Jenna is almost crawling..

So Jenna can now go from sitting to crawling position and sometimes back again. She is very close to crawling... but just hasn't figured it out quite yet. I am not sure I am ready for crawling yet.. nor is Jackson... I think Jenna would be happy skipping crawling and going right to walking. I am REALLY not ready for that. The last picture is of Jenna eating hamburger and rice noodles. She LOVES big people food and does not want anything to with baby food... SHE ABSOLUTLY LOVES bumpas meat!!! She is a burchill!!!!!

The Easter Bunny came while we were in Minneapolis!

Jackson ran around finding easter eggs... The Easter Bunny left green camo (his favorite color is green..refer to post on dying easter eggs:) eggs for Jackson and Pink Camo eggs for Jenna. He put jelly beans and money in each egg. Jackson had fun finding the eggs and helping Jenna find her eggs. Jackson found his easter basket and it had (last picture is of Jackson when he saw his egg): Meet the Robinsons movie, easter bunny ring pops, sun catchers, a little candy, spiderman bandaids, a book and ...da da dum... a webkins!!! A hippo webkins!! Jackson was sooo excited.. He turned it over and checked the foot for the webkins symbol. He has named it gumdrop. Jenna had fun shaking the eggs and listening to the sounds. Jenna had easter bunny bowling.. sippy cups... and I can't remember what else. ?? (Can you say long weekend??) It wasn't as much as the Easter Bunny left for some of my friends kids.. but my kids were totally ok with their gifts!!! They get soo spoiled all year that we really have decided to get the focus off gifts for the kids... at least from us.. since we all know that the grandparents are uncontrolable!!! Happy Easter. He has risen... he has risen indeed....

Easter in the "Big City"

Hard to get the two kids to look the same way.. took 4 like this and this was the best I could do. Jenna noticed the ears and Jackson started watching the movie.
Jenna's first purse... ohhh man.. I was soo excited!!!
My smiley little man!! He is soo handsome! This was before church on Sunday.
This was Jenna.. no frilly dresses for us.. it was tooo cold! She was sooo tired and running a bit of a fever... more tired from the weekend and the tooth coming through.

This weekend did not start out the way we planned. First we were all going to head to the cities on Friday but the snow storm kept us from going....so... Saturday we ended up going...minus Barry. Perry, Barrys dad is in the hospital recovering from surgery and just was not doing all that wonderful so Barry wanted to be with him and his mom. We really wanted to be with them too but the hospital is no place for kids to be. It was a whirl wind two days and I think it will take me a week to recover from it!! Here are a few pictures. The time flew by and I didn't get a ton of pictures.. but nana got some pictures that she will forward to me.

Decorating Easter Eggs

Jackson has Aspergers which sometimes means routine... LIKE ALWAYS!!! And this year when decorating eggs.. THEY ALL WERE GREEN!!!!! I did some other colors but THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE GREEN... Here's my question.. so I don't waste money on die kits that have other colors... can I buy one with just green. OH.. and forget the little egg dipper.. Jackson just uses his hands... and had green hands for two days!! It's all in fun!

More Eating Pictures...

Jenna is getting her first tooth.. ouch!! She is not fond of eating right now because of it and now that she has gotten a taste of "real" food that is all she wants! She is eating mashed potato's in these pictures. I just love the variation of faces.

Home and Garden Show - Future Owners of Burchill Construction

Meet the future owners of Burchill Construction!! We take part in Business After Hours and Home and Guarden Show every year and the kids always make an appearance and visit all the other vendors. This year was Jenna's first year. Jackson likes to "trick or treat" from booth to booth. This year there was a Shrek bouncer and Burchill Construction had a nintendo wii and plinko. People could play nintendo wii for $1 and all proceeds went to the Chahinkapa Zoo. We had a great turnout and the kids had a wonderful time. Jenna loves the people and chaios... and Jackson doesn't do well with that, but he showed us all today by doing WONDERFUL!!! He also had preschool testing this morning and aced everything. We will be starting preschool in the fall!

Snow Days!

Jenna was less than thrilled to be bundled up and going outside but Jackson was READY to go!! We went out and tacked the mounds of snow that we have gotten over this winter. Jackson had a hard time getting through all the snow and as you can see in the last picture.. Jenna was still not thrilled that I was trying to get some pictures of her. Oh well... Jackson had a blast!
