Jackson had a memorable 5th birthday at the Bremerton airport. The kids got to sit in an airplane and walk the runway. Then, we enjoyed lunch and cupcakes. The theme was Hot Wheels. In August, Jackson learned how to ride a two wheel bike and for his birthday he got a green Hot Wheels bike. 
What a summer! We had many fun day trips with friends and family. We roasted numerous marshmellows and ate a ton of hot dogs and hamburgers. Some our most cherished times were spent playing outside with the neighbors. Never a dull moment in our cul-de-sac!
What a great spring we have had. The boys have had lots of fun playing with friends and family. We went and saw Nana and Papa in May. They enjoyed lots of cuddle time and pampering. We will be traveling more this summer visiting family and friends. We are hoping to do some camping too.
Preston had a great 2nd birthday. On his actual birthday, Grandma and Grandpa took us to Chucky Cheese. For his party, we had friends and family over to eat doughnuts and play games. His party theme was Barney. One of his presents was a Thomas train set given to him by Nana. 
We had a great time visiting Brandon's parents in Arizona this year during spring break. Jackson was only sick for 24 hours with the flu and then we were all well the rest of the week. We went to the zoo, swam almost everyday, and the boys played mini-golf for the first time. It was very relaxing and the sun was refreshing. It was hard to find any reasons to come back home. 
This Christmas, Jackson was into everything. He loved the lights, music, food, and presents. We spent time at Rodger and Shelly's house and at my mom's in Oroville. We enjoyed our visit to Tacoma for the Zoo lights. It was so busy when we got there that they had to shuttle us to the park in a school bus. On the way back to our car, Jackson had everyone on the bus singing one Christmas song after another. I was so proud of him.
