Mansfield Pickle Parade

This past Saturday afternoon was Mansfield's Pickle Parade celebrating St. Patrick's Day.  The whole family went...even my sis and the kids joined us!  We met up with our friends, found a great spot on Main St. and enjoyed the parade. I think we've started a new tradition.....

 

Cousins...

Here's are clan making the walk to Main St.  Too bad I didn't take a pic of my dad (aka gramps) pushing the BOB loaded down with chairs. 

My sissy...

best buds Zachary and J (aka Batman and Spiderman)

By far Jackson's favorite Monster Truck in the parade.  I think it was the ONLY one too...

Ahh.. the Wheeling Elvi.  I can't help it, I love them. 

Pickle Queens.... My sister's old drill team coach from high school is on the right by the clover.  Looking good Lisa!!

This pic sums it up....We had a great time, and can't wait to do it again next year! 

 

Hope everyone had a wonderful St. Patty's Day!!!

Spring Break 2013

What a fun Spring Break!  Not only did Jackson get a week off school, but Grandma made a visit as well.    Here a our week with Grandma...

Daddy got Jackson a really cool tent, and he loves watching his shows, and playing in there.  Here he is waiting to go get Grandma from the airport.

 

 

 

 

The First Day of Spring Break.....The Stockyard Cattle Drive

 





Afterwords we enjoyed an awesome lunch a Joe T's...

 

I went shopping with a friend of mine, and Jackson spent some quality time with Grandma....I came home and found them playing doctor....Love his face!



We celebrated St. Patrick's Day all week!

We met up with our buddies to ride the train through Trinity Park.  The weather was perfect, and we he had the best seat to watch all those who went to Half price day at the zoo.  

The boys and their new super hero hats...

 



Afterwords, we had lunch at the gourmet food truck park on the Trinity.  If you've never been, your missing out!

Valentine's Day 2013

Valentine's Day was a school day for Jackson, and full day of love and fun! Heart shaped pancakes were for breakfast, and I packed his lunch full of all things heart shaped as well. His school party was at 2:00, and the parents and kids made a very cute Valentine project. Afterwords the kids had cookies, and drinks. 

Everyone hard at work on their Valentine...

Rosco and Jackson...Best Buds!



LOVE this cookie face...

 

All the Doodlebugs...

 

 

 

 

 

After school we headed over to the Donaho house for more Valentine's Fun.  It was an absolutely perfect day for the kids to play outside, and the moms to catch up.  Here are some cute memories...

Checking out the view through the spy glass...

Passing out Valentines...

Gus showing Jackson something really cool.

Here Jackson...look at it up close!

 

That night we had our Papa Murphy's heart shaped pizza with daddy.  Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day filled with Love!

Tree Point Park Ride & Play

Yesterday was another unusually warm day, so Jackson and I headed to our favorite park. I'm so proud to say that Jackson is an official bike rider...he's got (as he would say) "good balance!" Here are some highlights...

Check out that cute shadow...

 

 

 

 

 

After about an hour on his bike, we headed to the park...with everyone else in the neighborhood.  



I had to share this fun picture from this weekend.  This is Jackson trying to shoot a basket.  I love it!!!
