August Adventures

We are off to a good start with our intentions to visit the pool everyday for the next 2 weeks and Jackson is already planning on going tomorrow! It seemed a little cooler today so maybe the 100 degree temps have passed us. (We will hope.)

The kids are doing good and we are working on getting them in bed earlier. It's 8:45pm and they are currently in bed. We are going to hope they stay there!

My computer is sick. I'm afraid it may not make it. I'm still not quite sure what our options are...I just want to make sure all my pictures are saved. But I don't want to move a virus to my external hard drive at the same time:( Dang technology.

I happened to look at some houses yesterday and found one I really like. But, it's in the ghetto, if Chanute has such a thing.
The neighborhood doesn't look that bad, it just doesn't look that good either. I want to go look at it just to see what it's like inside.

Well I really don't have many adventures to tell about right now so I will be off....until next time...

Another day in the books...Jackson had his 4th swim lesson today. Maclaren and I watched patiently for 15 minutes...then went to take advantage of our 2 week Splash and Play pass. Jackson later told me he swam "all the way to the blue wope in one bwef". "All the way to the blue rope, in just one breath?" I replied.

I had a shoot with Anna-her 6 month shoot. She has the cutest smile, however, I'm not sure I was able to fully capture it.

Other than that our day was pretty uneventful. Oh, Jackson had Rawley over today. I'm not sure how that actually went. Jackson is a little bossy.

I have a little girl that's about to fall out on my leg so that's all.

Anna's 6 month shoot.

I did the color of Maclaren first...I really liked the shot but didn't love the picture, so I tweaked and like the "almost black and white" version better. Imagine that!

Another shot from Maclaren's recent shoot. Jackson didn't participate in the shoot but we still got a few shots, photos to come...

Recent pictures

A random picture I took of a snow day.

I finally got some pettiskirts and took a few shots of Maclaren. I was hoping to make her a green tutu (the sew kind). I had a mishap and will be cutting all the tulle off of the elastic and will try it again. The black pettiskirt seemed to do fine though. The boots are one of her favorite things!

Catching Up

While the kids are eating their afternoon snack I will try to catch up on everything that has been going on....

Jackson is in T-Ball this summer. The rain has made it impossible to actually have a game, but he's got a game shirt. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we will be able to have the game scheduled for tomorrow night.
Jackson had VBS last week at the FUMC. He truly enjoyed the week, the stories we heard every day were extremely animated. He did have a bad day the last day...one of his friends from school told him that he had a new friend that he liked better than Jackson. It broke my heart that it upset him so much. I took the kids to the pool and a boy that is interested in the same things Jackson is, was there...they had a blast. I didn't hear anymore about that "friend" after we got back from the pool.

Maclaren seems to like the water and I anticipate that she will (purposefully) go under water before the end of the summer.

The summer is packed full and I'm afraid that will make it go by so fast. My little boy will be going into kindergarten in a few months. My days will be much quieter. The first few days may be nice but I think I will grow to miss his constant jabbering of the jaws!

Mom and dad are coming for a week!!! I'm excited as they usually only get to stay a few days at the most. Jackson doesn't know yet...I figured that would be better. Plus, it's an awesome surprise when they get here!

Kids are finished with their snack, hopefully a nap is in store for all!

Long time

So it's been a really long time since I posted....I'm planning on posting more in the future so stay tuned.
