I think Vancouver has officially started it's rainy season! I must say we're enjoying it so far. Ask me in a couple months though and I'll probably be tired of it. When it rains, it's perfect, not too hot and not too cold. Yesterday I "interviewed" for a nanny job. It wasn't that difficult. I went to their house and they were like, "Can you start Thursday?" I'm excited to be able to work while having Jackson with me. Kevin and Jamie have 2 little boys. Nolan is 3 and Aiden is 1. They played a lot yesterday morning with Jackson while I was there and they all seem to get along very well. I'll only be watching them on Thursday's and Saturday's. It's still nice to have something to contribute to our budget. Along with the good news, comes the bad... it will be more difficult to come home on weekends since I'll be watching the boys on Saturday's. Both of their grandparents live here in town, so with ample notice, I can get a Saturday off if need be. We're planning a trip to the coast in September for my birthday! Jes' parents are going as well and going to rent some sort of beach house or condo. I'm excited for the shopping as well! I hope you all have a good day!
This afternoon we were in the car driving and on the temperature deal it said it was 107 degrees!!! I think that may just be telling how hot it is in the car, not outside. Although, it was very hot today... and still is!!! When we got home I decided to get in Jackson's little kiddie pool with him. He had a blast!!! I put his slide in it and he enjoyed sliding into the water and getting splashed!! It's only 6:45pm and he's asleep already... I'm sure he won't sleep too long. Never know though with him getting worn out in the sun today!!
A Blast from the Past20 years ago...I was 1... almost 2, so probably the biggest brat ever! Those terrible 2's I gave my parents will catch up with me shortly!!! My parents drove a huge 10 passenger van! We lived in Umatilla, Oregon at 19 Martin Drive.
So Innocent!!
10 years ago...I was 11 almost 12. Once again, probably a big brat, I'm sure this will catch up with me. DARN!! I was just about to shave my legs for the first time ever. That's an exciting time when you're 12. I remember this so well because of the pictures my mom has of it. HA HA My parents drove a Red Ford Aerostar at that time I believe. We lived at 141 Reinken Blvd in Burbank, Washington.
ha ha I was a nerd!
5 years ago...I was 16...almost 17. I was still the biggest brat ever I'm sure... just ask my mom. I loved Stake Dances and BOYS!!! I had a lot of boyfriends that never lasted, but that's the fun of it. I was starting to drive... and starting to CRASH! I was nicknamed "Crash-Nessa" which I hated!!! When I drove, I usually drove the S10 which I wrecked or the Isuzu I-Mark We still lived in Burbank.
Glamor Shots!!
3 years ago...I was 18... almost 19. We had already moved to Walla Walla, Washington. Jes and I were almost married at this point. I'm sure I was doing wedding dress shopping and doing all the things you do before you get married. I drove a 1993 Mercury Sable. Jes drove is Big Jeep CJ 7. Jes worked at the Ice Berg and I worked at Applebee's. We were living in Walla Walla in Jes' Grandma Joanie's old house.
Me & Jes... sorry it's fuzzy!!!
1 year ago...I was 20... almost 21. I was usually cranky, and 38 weeks pregnant. It was hot, I was ready to have my little guy!! I spent most of my days in the pool floating around to relax and kill time... waiting and waiting! At this point I was probably even going into the hospital every other day. Jes and I went for nightly walks and I always had to slow down a bunch to endure Braxton Hicks Contractions. I believe some of those were actual contractions though. We still drove our 2000 Red Jeep Cherokee Sport. We lived in Jes' parents basement in Walla Walla on Frankland Street.
Sleeping... the best hobby!!
Yesterday... I cleaned the house and hung out with the little dude. We also had a nice trip to the Emergency Room due to Jackson falling and hitting his face on the bottom of the computer chair. He hit it right next to his left eye and it was pretty bad, but of course by the time he was seen it quit bleeding and he was calmed down. We're glad he was okay! We now live in Vancouver, Washington on E. 28th Street and we still have the Jeep and now a 2007 Chevy Malibu.
My little dude at the hospital.Thanks Mom for getting the first 3 pictures together for me!!
Well we just got back from the ER. Jackson fell at the bottom of the computer chair and cut next to his eye. It was bleeding and swelled up pretty bad, so it scared me. Anyways, he's doing good!! I guess it just scared me pretty bad!
Well, this past weekend we had some more company finally!! Dominic, Cassie and Giovanni came on Friday evening, we had dinner... (I made chicken in Italian dressing, baked potatoes and fruit salad.) It was yummy!! We just hung out for the evening at home since they'd been in the car most the afternoon. On Saturday morning we went to the Oregon Zoo!! It was so much fun to take the boys!! We had a blast! Giovanni and Jackson seemed to enjoy it too! I enjoy having company. Although we don't have a very big place, it all works out. Jes' parents camp out back and some sleep in the living room on an air mattress. It all works out. This coming weekend Jes' parents and little sister Alyse and her boyfriend Dalton are coming. Then the next two weekends we're going to Walla Walla. It should be exciting!!! We're planning a trip to the Oregon Coast for my birthday. I think we'll leave on September 20th in the morning and stay until Monday morning. This year has gone by way too fast!! Does anyone else see that? Maybe it's just because I have a baby and they grow so fast and keep you way busy! Anyhow, I hope you all have a good day!!
When we got home he was happy to help us unpack, probably because he loves his rolling fire truck suitcase!! He got in it, so I took him for a little ride. 
I hope I didn't bore you all too much... see you next weekend!!! =]
