Harrison & Max 6 months

At the top is a picture Melody took of Harrison at 6 months old (it is one of my all time favorites). I had to get a duplicate with Max. Below are the two pics that Yvette was took. Do you think they look alike? Max is just getting cuter each day.

Harrison has bronchitis right now and Max is teething, so this mom is feeling very overwhelmed. Thank goodness I have Bunco to look forward to tomorrow night, a date night this weekend, and next week is my little birthday club's monthly dinner. I don't know what I do without my girlfriends.

Our 3 day weekend last week was fun. Jackson got to go to the battle of flowers parade. Harrison and Jackson went swimming on Friday and Sunday. On Saturday we went to the King William Fair for the parade and to eat a gordita and roasted corn (my favorites).

We have just about a month left of school and then we are off for the summer. I hope it is not as hot as last year, but even if it is, at least I wont be 9 months pregnant.

Looks like fun,huh? Depends on your view and who you are.

Max has been sick lately - he has a ear infection and a virus. We've been to the doctor 4 times in 9 days. But he is gonna be fine. This is Fiesta time of year but the rain has really put a damper on things. We are just doing the normal things, hanging out with friends, going to dinner and watching TV. Next week Jackson has taken a pledge to be TV free for the week, so we should see how that goes. The parents are supposed to be role models (but hey, I didn't sign the pledge, he did.)
The exciting thing is that my dear friend Yvette from high school is in town. She was to be here for 16 days. Her visit has been extended by 8 days due to the volcano situation. I am so happy. Old friends are super. Her mom lives only 3 blocks away, so we are able to visit a lot. Today it was cupcakes and the fiesta store. Last week she took pics of us - you will be so impressed when you see them. (The new family picture to the left is a preview.) I hope to see her much more before she leaves.
Tomorrow includes taking a friend lunch and my parents taking Jackson and Harrison to go see "How to tame your dragon" and to go see Jackson's art work which is on display at EZs. I could tell you about my week, but I need to go to bed as I'm sure Max will have me awake in a few hours.

Jackson turns 6!!

We had a great birthday for Jackson this year. Nothing like hot dogs, cake, a few kids, and all of your favorite people. I really enjoyed Jackson being 5. I was a little worried about 6. But, you know what, the past few weeks have been great.

My sweet Jackson, you just keep getting better and better. You see, he is a great big brother, packs his own lunch every day, wakes up happy, gets dressed without me asking and he has a super personality. His teacher said, "any first grade teacher would be lucky to have him."

I think we are pretty lucky to have him in our life.

I love my sweet 6 year old!

Max and Spring

I keep trying to take these great pics. I will not stop trying. These are what I came up with this morning. Later today he will get his 6 month shots...ouch. My mom and grandma are ill right now, so keep them in your thoughts and prayers. This little guy will be 7 months tomorrow. He is still so little, not sitting up and not really wanting to on your hip, still like to be held like a baby. I still cant believe I have 3 boys....

Easter Day

We had a great 3 day weekend. Sunday was super fun, it included a pony ride, Easter egg hunt and a long nap. I love this last picture because it is the only picture that includes Max (so cute). I've uploaded a few more pictures, so check back in a few days for more pics. Here's to a great April!
