Lazy Sunday...

Only on my second outfit, better pick up the pace!

Off to Evie's 4 month!

Update- Evie is doing well! She was 24 1/2 inches and 13 pounds 11ounces. She is 50% for all her stats. Nat also did her flu mist and made sure Evie was brave for her shots.

Bath time!

It's a fall, blustery day! Time to curl up in my pj's!

Natalie Marlowe & A Trip to The Farm

Saturday was my first ever preschool field trip. It was a family trip to Country Lane Tree Farm. Mom even rearranged her work schedule so she could go.

 

 

Rumors were that we might run into a bit of mud. They proved to be true. Thank goodness for my new PURPLE boots. As I tell my parents, I love purple and pink.

 

 

Right as you go in, there's tons of goats waiting to be fed. I must have fed them half of a loaf of bread. And every time I gave them another piece of bread, I giggled and laughed like it was the most fun thing I have ever done.

 

 

Mom was in charge of hauling Evie around. Evie did not feed any of the animals. 

 

 

Here I am petting my buddy, Poppy the Teacup Pig.

 

 

Poppy impression!

 

 

Petting a pony. 

 

 

Pony impression!

 

 

Thumbs-up if you like to ride the barrel train.

 

 

Dad helped me pick a pumpkin out on our hay ride.

 

 

I can't lie. Evie's eyes do not scream "having a great time at the farm!"

 

 

This was Timmy the pig. He was a bit of a "ham!"

 

 

I also fed deer...

 

 

...and milked a cow.

 

 

 

I just asked Dad today when I can return to the farm. I can't wait to go back again!

Oh thumb!

Auntie loves me...

Big eyes...

Just love this picture!!

TGIF!

We made it through another busy work week! Looking forward to the whole family hanging out...

Three month photo...

Here is Evie all grins at three months old! And today was picture day for Nat at preschool...

Ann Arbor, Detroit Zoo, Swimming, and School!

As always we are staying busy!  Here's a recap.....

 A cool and weird backyard sunset, Fall is coming!

 The day before Mom and Evie flew to Seattle we took a family trip up to Ann Arbor.  There was lots to see at the Natural History Museum that is at the University of Michigan.

 Here Nat is with Dad in front of a sabertooth!

 This was Natalie's favorite skeleton.

 They actually let you get in a canoe!

 We snuck down to Pinball Pete's.  Natalie tried her hand at air hockey -  her and Mom beat Dad!

 Not only did we eat pizza on the lawn, we split some cookies too!

 After refueling, we took a walk down to the Art Museum.

 A very happy Evie was along for the ride.

On our way back to the car Natalie wanted one more look at the dinosaurs!

 Natalie is also moving on up to a bigger bike.  Here she is with her training wheels.  Hopefully she can keep up with the other girls in the bike gang now!

 Getting ready for a 4-D Dora adventure movie at the Detroit Zoo. The glasses would be off half way through because I really didn't like the Robot Butterfly that buzzed in my face.

 Detroit Zoo's "Hugging Bears" fountain.

 Carousel Ride #1 - The dinosaur with his tiny little arms.

 The awesome train that goes from one end of the [very big] Detroit Zoo to the other. We rode it both ways.

Carousel Ride #2 - Praying Mantis.

 Just before my first ever Tadpoles Swim Lesson.

 Swimming with Mr. Fred on the ponoodle.

 Evie relaxing in her new outfit.

Natalie after a war wound to her knee.  Cried it out and fell asleep on the couch.

 Evie felt bad for her big sister but it didn't seem to bring her spirits down!

 Today was the first day of 3 year old preschool at St. Joe's.  Natalie is looking forward to school every Tuesday and Thursday morning.

 Here Nat is with Evie and her bag that she stamped her name on at preschool orientation.

The big drop off - Natalie was very excited to see her teachers and meet some new friends!!  Just another busy week with the Jacksons :)

Say What?!

Whatever you say, Nat.

Hit You With the Photos!

Okay, I am due to leave up to Detroit to fly out to Seattle in an hour....so I wanted to get a big batch of pics up before the trip!  Evie and Mom are going while Nat and Dad are holding down the fort in Toledo...  But here are some of the happenings this past month!

 Natalie was very excited for her dance recital...

 There were five girls in the class, ranging three to five.

 The theme was fairy princesses :)  Swim lessons (she will be a tadpole) start this week!

 Smiling with Mom, but she doesn't know it!

 Hanging at the pizza challenge....very loud but the girls liked dancing and the balloon animals.

Bouncy time, some of the best time of the day!

 Also seem to like my bath time.....

 Looking very sour.  Seem to do that when I am really dressed up.  That or throw up on it.

 Comfy sleeping time, was supposed to be belly time.

Fairy wings!

 Always sleep arms up.  Swaddling is not for me!

 Big Sister loves holding little Evie!

 She may also have her Mom's sweet tooth :)

 The circus was in town.  Nat and Dad went to see them raise the tent with the elephants.

Always setting new world records in tower building.

 Mom bakes and Dad cooks....Natalie likes to help with both!

 Arts and crafts....

And hanging out in their PJs......hope you are all having a great summer!  I am sure there will be pictures from the trip out to WA to share soon!!!
