doubt that they would do ANYTHING for each other. When one is hurt or sad the other one quickly comforts the other. When one doesn't have what he wants the other gives up what they have. They are always making sure that each other is taken care of. They are the best buddies in the world. In my house you will find a lot of doubles of all toys because no matter what the other wants to be doing exactly what the other is doing. I feel so blessed to have two boys that love to play with each other and share so well. Carson and Jackson are a little less then 18 months apart and while I look at others who have them that close and question what I was thinking at the time I would never change it in the world. I guess I am glad I wasn't thinking. What prompted this blog was yesterday during nap they wanted to sleep together and I said no because they don't fall asleep very well that way. Becuse usually the start making each other laugh and I mean laugh really hard. But in the middle of their nap Carson got up and went to the bathroom and I thought he went back to his bed however when I went and check on them he was in the bed with Jackson just wanting to be close to his best friend. I feel so blessed to have two cute sweet boys who love each other so much :)

Fire Hose Fun!!

On August 12th we went to the Muarry baseball field where the Muarry firefighters came and hooked up their truck to the hydrant and sprayed all the kids. At first Carson was very hesitant and did not want to go by it but after a few times of me running through it with them they thought it was pretty cool and they can't wait until they do it again.

Here they are all wet and excited to be up close to a fire truck! What a great day :)

UBIC Fun!!

On August 1, 2009 we went out to Roosevelt to attend Rick's 10 class reunion. It was kind of a bummer that most of his high school buddies did not attend but we still had fun. In the evening we attended a big concert in their local park. We were able to enjoy the evening with some of our family. Our kids danced around and had fun. Here are some cute pictures of them. Oh yeah by the way the concert was Eddie Money!! Big names for a big city :)

Here are some pictures that we took of our family before the reunion. We don't have many with the 4 of us. Enjoy :)

Here is our cute little picture of our family :) One of the very few of jus Rick and I.

Bull Riding

I bet that most of you didn't know that we have a real live bull that lives at our house. My boys have become quite the rodeo lovers and anything that goes with it. We act out the rodeo with our many animal toys. Jackson and Carson have about 15 or more horses 8 or more bulls and lots of baby animals, the have many equipments, tractors, horse trailer, cattle trailers, big rigs, flat beds. They even have gates and shoots. But one love they have always had is pretending to ride a bull themselves. Daddy is always been a good sport and being the bull but as they have gotten bigger so has the production of the bull riding. When he is not home they ride their radio flyer rocking horse, where the buck themselves off of it. We now have to get dressed up in our chaps, vest and hats to ride, Dad puts on a rope for them to hold on to. After they get bucked off they must run fast to the fence and jump up so that the bull doesn't get them. Here is a quick video of the news production I hope that it turns out and hopes that Rick doesn't kill me for posting it.

Jeepin'

Here comes trouble...Watch out drivers..in about 12-14 years :) Here is what you are up against!

I am sure that most of you have heard about the 7 year boy from Weber County, Utah that took his parents car for a joyride on a Sunday morning because he didn't want to attend church. As I was watching that I began to have fears that would be my child and could possible be my fault for giving him toys that could teach him how to drive.

Jackson who is now 4 received a Power Wheels Jeep for his 2nd birthday. Looking back I am wondering what I was thinking getting him a jeep when he was so little but he loved it and was able to drive it. He has become the best little driver I have ever seen...Here he is on his 2nd birthday with Carson who is only 6 months at the time.

Since then he has now mastered the skill of driving..he can back around corners, park, maneuver he jeep in tight places all in matter of less than 2 years. Carson who is now 2 1/2 has since figured out how to drive the jeep and has claimed it as his since Jackson has been riding his two wheeler.

But last night there was two little girls that are 2 years old that received jeeps recently and they were out in the neighborhood driving so this meant my boys had to get theirs out. So we had a little Jeep party. It was quite cute. Here are some pictures...

Here are the three Jeeps :) Cruising the neighborhood!

Jackson and Trinity (both share the same birthday April 11th just 2 years apart)

Carson and Olivia..he wanted to drive her jeep :) They took the ladies on a little ride..Carson and Olivia were having a good time until Carson tried to put his arm around her...she wanted nothing of that so she tried to bolt out of the jeep without him stopping..I laughed and thought he goes life for boys and girls :)
