Princess Tea
Here is the lovely princess and her escort.
Katie chose to wear her "Sleeping Beauty" dress (her favorite of all the princess dresses because it is PINK...the girl loves PINK). She also wanted to pair her favorite princess dress with her favorite shoes: her soccer shoes.
I was agreeable. It wouldn't be MY choice to wear to a tea, but it wasn't my tea to attend. And I was thinking, "That is SO my Katie - a princess dress and soccer shoes!"Wednesday, February 17, 2010
Something I'll call "Way Back Wednesday"
Mack and Swirl were so excited to get in the car and then drive for 4 hours to my sister's house. But since my sister lives on 5 acres and our puppies were used to a VERY small backyard, they were not only glad to be out of the car, they were also excited for a place to run. I don't think they stopped running for over 30 minutes. I think they want to live with you sister dear.
Collin, Katie and cousin Chandler - all cutie-patooties
Collin had the bulk of his book colored BEFORE we loaded onto the plane.
Katie worked off some of her high energy by doing a dance.

Dedication of the Babe
Jackson's buddy Brixton. Next door neighbors in the hospital and next crib neighbors at church.
Baby Dedication night at church. Yes, that is my daughter picking her nose for the family photo. Oh well. I think getting 5 people to all look the same direction AND smile is a tall order.
Jackson and Collin. You know, I know Jackson belongs to God. I know Collin and Katie belong to God. I have the honor of taking care of them and teaching them and training them while here on earth. Today God lent us a soul.
Tomorrow we must return it prepared for eternity.
Jackson - you are a most precious gift from God to us. We dedicate your life to Him.

What have you been up to?
That is the question of the year. And it's only been, oh, 23 days in 2010. My dear family and friends, I haven't blogged for several reasons. My home computer HATES my blog - it still does the restart thing everytime I try to log on. No spare time, really. If I have a moment of spare time, I probably should throw another load of laundry in or sleep.
New Year's Resolutions: I love to make these, but often break them quickly.
Give up my Coca-cola! - I made it 28 days (these were the 28 days following the birth of Jackson when I thought I was swelling from a high-sodium diet of COKE) with only a sip of the Coke and then completely fell off the wagon. I'm starting fresh tomorrow.
Exercise: I really love to exercise when I just do it, I just need to do it. If I exercise 4 more times in January, I get a prize out of the basket at Jazzercise. I'll do anything for a towel.
Catch up on scrapbooking: I am really behind. March 2008 - you are next. And yes, I do have approximately 1092 pictures from our 7 weeks in Europe and that's after we edited some out. I've only printed 110 so far and nary a one is in a book. Have you seen my dining room table? Probably not, because I've had no one over since December. Well, Sada has seen it and the lady welcoming us to the neighborhood. That was fun to see her eyebrows raise so high, the lady's, not Sada's. Sada's cool with my table looking like it does.
Read my Bible and pray everyday: pray everyday, pray everyday...sorry, got lost in the song. I'm doing a Beth Moore study on Esther now and I love it! But I also have my Daily Bible and the farthest I have made it with continual reading (no catch up days) is from Jan 1 to Feb 19 - the day before Collin's birth 7 years ago! Yep, I'm that bad.
Blog at least once a week: Just to keep the family in Texas informed. I'm missing Texas today.
You know...it's probably best that I do not start to blog at 11:oopm. My random thoughts really start coming out. But my parents will get a laugh and that's what matters. Love you Momma and Daddy!
You know what - we bowled today. We bowled last Saturday too. Why? Coupons. And the kids did their chores. But today, I shocked myself and the family next to us by bowling 2 strikes and 7 spares! What in the world? I was a bowling possessed freak! Um, I took bowling pass/fail at ACU because I was in the gutter most of the time. And it's best to get a Pass in bowling rather than a D.
So in short, I have been up to my ears in laundry and pictures. Next time I blog I will post some pictures. I'm just too lazy to connect the camera to the computer right now. But I have a great bowling ball picture of my Jackson! He's so adorable. And he rolled over today! Back to front! Yep! At 12 weeks! He's a genius!

Oh what fun!
Well, I should be blogging about some current events like putting up the Christmas tree and our 7 week old little Jackson Matt, but I recently went through all 1000+ pictures taken from our trip to Europe. I don't have them all organized yet but here are 3 pictures taken in Vienna at the Zoo (the oldest zoo in the world, it claims). Wow, that was fun! I look back now and can't believe we saw all those amazing places.
Collin and Katie's favorite place in Europe: Europa Park in Rust, Germany
My favorite: any gelato place, Normandy, Paris, Rome, Switzerland!! Oooh too many
Matt's favorite: Berlin, Munich, Paris, Normany, Rome - also too many
Jackson's favorite: Also any gelato place - he just told me yesterday
Blog time is over for now.
Blessings to all my family and friends!
