FOOTBALL!!!

Football season started last night. Whooo Hooooo!!!! Practice is 5 nights a week, 2 hours a night for the first 3 weeks. Not sure how we are gonna handle all that....but we'll do our best. This is Jackson's first year playing and he was sooooo nervous. They actually draft the players here, so the first night was a big deal. Jackson tried his hardest and I was sooo proud of him. He got drafted to the blue team which happened to be a winning team last year. Hopefully this year will be the same!!! Here is a pic of him in his football gear. He couldn't wait to put his helmet on!!

Jax and his step-bro

So Jackson finally met his new step brother and his new step mom down in Texas. His dad got married last year before he went to Iraq and this was the first opportunity for them to meet. Jackson had a great time. They were swimming and doing fun stuff everyday. Thanks to Eileen who made Jackson feel comfortable and welcome! Here is a pic of Jax and his step bro (that's what he calls him) Dylan.

I'm back!!!

Hello everyone! So I've been away for a few weeks....but I'm back! Let me explain......My laptop died so my blogging has had to be put on hold for a while. And Jackson has been away with his dad for the last 3 weeks in Texas. So I have been dealing with no laptop and just being depressed. Seems like my life literally stops when my son is gone. I go to work and go home, walk the dog and then park my butt on the couch. I even eat dinner on the couch! How freakin pathetic. Anyway, Now Jax is back, and we are back on schedule! I did manage to complete a few projects the last week Jax was gone. Mostly painting projects. I think I was gearing up for him to come back. Once I get my laptop working again I will post those pics too. For now....I'm blogging from work! Ha Ha Ha

only tuesday....

It's only tuesday and the weekend seems so far away. I think I'm sad, maybe depressed too. I keep thinking about my friend Christina. Her father passed away a few days ago and I know how bad she's hurting but I can't be there for her cause i'm so far away. I feel helpless. I hate to know that my friend is hurting and going through one of the saddest most tragic weeks of her life. Please keep Christina, Calvin, and their family in your thoughts and prayers.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

It's Friday! WHOOO HOOOO!!!! I'm so excited that this week is finally over. It always seems that the first week back to work after a vacation seems sooooooo long.

So Jackson and I have been struggling to get out of bed every morning this week. And today, as I was waking Jackson up....he struggled to open his eyes and said in the sweetest voice "is it finally friday?" "YEP BABY IT SURE IS!!! " I said! He got right up and started getting ready. We couldn't wait to get the day started just so it could be over with. We even celebrated on the way to work/daycare, with a trip through McDonalds drive through for a bacon egg 'n cheese breakfast bagel . We absolutely love them(minus the breakfast sauce of course, gross and ridiculously fattening)

We are planning on swimming ALOT this weekend! The pool in our development is ready and waiting!!! And of course, Couper is getting a trip to the Bark Park! Also we'll be getting ready for our yardsale next weekend. Still haven't decided how we'll spend our yardsale earnings. The choices are...buy a trampoline, go to a waterpark, go camping, or buy a tv for mommy's bedroom! hmmmmm....pretty sure mom is going to lose the tv!!! but oh well :)

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Fishing with Pappy

While we were back home in PA, we took a fishing trip with my dad. Even though we didn't catch anything we still had a great time!

I think this hat might be the reason we didn't catch anything.....I probably scared them all away!!! Yep....that's right.....I'm a dork!!!

A new addition!!!!

Congratulations to my sister Sue Ann!!! She gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Huxley Glenn Anderson Williams, on Monday June 9th at 10:35pm. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to be there for the entire labor. It was amazing! She was in labor for 22 hours and dealt with it better than I would have. I'm so proud of her. The birth of my nephew was a day Jackson and I will never forget. We are so excited to have a baby in the family that we can spoil and love!

Jackson holding his cousin for the first time.....so precious!

Jackson and Huxley.....4 days old!
