We planned this trip to Mexico (South of Cancun) for our 10 year anniversary....it has also become my Christmas and birthday present, likely Valentine's Day and probably Mother's Day as well :) Jared likes to stick to themes...it was an all-inclusive trip so it will be an all-inclusive gift. I'm NOT complaining. I imagine heaven is a bit like this but only better...I can't imagine. I felt like we were in Paradise. We were able to get a massage, work-out, lay on the beach and read for a week while soaking up the sun. Our biggest decision was which restaurant to eat at. A whole lot different than life at home with 4 kids....

These little "raccoon-monkey" things were around at the resort. Although signs said, "Do not feed", people would stop to feed them. They were a bit creepy to me...I'm just glad they were friendly...

Iguanas were everywhere as well...we got close enough to take a picture with Flat Stanley...(part of Emma's school project). Afterwards, we read that they are NOT friendly in the months of January and February due to mating season. Awesome. We are glad we did not get hurt.

Oh my. I was so fortunate to get a photo shoot on the beach with a Toucan. Yes, this was awesome. I'm pretty sure I WON'T end up on some billboard in Mexico...there's nothing like someone telling you in broken English to look sexy. I was trying so hard not to laugh.

They started training over the summer, running a few miles a week. They kept track of every mile they ran (up to 25 miles) and on race day, they ran their last 1.2 miles. At the end, they got their very own medal, "just like mommy". We were so proud of them and hope they continue to love the joy of running.

He came to Kansas City in October and our neighbor Tina gave the older 3 girls and I tickets for our Christmas and birthday presents...and it was the best gift ever. The girls were SO excited and it was so fun to see their faces when he came out! Our friends were able to get seats next to us so that made it super fun as well...thanks again Tina for such a wonderful night out!

The girls did great...I took turns skating them around the rink for several hours...it was quite the work-out. My arms were so sore the next day! They were determined to "keep going until I get it good".
We started a new tradition this year and although Eva is still a bit young and ran around the majority of the time we were doing devotions, the girls really began to grasp the Christmas story on a deeper level...not just the birth of Jesus but the events leading up to WHY Jesus had to be born. We did a Jesse tree...we made ornaments (24 of them), each a symbol of the theme of the scipture passage we were reading. And of course, we had an advent calendar filled with chocolates that they got to open AFTER the scripture. Why yes, we used a little <strike>bribery</strike> positive reinforcement to help them sit quietly through our nightly devotions...

There are numerous videos <strike>which make me want to beat my head against a wall</strike> on you tube on how to make everything from mini umbrellas to lamps to food. Ellie is constantly watching them and wanting to create something. So, in a weak moment, I agreed to make food for their kitchen. We used ingredients around the house including flour, salt, water, molds from our Playdough sets, as well as eyeshadow and nail polish to decorate the food. It ended up being a very inexpensive and fun craft...now their dolls have the staples for their kitchen....kolaches, doughnuts, strawberries, pears, cinnamon rolls, crescents, pretzels and bread.

The girls have wanted an elf. EVERYONE has an elf on the shelf after all. I was a scrooge about this one. Honestly, I was totally against the whole idea for several reasons....I viewed it as a distraction from the true meaning of Christmas. I felt as if the whole concept (ie book) did not reflect the type of grace-based parenting we strive for (If you are not good....then you will not get...) Not to mention...that elf is CREEPY!! So...with the help of other Christian moms (gosh I love the internet),our family compromised. I bought the elf and book and did away the book. Instead, our "naughty" elf came neatly packaged in a box with a letter, explaining that her name was Gracie and she was sent by Santa for the girls to teach Gracie how to be good and to show her grace by cleaning up her messes, JUST like Jesus does for us EVERY day. And Gracie DID make messes....EVERY morning there was so much excitement and anticipation looking for Gracie. And we had a whole lot of laughs! I'm not sure who had more fun with our elf...Jared & I or the girls?!

Here is a snippet of part of our letter from Santa....
"I had to let you know something important. You know that whole naughty and nice list that everyone is talking about? Well....it’s not even true. I don’t even have a naughty and nice list. Because I know Jesus, I know a lot about grace which means that we get something we don’t deserve. Like when you make the wrong choice and do something bad, Jesus gives you grace and loves you no matter what. And I know your mom and dad give you grace…like when you deserve to get in trouble but they give you another chance...that is grace.
I know that kids are not perfect. And I know that you girls are not perfect. But I do know that Jesus loves you all the time and so do I. So you don’t even need to worry about being on my naughty or nice list. I love to bring surprises on Christmas Eve so that is what you will get.
To help you remember about grace and getting love even when you don’t deserve it, I wanted to send you a special treat....my friend Gracie!"

Although the girls were tired of cleaning up her messes, they were sad to see Gracie go. At one point Emma said, "Wow this is a lot of work"...I think she got a glimpse of how God views us...the unconditional love you get when you screw up over. and over. and over.

Whew...this parenting thing is a lot of work.Jared Jacksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01803299305670658536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081865184773262020.post-86835419822369735992013-01-27T14:23:00.000-06:002013-01-27T14:52:03.414-06:00Oooompa Loompa Loop da de doo!!Ellie, Edyn & Jared rang in their 7th, 5th and 36th birthdays (you can guess who celebrated what numbered birthday) with a Willy Wonka Party!

