SNOW DAY!

SERIOUSLY????
Last week=60 degrees. This week=snowed in.
It snowed ALL day. The snow was beautiful.
Brent even convinced Ashton to play.
Ashton wasn't so sure.
They sure had fun!
Jackson and Brent made a fantastic snowman.

Happy Birthday Jackson

Where has the time gone? Our little man is 4!
Happy Birthday, Jackson!
It wouldn't be a special occasion without another "Cars" car.
PUZZLES....better yet, DINOSAUR puzzles...YES!
Jackson LOVES puzzles. He immediately had to put this 48 piece one together.
Jackson LOVES dinosaurs right now. We asked him what kind of cake he wanted and he said "a dinosaur cake with lots of dinosaurs". I can do that : )
Blowing out the candles. (Ashton was cheering him on)
YUM!
It was sunny and 60 degrees the week before his birthday, and over Jackson's birthday weekend, we got 10 inches of snow. We're glad it's finally melting because our house can't take more "riding".
He's already asking us to take the training wheels off. We're trying to convince him that he needs to ride outside a couple of times before that happens. The sweetest thing about Jackson's birthday...right after he saw his bike he ran into his room, brought his tricycle out and said, "Ashton, I have a surprise for you" and then he gave her his tricycle! What a sweetheart!

Folsom Sanctuary Zoo

We took our yearly trip to Folsom. We LOVE the Sanctuary Zoo there (and the SUNSHINE). It was a great day. The zoo is perfect for the kids and there is a train we ride that is so much fun. The black bears were incredible this year. We saw cougars, bears, peacocks, deer, llamas, horses, monkeys, mountain lions, tigers, boars, and bobcats.
We can't go anywhere without "lovey" (the blanket).
Looking at the animals.
Cheesing it up.
The bears (very cool).
Our little "animals".
Some of the kids were petting the deer behind Ashton.
She was NOT about to touch the deer.
Our sweet Jackson.
Riding the train.
Waiting for our turn.
The train added a boxcar this year. It was a HUGE hit.
