January '09 Recap

Now that I'm getting the hang of this whole blogging thing, I'm going to go back and do some posts from earlier in 2009 (before I started blogging). I'm doing this because I'm going to put together a blog book for all of 2009.

So the next 10 posts or so will be from things that happened from January - June of '09. Some posts will have a lot of words, a lot of descriptions and others will simply be the pictures....just capturing the memories on the world wide web and eventually into my blog book.



January '09 started with a Christmas present exchange with our Fayetteville cousins. Here they are from left to right:
Emily (8), Zander (7mths), Haley (6), Emma Kate (5), Zane (7mths), Eli (8), Cole (4)

Zander and Zane enjoying some eggs for breakfast







This was my attempt to give the boys tummy time each day. I would lay them on the edge of the carpet and then put a rolling ball or a train that moves on the tile floor. They loved watching the toys and often tried to kick their legs in an attempt to move.



This was before Emma Kate's 1st ever gymnastics meet. Level 4 in Kansas City. She was still one week away from being old enough to compete, so this was non-sanctioned.

Eli had a nasty rash around his mouth while we were in KC....
Meet is over. She and Coach John sitting through the awards.
Emma Kate Jackson....1st place all-around!

Philip put Eli's Gator helmet on Zander....

Zane wanted his turn....


Celebrating Emma Kate's 6th birthday at school. In the picture is her amazing teacher, Mrs. Keylor and EK's friend Lydia, who also shares the same birthday.

When Philip and I went to the National Championship Game in Miami, we stopped by Downtown Disney and got her this Tinkerbell costume for her birthday.


She's 6 now and finally gets to compete for real!!
Texas Prime Meet in Coppell, TX.

She placed for vault.

We hurried home from Dallas amid a snowy forecast. Here's what we woke up to the next day!

It turned out to be the "Ice Storm of '09" that did a lot of damage and basically shut down NWA for a week.


Zander making a pirate-face....

For college football and basketball, my dad sponsors a pool among the guys in our family. Eli won 1st place! Here he is receiving his prize....
