Some video's of Jackson getting his groove on and working that MO JO!

Jackson "slow dancing" (slow walking around the dance floor) with his new girlfriend.

More booty shaking! Can't keep up with him!!

You can hardly see Jackson in the back dancing with his girl friend!!! They were soo cute. He kinda leads like his dad....

Our first wedding celebration






My step sister Cindy got married over the weekend so Jackson, Jenna and I packed up and traveled to "the Big City" (as Jackson calls it). We stayed at Papa and Nana's house on Friday night and played there on Saturday until it was time to head to the church. Since Daddy had to work I was a little stressed about taking care of both kids on my own during church and then trying to keep things under control at the reception. Well, not only was the ceremony beautiful, it went GREAT!! Jackson was very well behaved and played with the items I put in our activity bag. Jenna just loved looking around and watching everyone and everything. After that we took a break at Grandma and Grandpa Steves house and then went to the reception. AGAIN... very nervous!!!! But.. Jackson proved to me that he is growing up. He was very patient (keeping in mind he is a 4 year old) while wating for his kids food to come... he passed the time by clinking on the glasses like they do when they want the bride and groom to kiss.... but he made a game out of it and would clink the glasses and then he would have to kiss one of the family members at the table. It was very cute and welcomed by all! Jenna, again.. just loves noise, people and chaios.... so she was in heaven. Now by this time it was getting late and I was wondering how long the kids would hold out. We had supper (which was WONDERFUL) had cake and then waited for the DJ to start playing. Jackson was READY to dance!! Turns out there was a girl who was 3 1/2 there and had a webkins too... There was an INSTANT CONNECTION!!! :) Lord help us! Here are some pictures... the next post will have a few videos of Jackson and his girlfriend dancing. Happy Mothers Day to all of you. It also happens to be my hubbys birthday today... what a great day. Jenna surprised me with a great necklace with her birth stone in it! I am soo blessed to have such a great family. (Love the picture of Jackson loving up Jenna).. and the look on her face....

Little girls are made out of... piggy tails..





I really did not ever believe that I would be dressing up a little girl, doing piggy tails and fun girly things. Don't get me wrong, I love my son "to the moon and back" but I am loving the girly stuff. Here are just a few pictures of Jenna and her hair styles!

The first picture was my first attempt at piggy tails.. ever with Jenna. She looked more like an alien and less like a cute little girl. Second picture is my second attempt at piggy tails and they worked!!! But as you can see in the fourth picture.. that is what they look like after a 3 hour ride to the cities, with a bonnet on and a good nap! The third picture is just soo darn cute and my first style I tried on her for the wedding we attended for my step sister Cindy on Saturday.

Roller Skating and Butt Rash....






What a combination right! Jackson was sooo excited to get his roller skates out... and he did GREAT with them. We went up and down the road and visited our neighbors driveway which is really slanted so Jackson got a fun ride down the hill. On the way back he saw his speech teacher Patty and her daughter walking. "Who is dat girl Patty". Its my daughter. I said, her daughter is cute.. Jackson pipes up "YOU A HOT CHICKIE".... laugh laugh laugh!!! Her daughter loved that and asked if she could take Jackson home! Jenna went with us but just had fun watching her brother and taking in everything around her. Jenna is on her last day of antibiotics and just like last time she got a bad butt rash...BAD. So the last picture is of her sitting on a towel on our kitchen floor eating a gluten free muffin.... naked from waist down... Trying to give her some time to air out. Poor thing... it looks soo painful!

Dance Dance Dance

First I have to apologize for my constant laughing and the wiggling of the camera during this video but I had been watching Jenna dance and every time I got the camera out to film it she would stop. I finally got her on video. Watch her right leg.. she shakes it and it just cracks me up. After she figured out I was videoing her she started giving me attitude. I was laughing soo hard!

Soo many pictures... so little time






So this weekend we added some cypress mulch to our flower gardens, played baseball, enjoyed the sun and wonderful weather, baked and cooked a TON of gluten free stuff... yum and took our first of many trips to the ZOO!! It is 5 minutes away if that so we are frequent visitors through out the summer. Jackson and Jenna enjoyed it throughly!!! At one point I was nervous the bear was really trying to figure out how to eat Jenna for a snack. He kept coming right over to us and checking her out. Enjoy the pictures and video's!!!!

Spring is finally here????? I DO say that with some hesitation.






I have said it before... and we just got 15 inches of snow... dare I say it again.... spring is here?? Yesterday we were able to be outside for the better half of the day and enjoyed ourself soo much. We even got come cypress mulch for our flower gardens. We have wanted to do that for a long time. The kids loved being outside despite it is still a little wet. In some of the pictures you will see the pond behind our hedges.. hopefully that will dry up soon. Jackson is practicing up for t-ball this summer. I am excited since this is his first "big boy" activity. We have done swimming lessons and gymnastics.. but this is all about him!!! Jenna helped me plant my hanging flower pot. I KILL everything so I am going to give this a go. We'll see. And finally, pictures of toes in the grass.... my FAVORITE thing. I HATE HATE HATE shoes and socks... so in the summer we all go barefoot as much as possible.
