Merry Christmas

Jackson was soo excited to get up Xmas morning and see that the cookies and milk we left for Santa was gone and the Reindeer food was gone. There was also a lot of prints on the deck from Santa's Reindeer. Jackson was really excited to show Jenna how to open gifts.
Books.. .boy does Jackson love books!!!
What more can I say... this little girl can light up a room with her smile. It is brighter than the brightest star in the sky!! She had fun ripping and trying to eat the wrapping paper and watching her brother.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.. he also went into "Happy Birthday to Jesus". Mom... "Jackson.. who's birthday is it". Jackson "Baby Jesus" Mom... "Where is Jesus.. Heaven and your Heart right.." Jackson.. "No Mom.. (laughs at me) Jesus is in my belly".. Mom .. (confused how Jesus got in his tummy).. "How did he get there...did you eat him?".. Jackson .. (laughs at mom again) "No Mom!!! That is where babies are". He cracks me up!
Barry and I decided not to do a lot of gifts since that is not what Christmas is about and the kids get spoiled rotten by family. BUT... we did get a Nintendo Wii.. I was very reluctant but after seeing it on the Today Show as a good form of exercise... and listed as a good item for Autism Spectrum Disorders. We played Boxing, Golf, Bowling and Tennis today. Jackson was kicking our butt at boxing and during most of his sessions KO'd the guy in the first round. It took Barry and I three rounds for most and a ton of sweat. WHAT A FUN THING TO HAVE. By the end of the day Jackson was able to do it all by himself and do a great job. One time today Jackson disappeared... we found him downstairs playing golf. We also spent the day playing our new games, taking pictures with the digital camera and enjoying our family time. I look at my family and can't help but hold back the tears. I am such a lucky mother and wife... God has Blessed me soo greatly. Merry Christmas.

A Special Visit From Santa

Santa came to visit us again this year. I put in a very special request to the North Pole and for the second year in a row Santa was able to come. The first picture is of Jackson getting his present from Santa... his first question for santa... Jackson "Where's the Reindeer??" Santa "On the roof".... Jackson... looks up "oh". Second picture is of Jenna looking at Santa in our front entry and third is of Daddy, Jackson and Jenna.. Jenna is still in a state of shock. She didn't cry or anything.. just couldn't take her eyes off of him. Jackson got special fruit snacks and Jenna got a toy. The day after Jackson kept asking for Santa snacks.. could not figure it out... We don't have Santa snacks... duh.. he meant the snacks that Santa gave him. He was soo proud.

Christmas at the Farm

We are thankful for soo many things but got a very big eye opener this year when Perry went into the hospital. We have a wonderful, amazing family and eating supper on Saturday night at the farm without Kathy and Perry was just not right. We were soo thankful that he is healthy enough to be home and we got to spend some time with Kathy and Perry on Sunday. Here are some pictures from our time at the farm. Jackson got a Vtech digital camera... and he LOVES it. Jenna just loves trying to eat the wrapping paper!

Ho Ho Ho... Heres Pictures with Santa

Ok.. here is our visit with Santa Clause. There would have been more pictures of Jackson but the setting on the camera was not right and the pictures turned out blurred. Jackson wished for a big straw (don't know where that came from and a hellicopter.

Icky Yuckies

Well we have been battling the stomach flu in our family... not just our family at our house but at my sisters too. This is the worst case of the stomach flu in the aspect that it is soo catchy. Jenna had it on Sunday and so did Melissa, then Jackson had it on Wednesday, then Ryan, then Barry on Thursday and Hunter on Friday. YUCK... that is all I have to say. We are all very dissapointed that we had to cancel Christmas in the cities this weekend but we really need to stay home and rest and not spread this crud!

My kiddos were AMAZING.. they just took it like big kids and did soo good!! Mom has not gotten it yet... well, not the throwing up part yet and I refuse to. Thank you to Grandma B for rescuing us two times in the last week!! You coming here to help us was soo amazing!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

Ok.... I get it.. time for an update

I turned 30 this past week... yep.. BIG 30. Friday my sister took me to get a pedicure and then took me all around town to get tupperware... well, she was stalling so everyone could get to my surprise birthday party. Thank you to everyone who had a part of this surprise event. What a fun surprise to a hecktic week. I don't have any pictures of the party yet since I didn't have my camera but my mom did.. so once she emails them to me I will post them here. Yesterday I took part in a holiday one stop shop event and my purses were a HIT!!! I booked two parties and am very optimistic that this is a good business for me!!!! Anyone interested in booking a party... let me know. They are fun and harmless and you get FREE PURSES!! Sunday was no end to the crazyness. We ended up staying home from church and cleaned our house from top to bottom... and around noon Jenna threw up all over the place. This was projectile vomiting. I have spent the rest of the day rocking her and taking care of her. Poor thing. I hate laying her down. Soo scared that she will puke again. Now.. whether in my head or not... I am getting a messed up tummy. So.. that is my update.. sorry there is nothing too exciting, but I will put pictures up later from the party!!
