Jackson's first trip to the Dentist


It was finally time to take Jackson to the dentist. We took him to the dentist that Mike goes to because they will take children. My dentist actually refers children under five to another establishment. As you can see Jackson wasn't too happy. Only one adult was allowed in the room so Mike took him and negotiated with Jackson. If he stopped crying and allowed the dentist to look in his mouth he would let him get a treat at Malama Market. Malama Market is right next to the dentist office. Jackson approved and allowed the dentist to count his teeth and check the spacing, etc. All is good with Jackson's teeth and he has his next appointment in June. After the dentist, Jackson and Mike went to Malama Market and got a Slushee and an orange :)

Happy Thanksgiving 2010


The Turkey after 40 minutes of cooking, definitely faster than the oven.



The past couple of years we have been celebrating Thanksgiving at Jason Duncan and Ching's house. The guys fry a turkey in the garage and it is so delicious! This year we had to cut our festivities a little short because Jackson had a bug, he woke up not himself so Jackson and I drove separately and then after we ate he had a fever so we came home and rested. We still had a nice time with friends and definitely got to stuff our bellies.

A trip to the park

I just love Jackson in a hat :)



Two weeks before Thanksgiving, Monica and I decided to take the kids to a park and then go to Costco. I suggested we go to my school because it is right behind Costco and they have a smaller park and it is pretty much desolate. The kids had a great time!

A little swimming with Brooke





I asked Monica if I could watch Brooke and Makenzie on Veteran's Day and in return if she would watch Jackson on our Furlough Friday in December. She agreed and we had a great time. Makenzie is such a chill baby and never really cries unless she wants a new scenery or to be fed or a minute before she falls asleep. I was in heaven, Jackson never was a chill baby. With such an easy baby and a playmate to play with, Brooke and Jackson were able to entertain themselves. I realized I only took photos of their adventure in the pool with the slide, however we did make some yummy banana bread too. It wasn't too bad since I doubled the recipe and each toddler could put in each ingredient :)
