I am humbled. I am grateful.

Jackson Rode...
...THIS today!
And the teacups and Alice in Wonderland. He didn't cry or anything! Promise. But he didn't want to do the train again.

Jackson Started School
Jackson started school and I allowed myself a 5 min cry in the car with Sam in the back thinking, "My mom has lost it." Then I turned the car on, wiped my face and cleaned, groceried and what not.
Jackson loves school. Sam loves dropping Jackson off and getting him and will frequently ask "Where's Jackson?" throwing his hands wide as if freeing the question in the air like a bird. We will have to get a crib tent at some point for Sam because he's already figuring out to climb out. He will use tension from his feet on the slats to push off them with his feet while hanging onto the siding. Jackson is really learning so much (he has started quoting whole movie scripts (in order) including, but not limited to: The Incredibles, Ponyo, Monsters Inc, Peter Pan). He's also singing, singing, singing and I love it. His current favorite song is the Incredibles Theme, Ponyo end credit Theme, and "Hey Jackson". It goes something like: Hey Jackson, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind! And I'm sure you get the rest.
Jackson is starting to get the idea that poop in your pants is no fun! Wee!
Jackson is improving so much. He snuck out of bed and ran to shut Colby's and my door so that he could have the run of the house. He's reenacting scenes from Thomas the tank. He's singing! He's jumping and climbing. He's looking at other people and strangers and I'm so happy. It's all thanks to the help of my family and friends and the help of the Lord. I really believe that the combined faith and fast of family and friends for Jackson with the help of a merciful Heavenly Father has led to an ongoing miracle. Jackson started really talking in December and our fast was not even a month before. Thanks to you all and praises to Heavenly Father.

St George pics from another camera
Alright, last post of St. George
What a beautiful temple! We were able to do sealings there with ALL my sisters (and bro-in-laws) and hubsters. It was fantastic - so joyous to be there with everybody and
so proud of all of us living righteous so we were able to go.
A very nice "men only" picture.
What what? Who's that? That's right, it's Bryce! He's resurfaced after days of being incapacitated with a kidney infection. Good thing he was able to get to the clinic.
*TANGENT* So after Bryce got medication, he started acting really funny. Turns out, he was having an adverse reaction and having hallucinations from some of the medication. Don't worry, he's fine now, all better. But (no offense Bryce) it was pretty funny while it lasted (it's okay Bryce you were on drugs and couldn't help it). Here are some of the things Bryce said:
-"Shhh!" to Danielle at the dinner table. She wasn't talking.
-"Where's my wallet? Where's my wallet?"
Jared:"Why do you need your wallet?
Bryce: "Why do I need my what?"
-(while watching a movie) There's a man sitting on my chest! There's a man on my chest!
-"It snowed last night!" (taking mom to the window and seeing the dry ground): "Well, obviously itmelted."
-Driving home, there was no music playing, but Bryce sits upright and says, "Can we stop listening to Christmas music?! This is the longest rendition of 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen' on the accordion I have ever heard!"
Wow Bryce, very specific hallucinations. Impressive.
We love you Bryce and are glad you're ALL BETTER!

We went to the Tuacahn marketplace there too. Some pretty neat stuff, but BOY, was it hot. Meggie with Bubba
Ice cream at Costco.
Dinner at Texas Roadhouse.
Logan just absolutely loving Mark.
Celebrating our three August babies.
Logan playing football with Mark.
A close-to-midnight run to Menchies.
Just two boys sitting in the tree.
Mark tried really hard to include Sam.

There was swimming, playing, eating, toe painting, movie watching,
book reading, sun bathing, and all other kinds of fun.
But alas, it did have to end. On their way back up to the Great North, the fam
stopped off in Provo for lunch. They went to Roll Up Crepes and it was delicious!
Logan and Grandad - each giving each other a "look."
Look at that look on Annelisa's face. That's a candid shot: pure contentment.
Chocolate will do that to you.
It was sad to say goodbye.
Logan actually tried to ditch Meggie and hitch a ride up to Canada, but she caught him just in time.
What a great vacation, family!
Thanks for the fun.
Family, I love you, I love you I do.
Jackson's First Prayer
Jackson's First Prayer touched my heart.
Dear Heavenly Father,(pause) In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Disneyland with the Grandparents
Here's Colby at his new dental school.
Watching pictures at Disney CA Adventure
Sam and Colby on the Dumbo ride
New Disneyland hotel; the headboard lights up and plays "When You Wish"
Finding our room
They had a mini couch and small TV showing classic Mickey, Goofy, Donald cartoons...brilliant.
Jackson was excited!
We had so much fun. Grandma and Grandpa treated us to a weekend at Disneyland Park Hotel. It was fantastic. We rode the monorail into and out of the park, we rode Winnie the Pooh, Star Tours, Buzz Lightyear and Jungle Cruise. There were a few people and it was definitely warm, but we didn't let that stop us!
Poor Chad was such a trooper. His foot was hurting him but he carried on! The show must go on!
Thanks so much Grandma and Grandpa! We loved it!
