Good times

We have been bad bloggers. It's taken us over 2 months to get something new on our blog. But here we are actually getting it done, so we are moving in the right direction.

We are having a great time in California. Marshall is growing up fast and has more energy and enthusiasm than we thought was humanly possible. Here is a video of Marshall running around the house as we watch in amazement.



Marshall's room now has a little sign that has his name on it that matches his quilt from Grammy Jackson.


Yes?


Marshall is learning a lot right now including how to use a spoon. He is actually successful...some of the time. Whenever he is successful, he's pretty happy about it. Well, he's pretty happy regardless. We just give him a bath after every meal which is why he doesn't wear any clothes for meal time. We just let him eat and make a royal mess.

Jeff & Stacy's wedding and Marshall's golf swing

I'm not claiming to explain how golf and Jeff & Stacy's wedding go together, but they do for the purposes of this post!

The last of Chrissy's siblings is now married, and Stacy picked a great man to join the family. This picture shows how happy they are together.

Maybe this is just imagery for Jeff and Stacy's future. I count 7 kids guys. It's funny - it doesn't look like the newlyweds are even aware that there is anybody else around.


Marshall, Corbett, and Chrissy before the reception started at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.


Here's Marshall learning to swing a golf club:

Little Hawaii

Here's a video of Marshall singing in his hawaiian outfit after the ward luau. Thanks Grammy for the new hawaiian outfit directly from Hawaii!

The hawaiian boys...
A happy boy!
Stacy & Jeff, what a cute couple, and soon-to-be bride & groom. Less than 2 weeks and it will be official! Congratulations.

Half Moon Bay

Corbett, Marshall and I took a day trip to visit the Records and the soon to be Sotos. We spent part of the day at half moon bay.



Corbett and Marshall had just gotten hit by a wave:)



Cute cousins: Sammy and Marshall


Marshall isn't so sure about the ocean.



Nathan and Sammy, the expert fliers, taught us how to fly a kite. It was so fun!


Jeff and Sammers flying a kite. Jeff is already a good uncle.

In-N-Out-Burger

Marshall has learned how to drink from a straw. In-N-Out Burger made it possible when we purchased a Neapolitan milkshake. He quickly realized how wonderful this treat is. Check out the video:

We also had a bit of sticker fight as you can see in the pictures below.

California here we come!

Cameron drove west with Corbett in the moving truck. They are glad they didn't have to use horse and buggy... and that they didn't have Marshall with them.














We told you all that we moved to California because Corbett got a job... really its because they have In-N-Out here. ha ha ha



















Here is our lovely state capital!



















Look at our little taco.

Graduation

Ketti, Dorson and Cameron came to Minnesota for Graduation. The Jackson men made Ketti and Chrissy Mother's Day breakfast, despite limited resources; our house was packed up ready for our move to California.
We made it through school...
With a happy baby...
As a happy family... daddy graduated! Now he can bring home the bacon.

Graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Master in Healthcare Administration
