Jacksons new word

He is so dang cute... could I say that any more. He now says Maaamaaamaa Daaadaaada and when he is doing something he shouldn't like standing at the entertainment center poking his finger in the VCR he looks at me with a huge smile and says NoooNoono.... Like I know mom, I can say it so you don't have to.

He is growing so darn fast. He stands up to things and is now letting go, He crawls anywhere he wants to go. He will be walking before I know it. It is not even fair.
I am such a lucky mom... I love my family and cherish every min with them.

Disneyland Disneyland Disneyland

We had so much fun!!!I was worried that Jackson would struggle. He did so Awesome, He loved the plane, he didn't make a peep just looked around. He slept better on vacation than he sleeps at home so it was great!
The kids all had the best time, We flew in on Wed so we took them to Newport beach. We rented a 15 passenger van and Matt became the taxi driver that hauled us to the beach!! Mom, Dad and Aunt Raquel came with us. I forget how incredible the sand is at the ocean, Jackson wasn't so sure about the sand at first but by the time we left he LOVED it.
The older kids swam and swam in the cold water, We had a fun time watching the surfers.
On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday all 25 of us hung out in Disney/California Adventures. We had so much fun, The park was not very busy especially on Thursday, we walked our little hearts out. On Saturday all the girls were treated to a princess lunch, the girls got to meet Cinderella, Belle, Snow white, Jasmine,Sleeping Beauty and Ariel. Madison Loved it. She beamed the whole time.
While we did that Matt took Brayden and Kade to go do their own thing. They did Grizzly rapids a ton and came back soaked and perma grin!
We made so many fun family memories, I am so grateful we were all able to be there. This was a family reunion we will all remember. Kade will never forget Grandma screaming on space mountain or the look on grandpa's face after California Screamin!!! Here are about a million photos, Love you all

HAPPY 8 MONTHS

I can't beleive it has been a month since the happy 7 months, Even more so I can't believe my baby is 8 MONTHS old. Time goes so much faster when you have a baby that you count the months bye. It makes me sad, the next time I blink he will be in 7th grade and Kaden will be home from a mission. I hate the thought of the kids not living with us and being out in the world on their own.

Here is a quick recap of the last month:
Jackson is learning new things every day, He is so funny. He has the army crawl down, he can move!!
He decided he should start to like a binky, he had it in his mouth for a good part of the day for about two weeks, and then once again will have nothing to do with it.
He has been sitting up on his own for awhile but now he can roll over onto his tummy and sit himself up. He is a smart boy
He is thinking baby food is not so hot, He would rather have what we are eating.. Like Daddys sugar cookie and Diet coke!! He has Matt wrapped around his finger, It is pretty cute.
He is still not sleeping, He is up 4-5 times a night, I don't know what has changed. He used to sleep better, He wakes up saying A MMMAAAAMMMMAAA,so I climb out of bed thinking REALLY...but then there he is sitting up in his crib holding his blanket rubbing his sleepy eyes. My heart melts and I rock him back to sleep, Every hour...... On the Hour.......I guess he has me wrapped around his finger to..
Kade is done with sports until baseball starts again, It has been nice to have our nights and Saturdays back, but part of me misses it, next year will be easier when Jackson is a year older. Kade is sad it is done, He really wanted to go to the Mini Bowl. They played some tough teams.
He is more than half way through the first semester of school, It has gone really fast.
He is such a big help, He and Jackson are so cute together. Kade can make Jackson laugh so easy, They are the Champs at Peek A Boo
We leave for Disneyland in 9 days!!!! Crazy,I am nervous to take 5 kids through the airport and on a plane. Not to mention Disneyland. It will be alot of fun when we get there. All the kids are so excited they can hardly stand it. They have all been counting down the days until we go.
Here is this months NOVEL, stayed tuned for chapter 2 :-)

Maddie and Jackson

We came home from church and Maddie wanted to watch one of her movies, she brought her blanket and pillow out and was laying on the floor. Jackson crawled over to lay down next to her so Maddie covered him up with some of her blanket. It was so cute. They are little buddies.

Captain Under Cover and Sparkle

Matt and Kirsha at the Daddy Daughter Party, They had lots of fun, Kirsha couldn't stop talking about it... Thanks Aunt Mel for all your hard work.

Matt Jr.

Jackson loves the vacuum, Matt was vacuuming this morning(what a good hubby) so Jackson was doing his little army crawl as fast as he could trying to catch it doing his oooooo oooo ooooo the whole way! When Matt would stop he would pat it and smile.


The last one is just a cute picture
