check it out

So I remember when I would blog as much as possible and as often as possible and then I lost my drive after all those funerals.. well I have a new passion (relit) and for a little bit I felt like I was cheating on my blog cuz I have spent so much time doing this other that I have not even checked to make sure my blog still worked.. yikes.. well here is the culprit.. I know it looks a bit cluttered and it may be only because I have a couple of projects I am working on.. like beaded watch bands.. I will put pictures up in a bit, and I have scrapbook stuff out to make a thank you card and I have Jackson's box open to look at one of his scrapbooks.. well........that's right I GOT MY ROOM BACK!!!!!!!! It had become a disaster.. someone had taken over and I won't say who.. but it wasn't Jackson lol.. anyway I have even spent all night in here scrapbooking and making cards and even watchbands.. I have all my stuff within reach and love it.. I even have my cricut at my fingertips.. now it was not easy getting my side back but I did it.. I think I may have gotten a tad bit more than Richard but I was here first :).. it has been fun to come in here and work and him come in and load bullets... it is fun to hang out together.. so anyway there it is.. :)

Jackson

At Kristy's viewing Jackson was so cute in his new suit we bought him.. and we was trying to not get it dirty, stay busy and out of the way.. well about half way through I was wore out and went to sit down out front.. Jackson came over and said
"mom when you were a kid did you have walmart" so I told him how it used to be super small here and no Walmart here didn't come in till he was born and we had Kmart and payless and that was all we needed.. then he said "mom did you have phones when you were a kid" and I told him we always had a house phone but cell phones did not come out till my freshman year.. he said "what was that like 1950s???" he was serious.. I said what year is it.. and how old is your dad?? he is was older than me go pick on him.. lol.. what a kid....he says some of the funniest things.. and is serious when he says them..

I am way addicted

78%How Addicted to Blogging Are You?

Do you ever wonder??

Okay so Richard got a new phone in November and Jackson got his old phone to just have.. we barely activated it...we told him though to take pictures, record songs whatever he wanted.. just don't lose it..he packed that phone everywhere we went.. he always had it.. anyway when I activated the phone I was a bit curious as to what he has done with it.. so I listened to the sounds...wow.. he had recorded things from the TV like Zack and Cody, music, and just funny sounds, then I watched the videos and there were some really funny videos of him, the dogs and Christian.. but there was one that totally took the cake.. as I was watching it I was thinking it was pretty lame but then all of a sudden he dropped it on the mattress and began screaming and tossing the phone.. it was hilarious.. then I looked through the pictures and found some stinkin cute pictures that he had taken.. I added 2 of them.. but the little smarty takes great pictures.. so if you ever want to do something to entertain your kids.. give them an old cell phone or a camera..

Jackson's Valentines..

YAY!!! Thanks to the help of my sister in law Misty and http://www.familyfun.com/ I have finished Jackson's Valentines. They were super simple and went way fast and I am dang glad they are finished. The big box is out of a cereal box that I just covered and made look like an iPod. Jackson is way happy and I am glad they are finished. The little iPods are sweethearts that I rolled with card stock then used the http://www.familyfun.com/ to print off the wheel and screen. I usually wait to the last minute to do Valentines so I am way glad to be done.

Tuesday

Yesterday we ran to Richfield after Richard got off work and Jackson got out of school.. we ate a Pepperbellys and it was way yummy.. I have tried to get all of us together for a family picture.. its amazing how hard it is to find a time that we could get family pictures without having to rush off to somewhere...so their it is.. a family photo.. that is it for now.. sorry

My little boy..

So my dad loves to shoot guns, he is a very good shoot and well he has quite the collection.. Richard built him a beautiful 28 gun cabinet and he then filled it... anyways Sunday he called and wanted to go shooting so he came up and got Jackson, Richard then went and got Jason and Christian and headed to Mayfield for a clay pigeon shoot out.. I am sure they had a blast, the big boys are all very great shooters.. when Richard went to LEO (police academy) he won the shooting award.. I am so proud .. anyways after it was all done, Jackson wanted to shoot the shot gun. I am not sure who helped him, but he shot it and was so proud that he had. I was home sound to sleep as I had worked 16 hours the day before.. but when they got home Richard came in and woke me up and said "don't freak out" okay don't ever ever tell a mother that when you had her 9 year old out shooting guns.. I immediately thought someone got shot.. anyway he said the hammer kissed Jackson's eye... I said what the heck does that mean.. at that point Jackson came in and had a big old sore under his eye.. :( I was so upset and didn't know quite what was going on.. Richard said "It will probably go black" okay.. great thing no school Monday... thankfully it never went black.. my cute dad called about 20 minutes later and asked if I was okay.. he was so worried about me then he asked me if it had turned black and then he said..to make it all better "I will just have to buy him a 22 or something smaller.." perfect.. anyway since then Jackson has ran to the mirror every few minutes to see if it is bruised.... I just told him if it bruised I would just put makeup on it and then nobody will ever know hehehe.. what a day, what a kid.

Monopoly

So we bought Monopoly Sunday and we played till 2 in the morning.. I have decided that the boys in the house are way stubborn about trading...so in Monopoly the boys ruled but mom kicked their behinds yay!!! anyway we opted to buy the one with the electronic bank, so much better than the old one.. anyway we played 2 games yesterday and it took the whole day.. oh my.. we had so much fun, neither of them had school/work so that is how we spent the day, in our PJ's on the front room floor playing Monopoly..

Jackson's Sledding Birthday Party

Jackson's Birthday Party

So yesterday we took 9 kids and went sledding out by gunnison res.. one of Richard's friends brought his son and we all had a blast.. and nobody got hurt yay!!! We met at my house at 1000 and played till 1400... we roasted hot dogs and drank hot chocolate.. it was a blast.. Jackson made a haul on gifts so all in all it was great.. Jackson said it was the best birthday he ever had....check out the pix and video.. the video is of Richard and mark on the orange toboggan it is crazy.. the kids could get it to go across the road.. wow.. turn up the volume for the video.. it is hilarious what Richard says: "we are going to die.. we are going to die".. hahahaha..

Jackson's turning 9

I can't even believe Jackson is turning 9. just today he said, "I will be half way to 18" yikes...I am a total boob about it too. He was born January 11, 2000 at Gunnison Hospital, Jackson was 5 weeks early and weighed in at 6lbs6oz.. and 19 inches long. He was life flighted by ground to Utah Valley where he spent the first two nights with his dad and my mom as I was stuck at the hospital after birth I got sick.. Jackson had an ET tube for 4 days and the gavage for 8 days. 10 days later we left UVRMC with our very own 5 lb bundle of joy. Jackson has been though a ton in his 9 years... He was attacked by 2 German shepherds, got his tonsils out and had complications after, has lymphadema, been in the hospital several times.. watched his mom have 2 brain tumors, lost a st. Bernard to poison.. lost 3 great grandparents and 1 grandma. Jackson is a great kid, very smart and so cute. He is the light of my life and I have no idea what I would ever do without him.... Tomorrow we are going sledding for his birthday party.. I love Jackson a ton.
