Here We Go Again. . .

In 3 hours I will be sitting in a parents meeting for Girl Scouts. Oh the thrill of it. I don't know if you remember what scouts was like for me last year, but I was about to hurt someone (a higher up). I got so stressed by all of it, that I almost lost Jackson, so needless to say I am sooooooooo not looking forward to it this year, but Sierra-Lynn wants to do it again this year. We will try it, and if the adults can't grow up, we walk. Who knows, maybe we will try Clover Kids (4H).

Today, we declared it hair cut day. Sierra-Lynn now has a shoulder length cut with layers. She got a "Camp Rock/Hannah Montana" poster (happy happy joy joy). I just got rid of my split ends. We even tried to trim Jackson around the ears, she lady wouldn't cut it short enough. His hair keeps bugging his ears and he has ended up getting little sores in his ears from clawing himself. I don't do well with blood coming from my little man's ears. He was cute though, the lady let him hold the clippers and he wouldn't let them go. When she tried to take them he just smiled at her.

Due to lack of rain (and me not watering the pumpkins enough), we lost the smallest pumpkin.

My Pumpkin's Pumpkins!!!

This is "Big Guy".

I was talking to my little sis-in-law today and mentioned Sierra-Lynn's pumpkins and something about how I wished that she could see them. Well, now she can and so can you.

Guess What?

My little baby got his first tooth today. Mark and I were getting Jackson out of the bath, when he bit daddy. Mark said that something felt different, so I felt around and sure enough there was a very sharp area on his lower gums. Today, also happens to be Aunt Becky's birthday and she was just giddy when I called and told her. Now maybe he won't be so crabby.

Sierra-Lynn is sick, she a runny nose and is losing her voice, not that she will be quiet. I hope she gets better soon, she is not a happy (or fun to be around) sick person.

Where Has 2008 Gone?

I love this picture.

He can move it backwards.

I was looking at the calendar and I can't believe that it is almost the end of August. Or that it is time to start thinking about what the kids are going to be for Halloween. Sierra-Lynn wants to be a penguin and Jackson is going to be a frog.

Thursday we went to see "Horton Hears a Who", it was so cute and I got some much needed one on one time with my little girl. Mark took Jackson and walked the mall. He did find out something that (if she is good) will be a nice bonus birthday present. Her favorite wrestler John Cena will be at the mall just a few short days before her birthday. If doesn't behave she doesn't get to go see him. Yes, I know I'm mean, don't care.

Jackson can now pull up on the furniture all by his self. And unlike some babies, he is not afraid to fall, he looks behind himself and flops down on his butt. Then he yells "bop!".

In educational news, Sierra-Lynn took her first round of tests today. She got four 100's and one 83 (English). Mark and I were thrown we she finished her math test in. . . are you sitting down? . . . 1 minute and 48 seconds (we gave her 30 minutes per test).

One Week Down. . .

39 to go (of Sierra-Lynn's first grade year). Everything is going good so far. She is so excited when we tell her to get ready for school. Part of her science is taking care of her garden (one of her favorite parts), today she got to pick her very first tomato. She can't wait until her one ear of corn is ready to harvest (she had two but something ate the other). She also has at least 3 baby pumpkins [I think], with about 100 more blossoms.I also wanted to include a picture of Jackson, Mark put him down for a nap this morning, with the blanket barely covering him and this is how he ended up.
