Odds and Ends

Here are some random End-of-the-Year pictures from the last few days:

This kid loves him some basketball!

 We decided to do a New Year's date swap with our friends Todd and Ashley. We watched their kids Thursday night and then Friday night, Ashley's mom watch all 4 kids so we could all go out! Whoo Hoo!
Thursday night, Philip and I went to the grocery store and when we returned, we learned of all the fun the kids had:

Super Hero Addie!
Wesley texted this picture to Todd and his response was: If Addie is wearing the Super Hero Costume, who is wearing her princess crown?

Answer: Flash! 

Addie, Jackson and Tucker had so much fun in Jackson's playroom!

And then they all enjoyed the basketball game!

Lynne gave Philip this adorable UT sweatsuit. She knew it might be a tad too big for Philip, but no one knew it would fit Jackson so perfectly. Wesley took a picture to send her....

Philip felt left out so he posed for one as well!

Even with all the toys they got for Christmas, something was missing.
Jackson and I were walking through the Clearance Toy section of Target and he saw this McDonalds play set.
He "just had to have it!" It cost what Drubby gave him for Christmas so I told him he could use his Christmas money for it.
That kid was so excited. He carefully helped me put it in the cart and then held on as we walked through Target to the checkout counter!

He asked Wesley to take a picture of him making the hamburger!

Philip:

• We don't understand, but his favorite expression is "B-O-B" He says it when he is counting or when he sees letters. We guess these are the only letters he knows and he loves to say them over and over again!
• On occasion, he will impress both of us with what we can only assume he is learning in school. He has started singing Twinkle Twinkle and Jesus Loves Me. It is adorable!
• Trucks = DaDas
• Milk = Thirsty

Jackson:

• His favorite word is "Dem" as in "'den' still have 'dem' lights up." (Most people would say "they still have their lights up.")
• His memory and imagination still amazes us. We were at the park tonight and he said "Remember when we go to Mimi's and Mommy runs in the race. I am going to play that." He then runs in circles and makes us applaud as he nears the end!
