Projects!

Since Jackson has started back to school, he is really into doing different projects. One of Jackson's new favorite shows is Max and Ruby. On one of the episodes, Ruby has to make a leaf book for school. After watching it, we decided to head to the mountain to collect some leaves of our own! Jackson had so much fun finding different shapes and colors!! Jackson also loves the episode where Ruby makes a gingerbread house. Since the leaf project was such a successs, I think we are going to attempt that this Christmas! This past weekend we also headed to Tanglewood Farms. It is a large petting zoo filled with baby animals set in a Wild Wild West theme. It was really cute and Jackson loved feeding all the animals! Unfortunately, as soon as we got there, the camera battery died, so I have zero pictures from that adventure :( This first pictureis Jackson as we are getting ready to go on our leaf adventure!

We certainly could not go on this adventure without some of our friends :)











We also found a few wildflowers along the way. Last weekend Daddy had found some dandelions and showed Jackson how to blow them to make the seeds fly. Since then, every flower we come across, Jackson tries to blow it into the air.







I found a yellow leaf!







See how big it is mommy!









Is this a good one?










Cheese!!







Jackson loves to paint! Here he is painting some Thomas the Train pictures. When he finishes, he always says "See how beautiful this one is mommy?"







I had to get a picture of Jackson and Daddy during our bedtime routine. They love reading books together!






So sorry about the camera mishap! I will make sure it is fully charged before our next adventure!!

Just when you think his smile can't get any cuter, IT DOES!!!!! I can't wait until he teaches his little brother how to 'adventure'!!

Loved the leaves. Tell Jackson Noni said he is already quite the scientist and adventurer. That smile could change the color of the leaves without fall. We will be thinking of you as you all participate in the run this weekend and how blessed we are as a family.
