Rubbin's Racin'...

Jackson and I have the opportunity to enjoy another guys weekend. Heather drove up to Portland to visit Aree and do some shopping. I took leave this weekend (it's a drill weekend) and we've done the tri-fecta here in Klamath Falls. Home Depot, Wal-Mart, and Fred Meyer have seen a lot of the Gilcreast boys this weekend. We got some snow last night and a little more today although it's not much. We were planning on making our first snowman, but we still don't have enough snow. So, we've been doing things indoors mostly. Jackson received a new toy from Santa and since we're not going to be here for Christmas, I elected to open it up and let him give it a whirl. Judge for yourself, but I think he likes it. (Thanks Papa Swoop and Nana Charlene!)



As you can see, the dogs were curious as well....

Jackson's trying to figure out how to get his new ATV unstuck. Maybe dad should rig up a winch...

Once he figured out the button to make it go, I couldn't get him to stop. He hasn't quite figured out how to steer, but we're working on it.

Ok I confess, I put his bear on there with him. He stayed on for <8 seconds but not before I could take the picture!


Jackson's lucky his dad is a borderline gourmet chef. He got a ham and cheese omlet with buttered toast. We ate like that kings that morning...

That night we enjoyed meatballs, spaghetti, black beans, and carrots. He didn't have much for the carrots or meatballs, but liked the rest.

Jackson loves Heidi. She's the perfect height and will eat anything he gives her (he likes to feed the dogs given the opportunity). I'm trying to nip that one early, but it's hard to keep eyes on him all the time. It's very tiring, I have a lot of respect and appreciation for what Heather does every day. Thank you Heather!
