Never take Jackson out for ribs!!!

We all know that Jackson can get dirty with soap and water, right? Ribs......not a good idea! He doesn't hold the ribs with his fingers like civilized people do, he uses the whole hand and palms them. To watch him eat something like that is like watching a bear tear into an animal! To those family members who I'm not afraid to offend you will have to watch the video Vernon took of him as he was eating and goofing off. I wouldn't dare show it to people who are not family!!! Good thing that boy is cute, otherwise I would trade him in!

Gum+Hair+Peanut Butter????

When you think of a kid getting gum in his hair you usually wouldn't think it would be your oldest child, right? NO! This morning Wyatt comes to me and says, "I blew a bubble and it got stuck in my hair." I knew he hadn't blown a bubble and done it because it was a great big blob of gum not thin strands. So I said, "OK Wyatt, what did you really do?" He said he was playing with his gum and accidentally stuck it in his hair. Yep, Stuck it in his hair! Really, how do you do that?! Anyway, he comes in with scissors and says he needs to cut it out. It was right in the front of his hair, so I told him he would look ridiculous with a big chunk of hair cut out. I called Sherry and she said to use peanut butter to break down the gum. So I put a great big blob of PB in his hair. Guess What? It worked! Amazing, and he still has his hair! Peanut Butter 1 and Gum 0!

As you can see, he didn't want me to take a picture of him with PB on his head! Ha ha!!!!

Jackson lost another tooth......

Jackson lost his top front tooth yesterday! He is so adorable without it. It was very loose for several days and he finally lost it at school. I guess it's a trend, he has lost other teeth at school too! Jackson thinks he looks "stupid" as he put it. But we all know otherwise, he is the cutest little guy!

Some more football pictures....

I have always liked football.....Now I LOVE FOOTBALL! I absolutely love watching Wyatt play. I have been so proud of him this season, he has really stuck too it and practiced hard. They had their last practice last night, so the season is winding down. This weekend we play on Saturday, if we win we play on Sunday. And then, you ready? If we win that, we play at the IU Memorial Stadium on Halloween day! I hope we get there, the kids will be so happy! (The parents too!) Since the season is winding down I thought some new pictures would be good to put out for everyone to see the change in my baby! At the beginning of the season he couldn't do a push up, now, it's like he has done them his whole life! He's so Cute!!!!!

Parent Teacher Conference-Jackson

Jackson's conference went very well! He is doing great in school. He actually got to eat lunch in his classroom with his teacher on Thursday this week because of good conduct. It was him and 3 other kids that she invited. She sent him a letter inviting him to have lunch with her. It is pretty cute. He was excited about eating in the classroom. He has all A's and an E (which is Excellent) in spelling. Isn't that funny! Last year they said they were going to possibly have to put him in remedial reading classes. He was just lazy and didn't want to read, now he is really enjoying the reading he has been doing. He is on book #4, at #5 he gets a free pizza for BookIt. Notice in the picture where it says Grading Period 1. It says "Shoes Tied" Apparently that is the teacher's only complaint, his shoes don't stay tied. I told her we would work on that. But come on, really? His shoes don't stay tied? BIG DEAL!!!!

Baby Lilly, growing up......

Sweet little Lilly is getting so big! She has gained about a pound and a half since she moved in. Pork Chop! The kids are finally adjusting to having her in our home. They finally hold her and pet her without freaking out! Wyatt had some friends over last weekend and they kind of drove her crazy by chasing her and wanting to hold her all the time, but I guess at least she is loved! She is still so sweeet, I just love her! I took the bottom picture this afternoon. I was doing laundry and hadn't seen her in awhile. I took the hamper back to the bathroom and there she was, sitting in the window keeping warm! The top picture is a little fuzzy, but I thought it was cute!

Parent Teacher Conference-Wyatt

We had Parent/Teacher Conference this past week. All is great! Wyatt has straigh A's, Woo Hoo, and way to go Wyatt! The student teacher said that at the begining of the year she was so impressed with Wyatt's behavior that she would say to the class, "Why can't you all be good like Wyatt?" He got emberassed and told her to stop saying it because the kids would repeat it, "I know, Why can't we be more like Wyatt!?" Knowing Wyatt outside of school, I say, HUH???? Because we all know he is a good boy, buy a little rotten!

Notice in the picture sentence #8. When I asked Wyatt what he heard, he said, "UH, I forgot to write talking." I laughed and talked to his teacher about it at our meeting and we both laughed until we amost cried! KIDS! You never know what they will say!

What is that Jelly Fish for?????

We were on our way home from one of Jackson's baseball games this fall; I was driving my mom's car and all the sudden." What's that jellyfish for?" We were so confused, me and mom just looked at each other and kept saying, "what jellyfish?" Finally after a few minutes after the initial question I looked down at the speed and there it was.......the jellyfish. Look at the picture and see if you can tell what he was talking about.

Yes, the brights were on! Obviously my children watch way too much Sponge Bob!

Ahhh, Chloe has toe socks!

Vernon HATES toe socks!!! So, of course Nana got Chloe a pair. They are really cute. I took a picture of her feet and sent it to Vernon on his lunch one day......ha ha ha! I don't know what he has against them.....They are sooo cute! Maybe he can't put them on, they are a little difficult to get on those little toes!
