I'm slowly catching up from the holidays...

We had lots of fun this year with Jackson and getting ready for the big day! One night we made sugar cookies! Lots of flour, one big mess, and a fun memory later, and we had four dozen sugar cookies to frost! (Next year, I'll be halfing the receipe!) By the time we were done baking them, we ran out of time and energy to frost them! Unfortunately the only cookies we frosted were the few for Santa!


And of course we HAD to have a flour fight!

Going to see the lights at Temple Square is always a tradition!

The beautiful view from the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building!

Ready for some fun times in the snow! ("Mom's making me take this dumb picture and all I want to do is go outside and play!")

Yes, that is his lawn mower and 4-wheeler in the sled!

This is a change! A future picture in about 50 years!


Jackson loves it when Daddy shaves! He thinks he looks like Santa Clause!

I had to get this picture! I came in and found the boys shaving!

One of the most scariest nights I've had as a mom was last Saturday night! Jackson woke up at 1:00 with this "barking" cough and had a tough time breathing! Steve and I had a long night of rocking him, getting the humidifier going, bundling him up and taking him outside to sit on the porch a few times, and waiting for morning to go to the doctor. The doctor said he definitely has croup! Not fun! So this week has been alot of staying home, trying to be creative with a 2 1/2 year old! We've watched alot of cartoons, disney movies, and curious george; built train tracks, blocks, colored alot, and built alot of forts with ALL the blankets in the house! Being sick with Jack is a lot of fun work! He is getting better and hopefully life will be back to normal soon!
