Having fun with sidewalk chalk

I bought Jackson some 3D sidewalk chalk and looky how much fun they are having.. and it really really works good.. we soon realized that you can use any sidewalk chalk and look through 3D glasses and wallah... here is Richard showing Jackson fun new designs.. this has been such a fun little thing for us.. and only $4.00 at walmart.. wahoooo!

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.. :)

wow

Litterally wow... where did all the time go??? I have been so busy with work, funerals, Richard, funerals, Jackson, funerals that I have neglected my blog.. so here ya go.. March was busy for us. Started out with Grandma Ginnys funeral which was absolutely beautiful and very peaceful and then back to work for us.. Jackson has been playing soccer on the weekends and karate during the week..

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.