....was in August, SEVERAL months ago. This is very cliche, I know, but WE ARE NOT OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE A 3rd GRADER!!! Third grade was a big adjustment (Emma had to start a new school) there were lots of nerves but things are going very well...despite all the drama that just goes with being a girl (I can't believe it starts SO early!!) Ellie is enjoying 1st grade...she was so lucky to get the teacher Emma had in first grade who is just phenomenal! We are SO thankful for an incredible school system. And Edyn started preschool. We thought they were getting her mixed up with another girl when we got her report card and the section read like this...
"Manages anger/frustration well": N/A; Edyn does not get angry or frustrated; she is very laid-back. As her sister Ellie put it, "I save my bad energy for home too".

This is quite the overwhelming task for me since I am months behind but since this is the ONLY form of scrapbooking I do <strike>and the girls asked why they didn't get a new scrapbook at Christmas and I'm having a little mom-guilt about that and because books are 25% off this weekend and this mom on a budget is way too cheap to pay full price for anything</strike>, here I go....
I'm going to start with some pictures that just make my heart smile...Family pictures 2012, taken in September. Our nanny and her boyfriend took part in our shoot since she is pretty much a part of our family. oh...I don't know what we would do without her. Seriously, every mom needs a Cara. She gets the housework done (laundry, dishes, sweeping, vaccumming, <strike>picking up junk</strike> on the days I work, so on my days off, I can spend my time more focused on <strike>catching up on my shows and working out </strike>the girls instead of housework. Thank you Cara for all you do! You are such a blessing to our family!

And the best part...it is super healthy, LOADED with protein!
Here goes...
2 cups Quinoa and
1 cup pine nuts or pumpkin seeds.
Brown in a medium size pot for approximately 8-10 minutes on medium heat.
Add:
3 cups water,
1 tablespoon chicken stock,
2 bay leaves, and
1 tsp salt.
Bring to a boil, then let simmer (covered) for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it set for 5 minutes before removing lid and "fluffing". Remove bay leaves.
Add:
2 bunches of cilantro,
2 tablespoons of lime juice,
1 cup fat free feta cheese,
1 can light red kidney beans, and
1 small chopped onion.

Friend. Last minute baby-sitter. She spoils the girls ROTTEN with her generosity. I can't even begin to list all the wonderful, selfless ways in which Tina has blessed our family. She can't even go outside and sit on her back deck without the girls running to her fence, begging her for a popsicle, juicy drink or to just go play with Playdoh. She truly loves our girls and for that we are so thankful. Because, not only does she watch our girls to help us out or give us a break, she does it because she truly WANTS to spend time with them. Thank you for ALL you do...you have NO idea how MUCH you are appreciated.

He soon learned that ALL of her best friends were playing and they were going to have "cool socks and pink uniforms and do cartwheels on the way out to the field". She was sold on the idea. Although the uniforms "weren't quite what she had in mind...and there were few less cartwheels than what she planned on...and the socks were hot"....overall, she had a whole lot of fun with her friends.

It has been fun watching their personalities emerge...Ellie is quite the competetive and confident one and Emma is definitively a tad more laid back. As I mentioned last year, Ellie knew exactly how many medals and ribbons she had won and Emma was just going to "share hers with the neighbor because she didn't have one".
Here was a few of our conversations at their first meet:
Mom: "Emma, you swam so hard and you just won, you got first place!!"
Emma: "Really, mom, are you sure?...Really, I really DID beat that girl??"
Mom: "Yes, Emma, you really did!!"
Emma: "Wow! I still can't believe it!"
And on the other hand....
Mom: "Ellie, you swam so hard and you just won, you got first place!!"
Ellie: "I know that already mom, I'm gonna win ALL my races."

The Chieftans had an awesome year and won the League and Regional Tournaments and Jared was such a proud head coach. They came in 2nd at the state tourney <strike>by one stroke (but we don't mention that. ever.)</strike> The "golfing boys" came over multiple times during the season for breakfast and "team building" which turned into some wrestling on the trampoline, the girls being chased and of course, the girls teasing the boys. Much to daddy's dismay, the girls got pretty excited and giddy. Toward the end of the season, the girls all had "boyfriends". Eva is pictured with Tyler, the one she gravitated to. But the girls warned her, "Now Eva, you just need to know that Tyler MIGHT be already married by the time you are old enough to get married, ok?"

And...he allows them to tie a pink scarf around his neck as his leash. There are always LOTS of giggles and squeals. Music to my ears...and heart.

The kids had a wonderful time with all of the fun that comes with Easter...hunting eggs, coloring eggs, being with family and <a href="http://ejacksongirls.blogspot.com/2009/05/memories-of-easter.html">playing with the resurrection eggs</a> over and over.
Thank You Jesus for this fun spring celebration where we are reminded of your sacrifice and NEW LIFE!!

Emma June, we love your sweet sensitive spirit. You have such a gift in knowing what others need before they ask. We love that you avoid drama and always want to do the right thing. That, my child will get you so far in life. We love that you enjoy reading so much, that you have to beg us to stay up later just so you can read more. You are such a wonderful big sister and I know we place extra responsibilites on you...thank you for taking them on so well. We love you so much Emma June and we are so thankful to have been chosen to be your parents!

The girls had a wonderful time and the weather ended up being PERFECT! Their favorite was the polar bear who swam right by them multiple times and put his feet on the glass to kick off before he dove.
