Going to Work with Dad

This weekend Jackson was going to go to work with Dad. (Actually going to the lumber yard) but he was excited non the less. We had to pack a lunch bag :) Banana, cereal and rasins. When he got out to the yard the boys bought him licorice anyway... thanks guys!! He had a fun morning and hopefully when it drys up a bit he can actually go and work with dad where they are building their shop.

Jenna and I were reading the paper... well... I was TRYING to read the paper.. Jenna just likes to distroy the paper :) Then I had a bright idea to take her for a ride in this little wagon that holds jacksons legos. Well, after a close mishap I realized that there was this little sign on the side that showed a baby in the wagon with a big X through it.. OOPS.. lost my chance at mommy for the year!!!

Jenna is Crawling!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

Jenna started crawling this morning. I could not believe my eyes!!! Yesterday she was just rocking back and forth and ready to crawl, today she actually just took off!

Random Pictures

Playing outside on a nice day!!! I love this picture of Jenna.. the reflection in the sliding glass door is great. The other picture is of Jenna sun bathing and then Jackson posing infront of the refridge. He does not like jeans but looked soo cute in these! He was all dolled up for church on Sunday.

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!
