Not so recent pictures anymore!!

It seems like we have been so busy this summer. At the end of June we were able to meet up with Cody's Aunt Linda (Cody's mom's sister) and Uncle Ray for lunch before they flew back home to Missouri. Jackson was a good boy and gave Aunt Linda some loves.

He really liked Aunt Linda

At the end of June Cody and I were the 4th year specialists at our Stake's Girl's Camp. When they called us for this I was very nervous but somehow things always turn out. We were paired up with another couple the Tenneys that have done this calling the past few years and they were great. The 4th year High Adventure was the Monday leading into Girl's Camp. We took the girls rappelling, shooting, and hiking. Then they camped overnight in tents and the next morning they built a tower so that the girls at girl's camp could climb up the tower the rest of the week.

All of the 4th year girls/and 3 YCLs on our hike - we had a very good group of girls

It was hard having to leave Jackson home and go to Girl's Camp but it was a good experience. I also knew that we was in good hands with Grandma and Grandpa Castle. I got home really late on Friday night so I had to wait and see Jackson in the morning.

These are a few pictures of Jackson from July:

Happily waiting for his food - he is modeling a bib that my niece Miriam made for him - yes he is wearing a diaper you just can't tell!!

Still loves to eat!! If you can't tell from his size!!

Playing with his toys - yes Jackson does have clothes but it gets hot here in the summer!!

One of Jackson's favorite things to play with - plastic bags - don't worry he is closely supervised. He was having so much fun with this Bounty bag. He would put his feet in the bottom of the bag and was throwing his arms up and down and going crazy!!

Getting ready to go to church

Another thing he likes to play with popsicle sticks - The poor guy just stares at you when you eat anything and gets so excited after I eat a popsicle and give him the stick. If only he knew what the popsicle tasted like!!! Who needs to buy toys when you have things like plastic bags and popsicle sticks!!

We have so much fun with Jackson and are enjoying watching him grow up!! He is growing up way too fast!!
