Addicted

He's only 19 months old, and He's addicted.


This boy knows how to work the iPhone, and he gets VERY upset if you try to take it away from him! 

Usually, I don't mind, it's actually quite the lifesaver when we're shopping.


I think it's funny how many people comment on a baby knowing how to use a phone...I'm sure there are plenty that do these days!


He only likes the best...a $200 toy. Gotta love it!

A new Niece & Family

Alright, apparently my dad wasn't too appreciative of a post without pictures of his grandkids. 

He should just move out here and see them whenever you want. 

I don't think that's gonna happen though, so this one's for you dad! 

In early January we welcomed a new niece to our family. She is gorgeous, and I was able to go take some newborn pictures of her....my favorite thing!

She wasn't too interested in sleeping though, and I only got a handful of pics. I feel bad that we didn't get many, but the ones we did get were great, not hard to do with a beautiful baby girl!

So here she is: Zoelle Jackson




And here's her baby announcement, kinda fun, and I love the colors!


The week after the pictures, my mom headed out to help with baby Zoe and we headed up and joined them for the day. We got to spend some time playing at the park, and nothing makes kids happier than that!


If you look at LaNea, you'll see that her sisters beauty comes naturally. Eric and Jill make some super cute girls! 


Maybe someday they'll be like us and make a super cute boy too!:)


Oh yeah, Kevin and I make super cute girls too! I may be biased, but I don't care!


LaNea and Lexie are the best of friends and they absolutely love being able to play together. We wish they lived even closer so we could do it more often!



See what I mean? What could be more fun than playing at the park with cousins and grandma! She was there, I'm just better at taking pictures of the kids I guess! We love any reason we can find to get together with family, but a new baby is one of the best there is!

Procrastination

I'm a big procrastinator. I'm not proud of it, just being honest. I NEED a deadline to accomplish anything. Really, I do. I've been meaning to teach Peyton to read, and she REALLY wants to do it, but I'm not consistent at all with lessons. We maybe do one a week. It's gonna take a long time to teach her at that rate.

Also, don't come to my house on a Monday. That's laundry day, and there's bound to be lots of it unfolded on my bed...I absolutely stink at doing laundry. I can wash it, it's the folding part that holds me up!:)

Really though, it's the things that I want done around the house that just don't happen. We've been meaning to get a piano for over a year now. Granted, we're trying to find one on craigslist, and we almost got one, but the guy sold it to someone else. I really need to finish JJ's room, he's been in it for quite some time now, and we went to all the trouble of painting it, but it still looks the same as it did over a year ago, in desperate need of some molding.

I'm also anxious to build one of these...


A laundry pedestal, I love the look of it, and the function would be so great to have!! Of course, I've been anxious to build it for quite some time. Not sure it's actually going to happen. Plus, once we build it, we'll have to move out the washer and dryer and it all sounds exhausting. :) Maybe someday.

I've had plans for things I want to do around the house, even little things, and I'm just not motivated enough to do them right now, and there's absolutely no deadline for anything around the house. Just a desire to do it. 

Kevin is begging me to make a simple key hook to hang our keys on. I have everything I need to do it, and it'll be kinda cute when it's done. All the supplies I need are sitting on the counter in my kitchen....and it's been there since christmas. Seriously. Is there some kind of therapy for my problem? 

I don't know if I use the four kids as a reason procrastinate, it's hard to get anything done with little ones following you around all the time, and honestly things around the house are usually not things you want the kids getting into. Thats me making excuses for being a procrastinator. I'm good at that!:)

My other excuse is that Kevin is so dang busy all the time that I don't have any help to get anything done! high adventure is amazing for these boys, but man is it a beast to plan and get everything arranged for! That boy is on his phone ALL. THE. TIME. these days. scheduling, and fundraising, and rescheduling, and researching. and they still have to finish all the fundraising and training before they go. 

Alright, enough complaining, that was just to distract you from my procrastination. Anyway, there's no real reason for this post, other than to admit to myself and everyone else who I really am. Someday maybe it'll get better, but seeing as how I've been like this for life, I'm not to optimistic. At least I'm aware of it right? If I ever do actually finish any of these things, I'll be sure to brag about my accomplishments, but we'll see if that ever even happens!!
