Uncle FFEJ is home!

Welcome Home Elder Owen

 

Jeff is home after serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  He served for 2 years in Samara, Russia

 

 

 

 

 

Some Family Photos!

I have wanted to get family pictures done for months and I don't know what it is...the clothes, the weather, the location, the husband?  It all is a headache!  Actually, Ryan was extra good! Not a single complaint :) It took some time and planning to get everything pulled together, but it sure was worth it.  Here are my favorites!

 

 

This boy and this dog!!

 

Such an excited face!  I love chasing after that:)

 

 

 

These two boys are my world!  They are what truly makes me happy!

Happiness is...

MY BOYS!

 

This has got to be one of my new favorite pictures of these three!  Jackson doesn't leave Ryan's side when he is home.  He wants to be just like his dad when he grows up :)  Like father, like son!

 

 

 

Jackson likes to take Piper on walks!  He will hold the leash the entire time.  He LOVES his dog!

 

We just might have a baseball player on our hands!  He was practicing with his big boy cousins.

 
 

Our after-bath routine! Into dads sink to brush teeth and to clean out those ears!

A little Birthday Getaway!

Where to? Broken Bow of course! What did we do you ask?

 

Down town Shopping

 Wandered Wal-Mart

Oil Pulling (SICK!)

Watched Catching Fire

Ate at Papa Pablanos and Romas

Pedicures and manicures

talked, talked and talked some more!

 

 

It was so great to get away for just a couple of days.  I am super lucky to have such wonderful friends.  Fingers crossed we can do it again soon!

 

Car ride shenanigans

 

Just a little shopping "down-town"!!

Jackson's First "Real" Haircut

This boy was not happy when it was his turn to climb into the chair!  He was not impressed with the cape, the scissors and the buzzers really got him wailing!  However, the sucker seemed to make it all ok! It was time he got a big boy hair-do!

 

 

 

 

 

And it was worth it!  This big boy of mine is just too handsome for words! Especially when his hairs are combed just right :)

We went to Utah in February

We love our trips to Utah! We were thrilled to join grandma and grandpa Dunstan for Grandparent day!  Alec is one of the bunch!

 

 

 

Alec and Abbie before their Valentines Date Night

 

 

Grandma Dunstan worked hard getting everything ready for the day and it could not have been more fun.  It was Jackson's first of many to come!  We love you Grandma!

 

I love this kid!

 

Some focus trying to make this spinning, light-up Mickey toy work! 

 

Spent a day on the slopes with these three!  Alec is the pro :)

 

 

 

These two dudes are buddies!

 

We had such a great time and are looking forward to our next visit!

A little bit of January!

Its the end of the month!  Can't believe how fast time flies.  Here are a few pictures of this months adventures!  Most exciting...Jackson walks (and now runs!)

 

 Sprinkles Ice Cream!  We maybe visited this place a few times this month.  He clearly loves it!!

 

 When dad is home, Jack is by his side!!

 

 

 Jacksons steps caught on tape!  He was so proud of himself.  It is amazing how quickly he picked it up...he is running circles around me.  It is so much fun seeing him grow!

 

 

 Playing me a goodnight song.

 

 

Pipers face says it all.  Jackson sure loves his dog, but she is not always so fond of him!  She is such a great dog and we love to see the two interact!  Jackson runs around patting his leg and calling Piper.  Watch the video below to see him say pipers name.  Its too cute!

 

This boys smile is the best!  He is my happy boy and I can't get enough!
