This is Jackson's first girlfriend. They adore each other and every day when I pick him up, they have a 5 minute hug session. For Valentine's day he gave her the biggest Valentine card just for her. Puppy Love!!

Our Vacation to Idaho

Before we left for Idaho, Chad got "Guitar Hero" for his birthday. We have had so much fun with this game~

Reagan sang in the church choir before we left, she did so well and looked beautiful.
We let the kids open some gifts before we left.
The big kids got a Nintendo DS lite and Jackson got a Leapster.
