Long Time No See...

OK, it's official--I think this is the LONGEST I have gone without updating our blog. Things have been busy, but not "un-eventful" at the Jackson house.

Therefore, I have ALOT to share with everyone!

July was a large month as we celebrated Caroline's third birthday...several times! We began her "birthday weekend" by taking her to see Dora, Live!

SHE LOVED IT!

Earlier that week, Caroline also got her new "Big Girl" room for her birthday. We moved her from her nursery in the front bedroom.

She loves her blue room...a big change from her pink! Her nursery is now the "Playroom." Mom and Dad LOVE it! We finally have OUR crash room back without all of the toys, even though she still drags them across the house.

Now, we need to work on cleaning up! She definitely has the song down...

"Clean up, clean up--everybody clean up!" (Dora, of course)

The following Saturday, we had her Princess / Frog party at Happy Hopperz. Lots of kids came, and she had a blast. What's a party without a jumphouse?

In August, we started pre-school, and has made plenty of new friends, as well as starting dance...she thinks she is a "real" ballerina. June will be her BIG dance recital, and she cannot wait to dance on the stage...my little performer!The fall came, and of COURSE, we cheered on the Red Raiders. Caroline has become the BIGGEST Tech fan!

We traveled to Lubbock to see a game in October. We should have left after Caroline shook Raider Red's hand, and the masked rider waved at her...because we lost miserably to the Aggies! UGH.

We will definitely back to visit Lubbock in the Fall!

Christmas came and went...and Santa came! This year, Caroline really liked Santa. A dramatic change from years passed. As usual, he left more than any child could need. I guess that means we have a good little girl?

Or, just spoiled!?

We were able to make our annual visit to Angel Fire at the beginning of the year for a little R &R and time away. It is always so incredibly beautiful and memories made... And, Caroline SKIIED for the first time!

Since the beginning of 2010, we have been busy with day-to-day life: work, school, and staying amused by Caroline!

Easter Sunday we stayed in Fort Worth, and celebrated with my family.

"The Girls"

And, again, for Mother's Day we spent the weekend celebrating my dad's 60th birthday, as well! On Sunday, we went to see Peter Pan...and (of course) Caroline had to dress up.

She was the cutest Tinkerbell there!

In this picture, we kept trying to get Caroline to smile. As you can see, she is doing right the opposite!Regardless...she is my "Stinker-bell!" I love you, my sweet baby.

With that thought--Caroline is becoming more and more a little girl, as the"baby" does slip away.

She will be FOUR in two months...where has the time gone?

3 year pictures... to 3 years & 9 months!

Thanks for your patience, in my absence...I'll try and do better in updating more than every 10 months!
