Jackson's real 5th birthday!!!

Last night we celebrated

We got Jackson a fire bellied toad for his birthday. I am branching out of my comfort zone here. I fed the toad 3 live crickets yesterday. I have a box of 21 more live crickets to feed him every 3-4 days. =)

I cannot believe my baby boy is 5!!! Seems impossible. It will break my heart for him to go to kindergarten. Last night for his birthday dinner her requested grilled cheese, so....the whole family had grilled cheese for dinner. Here are some pics of presents and cake.

Jonathan's 32nd birthday!!!

On January 19th we celebrated Jonathan's 32nd birthday. We got a babysitter and went to The Smokey Mountain Brewery for dinner. Then we came home and did cake and presents with the kids. Happy Birthday Jonathan.

Chattanooga

The weekend before New Years my mom and I took the kids to Chattanooga to stay at the Choo-Choo hotel. We also visited the aquarium and IMAX theater where we watched a movie about prehistoric sea monsters. The kids had a blast. Here is Micah and Jackson "petting" a sturgeon.
The penguins were beautiful.

The only picture Emily would get in that night. ( when we got home I found out she had an ear infection)
