Happy Birthday Party to Me!

Wow! Jackson had quite a birthday party! He woke up singing "Happy Birthday Party to Me." He was very excited for his big day! He had 14 of his friends join in his celebration (and I thought we'd struggle to get enough people to come because we just moved here). The kiddos each got bug boxes and nets to catch their "bugs" in, a jump house, bubbles, toys, and lots of yummy food!

Jackson was on cloud nine having all his friends at his house. Everyone seemed to have a great time. He received so many awesome gifts! He has played with all of them LOVING each and every one! Everyone was so generous and sweet! I cannot thank all of you enough for helping make Jackson's birthday so very special.

After the party we hung with the cousins and then went swimming. After all that excitement we went to dinner at Manny's (mommy's choice). Jackson was worn out when we got home so he cuddled in bed with Grandma and watched a show. At the end of the day he crashed, and so did the rest of us! We were all in bed by 8:30! Happy birthday party to you, Jackson! I hope you had a very special day!

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

The Cup

I walked into the kitchen and spotted a blue solo cup on the counter. The following conversation played out in my head: "Whose cup is this? Which kid took out yet another cup? Didn't I ask them to stop getting a new cup every time they needed a drink? What is wrong with these people? They obviously don't ever listen to me." In the midst of my frustration, I realized the cup was mine. Oopsies. Good thing I didn't speak those words aloud. I went on with my life and my to-do list leaving MY cup right where I found it. I am the grown-up and can leave my cup where ever my grown-up heart desires. I came back into the kitchen a little while later and saw the cup again. I completely forgot the cup was mine so I rehashed the above conversation in my head. I was baffled by who left that cup on the counter. And then I remembered it was me. Again. Y'all, I did this two more times throughout the night. It was like Groundhog's Day but I was the only one celebrat...

Baby on the Floor

Yesterday I was putting a couple of things in the closet for the baby of what is going to be the nursery. Jackson was helping me and asked me where the baby was going to live. I told him where and he was excited since the room is next to his. Later that night Scott and I asked him where the baby was going to sleep and he responded by telling us that the baby was going to sleep in his room. When I asked him where in his room he told me, "on the floor." Scott antagonized him telling him that the baby would not sleep in his room but in the nursery. Jackson got mad at him and yelled over and over again that the baby was sleeping in his room on the floor. Oh my...it starts already!
