Spagetti .... yumm!

Some Fun Videos of Jenna

Sorry.. I can't get the first video to go up and down... grr. It is of me singing our "Shake your little butt song" -- YAH.. I don't sing.. excuse the sound... but she loves to shake her bum to it. We have sung that song since Jackson was little. They do it right before they get into the bath tub..

The second video is of Jenna and her new trick. She is learning how to blow kisses. It is tooo cute!

Jacksons Sick, Bon Jovi, Daughtry, Tequilla.. Oh My

So got up this morning and found that Jackson was not feeling good. When I go in there I am usually singing "Good morning.. Good morning.. how are you this morning... good morning to you!!" (Ok... not this morning though. I was at Bon Jovi/Daughtry concert last night with some friends and lets just say I am not 100% today and cannot get myself to sing today!) Anyway... He said his throat hurts, he has a fever and a bad bad cold. After hanging out on the couch this morning and eating some gluten free pancakes and a bananna he is starting to get a little color and is actually smiling a bit. Poor guy. I am sure it is the same thing that is going through our house. Barry has had it the worst... and I have come to find out that Jackson milks his sickness a little like his dad does :) Oh well. So it is a day of resting on the couch, watching movies and chilling out. It is a rainy day so really not much else to do!! Haven't had a movie day in a long time.

Jenna's Photo Shoot

So I just wrote this super long post and it showed me an error.. just what I needed on a morning like this. To summarize.. Beautiful day yesterday so took Jenna out in her adorable summer dress and took pictures of her outside our home. She loved every second of it and I could not get her to even look at me much because she was in awe of all the birds chirping, people outside, cars zooming by.. etc.

Pictures didn't show up

I don't know why the pictures of the car and car seat did not show up.. so here they are. Added a cute picture of jenna in her had and with her soothie... which she hated at birth and has kinda taken a liking to lately. And a picture of Jackson with his favorites book. He was soo very proud of it and rightfully so he did a great job. No surprise among his favorites were pizza, color green, ferris wheel (didn't know that one) and Lion as his favorite animal.

Spring is Here

One of Jacksons FAVORITE THINGS... and ours too is ICE CREAM!!! So being it is spring, we had a great day we decided to walk to the "ice cream gas station" as Jackson calls it. He got himself some sherbert this time and so kindly shared it with Jenna. Well.. as you can see she enjoyed it very much and would not take her eyes off him. Licking her chops and smacking her lips until she got a little taste. It was very cute. We have another ice cream lover for SURE! Jackson wanted to help push the stroller (his webkins was in the back seat) and did a pretty good job once he realized that mommy needed to help steer. It was a wonderful wonderful day!

New Things

It may not be NEW... but it is new to us. We traded off my perfectly fine Mercury Montego (I am married to a farm boy who DOES NOT like cars) and got a Chrysler Pacificia. Now.. anyone that knows me knows that I am tight... (that is putting it lightly) with money so it kills me to trade off my fuel efficient car for this. BUT.. driving to Barnsville MN yesterday for some garage sales I got 28mpg... granted I was going 60... but still. Not too bad. We now have the option to fill up the third row of seats....I preface that with saying it will not be with additional kids of our own. :) I also have room to put more purses for my purse parties and as Jackson said... It is a cool cool car mom! He likes that there is NO sunroof in this one since the sun REALLY gets to him... and he doesn't like sunglasses. So he was pretty excited about that. Plus he has his own air controls in the back and own cup holders AND own place for movies. Ok.. I have warmed up to the idea!! We also got Jenna into her new car seat. SHe is too big for her other one and frankly I am getting a sore back from lugging her around in it. So we have converted. I LOVE the pink!!!
