BEING BAPTIZED April 14th!

he he! I know, I know you thought fertal mertal was at it again! That won't be happening for quite sometime. Anywho, yes you read right My Baptism will be April 14th! I am very excited & feel so good about it. I feel like it is long over due but am glad I am finally doing it. I couldn't be happier. I feel like this is going to be so good for my family & myself & am so thankful to have the support of my husband and his family. The Elders visiting us are such great teachers and have such a great spirit about them, I just love having them in our home teaching me about the Gospel & the Church! We finally met our neighbors after living here for how long...the couple are in th same ward we are ...She was baptized in August & her husband this week! We also have two more families on our street in the same ward that have kids that Aiden plays with so it was nice to see familiar faces at church on Sunday(&finally attend the right ward). I am so excited for what these next few weeks hold for me!  I will keep everyone posted once I find out the time, it will be at the Schnepf & Combs building in San Tan Valley:)

{March} Kiddo Update

Brynnley has started crawling and pulling herself up on our furniture!!! She scales the couch and cruises around the living room, can you beleive it? She is growing so fast. I can't stand it, I wish she would slow down just a bit! She's such a sweet baby, such a cuddler with such a fun personality! Boy does she LOVE attention. Wonder where she gets that from??? Not her brothers!

Aiden is enjoying every minute of school and is growing into such a little man. He's writting his name and doing great with his numbers and letters. He would spend every second of his day outside riding his bike if I let him, and has now poppin wheelies as he rides down the road...Coolest Kid on the Block! No really, he is! Our door bell is constantly ringing"Can Aiden Play?"

Cash is growing like a weed and speaking so clearly lately. He's pretty much wrapped up potty training & is so proud of himself. He ofcourse is still living & breathing dirtbikes and trophy trucks. He dropped his favorite truck in the potty:( So we are on a mad hunt to find a replacement. Every trip to the potty he reminds me we need to go to Walmart for a new one!

Last week we went to the Zoo with Jeremy's mom and sisters!

Cash Feeding the Giraffe

The Kids had such a blast seeing all of the animals. The boys and mom got to feed the giraffes! It was such a treat to share such a fun moment with my boys:)

Febuary is Here!

So far Febuary seems to be on the right track!

 We spent superbowl Sunday at Jeremy's parents house eating lots of yummy goodies and watching the game on PaPa's new 70in tv. {you could see the sweat on the players, this tv is SHARP} The kids had a great time, they were not ready to leave to go visit their dad!

 Brynnley is still teething and having a hard time sleeping but is the happiest, sweetiest girl all day long.

She is so close to crawling it's not even funny, and she is so frustrated she can't just take off across the room with her brothers. Lastnight Jeremy had her down on the floor trying to get her to crawl, she was SOOO close! she would take a step and fall flat and then get back up on all fours and rock back and forth and try all over again. I'm betting in the next week we see some real progress. Im sure we will be headed to the store for some baby gates too!

We are excited to see our tax return to pay off a couple of things and spend a little on ourselves! Jeremy will finally get his Lazy Boy he can't live without and I get my camera I have been begging for, FOREVER. We are both prettttty antsy!  We will be headed out of town in two weeks to watch the off road racec in Primm, Nevada so I am very excited to take my new camera for a spin:)

Last Sunday we headed out with the intensions of meeting our new ward.About an hour in we realised we were not there at the right time!!! Jeremy checked the website and boy were we off. So, this Sunday we will give it another go. Wish us luck:)

Now we are just counting down until Valentines Day! Next week we will be making Aidens Valentines for his class. He stoked for his first Valentines day at school:) Pictures to follow!

Love always, the Jacksons

bring it on Monday!

Last week wasn't so great, so {fingers crossed} we have  this will be a better week! Last week included lots of important errands, appointments and STRESS. All of this resulting in frustration and tears. So while browsing pinterest, I ran into this pretty printable quote and totally had a DUH moment! Instead of spending hours thinking, stressing and crying over things that feel so out of control maybe I should take a little time to PRAY about it. It may not mean an instant answer but it will surely make me feel some releif. IT certainly did. Sooooo, I am ready to take on this week. I CAN do this! I have this amazing life, I am not going to waste anymore time worrying about the what ifs:)

Kicking off Jauary...

       {Aiden is off to PreSchool}

Big Brother Aiden has just started preschool! He is loving every minute of it and learning so much. It has made him so independent he hugs me goodbye and takes off to play as soon as we get there. This is such a huge improvement for him. We have had a really hard time getting him to go to Primary and let us head off to our classes at church. SO this new independent Aiden should make Sundays much easier! I will post pictures of his first day shortly.

{CASH HENRY}

Poor little Cash is very jealous that he doesnt get to go to school too and talks about Aiden's teacher Miss Sami, as if he's in class each week too! So we spend our days at the park or library while Aiden is gone so Cash feels like he is getting something special too:) Cash seems to be growing from toddler to big boy all of the sudden! He has such a funny personality & talks so clearly. I wish he would slow down he is only 2!

{Miss Brynnley}

Sister, (as the boys call her) suprised us with her 2 bottom teeth around Christmas time. She never cried or seemed upset about it. We just noticed her obvious teething on everything and the gallons of drool. She is now working on 2 more bottom teeth, which are not coming as easy as the first two. Needless to say shes not a happy camper around bed time and isnt sleeping 8 hours anymore. Darn it! She is also trying with all her might to be as mobile as possible. She rolls around the living room but the moment she rolls into something she will alert you to come redirect her. If you dont do so in a timely fashion...OH boy! she is also pushing herself up on all fours and rocking back and forth! This scares me...she cannot start crawling yet. I am not ready for that!

{Mr & Mrs}
As for Jeremy & I, we are just trying to keep up with the kids! Jeremy is always hard at work on his race truck, trying to tune it up and get it to the dunes soon...hopefully! We are FINALLY ready to leave the nest and attend our own ward. Suprised? me too!  We had been visiting Jeremy's parents ward since we have been together. Mostly because we know everyone there and are comfortable! We had planned for Jeremy to bless Brynnley in their ward but when the time came realised that they no longer had his records sooooo we couldnt. So this past week we found that they had been transfered already to the ward we SHOULD be attending! go figure right?! he he So, we will go this Sunday and hopefully be able to give this baby her blessing very soon! Wish us luck! Jeremy is scared because he has already received the phone call that they would like him to say the prayer before sacrament! (public speech is apparently not his thing...too bad fella!)

                                                                                                                 

2011 came & went....FAST!

2011 brought so many blessings.

We got married, and I gained such an amazing new family. I could not ask for better inlaws. They adore my children and are so sweet. Our wedding turned out so amazing thanks to all of their hard work! THANK YOU AGAIN if you are reading this! The Seymours lent us their back yard for the evening, it was perfect! We took off the next day for Laughlin for our mini honeymoon:)

 The Jacksons^

In July we welcomed our sweet baby girl Brynnley Kay Jackson. 6lbs 12 oz 20 in. It was by far the most painful labor for me, but oh so worth it! Jeremy, his mom and sisters were in the room with us to welcome Brynnley. They were troopers, this little girl sure took her time!

Big Brothers Aiden & Cash absolutly LOVE her! Its the cutest thing to watch them interact with her:)

- Love Always, the Jacksons
