Lil Kickers

We enrolled Jackson in soccer. It is really just a good outlet to run around and get rid of some energy. But, they do work on some skills and use the ball. Jackson had a great time at his trial class. We offically start in December and can't wait. Plus, the outfit and new shoes were enough to convince me the soccer class was a good idea!






Kicking the ball and scoring his first goal:





Having a little fun after all the hard work:

Dog Monitor

I guess since Logan and Kylie hang out right next to Jackson while he eats, Jackson decided to return the favor. Here is Jackson monitoring the dogs while they eat dinner. He sat there until the dogs were all done and then inspected each bowl to make sure they ate everything. Too funny!






And just to add a cute close up of the little man:

Lawn Maintenance

We have been enjoying gorgeous November weather. Jackson decided to take advantage and do a little lawn maintenance before the first snow fall. That could be coming very soon! Here is he with his lawn mower- which is currently one of his favorite toys.






And then relaxing after all of his hard work!

18 Months

Jackson turned 18 months old today. Crazy how quickly time is flying... We go to the doctor later this week and I will post any stats and updates. This evening we caught him partaking in his favorite activity.

Funny Mood

Jackson was in a funny mood this morning. He was running around the house putting everything on top of his head. He was running into the doors, the dogs, just pretty much being silly. Don't worry all activity took place under close supervision.





This bucket caused several collisions with Logan and Kylie.

More Halloween

Here are a few more Halloween pictures with Jackson's friend Ella, the turtle, and at preschool. Jackson was so great wearing his costume. Such a trooper with the many activities and events he attended. Tonight he had so much fun hanging out with the neighborhhod kids handing out candy. Overall a very successfull Halloween.

The Monkey and Turtle:



At preschool hanging out with his teacher Miss Maggie and playing with pumpkins:

Boo at the Zoo

This weekend, the Denver Zoo had "Boo at the Zoo" where kids dress in Halloween costumes and can trick-or-treat throughout the zoo. Jackson did not really trick-or-treat but he had fun at the zoo dressed as a monkey. Plus, Dustin is out of town for Halloween and wanted to have somewhat of a Halloween experience with Jackson. I included a lot of pictures, but seriously, have you see a cuter monkey???

Elmo's Song

Jackson was pretty fussy the other night so I randomly tried You Tube to entertain Jackson. Jackson does not watch t.v- he just is not interested and won't sit still long enough. However, I then discovered "Elmo's Song" on You Tube and Jackson LOVES it!! He sings along with Elmo- it is pretty cute.

Chair and Pumpkins

Jackson's Grandpa Aldridge made him this chair. Jackson loves to sit in his chair and rock. He also sits in his chair and plays with the remote control...apparently immitating his mommy! Thanks for the great chair, Grandpa!




Grandma and Grandpa Aldridge also sent a Halloween book. Jackson loves the pumpkins and I am pretty sure I have read the book 500 times already. Thanks guys!!

Present

Jackson got this great jacket from his Uncle Stacy and Aunt Norah from their trip to Nantucket. Thanks guys- it is really cute and a very thoughtful gift!

We're Back!

Sorry for the blog hiatus, but things have been crazy and then our computer completely crashed. Anyway, we are back and I have added a bunch of posts and photos. We will try and stay more up to date in the future! Enjoy!!
