My boys

I am so blessed and so thankful to have my precious boys in my life...yes, this includes Walt...although I don't normally refer to him as precious :) I am doing a prayer study with my friend and sister-in-law, Rebekah, on praying the scripture for boys. Of course I have spent a lot of time praying for the boys, but this study has numerous examples of scriptures to pray for Jackson and Dillan. I am amazed that God has blessed us with Jackson and Dillan and that He has given Walt & I the responsibility to teach them about God and His love. So I am glad to have this resource. Rebekah - thanks for finding the book!!!

This is Dillan taking a break from eating...he looks real hungry doesn't he :)

Jackson playing in the pool. He LOVES it!
As most of you know, Walt and Jackson go to Home Depot almost every weekend. Last weekend, Jackson got to participate in a crafts project. Walt said he loved it. He is putting stickers on the final product.
Such a sweet boy!

Walt, Jackson, and Dillan Dillan showing off :) In the above picture he is slumped over resting on Walt's arm, but in this picture you can see how good he is at holding up his head :) Jackson was done taking pictures :)

Dillan snoozing :)

Random Jackson Facts:

* Instead of answering "yes" he says "na-na" even though he can say "yes".

* Some of my favorite words that he says just because he says them so cute are Dillan, broccoli (even though he has never tried it), motorcycle / tricycle / bicycle (they all sound the same), Mickey, Munchkin
* He is really good at puzzles. He knows the following shapes (star, circle, triangle, square, and heart...sometimes oval, crescent, and diamond). When he counts he says "one, two, one two" so we are working on that :)

* Jackson still LOVES to play outside. On the weekend he spends hours outside with Walt while they work on projects. I try to go outside with Jackson at least once a day but it is a little tricky working around Dillan's schedule and the heat. It has been cooler the last couple of days which has been nice.

* Jackson watches Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Diego. It is fun watching him watch. He smiles throughout the show and has started laughing at things.

Dillan smiles a lot, but I have not had a lot of luck catching it on video. Here is a small glimpse of our happy boy :) He also tries to "talk" to us and he makes the cutest noises!
