Family Pictures 2010


It's been a long time comin.... The last professional family picture was taken when Jackson was just 4 months old. He is now 4 and after this picture experience I am mad at myself for waiting so long.
The Picture People are great! The whole experience was easy, smooth, and best of all cheap. I was able to print off a coupon online for a free 10x13 and receive 20% off my whole purchase. I also joined the membership club and have more great savings coming my way on future sessions.

As you can tell by the pictures Jackson is the ham of the group!

Party number 2!


WOW that is alot of pictures!
As I am sure you can tell we had a blast at Jackson's birthday party!

Birthday party #1

Jackson birthday fell during the week and he is old enough now to know that its his birthday, so we can't push it off until the party on the weekend anymore. For Jackson's special day, he helped me make homemade pizza and we celebrated with a very very small cake.
He enjoyed it and that is all that matters!

Now I wait...

Okay today is 3/15/10, and all my paper work has been completed!
FAFSA has been completed and the info to Bacone to enroll into the
ultrasound program - done!
NOW I WAIT!
I hate to wait, I love fast answers, and positive responses. I pray that things work out and that the money is there when it needs to be to provide for my family while I am in school and I pray that God gives me the chance to do something with my career.
Please pray with me :)

My favorite verse

May The Lord bless you and keep you.

May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you.

May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.

Amen!

Spring, are you there??

I am so ready for spring to come I can't stand it any longer. I need tulips in my house, I need sunshine, I need to plant flowers, I need it all!!!
Will spring ever come or will it come and go right into the hot summer weather.
Maybe this is the reason I have been so depressed lately............. Spring please hurry!

2010 goal update

We are now into the 3rd month of 2010 and I have to say I am not doing all that well on my goals.
What have I accomplished? hummmmm....

Goal #3. Have an organized, but still cute laundry room.- I would not say it is cute yet but I have got it orginized and happy with it for now.

Goal # 6. Spend more time on the floor playing with the kids than I do worrying about the mess they are making.- The kids and I spent time going candyland and play doh! Oh what fun!


Goal # 8. Aim to workout more than just at the start of the new year.- WOW this one makes me laugh, I was doing good for a while but just having kids and the fact that your time really isnt just for you anymore makes this goal very hard to complete.

Goal #9. Start school in August- I have started the app. for Bacone and my fafsa, wish me luck

Goal #11. Scrapbook!- We have a scrapbooking weekend planned and I have completed my mother in laws wedding book so I guess I could say I have scrapbooked, just not for myself.

Goal #12. Potty train Emma- WOW will this ever happen? The school is wonderful they take Emma potty all the time if I could just get her to go at home.

Goal #13. Make Julia Child's Beef Bourguignon- NEVER EVER will I make Julia Child's beef bourguignon, my sister in law Tonya made it with her husband on Valentines Day and they were nice enought to let me try it to see what I was getting myself into and omg, nasty. I still think of that after taste with the cooked red wine, yuck!

Goal #14. Write someone a letter. I sent my first letter out on 1.22.10 to a friend of mine from middle school, she is currently doing time in prision and since Jan 22nd we have become pen pals. i could not be happier that I took the first step to write to her!

Goal #15. Get my tattoo! I so want to get this done, maybe with my taxes?!?!?
