Jackson's first day of Preschool age 4

 Typical Jackson who won't let me take a picture... Good shot of his backpack!  Thanks cousin Skylar for the Spiderman backpack!

 Jackson was up before I was and ready to start his day!  He totally picked out this tie and said he needed to wear a tie to school because Daddy wears a tie to school everyday!

 2 weeks later we found out that Jackson was accepted to the feeder preschool of our elementary school. So we took him out of the christian based school and now he attends TECEC. It is a wonderful school with lots of perks.  There is a mobile Ipad lab that kids can use. His teacher is Mr. Todd and he loves him.  Only 10 kids in his class and 3 or 4 adults. Jackson loves P.T. because they have an actual gym with a climbing wall for the kids. The best part is drop off because I don't have to get out of the van with the twins.  You pull right up to the bus circle and a staff member loads and unloads Jackson!  

 Jackson's attempt at writing his name. Usually it is in a mumble jumble.  All the letters there but in no particular order.  We were thrilled when this came home with his name in a straight line at least. 

Lookout it is a baking frenzy!

 Jackson made cookies for daddy when he got home from work!  It was Mike's first week back to school!

When we went to Pennsylvania, my dad has a couple of apple trees on his land. He gave us a quite a few dozen so we began to make homemade apple pie!

 Yummy homemade applesauce.

3 months old

 Trying out some fancy hair accessories on Emilie.

 The twins are 3 months old here and weighed in at almost 10 pounds. Andrew is definitely catching up on Emilie but not in height. 

Backyard BBQ in Waynesboro

My mom had a BBQ so family could meet the twins.

Nana has a pumpkin patch!

My mom lives in the middle of farm country and this year, the farmers planted pumpkins in the area behind her backyard. Skylar and Jackson loved checking out the green growing pumpkins.  They can't wait to pick them!

 We found one!

 Racing back to tell everyone they found a pumpkin!

Hanging out with Pappy Coover in the pool!

Another great day playing in the pool at Pappy Coover's house!  

Skylar got in on the action too!

Jackson's Day at Dutch Wonderland

Mike and I decided Jackson needed some alone time with Mommy and Daddy.  We took him to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA. My mom watched the twins so we could spoil Jackson all day!  He had a blast and we can't wait till we can go again!

 Hanging out on the Carousel with Mommy and Daddy.

 This was Jackson's favorite ride.  We loved it because it gave him a workout and made him tired!  I think he did this ride maybe 50 times.  

Time for some water play!

Our last ride of the day! Jackson was still going strong at 9pm when the park closed!

Backyard fun at Grandma and Grandpa Staffaroni

 Getting Uncle Adam with the hose.
