My cousin had her twins on Wednesday. They are doing great and are so precious. Blake Thomas Jackson was 4lbs13oz and 17 1/4". Ally Marie Jackson was 4lbs 4oz and 17". They were born at 33 weeks 4 days and both are doing great in the NICU unit. Here are some pictures of the little angels. Congrats Katy and Tom!

What big brothers do best!

Peyton starting zurburting Hayley's tummy last night. It was so funny. She was giggling and it was the first time I have heard her do that. She loves her big brother. He entertains her all day long. I guess thats what big brothers are good for. Enjoy



Also, Hayley read her first book last night. We got this book for her for Christmas because our house is full of boy books and we thought she could have at least one book that is just for her. I would have to say I think she liked it.

Cubbie Bear

We had a visitor from Peyton's school that stayed with us for a week. Cubbie Bears is the name of Peyton's classroom at school. Each week a child gets to take the class mascot a bear named Cubbie Bear home with them. Cubbie Bear comes in a backpack and he has books, a blanket, and snacks to go along with him. He also has a journal that the parents write in for Cubbie Bear with pictures of what they did throughout the week.
Peyton was so excited to have him and it was a lot of fun watching Peyton with his friend. I was a little worried that he would get really attached to the bear but he did fine bringing him back to school today. Here are some pictures of the two of them through our week.

Reading books to Cubbie Bear.Peyton had to show his new friend Hayley's swing. Cubbie Bear got to go visit Mommy's favorite store, Target.

He also got to go to the grocery store and get a cookie.

Peyton loved to give Cubbie Bear his snacks, Teddy Grahams.

Bath Time

Peyton's new favorite thing to do is take a bath. He asks to take one all day long and if I say no he says "Okay, take bath now" and runs in the bathroom and turns on the water. Its frustrating but hilarious at the same time. Anyways, the other night we gave both the kids a bath at the same time. They were so cute and Peyton thought it was so funny that Hayley was in the bath with him.

Little Gym Show Night

Peyton goes to Little Gym every Monday. He loves it and can't wait to go each week. This week was show week where family came to watch what their little ones have been up to. Peyton was the class clown in the beginning and was running around the circle showing off. He finally settled down and showed Mark what he does every week.


This is the group activity in the beginning. Peyton loves to go underneath the parachute.Peyton giving his friend Avery a hug hello. (he is so sweet sometimes but not so soon after he pushed her. I can never tell what is going to do, sorry Avery.)Peyton loves to walk across the balance beam.Showing Daddy how we hang on the bar.Peyton receiving his ribbon from Miss Leah.Playing with the decorations. How fun!

Aggie Pics

I think I posted one of these pictures awhile back but we got them all back a couple of days ago and they are so cute I had to share the rest. One of my really good friends has two girls Avery and Grace and they are the same ages as Peyton and Hayley. Last year we had Avery and Peyton's picture taken in their Aggie gear so we had to continute the tradition and do it this year. I think it will be so cute to have these pictures when the kids go to college. (to ATM of course)

3 Months Old

Hayley is 3 months old today. I can't believe it. She is growing so fast. I took the kiddos to get their pictures taken today. They turned out so cute. I put together a slideshow of some of the pictures. Enjoy!

Steve, you will be missed!

One of my really good friends lost her husband to cancer last night. Steve was a wonderful husband and an even more amazing father. He will be greatly missed by so many people. Please continue to keep his family in your prayers.

A child is a precious gift from God And baptism is God's gift wrapping

Hayley was baptized over the holidays. It was a very nice ceremony and we had most of our family there with us. Thank all of you for coming to help celebrate this joyous occasion.

Christmas 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. It snuck up on us and was over before we knew it. I didn't take very many pictures this year, with two kids I sort of forget about the camera. I did video Peyton seeing all the presents and his stocking in the morning. So, I get some points. Here are a few pictures from our Christmas.

Christmas Eve

Our littlest elf

The kiddos had semi matching pjs and this was our attempt at getting a picture of them.

Aunt Lacy and Peyton (the only time he sits still enough to be held is when he is drinking his milk).

Hayley with her Pappy Jack. She thinks he is hilarious!

Peyton and his Mr. Potato head, he loves it!

Peyton also got this dump truck for Chrismas. He thought he would climb on in.

Peyton picked out this horse for himself at the store one day. I hid it when we got back and put it out for him from Santa. He was so excited to see it and rode it all around.
