Some pictures of the kids

Here are some odd pictures of the kids that I have not posted yet.. Jackson is showing us his muscles.. MAN is he built like his daddy!! Jenna is enjoying looking at herself in the mirror... and I painted Jenna's toe nails the weekend before we went to Mexico!!!! They looked soo cute.

Quick Update

Sorry, no pictures right now. I will post some when we get back from sunny (hopefully sunny) Mexico. Quick update. I am running around pulling my hair out getting everything ready to go... Barry is running around pulling his hair out (thankful) that Burchill Construction is soo busy... Jackson.. well, when is he NOT running around :) and Jenna.. he new trick is "Soo big"..(see video on the left side of this screen under Burchill Videos) man does she get a kick out of herself. Barry and I just met with Jacksons speech teacher and he is made MAJOR improvements over last year.. leaps and bounds!!! Barry and I were the proud parents sitting there getting a good report. Then Kristi (his teacher) pulled out a heart wreath that he made in art time.. HE CUT SOO WELL.. Kristi was even amazed... Jackson is a very passionate child.. anything he puts his mind to he will excel in! His social behavior is really coming along. He is ready for PRESCHOOL!! Yep.. enrolled him for the next school year!! 3 days per week from 8-11... anyone that knows Jackson knows that he LOVES to go to school.. I hope it stays that way!! We have not told him yet since I know he will want it to be NOW!! Jenna.. she is growing like a weed.. every day we think today is the day a tooth pops through.. but still waiting. Screamed the other day while feeding her cuz I thought I saw a tooth.. nope.. piece of rice cereal.. sigh! She is reluctantly working on crawling.. she has the backward shimmy down to a T!!! She is starting to push herself up onto her "haunches" as Barry calls it! Not rushing anything. She is still on a gluten free baby diet and we plan to keep that up until a year old.. infact her first taste of "real flour" and not rice flour will prob be her birthday cake. So.. things are well here.. I will update when we get back!!! Say a prayer for everyones safe return!! Luv everyone!

Sledding

Carter and Jackson

We are sooo terrible.. last year we were out sledding all the time. With a little one it is much harder to do those things not to mention thowing in an incident with a table saw... :)

Here are some pictures from today and Jackson and Daddys sledding expedition. FIRST.. a fun story from church. It was the childrens sermon and Jackson went up. They were copying the pastor playing follow the leader. She was a mama duck and the kids were all baby ducks. Jackson thought that was fun. Then she went onto asking questions. Well, my son piped up and gave the church a 2 minute talk about things he has learned like cutting paper... etc. She was talking about how we need to learn from Jesus and be good followers. Well, the church got a big kick out of Jackson and his humor. Pastor Julie said that she likes Jacksons enthusiasm and wants to see him around more. My heart was filled with such pride... Jackson has come soo far!!!

A day in the life cont..

All of the pictures could not fit on one post.

This is what I am FOREVER looking for and finding ONE lying around... Jenna's socks.. she takes them off all the time and we are always missing one or both. Ahhhh..... nap time for the baby!!
NINTENDO WII.... One of Jacksons FAVORITE past times!!! He is doing soo well at it.
These pictures are of Jackson playing bowling. His favorites are boxing and bowling.. though he kicks butt in anything he trys!
Jenna playing Wii... she loves to chew on the nunchuck and watch us play.

A Day in the Life of the Burchills

I thought it would be fun for people to see what a day in the life of the Burchills looks like... at least a weekend.
Computer time...noggin, webkins, disney or learning games! Jackson is a computer wiz.
Jenna playing on her xmas toy.
Our weekend tradition... gluten free pancakes... seriously.. they are DELICIOUS!!
Yum blueberrys... NOT IN THE PANCAKES THOUGH...
Our Messy Kitchen after making gluten free pancakes and barrys waffles and eggs.. it was good!

Jacksons Two Favorite Things

Ok.. really he has a ton of favorite things..but these top the list. Trains and Nintendo Wii...NOT just Wii... but you must call it NINTENDO Wii! He is doing such a great job at playing the Wii and Barry and I really have to try to win against him. It has been a great addition to our house!! It has kept us busy... busier than just sitting on the couch. In fact, I really can't remember the last time he asked for a movie! :) The train set is another.. it takes us a while to set up but boy do we have fun when it is up. He loves the conductor hat and whistle he got from Auntie Lissa, Uncle Ryan and the kids. Here are some pictures of him and his favorite things and I promise to have video up soon of him playing Wii.. I mean.. Nintendo Wii.. It is a hoot! Oh.. threw in a picture from our trip to Fargo (aka...the other big city as Jackson calls it). We made a stop at Shields and went on the indoor ferris wheel.. Jackson loved it. Mom and Dad both got to go on a ride with him.

More Christmas Celebrations

I wanted to share some pictures of more Christmas celebrations in the "big city" as Jackson calls it. I am toying around with video... stay tuned :) Jackson got a train set and anyone that knows him KNOWS he loves trains. Then he got an engineer had, bandana and whistle. Jenna.. she got her first cabbage patch kids! Jackson is proving to be all boy...and Jackson.. all girl!! We are soo very blessed!!!
