Ok, so I have tried this Blogging thing... before and was unsuccessful... but a friend at work told me about these really neat Blog Books... I'm sold... I am going to focus on documenting our lives in 2011. Wish me luck!
Can you believe that 2 years ago May 6th our lives were forever changed. Jackson Murphy Lane came into our lives. It is hard to believe that time has gone by so quickly.....
We had plans to go out of town this weekend but at the last minute plans changed and we were able to check one big item off of our "To Do" list this weekend, Jackson's Birthday Playset. Jackson turn's 2 on Thursday so we wanted to get the playset built before his big party on Saturday. My Grandpa Chet helped Brandon with the assembly while Grandma and I watched from the sidelines.
Jackson wanted to help too.. Daddy even let him use the drill all by himself.
Just watching all of the work made Zeus tired... Poor Puppy lives a rough life.
Jackson couldn't wait to get in the playhouse. He must have said "Daddy ready?" 100 times... He loves it and we are sure he will have hours of enjoyment from his 2nd Birthday present.
Monday mornings are Rise-N-Shine at Elm Tree. There is a Naturals Minor League Baseball game that the entire school is invited to.... So Strike the Natural and Rumble to School Mascot were at school bright and early this morning to greet all of the students and participate in the moring assembly. Guess who dressed as Rumble? Abbi... she had a blast.
Some of my friends have been bugging me about blogging. I LOVE Facebook and am on all of the time. Apparently there are still a few people that don't use Facebook (I'm can't imagine why?) and want to keep in touch through blogs. So... we will give it a shot. Wish me luck and stay tuned for future posts. Love to all.
I am very blessed to have a wonderful immediate and extended family. Brandon and I have been married for 12 years and have 2 wonderful children. Abbi is 11 and Jackson is 3. Brandon and I always knew that we wanted to have kids and settled on 1. Along came Abbi... 8 years later surprise... along came Jackson. I can honestly say our family is now complete. Brandon and I are thankful everyday for each other and for healthy and happy kiddos. Brandon is the Operations Manager for one of Walmart's Distribution Centers and I am a Sales Analyst for the Pepsi Warehouse and DSD Beverages Sam's Club Team. We live in Northwest Arkansas and love it. We are blessed to have my sister, my parents, and my maternal grandparents, all within 20 minutes of us and not far down the Mountains are Brandon's family. Life is Good!
