This actually ended up being a good thing since the cheese dip was made from melted Velveeta, which tends to be salty.

Despite the cold, north wind, the boys (including Uncle Billy) had a blast! Reece wasn't too sure about his ride on the sled - he wound up with his feet in the air, but he didn't let go of his sled! He did, however, decide he'd much rather ride on the 4-wheeler with Uncle Billy rather than behind it. Garrett, on the other hand, couldn't get enough! He flew around corners & whizzed by us, doing loops around the property like a pro! </div>

It is also the first day Garrett got to go on a hunt with his Dad. This opener is one that the Jackson men look forward to every year. The day starts extremely early in the morning, winds down a bit mid-morning, and then picks up again from late afternoon til dusk. <div><br></div><div>Following is a picture of the Jacksons who participated this year. <br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9IYD6RdTaPLasGYWciASzZn69ffF2Nz68jXDoD9FL7ifYDuFEGa-GYX5fdOCbD6VLZkCaefDatr5oBWEGkXvWRv7Aeg1zs2smMzDquFs9eREZ6dUNTZYJ35SUWAF9d01tXn13DmoVAMo/s640/blogger-image--353546311.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9IYD6RdTaPLasGYWciASzZn69ffF2Nz68jXDoD9FL7ifYDuFEGa-GYX5fdOCbD6VLZkCaefDatr5oBWEGkXvWRv7Aeg1zs2smMzDquFs9eREZ6dUNTZYJ35SUWAF9d01tXn13DmoVAMo/s640/blogger-image--353546311.jpg"></a></div>Garrett got to join his dad after the noon meal. However, he was up almost as early as Steve in anticipation of the day ahead! They traveled to a field around Cassoday and had some down time before the birds made their grand appearance, so Garrett did a little sightseeing. (His toy gun looks very similar to the one his dad uses. Steve has used it as a tool to start teaching gun safety.)<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV1qnrsbgc717Kw1cUsBfgU7Zj5owKYkAME_ssOx0WAJRhw1fS5Q615q5uYbytNYNi_SgoVZMHL62S07kZ45a9WUTJBsFq-YjgCt8VQZfTVCokRXSzKvyc3MUT0NfhoeNy7w7R_eLV6YU/s640/blogger-image--1335285189.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV1qnrsbgc717Kw1cUsBfgU7Zj5owKYkAME_ssOx0WAJRhw1fS5Q615q5uYbytNYNi_SgoVZMHL62S07kZ45a9WUTJBsFq-YjgCt8VQZfTVCokRXSzKvyc3MUT0NfhoeNy7w7R_eLV6YU/s640/blogger-image--1335285189.jpg"></a></div>A few hours later...looks like the elusive Prairie Chicken was caught off-guard this year! <br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm0odZpOT2wmnjutSWRuG5rossyfgiZ5blxOT7DteIDMvFrr9pmtDJlV29-Mj4eNdhWs6ILxYdxAWYuAzFxW_y8EITqAq4jwgOaiSHE52UIU_LZmtAsA86KeHd4j_78GCus13WEgOe1Ds/s640/blogger-image--456541619.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm0odZpOT2wmnjutSWRuG5rossyfgiZ5blxOT7DteIDMvFrr9pmtDJlV29-Mj4eNdhWs6ILxYdxAWYuAzFxW_y8EITqAq4jwgOaiSHE52UIU_LZmtAsA86KeHd4j_78GCus13WEgOe1Ds/s640/blogger-image--456541619.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Once Garrett returned home he headed straight to the sofa and laid down.

They aren't just any leaves, they are large, beautiful, crisp leaves that fall from our huge Cottonwood Tree in the back yard. They are the perfect kind of leaves for piling up and running/jumping through!<br />

Garrett is not seen in this pic because he high-tailed it outta there when the ducks started getting too close!

He was not quite as speedy this time, but his actions reminded me of that comical moment in time.)</td></tr>

When we first moved in, the garden was completely over-run and full of weeds. With the help of family nearby, we cleared out the weeds and now have a large, open area that I envision being a beautiful, colorful welcome to our home. Until that day, we have found that it is the perfect spot to drive tractors, dig holes, and have some good, old-fashioned fun in the dirt!<br />

Okay. As you can see below I did make an attempt at putting some life into my garden. Unfortunately, the mums that I planted were a bit weak, and not very tolerant of their location.<br />

I welcome any suggestions or ideas for my future garden. The stump is actually a slab of tree and can be removed. The bush is WAY too big for the space, so it will be moved as well. (I believe it is a Clematis bush - but I'm not certain. It has berry-like growth that appear like they want to bloom, but haven't really. Just a few tiny, white flowers here & there.)</div>

<br />
We started out our Independence Day celebration a day early, on July 4th eve. The boys were excited to run around Grandma Jackson's yard with Sparklers (aka Sprinklers according to Garrtt) in hand!<br />

Reece was a bit timid at first, but it didn't take him long to get the hang of it. He kept wanting to put his hand close to the sparkler-end of the stick! Daddy quickly redirected him!<br />

