Jackson's 3rd Birthday

13 November 2016

We got to celebrate TWO special events, today...

The blessing of Alexander...and the celebration...of 

Jackson's 3rd Birthday! 

This post is about Jackson's day of celebration! Next post

will be the remaining pictures of Alexander's blessing day! 

Jackson was SO EXCITED! LOVED his CAKE! 

and LOVED his new birthday toy...smile 

 Sarah did an awesome job...on his birthday cake!

 Jackson didn't realize he had to move

up closer...to blow out his "3" candles...

smile

 His expression says it all...

he is impressed with his new gun...smile

 I love the looks on Claira and Lillie's faces...

Jackson enjoyed shooting everyone...

especially his Uncle Hyrum!

A Day at Papa and Granny's House

This week...was a day at Papa and Granny's house...

Thursday, we had the "3" youngest children

of Jared/Angel family - while they went

to the temple...

I am sorry I didn't get pictures of that day...

SATURDAY - 15 October 2016

Sarah and Luke needed to go to the temple...a member

of their Ward was receiving her endowment

prior to going on a mission...

So, we had the Heiner grandchildren for a few hours...

This summer, Garvin added a "swing" to the backyard...

The kids LOVE IT! 

 In order to go HIGHER...there is an "extended" 

piece of rope...usually an adult pulls to

lift the individual so they can swing HIGHER!

 Savannah went FIRST...

 In the meantime...Joseph, Claira, and Jackson

entertained themselves on the hay bales...

Jacob's turn!

 LOVED the look on Alayna's face...

 Jacob adding "drama"...as an older brother would do...

smile

Claira's turn!

 I LOVE seeing them laugh and smile...

 Nothing like a dirt pile to run down on!

Go Jacob!

 There is something about taking a hatchet...

and chopping it into wood...

Joseph loved doing that!

Jackson...just seemed fascinated by the 

wood pile...

 Jackson trying to chop wood!

smile

It turned out to be a lovely FALL afternoon!

Day Family Campout

Jared and Angel had to replace one of their

vehicles...and was able to get from a private owner

a "15" passenger van...

With that blessing...they decided to go camping this 

weekend!  The campground just happens to be

only about 10 minutes from our home...

"Twin Bridges" Campground

They called us and asked if we would like to come 

by and spend some time with them!

BEAUTIFUL evening! Got down in the 40's while

we were there...but, simply BEAUTIFUL...

And of course...I just happened to have

my camera...smile

 Getting ready "foil" dinners

 Beautiful AUTUMN Evening!

 More prep on those awesome

"foil" dinners! smile

 Happy Daisy!

 Dad's old "screen"...still working out!

 Ethen in the van...taking a little nap...

 Lillie and Nathan...enjoying those dinners!

 Ivy LOVING camping out!

Papa and Daisy

 Cheeto treats...

 Yea...nothing like camping, huh, Jared?

 Something's burning...smile

 Sun was going down...highlighting

the gorgeous trees! 

Going South! smile

 Without even looking...I just KNEW

what Garvin was doing! smile

 Jared showing Nathan how to use a knife...

and whittle away!

 The many faces of Daisy...

Her "ticked" face!
