From Jackson

Jackson got a camera from Christmas and has love taking pictures of pretty much everything. He takes it in the car so he can take pictures of "the beautiful mountains," or he'll just snap away at people and things around the house. When we took our last trip to Utah he had to take a picture of his fish so he could look at pictures of him while we were away. And he looked at the fish pictures every night. Not only did he look at the pictures, he had to show his fish. Last night he wanted to take pictures of Mommy and Daddy before prayers, and also have a family picture and these are the pictures he took.

He is actually hold the camera out for this picture, I think he did a great job.

While we are on the Jackson subject, I thought I would throw in a few cute Jacksonisms. Yesterday he came up with the best idea ever, he suggested that we go to the money place and order a whole bunch of money because that would be a good idea. Whenever he wants something, like say a motorcycle, he simply suggest that we buy the one that is $1. Why didn't we think of that? Also, yesterday he was looking for his stuffed dog to sleep with. He has two stuffed dogs that he really likes so I asked him which one he wanted and he said "his name is called Haybert Jackson." This is funny for many reasons. He usually names thing what they are. His fish is Beta Fish, our imaginary dog is Springer Spaniel. He usually just doesn't get creative but last night I think he did a fine job showing us his creativity and you gotta love that he threw his own name in there. Today he named an imaginary friend Samti Jackson, so he is on a roll. Everyday he surprised me with something new. He is so smart and funny and intensely animated. You really should see that boy dance, he's got moves! Lately he tries to break dance when the music prompts him do to so. In all he is the funnest little 4 year old a mom could ask for.