On the morning of July 4th, we met Uncle Billy at his camper at the lake and walked to the Bicycle Parade starting line! Reece enjoyed getting a lift along the way. Take a look at the beautiful sky behind them. It was a fabulous day for a parade!<br />

When we arrived at the parade start, we came upon an El Dorado Fire Truck! That definitely made the boys' day. The fire fighters were awesome and let the boys climb all over the truck before - and after - the parade.<br />

Reece is still too small to ride a bike along with the big kids...but he didn't seem to mind. He enjoyed waving his patriotic pinwheel as the motorcyles, bicycles, and the fire truck went by.<br />

Cousin Makenzie is pedaling behind in the purple shirt. Both cousins did a great job of watching after Garrett as they made their way along the route.<br />

All of the kids had a great ride. Garrett made it around 1 entire loop! (The cousins rode 5 miles around a few more loops). It was Garrett's first parade, and he was very proud of himself!<br />
After the parade, the kids headed back to the fire truck while most of the adults enjoyed free watermelon provided by the Friends of the El Dorado Lake.<br />

After LONG afternoon naps, we headed back out to Uncle Darren's Farm for great food, family, friends, and fun! The boys thought the chickens were fun to watch. Considering that our new home has a chicken coop...I wonder how long it will take before we are raising chickens of our own???<br />

Garrett also enjoyed playing with the baby kitties! He named this one "Green", and it was hard for us to not bring little Green home with us. I'm sure we also have kittens in our future...<br />

Somewhat by chance, we discovered this home in the country, on 5 acres, just inside the school district boundary where we want the boys to go to school! The family we are buying the home from has taken us in as a part of their family, and have helped us out in every way possible so that our boys will be raised in their cherished family home - where they raised 5 children! They hold many memories of this home and have a sentimental attachment to it. Listening to them tell stories about raising their family here makes me feel so excited and blessed to be able to do the same for our sons.<br />

The house was most recently a rental, and the tenants did not touch any of the many flower gardens located around the property. So we will have a lot of weeding and trimming in our future. I love that there are random old, rusted feed bins around the property filled with plantings. With a little love, and the help of an aunt with a green thumb, I think we'll get it looking good again!<br />

Side view. I'm not sure if the black geese above the garage door will remain on the front of the home. I'm almost afraid of removing them. I'm guessing they have left their silhouette on the siding over the years. Just inside the garage screen door, there is a breezeway between the house & garage. It has wood plank flooring that is so neat. You'll have to imagine it - I forgot to take a pic.<br />

Garage/shed to the west of the house. There are 4 kennels on the back side of this building, with dog boxes built into the inside of the building. Plenty of running space for Belle & Kersee! I didn't get a good pic of it, but there is also a chicken house on the left side of this picture, next to the building. All of the runs & the chicken house are overgrown. I can see us borrowing a goat or 2 from bro-in-law Darren to help clear it all out!<br />

Inside the house!<br />
The sunflower kitchen! I'm not a fan of sunflowers. At all. But I can live with this for a while until I figure out what I want to do with it. The kitchen is bright and open. Just off the kitchen is the laundry area and a HUGE pantry! There is also an area I'll use for a desk/computer area to the front-right.<br />

Our bedroom. Love the cedar-lined closet w/built-ins at each end! Just needs doors - which we have. One of my first projects will be these walls. Away with the wallpaper!!! There is also another small bedroom across the hall. We will use it as a toy room as long as the boys still want to room together.<br />

Above is another view from the west side of the property. The kennels are
somewhere behind the overgrown jungle on the back side of the garage.<br />
I didn't take any pictures of the basement. It needs some work. It's mostly concrete floors and is drab. There are 2 rooms that cannot technically be called bedrooms - but will be perfect storage & hobby rooms. There is also a large great room and bathroom with shower. There is a stairwell on each end of the basement - one from the living room, and the other just inside the breezeway, that leads to the kitchen. The bathroom is located just at the bottom of the stairs on the kitchen side - which will be a perfect mud area for the men of the family after hunting. There is also a corn/pellet furnace in the basement that will be awesome in the winter!<br />
<br />
So many wonderful things to mention...and much cleaning, moving, arranging, and re-arranging in our future. We look forward to sharing our "Forever Home"with all of our friends and family over the years to come!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04632592918518533172noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154009665374493751.post-55557180211854371292013-06-26T16:19:00.001-07:002013-06-26T16:19:57.267-07:00Watching TVWho needs furniture?

Reece is definitely entering the "Terrible Twos!" He is defiant, stubborn, ornery, independent...and totally love-able!<br />
This morning he found a sheet of Cars stickers. He thought they looked good on his legs!<br />

I heard a loud, crashing sound, and then I heard little feet running across the room...and then I found Reece and his vacuum "hiding" in this Thirty-One storage tote. Hmmm...his face tells me something just went down!<br />

So we all set out on a neighborhood tour. The last time he tried to ride he was frustrated & didn't want our help. This time he took off right away!<br />

Garrett made it all the way to the high school (2 blocks), around the hs lot, and about 1/3 of the way home. At that point he hopped in the stroller with his brother!<br />
