The Beginning of Spring and a few other pictures

I am so excited that the weather has finally begun to be nice. Jackson loves to be outside and this afternoon when the temperature warmed up, we went out back to walk around the woods a little bit.

This is Miss Kitty...we inherited her when Kevin, our next door neighbor passed away. She is so sweet and friendly. She follows Jackson around. He loves the "kitty".
Still a bit wobbley...
Bathtime!!





Chasing Miss Kitty.

Stephen, Sarah and Aiden came home this weekend. Mom's birthday was Friday and we headed to Thomas' for dinner. On Sat. the boys enjoyed the day outside.
I wonder what Jackson is telling Aiden...Aiden is thinking, "Don't even think about taking my football away"!!!!


My Dad kept telling Aiden that there was a monkey in the pipe. Aiden said he heard it and told his mommy to get it.

These pictures are a bit out of order, but a couple of weekends ago, my Aunt and Uncle renewed their wedding vows in Cincinnati - 40 Years!! We did some sight seeing and went to the outlet malls, just Mom and me went. In the little town that my Aunt and Uncle live in, the theme in the town is squirrels. They are dressed up and are all over the town. I took lots of pictures.
Jackson fell asleep in his chair the other day and I snapped a few photos.

My Aunt and Uncle go to a church called the Vineyard. It is HUGE!!! I can't believe how big it is. He works in the Discovery Land, which is the nursery/Sunday school classes. He averages about 800-900 kids EVERY weekend!! Can you believe that?!! They had an artist come in and paint the walls. It is all ocean and it is soooo neat.

If you look closely at the clouds, you can see animals

This is the restaurant area. They have a restaurant and book store right in the church. This looks out onto a lake and outdoor patio.

Breakfast at Bob Evan's the next day
This is the entrance to Discovery Land, where all the kids come

My friend Angela's step-daughter, Aubrey, had her 8th Birthday/Pool Party at the Super 8 like she did last year.
This is one of the gifts she got from us. She is such an artist...and she is really good at it.

Aubrey's new suit for this year. Too cute.
It is amazing how fast Jackson has grown. The picture above is this years party and the one below is last years. Jackson was 2 months old in the one below and he is 14 months in the one above. Look how much Aubrey has changed too.

We tried to put Jackson in with Kayla and he screamed... he usually loves the water. I'm sure it was because Eric and I weren't in the pool with him. Grandma and Grandad have a pool at their new house...he better learn to like it.
