Roof Raising





Our roof is rounding the bend of completion. Some good friends and family came and helped with some of the roof today, IN THE RAIN - and much was accomplished. Not much more to go now! I can't wait.

6 Months!







Jackson turned 6 months old a couple of days ago. We celebrated his "halfie" birthday at Grandma Bennett's, where cake with cool whip frosting was served. No worries, he was only interested in playing with the frosting and not with eating it.

We also celebrated by getting a 6 month checkup and immunizations! He is healthy and happy at 16.4 lbs and 26 inches. He started out BIG and is now smack in the middle. Halfie Birthday Jackson!

Flashback Friday

Once upon a time....


I took a trip in a plane for the very first time. I was 17 or 18 and about to graduate high school.

This trip was a choir trip to Disneyland.



I had some good friends although I was a huge nerd - but who isn't in high school?

No flashback video, but some cute pictures intead.


Jackson and Jasper are quite the pair. Jackson loves his "brousin" (Jas calls Jackson his brousin, half cousin, half brother).


He LOVES going out in the stroller.


And being outside. Here he is at one of Jasper's baseball games.



He is sitting in his bumpo here . . . although he usually only sits in it for like 10 seconds before he gets bored and wriggles free.








The roof is coming along!








Jasper at his first game.


And does this count as crawling??

oops

I can't figure out how to upload this DVD to my blog. So, maybe one day you'll be able to see it, but don't hold your breath!

Flashback Friday

It was 1999 at Utah State University. My roomates and I (left to right Me, Kandice, Becky (also my sister) and Keri) decided to make a movie.



It was entitled "The Heist"



Becky was the robber and I was being robbed.


She attacked, I fought back, and it was all captured on video. Stay tuned next week for the actual movie. That is, if I can figure out how to get it onto the computer from VHS form.

I was looking through Dave's old pictures, and found this one. Here he is holding Jasper as a baby.

It looks familiar doesn't it?

Since I'm awake anyway...

Since I'm awake and can't sleep as is the case around here lately, I thought I'd share the most embarrassing thing that has happened to me in a while with the whole world.

It's about 9:00, time for Jasper's bed, time for Jackson's bed, time for my bed. I suddenly realize, Yeah, its Tuesday - my Gilmore Girls disc has arrived and is waiting for me in the mailbox! Why don't I run go get it and watch an episode while I nurse Jackson to sleep. Yeah! So I run out barefooted to my mailbox to grab it. While I'm running out in the dark where no one else is, I have a brilliant idea to pass some gas as I'm on my way to the mailbox (or should I say windy). I noisily let out not one, not two but at least 5 huge farts. Ha ha, I laugh to myself, those were loud. Luckily no one heard! Ha! Then I look to my left and see a man about my age in a cap walking right by my mailbox. Maybe he didn't hear me. "Hi", I say. He puts his head down holding in laughter as he walks by me averting his eyes, "uh Hi ha ha".

Oh my heck.
