Eye Appointment

Today we took the kids to have their eyes checked. Sierra-Lynn still needs glasses (she is near sighted like me), but her eyes have gotten better. Dr. Cruz told us that near sightedness doesn't usually get better, in all the years that he has been an eye specialist he has only seen 5 cases (she's the fifth).

Jackson, on the other hand, takes after daddy and has 20/20 vision. So, of course I feel bad about having his eye dilated, but oh well, better safe than sorry. He may, however, be allergic to eggs, I gave him some the other day and he threw up. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to deal with allergies with him.

Another Jackson First...

His first black eye.

Caused by this offensive toy, it is now in time out indefinitely.

He was playing with it last night and it fell over on top of him and hit his little eye. Mark wants to throw it out (I think it will just sit in his toy box for awhile).

Happy Anniversary To:

I want to wish my loving sisters-in-law happy anniversary. I believe that Becky and Mike have been married 21 years as of July 11. Diana and Justin, on the 12th, will be celebrating 5 wonderful years.

Happy anniversary you guys, we all love you.

I also want to wish my "fuzz" (Jackson) a happy 7 month b-day. I can't believe that my baby is going to be 7 months old tomorrow.

Update!!!

Jackson is still trying very hard to get his teeth, nothing yet. He is, however, crawling, everywhere. He was so cute yesterday crawling in the yard. And, of course, trying to eat the flowers. He can also sit up on his own, Mark had to lower his bed because the other morning Jackson was sitting up in the middle of his bed.

Sierra-Lynn gave us a little bit of a scare last night. We (Mark and I) were giving Jackson a bath and Sierra-Lynn comes in freaking out about losing a tooth. When she opened her mouth she still had all of her teeth, so we had no idea what she was talking about. Long story short, she has not lost a baby tooth, but gained a grown up molar (upper right). My little girl is getting so big.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

The last few weeks have been busy. We got a phone call from Mark's uncle. We did a bunch of house cleaning. We had a few spats. And we took the kids swimming.

Jackson was like a fish, Sierra-Lynn on the other hand was terrified of the water. She wouldn't even float. From there we went to the mall and did most of our Christmas shopping at the going out of business sale at the Disney Store. Jackson spent the whole time we were at the mall, in a stroller yelling eat, eat, eat. It was so cute. Sierra-Lynn just enjoyed spending time with her Daddy. I don't have any photos of our day, we didn't want to chance something happening to the digital camera so we got a disposable water proof one (we have yet to develop it).

I do have some photos for you that I hope you enjoy.

I'm Back. . . I Think ;)

I have been so tired lately on top of having a major toothache. But I wanted to put some photos on here that I promised. The first is Jackson and Sierra-Lynn sitting on Uncle David's lap. He wants to move up here and I would like to have him up here, but with the economy the way that it is, I don't think that he should give up a job that pays over $10 an hour plus benefits. But whatever.

This is the first photo that I have gotten of anyone feeding Jackson.

We also have a lovely pic of Dee Dee flipping the bird.

This last one is of Jackson. He is doing what we call bridging.

At The Faire!!!!

Jackson and a fairy.
Sierra-Lynn and a goblin pet. He gave her this really cool piece of Unicorn blood (a U shaped piece of blown glass).
Does anyone see the pirates who own this ship?
My little princess.

Sorry it's taken so long to get back on here. This past month has gone by in a blur (most of which was spent trying to finish Sierra-Lynn's "princess" dress). I finally finished it at 11:45 p.m. the night before we went to the Ren. Faire. When then spent the day with everyone bowing to her and calling her "princess", she had so much fun, at least until I retweaked my ankle.

The kids did the King's quest, Sierra-Lynn became a princess of the realm and Jackson became a knight of the realm. I am posting a photo of Sierra-Lynn becoming a princess but was unable to get a photo of Jackson being knighted. They brought the sword down on both sides of his little head, it was so cute.

The day went great until we got home and my Uncle David was standing in Tori's driveway. I had no clue that he was even coming up. He is looking into finding a place to live and a job, because he has had it with Tennessee. So I guess it's okay that he is up here.

I just want to say thank-you to all of our troops, past and present. Stay tuned for more of our Memorial Day Weekend Fun.
