Timber! Saturday afternoon James and Jackson cut down a tree in the back yard. It had gotten struck by lightening (we WATCHED it get struck by lightening a couple of weeks ago...crazy!) so it had to be cut down. It was going to die anyways...
Jackson has been talking about this all week. "Hey Daddy, when are we going to cut dat tree down?"
As soon as James said, "Today", Jackson ran for his chainsaw upstairs.
He did everything just like his Daddy did. So fun to watch them!
James climbed up the tree and Jackson watched him very intently. Look how little Jackson looks in that picture!
Charlie prefered to do his own thing and push his car around the yard. (Don't worry, the kids came under the porch when massive limbs were falling to the ground.) Here is a rundown of the game Jackson and Champ were playing while this was going on...
1. Throw stick into tall grass so Champ can't find it....
2. Champ going in after his stick...
3. A couple of minutes later he retrieves the stick and is a happy Champers....
4. Until happy Champers chokes on tree bark....good luck with that one buddy!
I found this sweet face in my camera lens!
Like Father like Son. Eventually Jackson got ticked off because his chainsaw didn't work like Daddy's. He yelled, "Hey! It's not working!"
Those triathlons do a body good!
Eventually I had to set the camera down and help haul the branches into a pile. Jackson proclaimed to us that he is a very hard worker!
What a mess it was...and too much work!

love the pics! Charlie is so sweet looking! That may serve to his favor soon when he turns loose and takes off. Poor Champers - that expression was hysterical! Miss all of you! Nana
Jessica,
You have such a beautiful family. I found your blog when I was browsing through "nesters" window mistreatments. I guess it caught my attention, because I have 2 boys too. Connor, age 5, and Cooper age 10 months! Anyway, just wanted to say hi! Love your pics, and thanks for sharing...
