Jack’s solo mission in the tent. He did all night by himself to proving to me he’s brave enough to go camping for real!

Christmas at the Stones!
Jane, Simon, Zach and Jed came down for Christmas this year (and New Years). We loved hanging out with them and the kids had a blast (when not killing each other.

I’m 5 tomorrow!
I can’t believe our wee boy turns 5 tomorrow! How amazing is that? This is a pic of how excited he was tonight about his birthday tomorrow!

My boy Jackson is growing up fast! Last night he cooked the bbq for the family and did a fantastic job!
The Stones take on Australia!
