Happiness Is...

... a happy, smiley baby! I haven't uploaded pictures in a while, so here are a bunch. It's hard to take J's picture now because he is always on the move and he moves so fast!! Here he is all happy because we're about to go outside to "play"...



He got this soccer ball for Easter and just rediscovered it. He loves running around the house with it, throwing it, and then chasing after it.



This is a little blurry because he's in mid-run...

Jackson just figured out how fun it is to feed the dogs his Cheerios. As you might imagine, Heidi is his new best friend. She thinks she's died and gone to heaven.


When the dogs come in for the night, they swarm around him to be the first to get Cheerios. Hank always whacks him in the head with his tail on accident. This used to cause major crying, but J is getting tougher. Tonight he didn't even make a peep when he got whacked.


My grandparents let me borrow this grabber tool to save me from having to bend over to pick toys up off of the floor. Jackson loves running around the house with this in his hand, too. It cracks me up.





Here he is refusing to cooperate for a Thanksgiving picture. I'll need Phil's help with this, I guess...


Just some cute shots from a playtime Cheerios break...




And last, but not least, here is a picture of the snow we got a few weeks ago. It was beautiful, but only lasted for about a day. We haven't had any since then. I'm getting antsy! Last year was a crazy snow year for Klamath, so I'm afraid this year we might not have much at all. That's what happened when we lived in Alaska. The three years we were there were the leanest snow years ever, I think. Oh, well. We have 10 years here, so at least one of those should be snowy, hopefully!


Here's a video of Jackson's new dance moves. He does this anytime he hears music or anything that sounds like music. I cut off his clapping at the end by accident, so the second video is a continuation of this one.
