1. We have been skiing/snowboarding. Matthew went off-track and we spent all my days off at Brighton. Matthew is getting to be a champion skiier (for a 9 year old) and is perfecting his turning and trying to put his skis a little closer together. He even tried the half-pipe and loved it until he hit a jump at the end and "had a yard sale". Emily has made the transition to snowboarding and loves it! Dylan and some of his friends have taught her well. And, of course, Dylan spends every spare minute he has on the slopes. He wows us with his tricks, jumps, speed, etc.
2. Dylan is planning his future and has gotten accepted into Utah State University! He is getting very excited to go to college, live with friends and hopefully be able to work, go to school and snowboard in Logan next winter.
3. Valentine's Day was filled with love! Cody spoiled me, as usual, and bought me a Coach bag (so now I have two)! I am so lucky to have him. He takes such good care of me and is so sweet.
4. Our family time has been filled with watching American Idol together and, of course, The Office. Thank heavens for DVR's so we can fast forward through commercials!
5. I have been working with my mom trying to get her family pictures put together into books. They are finally coming together. They are challenging and sharpening my photoshop skills. I have absolutely fallen in love with digital scrapbooking! NO MESS!!! NO PAPER CUTTERS! NO GLUE DOTS!
So that is the Jackson world of 3 months summed up in a 3 minute read. We are blessed with great kids who work hard at school and their extra curricular activities. We have a great home that forces us to spend a lot of time together (because it is on the smaller side, we are forced into closeness). Cody has a job that he loves in spite of all the traveling. LIFE IS GOOD!
