Moving time!

We got together with lots of friends before our move.

We love these guys! 

 Marshall and Clay have become great swimmers!

Ketti was a big help with our move.  I was so tired of packing and unpacking.  We decided to take a break and have a beach day last Saturday at Bodega Bay.  It was just what we all needed.  

 Bodega Bay

Tanner loved crawling on the sand...and eating it too.

Father and Son Camping

 

Grandpa visited from Oregon to go camping with the boys.  Tanner and I stayed home and relaxed. 

 Tanner is eating yummy baby food.  Marshall gets grossed out by seeing him eat.  I'm still trying to figure out what to do about it.  Any suggestions?

School is almost out!

 Clay at his Preschool Graduation

 The boys love when Corbett reads to them!

 Water time...Summer is coming. 

Tanner at 6 months

 Clay likes Tanner's funny noises.

 Marshall likes to hold him!

Spring!

 While I was sorting the laundry, these are the things I found in my kids pockets.  It made me smile.

 Usually "clean out the fridge" dinner doesn't look like this, but my creativity turned out really good this time.  I had the following that I needed to use before it went bad: pesto, salmon, peppers, asparagus, precooked rice.  I made pesto rice- never heard of it, but it was really good.  I made extra marinade to saute the veggies.  Marinated salmon in soy sauce, garlic, honey, brown sugar and butter.  Yummy!

We planed this Oklahoma Rosebud tree when we moved in 4 years ago.  It is so beautiful in the Spring!  I can only imagine what it will look like in 20 years. 

Easter

 Prior to Easter, Corbett had two grandparents and a baby cousin pass away with in three days of each other.  It was interesting how the timing of it all was so close to Easter.  These events, though sad, were a good reminder of the hope that we have in the resurrection.

 Easter Eggs

This is AWESOME!

January-February in the Jackson Home

 

 The Jacksons and my family come to visit us for Tanner's baby blessing.  I also had a family birthday party for me.  I'm getting OLD!

 Stacy, Jeff and Ella and Jack spent a Saturday with us.  We went to the train museum in Sacramento and went on a bike ride. 

 Tanner with Grammy's quilt. 

 Grammy made these hats for the boys

 Corbett and Marshall went skiing on Valentines Day.  Just enough snow for them in Tahoe. 

Reality... for a couple of months I slept in this recliner. I would get up in the night with Tanner and be so tired that one feeding ran into another. Now at 3 and 1/2 months Tanner is sleeping 8 hours and I'm a happy rested mom!

December

 Grammy Jackson came in December to help me with my kids.  It was nice to have some help about a month after Tanner was as I transitioned to three boys. 

 Marshall and Clay love doing yard work with Dad!

 We had a relaxing Christmas...but Corbett was sick.  luckily the rest of us stayed healthy.
