Jackson's First Day at Day Care!

This morning was Jackson's first day at his new daycare! We got him this lunchbox to carry because he LOVES banana's! This picture of him is too cute, I just wish his eyes were open! He was getting frustrated with me taking his picture! This was the hardest day I have had since I started back to work! He stood at the gate and cried this morning when I left and was saying "momma." I did okay until I looked back and saw his little hand reaching up for me and then I lost it! I made it to the car, but fell to pieces and began sobbing!!! I called Jonathan crying and he kept saying to me "He'll be alright!" I knew this, but I just needed someone to listen to me while I cried!!! I went back to get him this afternoon and he was playing and singing when I got there! When he saw me he had the biggest grin on his face and my heart melted! Everyone please say a little prayer for us that the rest of the week will get easier in the mornings...... for both me and Jackson!

River Fun!!!

We took Jackson to the cabin and hung out there for the weekend! He is starting to really love the water (which really excited us)! He had such a blast playing in his new "floating car" until He leaned over to give me a kiss and SPLASH.... he was going under! I managed to jump off my float and scoop him up while Aunt Tiff came to the rescue, too! It was scary at the time, but now seems funny! My little boy is growing up so quickly!!!!

RC Cola-Moon Pie Race

Jonathan and I went to Bell Buckle, TN for the annual RC Cola-Moon Pie 10 mile run. Jonathan and Michael Collier ran this year and Jonathan did great! He ran this one in 1 hr 18 min and 02 sec. I was so proud of him! THis is Jonathan and Michael enjoying their RC Cola and Moon Pie after the run!!!! CONGRATS GUYS!

HAPPY FATHER"S DAY!!!!

We spent the day with my dad and Jonathan's dad on fathers day!!! This is Jonathan's second father's day and each year I appreciate him more for what he does for us! I hope everyone had a wonderful father's day!!!

Jackson had such a wonderful time down at the cabin. We got him in the water and he seemed to really enjoy it! It is amazing how fast he is growning and the things he is learning!!! He did not really like his new life vest, but he tolerated it while he was in the water! LOL!

It's Lake TIme!

We have already been "testing the waters" this summer. We went to Rock Island this year for Memorial Day and had such an amazing time! We will leave first thing in the morning to Jackson to Rock Island for his 2nd trip in the water! (we got him in last year when he was about 7 months old). So, I guess all there is left to say is........ LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!!!!!

I was tagged by Ashley and Tiffany West

So, Here goes......



1. I am the worst nail/cuticle picker! I sometimes will even bite my fingernail! (YUCK... I KNOW) But I have recenlty been working very hard to over come this!



2. I can NOT go to bed with dirty dishes in my sink, dirty clothes on my floor, shoes/toys scattered around the house, or my bathroom door open! Sounds silly, but these are all rituals that I perform every night before bed! I even have Jackson helping me pick up his toys before he gets his bath! LOL! I believe I might have OCD?!?



3. Its essential that I have a VERY dark room to sleep! Absolutely NO LIGHTS or SUNSHINE... I blame it on all those years of working night shift!



4. I love SUSHI!!! This is the one thing that I miss so much about Knoxville!!!! I could live off SUSHI, but Jonathan and Jackson would not be so happy!



5. I love working with old people! I find it overwhelming to think of some of the things that our older population has lived throught... it is so enthralling to listen to their stories and see their photo's. It makes me cherish the memories I am making now more each day!



6. I hated being preganant.... I know everyone is supposed to say that it was the best experience ever! Well, HA! Not mine! I love my end result and I would ABSOLUTELY do it again without hesitation! Being pregnant is so hard on a woman's body and there are SO many changes that it's crazy!



7. I never go to sleep without checking to make sure Jackson is breathing... I know all mom's probably do this, but it makes me sleep more sound at night. I will not fall alseep unless I see him sleeping soundly!



8. I know this more than 7, but I also just realized that I will not drink out of a glass/can. I have to use a straw! I also hate too much ice! Jonathan thinks I am crazy, but I have always done this! LOL!
