Library Day.....

Took the kiddos and Mason to the Library today..... One of my most favorite things to do is go to the Library.... One of these days I'm going to get to go to the Library by myself and sit out on the back porch in a rocking chair and read a book! Dawson chose a Animal book and Jackson chose a shark book (big surprise)... Not quite sure what his obsession is with Sharks, but he loves them... He enjoyed Shark week last year... 24 hrs./7 days of sharks last summer..... UGH....

HSN is GREATEST company to work for.....

I love packages from HSN.... Even if it is just Method hand soap... HSN (the company I work for) is always sending their employees something in the mail! I just love it when I see a HSN box in my mailbox!

SO ABSOLUTELY EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!

Found out yesterday ........




Some of our family is expecting a baby come October.....




I'm very excited......




Can't hardly wait....




I hope it's a GIRL!!!




My brother called yesterday to let us know our trip to Hawaii is cancelled due to the fact that he and my sis-n-law are expecting a baby......



We are going to try and take a small trip somewhere before my sis-in-law gets too big.....



Hopefully, we can do Hawaii next year......... I'm not even upset about not getting to go to Hawaii - I'm so "stinking" excited about my new neice or nephew....

Playing in the Toy Box....

I caught Jackson playing in his toy box today... I thought he was too cute....

Snow days and Chuck E. Cheese....

It's Saturday morning and I'm glad to report I feel so much better! I had some kind of virus Friday... ALL DAY AND NIGHT.... I was on the couch or in the bed.... I had lunch plans with a friend but had to cancel - It just wasn't happening for me...... It was awful! Hopefully - No one else in my household gets it....

On Thursday, Dawson was out of school because of snow, so I decided to take the kids to do something they enjoy! CHUCK E. CHEESE!!! They had a good time and I was glad to get out of the house for a little bit.....

Jackson bonding with Durham....

This was Tuesday... It's Wednesday and Durham is gone!

Friday January 25, 2008

Friday night... Some of our friends and their children, David, Dawson, Jackson and myself rode in the van to Mcminnville, Tn for Bro. Snowden's Ordination service.... After service, we went to Bro. Snowden's reception at Gondola and then we headed home... We got home around 2:30 am... Very tired, but glad we went - we had a fabulous time hanging out with friends!!!


I will post pictures later....

Durham Marshall....

This is Durham.... David acquired Durham from a man he did a job for last week..... We had Durham for like 7 days and David took him back to his owner today.... He's very loud (barks a lot), he was tearing everything up he could get his mouth on, Spencer hated him, dog hair everywhere (I couldn't handle that), and more reasons that I can't remember at the moment....... I'm kind of sad that's he's gone, but he was really like having another kid to take care of during the day and I don't have time for that........

Durham posing after he'd just torn up a piece of my photo abumn that my father-in-law

brought me back from Chile...

Jackson has been eating cookies this afternoon or so I thought he was eating cookies... He eats the icing and then throws the cookie part in the floor... He does this with any kind of candy as well - he throws the paper in the floor.... I told him several times to pick the cookies up and go throw them away and finally he looked at me and said "I'm getting tired of this - I'm losing my patience with you..." He told David the same thing the other night when David asked him to pick up the candy papers in the floor.... He's a mess!

My son and his silly faces....

My Anniversary Gifts....

My new purse.....

My "most" favorite perfume!

I'm very impressed.... My husband actually went and purchased these items for me at Macy's for my anniversary.... He usually either buys me a gift card or gives me money, but he actually took the time to go shopping for me and picked out these items........ He knows Coco Perfume is my most favorite perfume, and he knows I love anything - nine west! I just love them! I've worn Coco for about 5 years now and he loves it too! Did I say how impressed I am? Wow... What a guy!

Our Gym.... Snap Fitness....

We've been members since Nov. 1 and I've only been about 5 times.... Awful... I'm working to correct that! We were members at the YMCA last year and I finally canceled that membership - too much money and too far to drive! My kids loved the pool! Jackson wouldn't stay in the nursery, so I couldn't go to workout.... My gym now doesn't have a nursery, but I can go late at night after Jackson is in the bed and he never knows I'm gone....

My favorite part about the gym is the tanning bed....

Monday January 21, 2008

I took off all weekend and it sure was nice..... I really needed that.... I had a wonderful weekend! I was off today as well(Monday).... A couple of friends and I had reservations at the Melting Pot tonight, but we cancelled them because we have church and one of my friends had to go out of town unexpectedly...... Oh well, we are definitely planning another night to go.... They were running a special and it was very cheap considering what it usually is....

We celebrated our Anniversary on Friday night.... We stayed at Union Station in downtown Nashville...... My mother-in-law kept Dawson and Jackson for us(Thank you)....... We really enjoyed our night... It was very nice... Our actual anniversary wasn't until Sunday, January 20.....

Friday January 18, 2008

I walked in the livingroom and found Jackson laying on Mason.... Poor Mason... Jackson thinks Mason is there for his own personal use.... He loves Mason dearly....

Thursday January 17, 2007

I found Jackson watching Diego with his Mr. Potato Head's glasses......

I decided to get out today for a little bit, so we went to Bellevue Mall and the kids played on the playground for a while.....

We went to the gym tonight and Dawson begged to go with me, so he did and he worked his little self to death!

walking on the treadmill

lifting weights....

doing sit-ups...

He said he's trying to lose weight for Mckayla.... He gets to see her next Friday, boy is he excited!
