Jam Fest

Hannah Lu just woke up from her nap, and Jackson decided that she was going to listen to some rock n roll. Jackson got a radio from his Auntie(my sister) last year for Christmas. He has always enjoyed country music, but lately I have noticed that he has been listening to head banger hard rock. I don't really approve of that kind of music and have never liked it myself, so I have put a stop to that. This year Santa brought Jackson a Imagination movers CD. He absolutely loves it! Plus for me right? So back to todays jam fest, I suppose it is ok for Hannah Lu to listen to her brothers music since the earphones are plugged into his DS and is playing rock n roll from a motorcycle game that he has.

I should have video taped her because she was dancing and singing to the music.

And So It Begins....

A little bit a sibling rivalry started up tonight when Hannah Lu became interested in Jackson nintendo DS. She wanted to watch all the colors and movement on the screen as Jackson played mario kart. Jackson getting a little frustrated and pulling away, even moving into a different place, Hannah Lu would follow him. He was not happy when he lost a race because she grabbed it from him. So a little reminder to Jackson(which he is always getting when he and Garrett fight) that she is his sister and she loves him and wants to play with him. So his heart softened and this is what he did in the picture below. She watched him play for about 5 minutes and then she was done. Now if I could only get that to work more often between him and Garrett.

Auntie's visit

Last week my sister April flew into Salt Lake while we were out there, and drove home with us to visist for 5 days. We had lots of fun. The boys were so excited that she was here. She read lots of books to them, and played hide and seek. In the picture above Garrett was hiding behind a washcloth. In the picture below, he is just standing under the deer. As you can see he doesn't quite get the concept. It is a blast to play to play with him. He gives us a good laugh!

Garrett hiding from Auntie

We also went sledding at the golf course, and April took the boys swimming at the rec-center just before she flew out. We had so much fun this last week! Thanks for coming April!

Auntie and Garrett all bungled up, as Garrett was saying, to go for a walk in the freezing temperatures.

Me, Jackson, and Garrett

Auntie and Jackson

Auntie pulling Garrett on the sled at the top of the hill, because they went down and crashed. Therefore Garrett wouldn't ride anymore down the hill.

Auntie on all fours trying to walk back up the hill. We were laughing so hard she could hardly get up.

New Tools!

My mom sent this set of tools, to Garrett for his birthday. He has been waiting patiently for about 4 days. He is so excited that we hadn't even opened to boxes yet and he held the plain brown box up and said "I like these"! Of course he was more thrilled once the boxes were open. Thanks Mom he will be occupied indefinately!

holding his tape measure up because it is a little larger than we had expected. It about as big as round as his head.

Spiderman or Fireman....

......you decide!

Stuck

So tonight Shawn and I are watching the Jazz game (I'm not really watching, not a big fan of basketball) and I hear, "Mom I'm stuck, Dad I can't get out"! So I get up and walk into the other room and there was Jackson stuck in his basketball hoop on the bed. I had told Jackson to put the basketball hoop away earlier, so this must have been an attempt to do that. Needless to say I thought it was too funny that he couldn't get it off, and so I took a picture. The hoop never got put away. Perhaps tomorrow.
