This is Jackson's Sunday school class. Owen hadn't arrived yet. Doesn't he look impressed? They looked so cute.

They did such a great job. Jackson was so funny. When he caught be taking pictures he started to wave, and after every song he would give a thumbs up. We are so proud he actually stayed up and did the whole program. Way to go Jackson!!

... the stars in the bright sky....

Santa came to church yesterday. The boys were stunned and excited. Santa is known in our house as the one you get a candy cane from and a happy picture.

.... And a happy new year. God bless.

Thanks Budds for the sled. He loves it!!!

Snow angels!!

Cutiest puppy I've ever seen!!

Snowboys!!

The weather was great yesterday morning. After school, we played for about an hour before coming home. We had a blast!

Jackson, puppy and teddy having a picnic.

The other morning we were looking for Samson. It was still dark out and we search for almost five minutes or so before turning on the light. He scared me when I went behind the love seat to flip the light on and he was sitting ever so quiet in the basket. He was having a quiet moment with his morning milk fix he just can't kick, and started to cry when I turned on the light and was found. It could have been my scream I suppose.

Goof!!

Stockings all hung in a row.

This basket is for blankets, but Samson has now turned it into his new lounging spot.

Jackson, Shar, Lauren and a few other new girlfriends.

First band-aid.

About a month ago we took some family pictures for Christmas. Here is a peek.

Stinky #1

Stinky #2

This is Jackson in his music class at school on the 31st. All the kids dressed up and brought candy for all there little friends. Here the teacher was starting the story. I am glad this season is over. While the teacher told a halloween story in her witches hat and seeing Jackson's face, I wanted so bad to Whisk him away. Why dose this holiday have to be so mean and dark. We tried our best to make it fun and all about the candy. Despite all the bitter feeling about that day, it was fun to dress the boys up ,take pictures and enjoy the cuteness of our stinky little skunks.

Jackson and his little friend Anna singing and rocking the baby in the blanket. It was super cute.

Happy Birthday Jackson!!

3 Years old and loving every second of it!!

Jackson, Owen, Kaidyn and Sydney. Little friends from church met us St.Albert for some fun kid gym time. They had a blast. After playing and working up an appetite we headed off to Mc Donald's for a fun Birthday lunch.

Fun with foam!! Perfect room for kids with foam walls, floors and stairs.

Playing in the house. Jackson was looking however something caught his attention at the last second.

We went to Wal-mart to find Jackson's Helicopter he wanted to buy from Great Grandma and Samson conked out on us. Still asleep in the cart he enjoyed to experience with his eyes closed.

On our way to get Daddy from downtown and then off to swimming and a great dinner. The boys loved swimming. Jackson just jumped right in. With his whole head going under he would come back up with a huge smile on his face ready to do it again and he did about a hundred times. He also learned to swim on his own with just the life jacket. He loved the water slide and would push himself away from you to go faster.
Samson did really well. Not so sure at first he soon warmed up with Daddy's help spinning him around in he floaty swimming thing. We had a blast.

And when we got home from our Swimming and dinner, Samson was just plain tuckered out. After a day filled with fun he was ready to say good-nit.

This year we decided to get Jackson his own guitar. He picked the color not so sure he remembers though. He got a firetruck with cool buttons to push, a little people helicopter from Great Grandma a pick out from "Nal-Bart"aka Wal-Mart, and from our neighbor a fishing rod and foam shooting thingy.

Spoiled by friends and neighbors this was Jack collection of new gifts. Even after such a full day, he was still not ready for bed.

After a good nap after a hectic morning for Jackson at school we had a lazy Monday afternoon. Some much needed car time.

This thanksgiving weekend we went down to Calgary to celebrate the boys birthdays in a joint party. We had a blast. We decorated the ceiling on the main floor with clusters of balloons everywhere and balloons outside in the tree and even a cluster on our car. Samson was taking a needed nap during these pictures and I honestly forgot to go out and take some pictures with him. Sorry little man. All in all the party went great and thank you everyone who came for coming and for all the presents. This next week is going to be lots of fun and loud to I guess! Thanks mom and dad for opening your home and time you put in to making this day go so good!!!
