Jackson Hour

we often have what i like to think of as the 'jackson hour'.  we just watch him and play and laugh.  this night he was having a blast jumping over the kids. he makes us laugh so much. so grateful he is here.

City Creek

we went the new city creek mall in salt lake city a few weeks ago.  

the coolest part were these fountains and a little 'creek' running through the outdoor mall.

Genevieve is 10!!!

This boy goes so hard all day.  I love seeing him sleep.  

He often falls asleep with a ball, a gun, or a 'hiyahh' (jackson for any stick that works as a sword).
