Happy Dirt Day

Today was Shanna's 2nd birthday. She calls birthdays "dirt days". We took her to Lil Biggs for some toddler fun. We love you lots Shanna. Happy Dirt Day!

Special visits

Today we had lunch with Grandma Jackson, who Shanna gets her middle name Belle from, and Uncle Gerry and Aunt Carole. Grandma made her yummy spaghetti. We then had dinner back with Grammie and Pop and the Hay family. Pop made meatloaf (Shawn's favorite) and spicy mac-n-cheese, the kids loved it. There are several pictures of Pop pulling the kids toes, which has been a long standing tradition with all of the kids. (Jenna loves having her toes pulled.)

Jesse's 12th Birthday at Disneyland

We were able to visit Disneyland for Jesse's birthday thanks to Grammie and Pop's generous gift. We spent over 12 hours there and stayed for the fireworks. Special thanks to the Hays, the Rowleys and Michelle for gift cards/cash for the kids to buy their hats, and souveniers. Auntie M was even able to join us for the day. The kids loved spending time with Michelle.

California Vacation - July 3

Visit to Grammie and Pop's and a visit to their cabin. Pop planted a tree for Shanna. Jesse and Jenna got their pictures taken with their trees too. Lots of fun feeding the birds off of the cabin deck.
