So Cool in the Pool

Last update of Nana's visit! We finally went to the 'Big Building' (aka the Sleep Inn) to go swimming in their pool.

Look at those little fish!
Thrilled to be in the Big Building pool at long last!
Mama and her pretty girl.
Wish Daddy could have come!
These grandchildren love their Nana!

Vegas

When we were in Las Vegas, Mama met Thor and brought Jackson a 'dice' lollipop! Am I a cool mom or what?

Sorry Thor, but Jackson and Daddy are my real superheroes!
(This was at the wax museum)
A treat he could play with AND eat!
I failed miserably at taking pictures in Vegas. Here's one the photographer at one of the hotel's restaurants took of us. 

While Mama and Daddy are Away ...

... Addie, Jackson and Nana play! Mama and Daddy took a trip to Las Vegas. Nana and the kids had lots of adventures!

Breezy is hopeful some yummy morsels will fall on the floor.
Jackson and Addie play with the race cars.
Jackson and Nana made some fun edible snacks: apple cars and smiles with teeth!
They also played Candy Land with REAL candy! Lucky boy!
Yep, she's a climber!
Happy girl!
A day at the park!
Addie and Jackson have a snack.
Addie is stylish in her pretty eyelet lace hat.

A Visit to the Library

Nana, Bubah, and Jackson went to the town library for story time one day.

Hey, we know that name!
Jackson's first library book from the public library.
Listening intently as Hannah reads a story.
Art time! This boy painted a beautiful picture with a sun, rainbow, and flowers.

Time for a Picnic

Picnic in the back yard!

Mama brings the cookies.
Ready for a yummy lunch.

Jackson swings higher!
Love!

Out to Dinner

Here's an evening we all went out for dinner:

Daddy and Mama
The three girls!
Like father, like daughter?
Guess who's the photographer?!
Matthews!

Ice Cream Treat

After a summer in Virginia, Jackson was jonesing for some licorice ice cream from Discovery Pond.

Two sweet kids (extra sweet with their ice cream)!
Yum Yum!

Treasure Hunt

Nana spent two wonderful weeks with us in Montana! One day, we set up a treasure hunt for Jackson. He followed the clues to find a surprise ...

A clue was in Addie's swing!
Jackson finds another one in the freezer!
After running all over the house and outside following the trail of clues, Jackson finds the surprise in his Gator ... a fun remote-controlled helicopter! 
While Jackson plays with his new toy, Addie explores the yard. 
Pink ladies!
Addie is a climber! She climbs up on everything!!! And, she often gets herself stuck in some high-up places!

Home Again

We've arrived in Miles! Zeider met us at the airport and Bubah came the next day to visit. Mama's already seen quite a few friends but Jackson is anxious to see his pals!

On the plane ... Addie was a good girl.
Good entertainment is essential!
A walk with Bubah! Addie was too shy for this photo.
There she is!



Jackson's Recent Activities

 Tennis, hockey, Key Club Convention and working out with pals!
