Stuff


There are a lot of differences in these 2 pics that are one year apart. My long hair, Presley's no hair and super chubbiness. But there is one constant that is at almost EVERY Eager Parade- Jackson and his grumpiness. For someone reason each year something sets him off, and he proceeds to pout the rest of the morning. Not participating in any of the candy getting fun of every parade. I really hope next year I will be telling a different tell.

Getting ready to make a dash for some candy!
Jackson still pouting


After she got a few things she decided she just wanted to start in on the bag
I know this looks pretty dangerous but trust me she was safe!


for the 4th weekend my family headed up to our cabin in Show low to make a whole weekend out of it. We went to Eager for the 4th. Great fun, and even better food!
Then we watched the fireworks in Showlow- Steve found us an awesome place to watch but we all seemed to think it lasted way too long. It was only 45 min. but we were all done at 30min.
We played games, ate food and enjoyed the company. Till next year.......

The new highlight of the cabin is the little swings on the porch ( which are actually foot rests for a larger swing.) The only problem was there are only 2 and everyone wanted to swing. I even gave it a whirl and man was it fun.



Fathers Day



Jackson got home late that night from a trip. As soon as he got home he couldn't wait to give dad all his presents. He even put in a dollar of his own money. He knows his dad pretty well. J also brought home some crawdads he caught at the cabin- I think that was dad's fav. present they gobbled them right up.

catch up!

If i wasn't using this blog to help me make their remembrance books I think i would give up all together. But since I am also way behind on their books I better get started before I forget everything.


There is nothing like finding your kids getting along so well. It sure makes my heart melt.


My oldest has finally lost his first tooth at age 6 1/2.
He was so excited. Grandma Cheryl had given all Posse a Tooth Fairy Book. It has all sort of neats things in it, stories, myths, facts, a tooth pillow, stationery for the tooth fairy and a chart.

Jackson woke up early to check his pillow and found 2 Quarters! What a lucky kid!
( even though he was expecting a dollar)
Guess he will have to loose another tooth.


Swim lessons

During swim lessons last year Hudson did so well. He never once cried and he always got right in and listened.
This time we had semi-private lessons ( from my from Katie) so I thought he would be great. The first 2 days he pretty much fought it the entire time and was scared to do everything. But by the end he was swimming great! He has continued to improve and now loves the pool and his teacher!
Pres on the other hand was a hot mess! She screamed for 2 wks straight and hated the pool the whole 2 weeks.



the second to last day during Hudson's lesson she monkey walked around the pool for a straight half hour. The next day we noticed blisters on her hands and feet- it was the saddest thing ever.

The day after her last lesson she started loving the pool again and goes around in her noodle everywhere.

After school let out we planned a trip to the Arizona Grand- and invited a long some family.
The kids had a blast, we didn't see Jackson the whole time, he was hanging out at the slides and hot tub! of course
Pres, Hud and I mostly hung out at the baby pool with the Le Barons, Suzy & Lance and Colin & Heather.
and of course some celebrities Grant Hill and Jason Richardson!




Kindergarten program-
Jackson and Ellie were in the back and were so funny! after every song the would look at eachother, throw their heads back and laugh.
Jackson also had a speaking part and did so GREAT!


j and his teacher Mrs. Skabelund

Grandma Cheryl and the rest of the Posse in Kindergarten

When he got home from his last day of school I had an end of the year present waiting for him that he Loved!
( this is him cheering for the water balloons)


Pres and I took a night out when the boys went to Father and Sons.
It was so much fun hanging out with her.
