The Jackson's

It was fun having our cousin's visit for the week. We went for a bike ride on the canal, spent the day at Conner Prairie and of course shot off a few fireworks. Our house seems quiet now that they are gone.

As a side note.......when I look at this picture (DAD) I can just feel the cool air conditioned air being sucked out of that open door......

Anna has Braces



Anna visited Dr. Walker today http://www.walkerdixonortho.com/ AND they are simply the best.....what a great job they do.....Anna spent about 30 minutes reading all the papers that go with any hygiene accessories that the office gave her.....we got her a water pick as suggested and she is off and running. Has already told us which tooth brush she is taking to school. She is just nervous her teacher won't let her brush her teeth after lunch. I assured her that her teachers will allow her to brush.....they don't want her running around with noodles (her favorite food) sticking out of her braces.

What more can we say, our little girl is growing up!

King's Island



Well we went to King's Island and enjoyed ourselves and even made it through the crowds and the HEAT....what a fun day filled with good rides and good times. We think Lori's picture would be perfect for a deodorant commercial.

Conner Prairie Camp


Anna and Cole attended Conner Prairie Camp this week with a couple of friends. They had a great time shooting bow and arrows, riding in paddle boats and fishing. Their favorite thing about the week was riding in a hot air balloon.

Tessa is Ten Months Old


Tessa is becoming more and more mobile. She has just learned to roll over and enjoy being on her stomach. She loves to cruise around furniture and walk with her toy car. She likes to snuggle with her pink bunny and rub his ears against her face. She likes to listen to music and dance along with it. Her fingers are getting better at grabbing small things. She likes to look through books. She is usually happy and smiling. We are amazed by her curly hair.

Fourth of July





We had a fun Fourth of July. Our neighborhood had a bike parade and picnic with spectacular fireworks that evening. Our good friends, the Boezman's invited us over for a cook-out. The kids enjoyed the slippery slide and water balloons.
