Jackson thought the guitar at Josh and Amanda's new house for his Guitar Hero game was a fun toy.
Go Cubbies!!
Jack loves to give his sister kisses!
We never know how we are going to find Jackson laying in his big boy bed in the morning. Last night he was turned around with his feet at the head of the bed. We figured he will grow to be a big kid so we just moved him into a queen sized bed instead of a twin.
She loves to give us some gassy smiles as she is drifting to sleep.
It is hard to believe she is one week old already! She is a very good baby and Jack is being a very patient and gentle big brother.
Jack's babysitter lives right next door and he loves playing tackle football with her oldest, Kaleb. Kaleb has 2 younger sisters so he treats Jack like the little brother he never had! It's been nice enough to get outside now which makes for a very tired little boy at the end of the day!
I am officially overdue as of March 8th. The plan is to have this baby Wednesday if not before. The doctor has me scheduled for induction on Wednesday morning so we should know whether Jackson will have a little brother or sister by the end of the day Wednesday!
Now that Jackson has moved to his big boy bed he and Charlotte like getting into the crib to jump and play. We're still waiting on this new baby to arrive! I am due on Sunday, March 8th and the doctor says anytime so keep watching for the official arrival post!
Well, it's official, Nana has bought a new house! It won't be ready until the end of March, but it is perfect for her! Her house in Bluffton finally sold and everything is moved into storage until this house is finished. It's a little bittersweet moving out of the old house, but we are very excited that she will be settled here in Indianapolis with us. Josh and Amanda are closing on their first house tomorrow, too. Lots of news for the Stromberg side of the family!
Jackson turned two on Saturday so we had a small party with family that night. He loved his Thomas the train birthday cake
Last hear we posted pictures of him eating cake with his hands...it's amazing the difference a year makes!
One of his favorites wasn't a gift at all, but a card with a fire breathing dragon on it from Nana. He showed that card to everyone in the room!
Now that Tyler and Jack's birthdays are out of the way, we can start focusing on getting ready for baby! 5 more weeks until my due date of March 8th! 
Thanks to everyone for not sending me hate mail for not blogging lately! At 7 months pregnant and 8 weeks to go, I'm a little worn out from the holidays. We had a great Christmas and hope everyone else did as well. If it takes my entire hour lunch break, I am determined to get our Christmas pictures on the blog for everyone to enjoy!
We got together at Jamie and Tim's house for the Stromberg Christmas. Aunt Jamie and Uncle Tim got Jackson a tickle me Elmo. He loves to tickle Elmo and says that "Elmo is funny"
I haven't put many pictures of Charlotte on the blog lately, (who am I kidding...I haven't put many pictures of ANYONE on the blog lately) so here she is at 20 months! She loves her babies, horses, and her new kitchen set Santa brought her!
So at least the vacuum Nana bought him was blue. He's going to make some lucky lady a good husband someday! Don't worry he also got a bat and ball from Uncle Josh and Aunt "Meena".
Santa came to grandma and grandpa Blevins house for Christmas. Daddy wasn't afraid to sit on Santa's lap and tell him how good he's been (he lied!)
Jackson on the other hand said hello to Santa when he first walked in the door, but when Santa suggested he sit on Santa's lap the floodgates opened and Jackson lost his marbles. He sat on mommy's lap while all the others visited with Santa and slowly started to warm up. He told Santa thanks for all his presents on Christmas morning, but that he still wanted a tractor.
He got brave enough to move to the couch with his security blanket and give a cheesy smile for the camera.
Santa was okay after he gave Jackson a big tractor out of his gift bag. Then he was brave enough to take candy from Santa. He still REFUSED to sit on his lap and would start crying if anyone mentioned it. Needless to say we dropped the issue and did not say another word to keep the peace.
Then he dug into his stocking. He got more candy and a package of big boy underwear (which we are not ready for yet, but it's nice to have them on hand)
The favorite stocking gift was a pair of Elmo PJ's which he wore that night!
Spoiled boy! But you haven't seen anything yet!
Jack opened all his presents from Aunt Lynette and Uncle Lynn, but we braced him for the one big one. This is his face at the unveiling of his new powerwheels arctic cat ATV!
In hot pursuit of his new "big truck".
It was dark outside when he got it and couldn't drive it outside, so he proceeded to climb in and out of it for the next 2 hours. He would take down the tailgate and put his shovel in, then climb back in and pretend to drive. It was the first thing he asked for the next morning.
