Winter Fun

We roasted hot dogs the other night in the fire place. Jackson had a lot of fun...and so did Daddy! The boys are getting so big. Where does the time go?

Christmas Fun

We have been enjoying the Christmas season with all its parties and food. Thanksgiving weekend we went and cut down our tree at our favorite tree farm in Seabeck. We go every year with Brandon's parents and our friends the Jahn's. Then we brought it home and decorated it. It stands nine feet tall. It looks a little taller in the picture because we have cement blocks under it. We can't seem to ever find an eleven foot tree. We decorated the house that same day. The next day, I decorated the tree by myself because the joy of Christmas had temporarily left Brandon. Jackson is loving all the lights and sounds of Christmas. It has taken three years to get to this point. He is a little scared of Santa, but loves the candy canes. We can't wait to spend some quality time with family and friends over the Christmas season!

Pumpkin Patch

Last Friday we went to the pumpkin patch with our friends the Sages. The weather was beautiful and Jackson loved the hay maze. We spent a lot of time going down a slide made out of a large pipe. The pumpkin patch is called Hunter Fields Farm and is located outside of Belfair. This is our favorite pumpkin patch. We also got to ride in a carriage pulled by a tractor. Every year it gets more fun watching Jackson run around picking out the perfect pumpkin and jumping into every mud puddle he can find. We can't wait to see what next year will bring!

The Hunting Man

Brandon decided it was finally time to take the plunge and go deer hunting. He went with Gordon (Elizabeth's mom's husband) and 2 other friends. They didn't get anything but had fun seeing the beautiful countryside.

Brotherly Love

Jackson is very proud of his baby brother Preston! The first thing Jackson does in the morning is ask what Preston is doing. He is getting better at not yelling in his face when he talks to him.

Ocean Shores

Here are a few pictures from our recent trip to Ocean Shores. We celebrated Jackson's 3rd birthday with Brandon's parents. The weather was perfect. We had a wonderful time.
