We were in the grocery store and Abigail asked me what BFF spelled. I told her what it stands for and she told me "Me and Natalie are BFF's". Jackson quickly said "well me and Brandon are SOB's".

I said "yes son you are."

some funnies

Hi all,

I'm trying to post more. I actually am going to try to do a post everyday but we'll see how I do. We've had a few funnies lately and I thought I'd add them in before I forget.

The other day Jackson says "mom look it's Sammy O Sam!" I couldn't figure out who he was talking about, so I said "who is that?" and he said "You know MOM, from Bugs Bunny". It still took me a minute, because he has left me with very few brain cells, but I finally figured out who he was talking about. Yosemite Sam!

Abigail was fighting with getting her bike in the garage the other day and couldn't get it to fit between 2 things. I showed her what to do and said "just turn the handle bars like this" and she looked at me and said "Well what are you some kind of Garage Genius?". Yeah I know it won't be so funny it 8 years when she's a teenager asking me if I'm a genius.

They made some ornaments at school for Christmas and she brought it home to me and said "We painted it the other day but we couldn't bring it home yet because we had to put them in the kennel." :)

Student of the month

It's kinda quiet but here is our Student of the month for November.

Well we have a snow day! The kids were so excited to see snow when they got up. I heard their excited voices looking out the door at all the piles of snow. I asked them if they wanted to go out and play in it and they cheered "Yeah!". So I started digging out the snow clothes, bundling up, pushing and pulling and covering from head to toe. Then I sent Jackson outside while I worked on Abigail. Ok finally we are ready, I walk Abigail to the back door and just as we get there I'm greeted by Jackson who is ready to come in because....yes you guessed it...its cold. So I start the unbundling process with him while Abigail goes out to play with Jessie. And yes by the time I got him stripped down she was ready to come in. Now I'm ready for a nap.

Wrestling

Jackson started a wrestling club this week. He's a little young and we aren't sure how long he'll make it but he sure tries hard! He still wants to wrestle his way when it's all said and done.

A Conversation with Jackson.

While Jackson was folding the washcloths for me this was our conversation:

J: Mom, I like to climb trees.
M: Yes thats fun I suppose (thinking to myself he's never really done it)
J: But I don't like to climb Volcanoes.
M: well no I wouldn't either.
J: Because they can FIRE you and then you will get bleed on you and it will hurt really bad.
M: yes I suppose so.
J: Do skunks live on volcanoes?
M: uh, well no I don't think they do.
J: Good because skunks are mean and the will bite you and you will get bleed on you and they will eat you up.
M: hmm, I wasn't aware skunks were so mean.

J: Mom I love working with you.
M: I love working with you too buddy.
J: Now give me a kiss.

Abigail for President 2048

My daughter informed me on the way to the movies the other day that she was going to run for president. She was a little discouraged when I told her she would have to wait about 40 years but still convinced she could get people to vote for her. I asked her what she would do as president and after thinking for a minute she decided on the following:

1. Take care of the world.

2. Keep the earth clean.

3. Make more restaurants on the highways so people can stop and eat when they are hungry.

4. Build more roads for shortcuts.

So there you have it. Abigail for President 2048.

Halloween was fun! We had a Power Ranger and of course Hannah Montana. Every picture I took Jackson mad this face. He was very tough and loved the face paint. Abigail sang and pranced all day but quickly tired of the wig and decided to just be Miley. For those of you that don't know Hannah Montana or her story I will just say you are lucky! First I liked her but now I'm so sick of her I could scream!

First day of school

Yesterday was the first day of school. It was a lot of fun and I didn't even cry when I took my baby to first grade. She loved it and was so excited when they had 3 recesses!

Jackson had a meet and greet w/ his preschool teacher then he got to play so he's thinking school is pretty good.

the ride home

Of course this is what he looked like on the ride home. Notice the hand in the bag of cheetos.

summer fun!

Last night we went out to the ranch where Cary works to go swimming. Jackson wouldn't hardly get in the pool at first he just sat on the side. He slowly worked his way in swimming around with us and before we knew it he took off and we couldn't get him to stop! (lifejacket on of course).

This is when Jackson figured out that the water comes towards you and you need to run!!!!!!!!

And hopefully I'll figure out how to post more than one picture at a time.

Abigail is really enjoys taking pictures and posing. She was constantly telling me when to take a picture and where she wanted to be in the picture.

On the warpath!!! Jackson was in charge of keep all the varmints out of our campground.

The four of us took a camping trip to Newport this weekend. The kids didn't quite understand why we were going alone (we usually camp with a group of friends) but they quickly adapted and we had fun anyways much to their surprise! Jackson did befriend the boys in the camp next to ours but I think they got tired of him yelling "hey kid" whenever he wanted to play. I will add a few more pictures that we took. It was a beautiful weekend. Very windy but beautiful. We stopped at a great farmers market in Newport and then went to the OSU Hatfield Science Center where the kids literally ran from one tank to the next to look at all the marine life. Jackson loved the "applepuss" and Abigail loved the starfish!

Been awhile!

Well it's been awhile since I posted on here. Summer hit and life just went crazy! We literally haven't had a single weekend where we were not traveling somewhere. It's been insane! But it has been fun. Abigail celebrated her 6th birthday and is more than ready for first grade. I get lots of questions on "what first graders do" and "what first graders eat for lunch". I can't believe my baby will be in first grade. I also can't believe that Jackson will start 3 year pre-school! He will only go 2 days a week. I also can't believe that I will have 2 1/2 hours 2 days a week of blissful uninterrupted silence all to myself!!!!!!!!!

Grandma Rosie took them to the Aquarium in Newport yesterday and when I got home from work Jackson said "We saw an applepuss!" He was very excited.
