Spending time with Daddy

Well Josh left Saturday for his yearly snowmobile trip with the guys. As you can see Josh and Jackson spent some quality time together before he left. I am sure they will BOTH miss each other a lot! Jackson is a big Mommy's boy right at the moment, but boy does he love his Daddy!!!

Jackson and Evan

Last friday night Jackson and I went over Evan's house to play, as you can see they really love eachother:) Evan is 5 months old now--he is growing up so fast and is such a cutie! I am sure they will grow up to be best friends and give their parents lots of gray hairs:)

We Still Love The Bucks!!!

Ok so the Bucks were definitely off last night---but Jackson does not care if they win or loose:) He is just happy to be a OSU fan!!!
Josh's comment about the game this morning was that if Lincolnview(his high school) had a football team they would have beat the Bucks last night:)

Merry Christmas!!!

Well we had a wonderful Christmas this year. It was a lot more fun with Jackson--he did not really get the concept, but loved all of the paper and boxes! We wanted to thank all of our loved ones that thought of us this year--Jackson got a lot of really nice stuff!
