Craft Projects

I've been a little out of control- everytime I go to the store I find more projects to do. This week I've actually made some headway on them. Sorry to Melissa who will be seeing presents on here. You can pretend you are surprised.

CARROTS- Enough Said

Jackson enjoyed watching Robin Hood steal from the rich to give to the poor. That and he likes to play naked (no diaper rash for this baby)! I'm surprised how much he really understands- although I think he mostly likes all the colors moving. We have been watching in 5 to 10 minute installments because he gets distracted quickly.

In other news- I'm on a 3 day cycle.

Day ONE- I've been crafting up a storm(blankets, taggies, knitting squares, painting orchids for our bathroom, and working on our cookbook)

Day TWO- Cleaning my mess- dirty dishes, craft junk, endless laundry.

Day Three- DOING NOTHING- while feeling guilty and lazy about doing nothing.
Then it all starts again. I guess I can feel happy with the fact that 66% of the time I'm doing something.

Clean Carpets and Swag

Jackson has been a great little mover lately. Rolling and turning in circles- he can get pretty far (no leaving him anywhere but the floor if I'm walking away now). Other new things- I was called into the Young Women's again as the Beehive Advisor and I love the girls. We went on our second date in Texas on Friday- Transformers 3 and dinner. We have started switching off watching little Hadley for watching Jackson ever other week with a couple down the street so that we can go on at least 2 dates a month (one to the temple and one out for entertainment) and keep our costs down.

Other nerdy exciting things in life:

1st- Swagbucks- Thank you Melissa for introducing me. Basically you join, browse the Internet, win swag bucks and cash in for sweet rewards. So far I've recieved $15 to amazon.com and I'm almost up to $10 more. I used my rewards towards my....

2nd- Carpet Cleaner- All the gross stains the former owners left in the carpets are basically gone. For sure my mom will remember the really dark stain in the bedroom carpet- I blasted that out tonight and it felt great. I'm such a dork. Sorry if my post is a little boring today.

3rd- Neighborhood Ladies- I've been doing alot with the neighborhood ladies lately (before they all leave or go on vacation). Walked the mall and world market, went out to Thai food, and many trips to the pool. Its kind of fun.

Ralphs Idea

A Rolling Jackson Gathers No Moss

Today Jacks rolled all the way from his back to his front. So he now goes both ways! Which means its time to start worrying about what he can get into.

We put J in his excersaucer for the first time this weekend. He loves playing in it (until he gets distracted 5 minutes later).

We had a wonderful weekend Saturday we did a lot of cleaning, work around the house etc, Sunday I got to lead the music at church and I got called to be the Beehives advisor, meanwhile Ralph gave blood and his brother Henry and his wife Alison came over and talked and we played games, Monday we had a great cookout- lots of different meats, lots of good conversation, lots of fun, then we watched the fireworks from Kingwood High Schools parking lot and the MacDonalds brought yummy homemade ice cream. It was a great holiday weekend.
