I miss the pool!

It has finally turned pretty cold and I found these pics of kids (and cousins) at the pool.  Even Grandpa Jackson was having a great time! Too bad the summer is over.  We are not loving homework and long sleves.  Everybody enjoy the last of the pool pictures and we'll swim again next summer!  Love, ami

P.s.  We miss Paige!

HAPPY BIRTHDAT MOM!!

First Day of School 2009-10

Well, here we go.  First day of school.  Jenna and Ben are holding up their hands to say what grade they are in.  Sam drove away in the car.  Eden looked darling!  Poor Andy Jack was mad that he didn't get to go.  He went inside and got Ben's old Transformers backpack and wore it all day long. (he even made me put cheetos in in so that he could be like the big kids and have a "lunch")  Ben and Jenna wanted to ride bikes (yes!) and I hope the weather stays nice for a long, LONG time so they will continue to ride.  Now we are back to homework and strict bedtimes.  Too bad summer vacation is over!

The "forgotten" children.

I was looking through our families lovely blog and noticed that the two middle girls of the family (myself included) were not mentioned often on this blog. I guess I should just face it, it's middle child syndrome. However, I felt like occasionally it's nice to feel loved and remembered, so I put these pictures on of me, Eden olivia, and my darling sister JJ Gracie.
