Tales of Danger...

Here is Danger...

This is an encore presentation of a dangerous fete he performed moments earlier! Daddy missed his first jump, which scared the poo out of Mommy. I don't know if the pic does it justice, but the platform on this playset is pretty tall. The first time he just walked up to the edge and jumped without even hesitating or being provoked. When he hit the ground, he stood up and laughed. So, being the over protective mom that I am (yeah, right!), I encouraged him to show his dad.

Well, we ventured out on our first camping trip of, hopefully, many this year! We went to Alder Lake and stay in the main campground. The kids had a great time! They dug in the sand, played on the playground and went for a swim.

They all slept great, thank goodness! We have our "Vacation Home", a huge tent that sleeps our family of 7 on one half and still has another half to store all our coolers, containers and whatever else finds it's way in.

We... well, they had a great time playing in the water! The kids must not have all their cold detectors developed yet...I was not getting into that freezing cold water. Chris is fine with cold and he didn't even get in! Jackson wasn't too interested in the water. He decided it was much more fun to dig holes, fill them up, then chase everyone with hands full of muck and throw it. The action shot above is him chasing me with two handfulls of mud...he got me, and the camera, good. The price the photographers pay for the good shots, huh? I also had a sequence of Daddy running from him, but we agreed we wouldn't post any pics of us from this camping trip. Maybe, in about 10-15 lbs... :)

Tall Tales of "Danger"

Well, It seems Jackson Danger's amazing life adventures have started at an early age. He has wrestled with snakes before his 3rd birthday even came around...

Last week he had a little scratch on the palm of his hand. So, I asked him..."Where did you get that Bubba?" He said a snake bit him. Then he went on to tell me that he had wrestled the snake. When I asked him where he wrestled the snake, he told me "At school!". (He doesn't go to any school yet). He also told me on Mother's Day that he wrestled the snake again!

Such an exciting "Danger"ous life he leads!

Stay tuned for more exciting tall tales of "Danger"!

Great News!

We now have custody of our niece, Angel and nephew, Travis! They have been such a blessing and welcome addition to our family!

Angel is now 8 years old, as of April 10th. She has a gentle heart, poor thing lives with a bunch of strong willed children. She is starting to hold her own, with a lot of encouragement.

Travis is 4 right now. He is a busy little buddy! It has been great for Jacks to have another little guy in the house.

Chris & I are so blessed with these kids along with our 3 other kids, Maddie (almost 9), Tristan 5, and Jacks (almost 3). God is Good!
