Decorating the tree with Nana and Skylar

 Skylar and Jackson decorating the tree. 

Skylar is Jackson's cousin, my brother's little girl who is 20 months old. 

 This year Jackson enjoyed putting ten christmas balls in one spot all over the tree.  He wanted to make sure there were plenty of ornaments!

 Skylar my niece trying to find the perfect spot for her ornament. 

 Nana handing out the ornaments. 

The finished product with some adult help of course :)

Picking out the Christmas Tree!

 Jackson picked this lovely tree for Nana's house this year!

 Jackson loved it so much running all around the Christmas Farm. Any size tree only $20!  It was more work to get this little Hawaii boy into a winter coat!

Jackson's visit with Santa at Barbers Point Elementary

Jackson has made it to the stage where he will sit on Santa and not scream.  My school had a Christmas fair and Jackson loved it.  His favorite thing was to jump in the bouncy house. 

Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend.  Ate plenty of turkey and ham and all the fixins and then did some Black Friday shopping and then hiked Makapuu Lighthouse.

Halloween 2011

This year Jackson was supposed to be Thomas the Train but decided at the last minute he did not want to wear that costume!!! I was able to whip up this cute costume in 5 minutes. It is the Melissa and Doug dress up gear I found at a tag sale a long time ago. Thank goodness, I didn't ship it yet :)

Choo Choo All Aboard!!!

We wish you could have been here daddy!!! We miss you tons!

Round 2 Corn Picking

On the hayride to get to the cornfields.

He was so excited to be running through all the corn!

We found some ears of corn!

Getting Ready for Halloween! Round 1 Pumpkin Picking

We have been anxiously awaiting for Halloween to get here because that means we are closer to seeing daddy!!! Jackson and I did our annual pumpkin patch picking at Aloun Farms and had a blast. We ended up going back for round two to pick corn.

Choo, Choo, Choo, Choo Train

On Sunday we went to the train in Ewa Beach. Jackson has been asking me everyday for a month if we can go on the choo choo train. So we finally went and now he wants to go again. The bummer is the train only goes on Sundays.

Jackson giving the shaka!

Hang Loose

Waiting patiently for the train to start, he was so excited and lasted for the entire 90 minutes. He fell asleep the last 10 minutes.

Yeah! I rode the train!

Happy Birthday Makaela!

Monica made these really cute collages that I borrowed to show you how much fun we had celebrating Makaela!

Jackson loved making a crown full of jewels.

The beautiful castle cake.

Bouncy House Fun!

Happy First Birthday Dylan

Checking out Jackson's classroom

Jackson in action showing me all things he plays with in school.

He didn't want his picture taken. He has been doing this a lot lately. When he doesn't want his picture taken he will turn his back.
