Jackson Swings

I just love how much fun Jackson has swinging!



I know this is long, but had to share. That belly laugh is contagious!

Swing

Dustin attached the baby swing to the new play set.




Brady LOVES the swing and has a really hard time sharing with Jackson! I think we will need to get a bigger swing for Jackson to enjoy!

Elmo

This morning I was trying to get everything ready to get out the house and thought it was a good time to introduce Brady to Elmo.

He loved sitting in his new chair and watching:



But, it lasted about 8 minutes! I guess that's about right for a 15 month old!

Jackson tells a Story and Sings a Song

Here is Jackson talking about the gulper eel and the whales that live in the ocean while Brady blows kisses:




we had to take a brief break to get salt and pepper for his mac-n-cheese...then here is Jackson singing the name song:



Brady is dancing to Jackson's sweet music! Sorry about the bad lighting, but too good not to share!

New Playset

Thanks to Craigslist, Jackson got a late birthday present:




While Jackson played on the slide, Brady played in the water table. Brady LOVES the water table!



The Jackson posed for the camera:



And Brady ran around the rest of the afternoon with a wet bottom:



A great summer afternoon!

Hats

Grandam (MJ) sent Jackson some fun hats and vests before his birthday party last month. They were a hit and continue to be lots of fun!

New Chair

Papa (Aldridge) made Brady a new chair.




He loves it! Thanks so much!!

Durango

This weekend we headed to Durango to meet Dustin's family and camp for the weekend. Overall we had a great time. The boys did great on the ride down there and on the way back (with just a little help from "Horton Hears a Who")!

The boys ate:



played:




got EXTREMELY dirty:




cut wood with Papa:





went white water rafting...Jackson had a great time once he moved to the back where he got splashed less! (this picture is during the big rapids without Jackson and me (or Aunt Norah)):



hung out with Uncle Brandon:



threw rocks in the river:



and slept on the ride home:



It was such a fun filled weekend, with a couple of mishaps in the middle! Everyone had a great time. Jackson still asks if we can go back to Durango! Thanks for everything Aldridges!
