New House, New Life!

SO much is going on in Frazierville! Not only do we have a very smart, curious, "busy" two year old, we just bought a house! The house is a 3 bedroom home on the east side of Dillon (the "right" side of the tracks). Its a little bit older, which results in a charming telephone & telephone book alcove shelf thing, and a light pink shower. We are super excited about it. There is actually a backyard for Jackson to play in! He's already spent hours outside playing in the kiddie pool and on the deck. I'll post pics when we're all moved in. Right now were still living out of boxes. We had almost 20 people help us move, which was a huge blessing. Now I just need to get to work unpacking! Jackson has had a great summer so far. He spent a week with Bob, a weekend with Vicki, and is currently with Grandpa Tom and Grandma Bina, terrorizing the Ledger. He just finished swim lessons and had a regular baby-sitter for part of the summer while I worked at the United Way. She leaves for college in two weeks, so he'll be the Assistand Director at the United Way until the new day care opens. The other BIG news around here is that Jackson's going to be a big brother! Baby Frazier #2 is due in February. Ive been sick, but not as sick as I was with Jackson. Luke is busy with work. He launched a new software and taught everyone how to use it. He hasn't been feeling well lately, so prayers are appreciated.

Welcome to Dillon, MT!

Dillon? What the heck? Yes, we moved to Dillon. Luke just got a great job at Great Harvest Franchising Office. Basically the home office for Great Harvest Bread. He is a Technology Specialist and in charge of implementing a new software across the 220 franchisees and home office employees, plus help the franchisees with their websites. One of the perks of his job is free bread. The other perk is that they pay for most of our membership at the YMCA! I think this goes quite well together, because lets face it, carbs are not a bff to the waistline. Also, the cinnamon chip bread is pretty irresistible, in my opinion. I am loving the Y! They have child watch from 9-11:30 am so that I can exercise and Jackson is being cared for. I met with a trainer, and they gave me a "program" and they measure you after you've done it 12 times to see your progress before getting you a new program. We have signed Jackson up for swimming lessons next month, too. Holy sore is all I can say! This weekend Uncle Shock stopped by to visit. He was picking up Grandma and Grandpa's old care to drive back to Los Angelos, making a pit stop in Boise. Lucky for us we got to be on the itinerary. Here are some pics of Jackson and Uncle Shock. Uncle Shock buys fake mustaches in bulk and enjoys the entertainment of it. They tried mustaches, unibrows, even Elmo and Mickey sported mustaches. Jackson loved it! He followed Scott around like a puppy. "Uncle Shock!" "Uncle Shock!" to which Scott replied "Uncle Jackson!" Jackson is growing up so fast! Hard to believe he's already 2! Hes talking up a storm, repeating everything, and just into everything. Keeps me on my toes! We just love him to pieces!

Sledding with Mommy!

It was one of those days where we needed to get out of the house, so Jackson and I bundled up to go get the mail.

I put him in his snowsuit and strapped him in before going outside. I dont know if you can see it, but there were definitely a few tears running down his cheek. He was getting tired and didn't like getting into the snowsuit. Plus he's very clingy lately after we left him with Grandma and Grandpa Eggs last week for two nights. Apparently he thought I was just going to strap him in the sled and leave him in the entry way.

Once we found some sidewalk that wasn't cleared, he loved sledding! It was much easier to pull his 20 lbs on snow than on cement.

Once we got to the mailboxes, we decided to take advantage of the park so I put him in one of the baby swings. He LOVED it. I think he was partially laughing at me because I had his pacifier in his mouth.

You can see his teeth! He has two on the bottom and one on top.

Isn't he a cutie?

Fun at the Cabin

Luke had the week off between Christmas and New Year's, so we decided to go to the cabin for some family time.

Jackson's wild hair!

Getting ready to go sledding!!

He loved it!

Checking out the snow and his crazy parents!!

Christms 2011: Part 1

We had a wonderful Christmas this year!!! It was a houseful - my parents, my brothers, Luke's mom & Barry, Luke's dad (of course!), and us. Luke even preached two Christmas Eve services at the church. I don't think Jackson truly knew what was going on, but he had fun playing with everyone and everything. He especially liked doing laps with Scott with his little walking cart.

As you can see he got lots of new toys but enjoyed the non-toys too!

And what Eggensperger Family gathering would be complete without craziness from Mark & Scott?

Every little boy needs a collection of Dinosaurs. This one is a Deinonychus. We saw it on Dinosaur Train a few weeks before Christmas. (I gotta start learning my dinosaur names!!) It is known for its "terrible claw" that is on its foot.

And the token family picture in front of the tree. We took like ten pictures and this was the best one. Jackson is apparently allergic to pineapple....it gave him a rash around his mouth, but he really liked it.

And our special gift to Bob - a Quilt! This pattern is called Bear Paw. I thought it was fitting since Bob is a (gulp!) Griz Fan.

J's 9 month update

Jackson had his 9 month appointment last week. He is 18 lbs, 6 oz. (15%) He is 28 inches long (30%) and his head circumference is in the 85%. Does that mean he'll be super smart? He already is. He is pretty much skipping the crawling. He kind of pulls himself with his arms while his legs are straight. He loves to stand and walk along the furniture. He can go from couch to couch to chair to tv stand, where he gets in trouble. All those blinking lights just call to him. And lately he just wants to hold onto your fingers and walk. Hes getting more explorative. The living room is boring. Now he wants to walk over by the door and around the kitchen and down the stairs etc. etc. etc. He is so fun, too. He is giggling and laughing and smiling. Yesterday I was feeding him and he was making a funny face so I asked him if he was poopin. He thought "poop" was soo funny. (he's such a boy!!) So I kept saying poop and he kept laughing hysterically. I took a video on my phone, and I'll try to upload it at some point. We just love him! Hes growing up so fast!
