Jackson is now 15lbs and 12 oz. He has gained 4 lbs in a matter of about 5 weeks! I believe the Dr. was right and he needed that formula! He is a big boy. As soon as he wakes up from his nap I will measure him. I know that he has grown at least 2 more inches!
Jackson got a johnny jump up for our house today. He has one at Nonnie and Pop's house, so he already knows how to use it...so now he will be a real pro with getting to practice everyday! Something to keep him moving...the child does not like to sit still. Lately he has either wanted to be in his excer-saucer or on the floor; every once in a while he will sit in his bumbo or in his rocking chair...but he wants nothing to do with the very expensive swing that is sitting in our living room! He can't move himself in the swing! So that is why I went ahead and get the johnny jump up so that he would have something else that he can do! He is a very busy boy!
Please remember to pray for my mom tomorrow. She is having surgery at 8:00 and the plan is that she will be home on Wednesday morning. Jackson and I are leaving early Wednesday morning to go help take care of her!
Off to make Peter some muffins with my new food processor!!!! If you don't have a food processor and love to cook it is totally worth the investment!!!
What's for dinner: Lasagna, broccoli, and rolls

Friday Night Football
Here we are again...another Friday. I had a lot planned for today and was looking forward to getting so much accomplished... but it has not worked. I was planning on taking Peter lunch, going to the bank, going by wal-mart, going to target, and then maybe by academy. Well, I go by to get Peter something for lunch and it was a complete disaster! The guy that worked there took a hour to make a sandwich!!!! A HOUR! I'm not lying...I got to hear his whole life story (which was not good!) Have you ever had a conversation with someone and never said anything in return...not sure if you would even call it a conversation. I didn't know what to do or say...I'm not good in these situations because I don't want to hurt their feelings! So I sat there for an hour...I really only had 15 mins to wait for Peters sandwich so to say the least it was late! And then on top of all that it was cold and mine was not good! DISASTER!!!
So that has thrown my whole day off! I did not get to have lunch with Peter nor did he get to hold Jackson, I did not get to feed Jackson while I was there so then I had to come back home. Now poor Jackson is wiped out so he is napping, so this means no walmart, no target, no academy...I HAVE to make it by bank before dinner! Oh well, I guess I will try again tomorrow!
Tonight is our 4th football game of the season and our first district game. Hoping for another win! Praying for safty for both teams! And that once again we play with confidence and a little tiger pride! GO TIGERS!
Me with my cousins Camerson and Logan
Jackson eating a biter biscuit...its stuck to his tummy!
All done! Messy Messy!

