We are still here!

Hey~ So.....no pics but since it has been forever since I posted (and I have heard all of your request) I decided to let you know what we have been up too. My stinkin" camera broke in September and I waited to get a new one during the "black friday" sale. Got one and am still trying to figure out how to use it. When I do, there will be a gallery of pics to go through.

Cade has officially started preschool. He loves it most days but sometimes is sad when I leave him. When I return to pick him up they tell me he forgot about me as soon as I walk out the door. Crazy! We love to see all of the art projects he does and the new songs he has learned. His new favorite saying right now is "what the heck?" (I must say that alot!). He has a new obsession with Buzz Lightyear and his first day of preschool they asked him what his name was, his response "buzz lightyear". The teacher laughed and said "glad to meet you". He is a riot!

Jackson is officially crawling around the house like crazy. Two days after learning to crawl he decided to start pulling himself up to his feet. I was a little nervous but stayed back to let him test the waters. Seriously, the second child sure does pick up on stuff alot faster. The other day, I saw Cade teaching him how to crawl up the stairs. I had a few heart attacks when I saw that. Besides getting his teeth, he is an awesome baby.

Brian is still busy as ever with work. He is playing basketball for the rec center with some church friends and loves it. They seem to play basketball every other weekend and one of them is getting hurt. They never learn and I just ignore it! His other spare time is spent with me and the boys. What can I say......I am selfish! :)

I have been learning how to maintain two hungry hyper active boys, a clean house, training to run a half marathon in June and trying to build our food storage. My main reason for not posting is that I am on the internet looking up things about food storage or couponing. My new year resolution is to get our food storage up to par. (I can't very well counsel it in my church calling and not do it myself.)

Well....that us in a nutshell. I hope to post pictures soon. Maybe the camera fairy will help me.

Smiles with Every Last Stinkin' Drop!!!

Cade has an obsession with orange juice. He is so obsessed that he likes to get every drop from the container.

The only other person I know that loves orange juice so much is......my Dad. Cade knows that if I tell him no more orange juice his "papa" will always give him some. They love it with every meal and in between!

Jackson smiled at me today and I kind of caught it on camera! We are loving that he is growing up and showing us his personality everyday. Wild hair and all!!!

Newborn Pictures!!!

Our friend Jessica is a photographer and we loved that she was able to take Jackson's newborn pictures for us. We love them and are very excited to show a few to our family and friends. Thanks again Jess!!!

Where are the ladies at?????

When we went to Jackson's newborn checkup with our pediatrician they tested him for jaundice. He started out not bad but wanted us to have blood work done the following day to make sure his numbers were going down. Unfortunately the numbers went up and were increasing slowly. We had to admit him into the pediatric unit of the hospital and let him soak in the bilirubin lamps for the night. He loved laying in the warmth and rarely wanted to come out of it to eat.

Brian and I laughed because his hair is dark like mine with blond streaks throughout. His is natural, mine is not!!! Now he is tanning (not really)!!! He is starting early to catch those ladies HAHAHA!!!!

Jackson Max Webster

Jackson arrived on May 18,2009 at 5:48 pm. He weighed 7 lbs 2.1 oz. and 20 inches long. We made it to 37 weeks- to the day- and we were very happy! Cade is a GREAT Big Brother and has taken to the changes with ease! We love having Jackson as the new addition to our family. Here are a few first pics of Jackson and his pile of hair.

Denver

We headed out to Denver in March to have one last trip before the baby is born. We decided to take Cade to the Downtown Aquarium and Denver Zoo. We picked a great weekend! The days was 75 degrees with a slight breeze. It was a perfect getaway and Cade loved all of the animals he saw. He talked about it for days after!

Soooooooooo tired.......
