Re-creating a picture from last years Christmas pictures.

I have a 5 year old today!!!

Yikes!! How can Jackson be 5 already?! Time seriously needs to slooooow down!!

5 things about Jackson:

He's helpful
He's happy
He's cute
He's smart
He's loving

Of course I'm his Mom, so I'm a little biased, but he's a pretty good kid!! Our family wouldn't be the same without him!! Now that he's in school it's even more fun to see him and Jacob both excited to see each other and play. They play so well lately and I love hearing them laugh at each other.

My baby starts Kindergarten Monday!!

We just got home from Howbert Elementary's Open House... Boy was that hard!! It really hit me and I found myself holding back tears!! His teacher is Mrs. Starkey. Small world.. Her daughter is attending college in Spokane!!

$20 Craigslist find!!

I found this swing set on Craigslist yesterday for $20... Went and traded my jeep for Jes' truck at his work and went and got it!! The boys love it!!!

Seahawks!!

Jackson and Jacob are ready for the Seahawks game tonight!!

Jacob's 1st haircut!!

Jacob's curls are so cute, but becoming unruly so I gave him a haircut!! He looks instantly older now :(

Not quite my plans for this morning...

Jackson had a kiwi right before bed last night and kind of complained of his mouth hurting. I somewhat questioned if he was having an allergic reaction, but figured it was just a ploy to not go to bed. Jes and I checked on him throughout the night and this morning he woke up with a swollen shut right eye and blotchy face!! Yikes!! I called Jes and he said to get him Benadryl so I ran next door to our neighbors and asked her if she would come sit with him while I ran quick. He wasn't feeling 100% and running to the store was the last thing he wanted to do. I gave him Benadryl at about 8:30 and then called the pediatrician just to make sure I didn't need to take him in. They suggested the ER and I'm glad I took him in. No more kiwis in our house!! Jacob kept calling for 'ack ack' from below the hospital bed.. He wanted to sit with him. It was too cute!! Hope you're all having a better may day than I am!! Haha
