Monster Truck Monster Jam...

We saw this great Monster Truck Monster Jam coming up and thought that Jackson would absolutely love it! So John decided that Jackson would be just old enough to come and enjoy it. HE LOVED IT! John was smart to bring ear plugs, as they said it was deafening loud! Jackson couldn't stop talking about how cool it was and how the trucks would smash the little cars. We often replay it with our cars at home.

Unfortunately, John didn't get a picture of him and Jackson. But look how thrilled he is to go to the Moster Trucks with just Daddy!

 Bradley and I stayed home, as I didn't think Brad would have the attention span for the whole event. Looking back we are sure he would have struggled with the loud noise and long lines too! Better luck in a couple of years!

Bradley was excited to see that they caught a picture of his main love, a puppy.

Workers for hire!

We are not responsible for any unclean or broken dishes, water on the floor, counters or walls; must remove all sharps before service...They are real cheap but worth every penny for the entertainment!

 "Helping" to do the dishes. 

John actually said that Jackson did a fairly good job at it, he may be hired in the near future if he keeps that up!

 Bradley loves that sprayer and was good to keep most of the water in the sink...kind of.

What cute little boys we have!

Silly Boys!

I think they have been hanging around Mommy a little too much these days!

 Several times a week Bradley in particular comes up to me, sticking out his belly and says in an aching voice, "Mom, there's baby in my belly!"

Here he is telling Daddy that there indeed is a baby in his belly.

Can't forget the side profile.

 Jackson also gets into the action and then as if he is sharing a big silly joke exclaims that it is a puppy, not a baby. Funny boys!

Bradley has affectionately called his teddy bear that Grandma Andersen gave him over a year ago Baby. So, it's only fitting that this was his "Baby." I think these boys are very excited to have a new baby in the house.
In pregnancy news, I am still contracting like I need to have this baby any day, but alas she still has several weeks to bake properly. My sweet neighbors and family have helped immensely by watching my boys for doctor appointments, taking them for play dates and even bringing over dinners! My sweet husband has even made time to come home "early" (especially for busy season) every day to help my wrangle the kids for dinner and bedtime and then works from home until late in the evenings to make up for it! Those of you who know how busy season is for a CPA can understand how much of a sacrifice this is. I am so grateful for the show of service and love at this rather unpleasant time which unfortunately is apart of all of my pregnancies.
