Jacks School Egg Hunt

Going to school on a working cattle ranch has all sorts of advantages, especially come Easter time! The kids received a clue in the classroom about where to find the first batch of eggs. The Easter bunny took them from the playground, goat area, pig & calf barn, hay barn & finally the Horse corral for the final prize! They decorated bags and made these cute chick hats. I love that my kid was the only one who kept on his hat. Everyone else took them off or they flew off in excitement. He told his teachers it "made him search better". We still have our community egg hunt on Saturday and of course the Anderson Egg hunt on Sunday! Happy Early Easter everyone!!


Receiving the first clue in the classroom


On our way to the second clue!


Mission complete!!!



Listening to the next clue...



Answering the clue "where horses like to dance and prance!"



This is a bad picture but the two specs on the top are the resident barn owls. Very cool to see these guys!!

Typhoon Lagoon

Disney World has 2 water parks on property.  Last year we visited Blizzard Beach, this time we wanted to check out Typhoon Lagoon.  We had gotten in the night before really late so it was nice to just lay in the sun and float around.

Florida 2013

We took a trip to Sunny Florida the end of February.  We had a great time! Spent time in Melbourne at the Ocean and of course Disney World!!  The weather was perfect, crowds were minimal and fun was BIG.  We feel so lucky to spend this time together with everyone.  How lucky was Jackson to have both his grandparents come join the fun too?!  This trip also marked this little guys 23,000 air mile!  Yep a few trips to Florida, Maui and San Diego sure add up.  He continues to be a great little traveler and always up for adventure.  A bonus with the East Coast Time change is we usually have to wake him up in the morning.  Haha revenge!

Catch Up!!

I just realized that I left out Thanksgiving & the month of December!  Birth month to 3 of my favorite people: Jesus, Nic & Jackson!!  Yikes kind of weird to look at Christmas Pictures at the end of March....nonetheless Enjoy!

We had 23 people over  for Thanksgiving!  One of my centerpieces

 Jackson brought cupcakes to his preschool for his birthday day.  He wanted Vanilla cupcakes with blue sprinkles.  Here with one of his teachers Mrs. Richardson wearing the "birthday hat".  His friends loved his treats and it was a beautiful day on the ranch.

 Christmas Eve at my Grammy's house.  Jackson is so lucky as Santa has been visiting Grammy's house since 1980!!  Below Jackson and my beautiful Grammy!

Santa and his Reindeer loved the treats Jackson put out

He left him a Tower Crane & a stocking full of goddies

Teddy Ruff got a new Christmas Bone

Rocco!

Christmas 2012

Crocker Art

Jackson's preschool class took a fabulous trip to the Crocker. I was really impressed at how the docents structured the trip to occupy 3 & 4 year olds. They broke us down in small groups of 4. The day ended with a hands on art project and lunch outside. Fun day!!
