Samson super sick and teething. Check out the spit filled shirt.

Jackson and Cousin Beanie making mashed potato's. Jackson was so happy to help!

The boys each got a train set from Grandma and Papa. We put the two together to make one giant track. The boys love it.

Christmas time and Happy about it!!

Grandpa even got a turn and gift from Santa.

Samson's turn. Not so thrilled or excited.

A chance to sit on Santa's knee. A little bashful but equally excited.

Samson wasn't so sure.

Santa came to Grandpa Adu-Darko's surprise Birthday party. Jackson was thrilled!!

A gift for the boys to share. ABC puzzle. HUGE puzzle which is never seen put together.

Jackson's first gift. A Diago lego set. Long time coming. He saw this everytime we would go to a toy department and wish he could just have it.

We had our own family Christmas before heading down to Calgary for the big Christmas with all our families. This was Samson starting with his stocking. A little overwhelmed and not so sure what was going on.

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.
