Cheerioooooooooos!

I don't know about the other moms out there, but the thing that would drive me crazy before having MY kids was other kids making a mess of my house.  Now, it's just not a big deal as evidenced my the following pictures! :) Jackson has been getting back in the stage of loving his cheerios, and he found the jackpot and was so very proud of himself....the littler stinker :)

"Hum...how did that happen, I better try and fix it!"

 "But wait, there's more in there still!"

  "I think I've almost got them."

 "Wait one second. Mom, why am I wasting time digging for some in there, when I have all of these ones around me?"

   "This one looks like a keeper!"

"Yep....this one's really good!"

  "Look mom, look at the fun mess I've made!" :)

Jackson's 1st drawing

So the other day I was at Walmart, and I decided it was time to get Jackson some crayons! I was really excited to get home and see how he would do with them. I was surprised at how fast he picked up the idea of drawing with them...what a little smarty! :)  I've saved the paper in his baby book so he can always have his first drawing! :)  

 Jackson's first masterpiece!

 Pretty proud of himself

Project of the month...

It's been a while since I've been able to do a project...I just don't have any free time on my hands, its been being filled with two very cute crazy boys!  But Don picked out some yarn for me and told me I should make a hat that was similar to Jacksons. So I did, and I think it's super cute! I've attached an old picture I took of Jackson's as well. It's so fun and easy, I just make it up as I go and hope it works out. :) I think adding the little ear flaps is so fun.  Everywhere we go we get comments on the hats and people are always telling me I should try and sell them....one day maybe!

The yarn Don picked

 The finished product 

  It's like he knows he's super cool because he's wearing it....smart little boy :)

Giving mom a little smile..he melts my heart with his smiles, it makes all the challenging times worth it in the end!

Pretty soon Lincoln will be this big! They grow up so fast!

The AVENGERS!!!!

So this last Saturday Don and I went on a hot date! :) (With Lincoln)  We went and saw the movie Avengers. We got some movie tickets for Christmas and we have been saving them for this movie! And we were not disappointed.  The movie was amazing, it was very well done, and....we saw it in 3D! My very first ever 3D movie!  It wasn't as special as I thought it would be, but still fun.  Don actually ducked a couple of times when things were falling in the movie. Lincoln did pretty good, we had to take turns standing with him for a while, but over all he was a champ! I would rate the movie a 9.5 out 10! By the way, I'm kind of embarrassed to show these pictures because those 3D glasses are not very attractive! :) Also, I got a haircut that day too! It's VERY short, but I'm loving it!

 I've attached the movie trailer for those who are interested.

The funnest thing in the world....a box!

So the other day I went to Costco and they put all my groceries in extra boxes they have, so Don got a brilliant idea...and Jackson loves him for it! :)  For several days all Jackson wanted to do was ride in the box while one of us pulled him. I think the best thing in the world is seeing a child so ecstatic over something so simple and easy!

 "Really? Really? I have the best life!"

Reasons Jackson LOVES Summer weather!

1. He gets to play in the backyard with dad and make funny faces on the windows.

 2. He gets to lounge on the grass on a blanket with his dad....doesn't get much better than that!

 3. He gets to go for walks

 4. He gets to play at the parks with other kids and  play on the swings

5. He gets to play in the water and play with his toys outside! 

 We are loving the beautiful days here and enjoying playing outside with the boys! Hope everyone else is enjoying the weather!

My sister Sharee

So I hate to brag, but I have the BEST sisters in the whole world! Below is a picture of us sisters at my sister, Rachelle's wedding. Sharee is the one on the right.  The weekend before last, Sharee flew here to visit me! I know she came to help with the kids and to give me a little break, even if she does keep denying it. :) She helped out so much while she was here, I even got a little nap in on Saturday. Jackson just fell in love with her, he followed her every where she went!

 While I was taking a nap, Jackson woke up from his nap and needed to be changed, so Sharee tried to change him, but couldn't find out why his shirt didn't fit.  Low and behold it was Lincoln's(0-3months).  He looked so cute in it, I think I'm going to start buying muscle shirts for him :)

Then we all went to the park and Jackson got to play on the swings, he loved it!...."Look mom, no hands!" Such a talented little guy!

 Sharee had the magic touch and was able to get Lincoln to fall asleep, and STAY asleep! Such a blessing! Thanks again Sharee for everything, we already miss you! :)
