Wishing everyone a very happy new year!

Christmas 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas. Jackson definitely understood presents this year. We heard "more presents" alot. We had our Christmas morning on Christmas Eve morning because Tim had to work Christmas. It took Jackson about an hour to open 5 presents. It was great to watch him enjoying everything so much.

Santa brought Kaiya a giant bone

Playdoh from Uncle Scott and Aunt Mandee was definitely a favorite

Lights at Thanksgiving Point

Jack opening a present

Why I still have to convince him to wear a bib

Mmmm, banana chocolate chip pancakes

Zoo Lights 2008!

We checked out the bigger and better Zoo lights last night. There were alot more lights and animations. There were also more animals to see.

See the monkey? This is what happened when the camera turned off just as I was taking a picture of the monkey.

Jackson liked the turkeys

12 days of christmas video

Excited about numbers

I've been getting some grief from many a family member about my lack of postings. Well,not much has been going on. I've been busy being pregnant and tired and getting Christmas shopping done in between. Tim finally finished with this semester of school and clinicals and will be mostly home for the next few weeks until his final semester begins in January. Jackson is having alot of fun with daddy around. I had another appointment with the OB today and baby girl is growing and perfectly healthy. He will continue to track things closely since I technically had IUGR (Intrauterine growth retardation) with Jack but so far she feels bigger and stronger than Jackson did at this stage. For those of you who feel the need to satisfy a morbid curisoity to see my prego belly, I will post a picture when I start looking pregnant rather than just fat. For now, enjoy this video of Jackson getting very excited about finding some numbers. The video is really dark but hopefully you can make him out.

Surprise!

Jackson's little sister

Ultrasound went well. The baby is perfectly healthy and apparently a girl. I was a bit shocked only because in the ultrasound I had 5 weeks ago the doctor and I both thought we saw a little boy. I thought we would just be confirming that with this ultrasound. Surprise!

Just some pics

This little sailor outfit was worn by both of my brothers. My mom found it just in time. It fits Jack perfectly right now.

Halloween and Kennecott Copper Mine

Tim's parents are in town from Wisconsin this weekend so we went to see the Kennecott copper mine that is on the other side of the valley. Jackson loved the BIG trucks.

We managed to get Jackson in his monkey costume on Halloween. We did have to bribe him with candy but it worked! He made it to two houses before he wanted out of the costume. I wore a costume to work but did not have my camera so I will post pictures of me when I get them.
