More Spiderman!

I promised more Spiderman photos, so here you go. He is real cute!

Spiderman!!

Jackson has a new obsession. He LOVES Spiderman! He has never seen the movies but somehow loves it. It is almost as bad as his Star Wars obsession. So we just had an Organic Market open near the house and they were doing face painting for their Grand Opening. Of course he had to have Spiderman.

We just bought him a Spiderman costume, since all he wants to do is play dress up. I will try and get a photo taken today of that. I got him Spiderman sheets yesterday and he was so excited. He hugged me and told me I was his best friend.

So it looks like I am completely caught up on the blog!!!!!YEAH!!!!! I will try and keep it as current as I can now.

Love and miss everyone,

Going down to South Park.......

So we took the kids camping at the beginning of August. We met my mom, step Dad, and his other grandson, up in South Park CO. I went up with the kids on Friday afternoon and then my brother and sister in- law and Phil met us up there on Saturday. The first night was rough with all of us in the camper and because Ty and Jackson were fighting for Grandpa's attention. Ty is not really Jackson's cousin except by marriage, but they spend a lot of time together so that is what we call Ty. Cousin Ty was having a hard time sharing Grandpa and so was Jackson.

By Saturday I was dying for Phil and my brother Aaron to get there, so they could divert Jackson's attention. I also secretly was dying for Aunt Jess to get there. She has taken a real shine to Adeline and pretty much will not put her down when she is around. She loves Jack a lot, but Addie just melts her heart. It gives me a much needed break.

I was right, when Daddy and Uncle showed up Jackson had tons of attention and things seemed better. I was a nice time with the family. If only it had not rained from Saturday evening until late that night. Our tent was so water logged Phil had to sleep in the car with Jack. I was in the camper with baby.

It was fun, and I am sure we will be doing a lot more camping, but it is so much work. Thank goodness for my mom and Sam and their great camper!

Trout Fishing

Grandma has left and we are all very sad! We all miss her a ton! Phil decided it would be fun to take Jack on a fishing trip. So the two of them headed out on a Sunday morning to spend the day at a trout pond. When they returned they had three fish, all caught by Jackson. He was so proud of them, that he ate them without any problem.

Soccer!

Jackson started soccer this week. It is so funny!!!!! They play three on three, but there really is not much going on, except six preschoolers running in a group after the ball. The best is when one finally breaks free with the ball, and it is in their hands. They run and throw it in the goal. Jackson scored a goal after he ran on the field when he was not supposed to. The coach is great, he just laughed and let him have at it.

Since he starts preschool in two weeks, I decided to hold off on fall soccer. I want him to adjust to school without too much going on. I think we will try indoor Basketball in October and Swim lessons.

I am so glad he is old enough for this stuff now. He is definitely all boy and he loves sports.

The Denver Zoo

One of the last things we did when Phil's mom was here was take the kids to the Denver Zoo. Since we have moved we miss the Oakland Zoo terribly! If you have ever been to the Denver Zoo, it is quite impressive, and it is HUGE! Of course the day we pick to go it is about 100 degrees. There is a ton of walking. We had a good time but at the end we were trying to get out of there fast. Jackson was not really down with this. We were practically running by each exhibit and saying "there's the monkeys" and then 2 seconds later rushing to the bears. Not sure how much he saw in the end, but it was HOT!

The Oakland Zoo does not really have a big snake exhibit, but the Denver Zoo does. Jackson especially loved the poisonous snake exhibit. I hate snakes, I can barely handle the three tiny garter snakes in our back yard. SO you can imagine how hard it was for me to stay in the exhibit with him for so long. Luckily, it was inside and nice a cool.

Mohawk Buddies

Jack loves when I give him a Mohawk in the tub. He loved it when I gave sissy one too!
