Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Here's my little green boy!!! He wore the headband all through WinCo. Everyone thought it was cute. I think he actually forgot I had put it on him.

YUM!!!

It's definitely a blueberry muffin day for me today. It's been rainy and windy. I've been tired... just one of those days that I can finally relax from my busy life. I got the house picked up and laundry folded and put away. Jackson got 5 shots last Monday and has been pretty grumpy since so right now he's taking his second nap of the day. He's been asleep since 5... so I should probably wake him up soon so he'll sleep tonight. It's our 2nd night without Jes here. He started his firefighting internship and is on shift 24 hours, then off for 48 on top of work and school. Needless to say, we don't see much of him and he is really missed here! Hope you all have a wonderful week!!!

My Silly Boy!!!

My co-worker took a bunch of pictures of Jackson just playing at the park.
sporting mom's sunglasses... i think they look better on him!
Practicing Rockband. (our friends brought it over)
just enjoying another day of Dr. Phil (haha)
Check out my $5 sandals!!! :)

Hail

I was making cookies this afternoon and I looked out and saw that!!! Like my mom said, crazy weather for March!!!

Big balls of hail! Even Jackson was appalled looking outside with me.

Happy Birthday to Jes!!!

Thanks to those of you that helped me figure out what to make this say!!! I think it turned out really good... and it's hiding from Jackson until we get home tonight from the Portland Trail Blazers game. Jes is such a hardworking guy, he didn't even ask for his birthday off... Just in case you can't read what it says I'll translate.

Happy Birthday Jes!!! Hey you Big Hunk! You're worth way more than 100 Grand to Jackson and me. It's like we're the 3 Muskateers. I'm lucky you skittle'd into my life. We've had plenty of Snickers and Mounds of fun. You're our lifesaver and we love you so much! Love, Janessa and Jackson... then there's a floating payday and twix. :)


So... since we're going to the Blazer's game tonight and Jes had to work and the game is right by his work... we took him there this morning so we won't end up with 2 cars in Portland. Jackson and I headed back towards Vancouver heading to WinCo and he fell asleep, soc I when we got home I figured he's tired, so I'll put him down... after finishing the candy bar chart I heard him cracking up in there... this is what I found!!!

HELP!

I've been trying to figure out what to do for Jes for his birthday. Today I finally figured it out... well sort of. I'm hoping for some suggestions. So far I've made this big poster board out of 9 sheets of colored paper and now I'm trying to decide what to make it say. I want to do one of those candy bar charts. Here's the 2 ideas I have so far that I found online. Anyone willing to help me out is welcome! I think both these ideas are kind of odd... but do-able.



Idea #1

Happy Birthday Jes!! Now that you're 22, do you hear a (symphony) of (snickers)? Do your bones (krackel) and (crunch)? Does the old (bun) feel a little (chunky)? Do you act like a (butterfinger)? Have your (whoppers) turned into (milk duds)? Have the old (whatchamacallit) gone to (mars)? Don't worry, stay (carefree)... We still think you're worth (100 Grand). Love, Janessa and Jackson

Idea #2

Happy Birthday Jes!! We love you so much, we get the (skittles) when we're with you. You are (mounds) of fun and always make us (snicker). You are so (kissable). On your (extra) special (payday) you can travel to (New York) or the (Milky Way) and see a (starburst) as you (orbit). You are such a (lifesaver) because you always make us smile. Celebrate by doing the (twix) dance. (Hugs and Kisses), Janessa and Jackson


So please... if any of you are better at this than me, share!!! :)



Jackson's doing good. He's getting so big!!! Last night Jes asked me if I thought he was getting taller and I think he is. He's been taking 3-4 hour naps. It's nice, don't get me wrong... just not normal. I'm not complaining though.

Here he is sporting a pair of my glasses.

Family Gathering

Here's my brother Jeff... home from Cuba with all the nieces and nephews that were there. Sorry about Jackson's binky. It was a binky picture or he'd be crying just like Lydia next to him.
