My new camera!

Home made slip n slide....we DO live in Louisiana people! And Jackson had a blast. We went to Dalton's graduation party last Saturday afternoon and this is what the boys had conjured up. They doused the tarps and themselves with dishwashing liquid and had at it! Needless to say, most of the boys ended up with some rashes and "irritation" south of the border...haha. One of the guys even missed church the next day because he couldn't walk! Stupid dishwashing liquid. Who knew you couldn't use it for personal use?? Jackson suffered only minor injuries :)

Whoops! He took a slip and went down on his back! No tears though...those came once he got the dishwashing liquid in his eyes....ouch!

Charlie sunning on a raft with Daddy. Emma had her 5th birthday party at Franco's last Saturday and we swam! Charlie loves the pool.

Jackson playing in the kiddie pool. I love my new camera. Jackson is like 30 feet away from me in this shot and look how awesome it turned out!

'Sup mommy?

I'm posting this pic mainly because my mom wanted to see the arrangement she sent James and me for our 4 year anniversary! Thank you mom, it was beautiful! We went to dinner and had a great evening together!

Just a close up of a rose with my camera....I can't stop playing with it!

Ladies and Gentleman...we are about to have a walker! As soon as you stand him up to walk with him his little legs just get to pumping and he goes everywhere. (someone is holding his hands of course) He thinks he's pretty cool. Watch out Jackson....you think you are being tormented now...just wait til Charlie REALLY gets mobile!

Aunt Lana took Jackson outside the other day after it had rained and let him play in the ditch in the front yard. Notice I didn't take him out to play in the ditch. It is nasty and dirty and there are baby minnows swimming in there. Where do those things come from? I mean, how do they just find their way in a ditch? Don't they belong in a river? (Sorry for that rant...I'm just lookin for an answer). Of course Jackson had tons of fun....He went straight to the shower after that.

All day Jackson has been telling me that he wants to go running and biking with Daddy when he gets home. All day. So James gets home and that's just what they do. Jackson told James, "I don't want to do the swimming just the biking and running. You can do the swimming." We finally got what he was thinking. He's been watching James do these triathlons and he's wanting to do what his Daddy does. So cute! They ran to the stop sign and back, ummm about 40 feet from the end of our driveway. Then he said he was tired. So they hopped on their bikes and rode down the street. Maybe someday we'll have a father/son team doing triathlons together. How cool would that be?

This weekend we go to Jackson, Mississippi for another triathlon. This is the one James attempted to start last year but couldn't because I had to rush him to the emergency room to get an appendectomy. Hopefully this trip won't result in any major surgeries...I'll let ya know.
