art project.

This finger paint is super fun. I found it in the $1 section at Target, and it has been a great summer activity for Jackson.
 
 
 
I think he's watched me paint mine and Kensi's toes a few too many times.
 
The finished picture.

 
We had a little accident over the weekend, Jack face planted on the pavement. As you can tell, his nose hit bottom first!

current temperature: 78 degrees

 

It seems like yesterday...

when I was trying to get Jackson to start crawling.....
 
Well now I have two children on the move.
 
 
 
She's in the early stages and is having fun getting around on all fours!

weekend fun

We had cousins in town for the weekend. Kalli and Ti came to visit Justy and we had lots of fun together.
 
Lots of pool time!
 
Jackson is loving the water and getting very very comfortable (and daring)
 
And our office bbq is always a treat. hamburgers, dogs, steak, ribs, and chicken filled our tummies.
 

 
Tony took Jackson to the new Pixar UP movie while I got a break and went out with the girls to Olive Garden.

the "sunday" bag...

My darling bag comes out of the closet every Sunday full with stuff (distractions for Jackson to help keep him quiet) but for some reason it isnt working too well. Those that attend church with me know quite well that my son doesnt stay put. He wants to be where all the other kids are, or doing what they are doing.
I bring snacks, crayons, books, bottles, finger paints, etc. to hopefully distract him long enough to make it through sacrament. Well, its not working. So please anyone, tell me your great advice on how to keep my child sitting down for longer than 10 minutes. What do you do? What do your kids like?
