Jackson's Shout Out to his Florida Fam!

So this should show up as a video... like the one before it.. but anyway, this is me helping Jackson to say what hes been meaning to say... which is a big ole HELL-O to his florida family! :) love you and miss you all! im hoping I will get to see you all soon but who knows!

jack and I playing with Clifford!

I love playing with Clifford with Jackson because he gets so excited that hes the one moving it, and he likes when it falls on him.. its just cute.

fall down the mountain!

This last saturday we hiked R mountain... I think the R is for rexburg... but its also not a real mountain... its a BUTTE. but it was a lot of fun and took us about 2 1/2 hours total. Jackson is being shaded from the sun in the BABY BJORN!
happy camper......hiker
self timer on a rock. We were basically the only people up there... and it was so pretty!! seeing all the farmland below.
this was our "funny face" picture but it ended up looking more like a "before" picture on a diet ad. naturally i should post it.
hes not actually as close to the edge as it looks. we arent eegits, like those people at yellowstone!

overall awesome hike and day. and gala apple. drank 4 water bottles. thats how you know it good.

PS the reason for the title is that while it was fun hiking up, it was actually harder hiking down because its a lot of steep slopes with rock under sand... which is a perfect sliding situation. and we both slid and fell a few times. luckily noone got hurt.

we wont be taking jack up there again in a carrier!

Ketchup! or Zoo...

I know I should take time and get all caught up but lets face it... thats gonna take a long time and is less motivating than just posting whats been going on recently. BUT I am making myself post about our trip to the zoo with mandy, sarah and alex and SJ! It was a lot of fun AND the Idaho Falls zoo had a surprising amount of animals!

It was Jacks first trip to the zoo, which we kept getting excited about and pointing out... as if hes going to remember it! He really slept most of the trip, which was probably for the best... for everyone. We also had a nice picnic at the end (I know I should move those pics to the bottom but my computers being a pain... ) ANYWAY.. lunch was delicious and brad and jack were definitely tuckered out.

It was so fun having Mandy and Sarah up here!!! Mandy stayed at our apt and is sooo good with Jackson... he LOVES her and she always can calm him down. I think he has a crush on his aunty. I told him no. :)
