Airplane Ride

Christams Eve started out early for us. We headed to the airport at 4:30 am and boy was Jackson excited. He got to ride on the shuttle bus and explore the whole airport!

It was quite an adventure traveling with a toddler and I just keep thinking we have to do this again! Jackson did great, but our last flight was a bust. We were to be in Fresno at 12:30 and didn't get here until 4! Jackson was awesome the entire flight, but the last 30 minutes were hell. Jeff and I took off his clothes off and put his shoes on and off. This helped cause he thought we were getting ready to go bye bye! All in all he did really good, can't complain especially with all the delays and all.

Here is Jackson and I sitting on the shuttle!

It was nice to see my family when we got here!
I do have to say that we are thinking of everyone in Iraq. Jeff and I passed a lot of soldiers and a few I asked if they were coming or going, they all simply replied "going." I almost started crying every time I saw them. We told them Merry Christmas, Thank you and good luck! We are thinking of them.

Sorry this is so random, Jackson is sitting on my lap and I can't concentrate!

California Bound

Well, we are officially packed and ready to go! We will head out tomorrow the 23rd to Georgia and have dinner with my cousin Robin and she will take us to the Hotel where we will stay for the night. Christmas Eve morning we will take a shuttle to the Airport and fly out at 7:15 am. We do have a connecting flight in Dallas and will arrive in Fresno at 12:30! Yeah!!!!!!! That's if the weather cooperates!

We can't wait to see our family and friends and just visit!

I will try to post while we are there. We are staying with my Dad who doesn't own a computer, but I know plenty of people that I can bug and use theirs!

We hope you have A Merry Christmas and we'll be thinking of you all,

Jeff, Cindy & Jackson

Letter from Santa

This year Jackson received a letter from Santa! Santa wanted to let Jackson know how proud he was to hear that Jackson was a good little boy this year. He some how knows that Jackson wants a Dinosaur for Christmas this year. HHHMMMM!!!!

I wonder how he know this!!!

Anywho, I will share this with Jackson and put it in his baby book!

Merry Christmas to Jackson!

Christmas Came Early

Grandma B & Grandpa Art sent our Christmas gift via mail this year. We wish we could have done this in person, but thank god for the Internet!

This year Jackson actually opened his first Christmas gift on his own. It's kind of nice to sit and watch all the expressions on his little face as he was opening it.

That's was a good one!
It's Melmo!
That is how Jackson says it at least!

Kisses for Melmo!

He jumped a couple of times when Elmo would start talking, but is liking it a lot more now!

Thank you Grandma B & Grandpa Art, I love my Christmas gift. See you soon!

Cookie Monster Part II

Yummy Little Almond Cookies

This time we were in our high chair making a mess instead of on the couch.

Happy Birthday Jeff

Happy Birthday to my brother Jeff! Wish we were their with you, Love you!

Cookie Monster

Today I baked sugar cookies for Jeff's squadron and this is how they turned out! I had 2 cooling racks and one large piece of tin foil on the counter with all these cookies. They were mainly sitting out so the frosting would harden. Well, Jackson took it upon himself to steal one while I was on the phone! Luckily we have leather couches and not fabric, I would have been one unhappy camper.

This is what I found! One cookie and a huge mess! It was a lot worse then it looks, but he was covered in frosting. Both hands, face, shirt and couch!
I caught you Mr.
Can you see his devilish ways now? I tell you this kid is to smart for his britches!
Mommy's little cookie monster!

Sleep, part II!!!!!!

Last night was the best night ever! Jackson actually slept all night without waking up!!!! Yeah for Jackson & Yeah for Jeff and I! I can't remember the last time Jackson slept all night. Well, actually I am lying, I can just look back at a previous blog and check! But, that was probably in July or August. (August 12th was the last time he slept all night)

I hope we have more good nights in the future!

Here is a picture I never posted, it's of Jackson's new bed! We bought this for him in September thinking that it would help him get a better night sleep. The only thing it helped with is that I was in the other room and Jeff was fast asleep in ours. So not fair! So needless to say that Jeff and I have pretty much been sleeping apart for months now.

This was something I have always said "no kids will ever sleep with us." Well, I am only doing it so Jeff can get some sleep and being that he's flying, I would rather keep the peace at the moment!
