2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It’ll be done this year. (I won't take the whole year...don't worry)

Tiffany took some amazing pics of the boys! I love how the turned out! Thanks Tiff!
We had such a fun time with Mikkel and Parker when they came and visited. Thanks Mikkel for all you did for me. I am so lucky to have such amazing seezters, and that my kids have cousins close to their age!

Holy Betty!

I stayed up really late the other night making and decorating cookies. It was really fun! I like creating things and feeling like I got something done. I had one of those rare moments where everything went right:
1.Not one burnt cookie!
2.Exact amount of frosting - when does that ever happen?!?! Luckily not a drop left over to nibble.
3.Just enough saran wrap - I really thought I would be making a trip to the store for just saran wrap.
4.My kids and husband were sleeping, no interuptions and no little hands.
5.1 batch of dough made enough for Austin's school party, Billy's work, The Hospice House, a special friend's birthday, the ladies I visit teach, Billy's home teaching families, and fortunatly none for me.



I had my own little Betty Crocker moment making cookies in an apron I made a few months ago, until I realized that someone had to clean up the mess and that someone was me! HAHA
- I hope you all have a HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

Jax Update

My little baby is getting so BIG! The first year goes by so fast. I can't believe he is 5 1/2 months old. WHAT! And just when I don't think he can get any cuter - HE DOES!


I love his eye lashes! :)


Jackson is now eating solid food and loves it! He eats peas, beans, squash, carrots, rice cereal and bananas. He can roll over both ways, but now does NOT want to be on his back. At night he will turn over and won't go back to sleep because he refuses to rest his head. Funny baby! I love this child so much and am thankful for every moment I get to spend with him! I am trying to prevent him from crawling. Austin was crawling at this age. I am surprised how far he can get by just rolling and wiggling.

6th Picture in the 6th Folder Tag

I got tagged to post the 6th Picture in the 6th folder on my computer. So here it is...



It's crazy how you can forget about old pics. This was fun to see what picture would show up. This is Carson at age 2. He is so stinking cute! I love taking the boys to the park and playing outside.... When will it ever WARM UP?????
Jackson is going to be this age in no time and not sitting here on my lap trying to push all the computer buttons...is that a tear in my eye?? Wow... so many emotions in one little picture.

I tag Linsey, Brooke, Pam, Jandi, Sherin, KT, B.J. and whoever else hasn't been tagged or would like to do it. Let me know!

Can this kid get any more adorable!?!?!?!





Mia and Carson crack me up. They are always side by side. It is so hard not to take pictures of them.

I LOVE my kids!

So, I'm sitting here feeding Jax, and Austin comes in and has two baggies with coins in them and says he has separated some of his money. One for him and one for his little brother Carson to spend at the Family Night at the school tomorrow. I just think it is so sweet that he would give his hard earned money to the kid that can not possibly annoy him anymore on any given day. Then he shows me all his school work - almost everything is 100%, then sits down and does his homework with out being told! I LOVE this kid! He just picked up Jax (for the 2nd time ever) and is making him smile. Now, (this has taken me a while to write, cuz Jax keeps needing something) he is taking out the trash. WHAT! I LOVE this kid! I do not know what I did to deserve my kids. (Do you think he wants something?)

My kids are earning beans for different things such doing their chores or practicing piano. They get to spend them on things like going to a movie or a toy. Carson is my little helper during the day and waits for me to change Jax's diaper and then shouts "BEEEEEEEEEEEAN"! It makes me laugh every time. His friends always seem so confused as to why someone would be happy about throwing a diaper away.

AND, Jax slept though the night!!!!!

So, for those of you that are worried about me while Billy is in Antarctica for almost 3 weeks, I am doing good. I do miss Billy, but I hope he is having fun freezing with the penguins.



I was going to put a cute pic of penguins making a heart with their beaks, BUT this was way funnier to me! I am laughing my head off! Maybe I am not as good as I say I am?!?
