riding on cliffs

Jackson wanted to ride his bike up on the rock wall the other day.

He got it that far, but I helped him down.

fishing

We went daycamping with friends this last weekend. Jackson went out in the boat fishing with the guys for the first time.

popsicles and jumping

Annual hollyhock picture

Here is the annual picture of the backside of our backyard. I've kept up with the weeds this year! The rose bush at the end is about to bloom. And the poppy's (in the middle on the left) are close to blooming too. I'm going to try to plant some pumpkins back here this year, I'm excited to try that.

bike videos

I finally got some video of Jackson riding his bike. He is doing soo good on it too. Even from yesterday to today has been a big improvement!

He loves going off on this dirt path into the field.

After he crashed, he saw an ant and tried to pick it up, didn't even care that he crashed.

He is going so much faster today than yesterday, it's amazing.

more bike

He's been riding his bike everyday. I make him wear his helmet now everytime too. Which I think will be good, so he'll get used to it more and not mind wearing it as much in the bike trailer too.

new bike

We got Jackson the bike. I did some research and decided to get it. And so far, I think we did good. Jackson rode it around the sidewalk tonight and it was his idea to go off onto the dirt trail. He rode a lot and wanted to go more, but it was getting late so we had to come inside (that's why the pictures are a little blurry).

He had to stop to pick up some BB's along the way. The neighbor kids have shot them everywhere and Jackson likes to play with them. He rocks them in his arms and sings "bb baby".