Catching Up!
This my be my longest blog yet! Our Internet has been down at home because of some communication problems with AT&T. But there has been a lot going on in the past week.
Tuesday Jackson and I went to Miller Heights to visit. That morning I made chocolate chip cookies for the teachers and then went to see everyone. It was so good to be back and see everyone's smiling faces! Jackson got lots of love and left his mark on a couple of friends that held him! (I promise I will catch up on pictures, the Internet here is to slow to download). After that we left and took daddy some cookies up to work for a snack before football.
Wednesday was a day of resting and staying home! Jackson and I played a lot and he slept a lot too! Thursday we went and had lunch with Peter before we left to go to Brownwood. We had a very long trip because I didn't have Ella's medicine and she was a nervous wreck the whole way here. Ella has problems with anxiety and so we normally give her a pill to relax when we get in the car to go on long trips. Without it she about pees on herself when she sees an eighteen wheeler, if the windshield wipers come on, or if there is any type of sudden movement...lets just say it makes for a long ride! So I was very happy to finally pull up in the drive of my mom and dads and let her out to be a country dog! Thursday night my dad grilled trout!!!! YUMMY! I finally got to eat my $9 trout and it was the best fish I have ever eaten. My mom also made me a Mama Houges Chocolate Cake...which if you like chocolate cake you would love this! It is chocolate cake with fudge icing...and it is the best chocolate cake I have ever had!!! I have had a lot of chocolate cake...and I'm not just saying this because my mom made it!!!
Friday we went and spent the day with Grancie and Pops. Jackson and Pop both took a very long nap, so Grancie and I looked at old pictures! It was very fun...I love to look at pictures! Once Jackson got up we were pretty sure we were dying of hunger so we went to the train for fried pickles, soup, and a sandwich! After lunch we dropped Jackson off to play with Pop and took little Layla (Amy's puppy) to the vet. Then we went to Wal-Mart and got stuff to start decorating for the fall! I LOVE FALL and it is one of my favorite things to decorate for...second to Christmas! We are hoping for a Thanksgiving in Belton, because that would mean we were still playing football!!!! Nothing like a great game of football the Saturday after Thanksgiving!!!!
Speaking of football...that was our next adventure! We went to Star to watch a little 6 man football. It was a lot of fun and very different than my normal Friday night football experiences! It is tiny...everything...the stands, the team, the press box(that actually just looks like a box), the fans! Although, there fans could have beat Belton Tigers fans in a sprint contest. It was so fun...I can honestly say that I haven't had that much fun at a game since Peter played college ball! Our fans need to take a little lesson from the Victory Life Fans and Cheer and support no matter what it going on down on the field!!!!! Victory didn't end up winning, but they played hard and THE coolest thing was that they prayed with the team after the game was over!!! A public school team!!!! and they all circled up and one the players prayed the most incredible prayer! That made my night! Oh, and Cameron and Logan, my cousins, did a great job!
Brownwood Reunion!!! That is what we did all day Saturday! I got to see people that I haven't seen in a while and it was fun! I got to see the SEAL team tumble, which most of them that are now throwing fulls I started with in my pre-school class! It was so fun to see how much they had learned and how they were still enjoying it! Then I watched Jordan sing and dance on stage! Jackson got to meet Sydney and Jordan for the first time...I started taking care of Jordan when she was around 6 months old! Sydney held Jackson and Jordan bounced around and made him laugh! It brought tears to my eyes...and out of my eyes! We did go home for a nap mid day because we had the concert that night! We got to the concert and had our dinner.
This is the part of the blog that makes me said and where I'm going to ask for your prayers. We got a call about 9:30 last night that my MawMaw(my grandmother, my dads mom) passed away. She has been very sick and we knew that it was coming...but that doesn't make it any better. There are two major blessing is it all, one she went in her sleep and she had a wonderful day. The second, we know for a FACT that she is singing in heaven with the angels and saw that face of Jesus!!! We will know more about arrangements later this morning! Please pray for our family. Her sibling are taking it very hard! But also praise with us that she is in heaven!
Well, I think I have everyone caught up!!! And it's my new blog header so fun!!! LOVE IT! Thank you for your prayers and praise!

Fun Filled Monday!
First of all, I have to inform everyone that I won! I won a makeover for my blog! I'm very excited to see what it will look like...and to share it with everyone! It will be done at before the end of the week so stay tuned!
We had a great adventure here in Belton this weekend. As you all know it has been raining in Texas for about the past 4 days...so when Saturday got here and the rain was here to stay I was very disappointed. I had looked forward to going to the football game all week, but knew that I could not take Jackson out in the weather. So, my wonderful husband called dear friends of ours, Rod and Dana, and asked if they would like to keep Jackson. They said yes, and Rod, Dana, Caleb, and Daph all spoiled him rotten for the evening. I got to go to the game and I'm so glad I did! I enjoyed being there very much! Oh, and I got to have dinner with some of the coaches wives all by myself because Kyle (pop) keep Jackson! So it was a great evening for me...but I was very ready to go pick Jackson up after the game!!!!! OH! And we won!!! 35-6!!!! Go Tigers!!!!
Sunday was another day of rest! We went to church and then came home and relaxed for the rest of the day! Jackson and I enjoy our day with Peter! Daddy and Jackson worked on crawling...it is not going to be long before Jackson is chasing Ella around the house. Not sure if I'm ready for that!
Today my mom came to see Jackson. We went to Harker and had lunch at Cheddars...salmon, salad, rice, and carrots...it was so yummy! Then we did a little shopping; between Grancie and Nonnie I think Jackson is set for winter!!! (Although I'm sure we will find more that he just has to have!!!) He is going to be the cutest thing around! I now have to go through his clothes and pack up all the clothes that he can't wear anymore. We need room in the drawers and in the closet for all his new stuff! He also got a new high chair today. I decided on the space saver chair so that we didn't have a massive high chair in the dinning room. It is perfect.(anyone looking for a high chair right now, the one we got is clearances at Target!) After all our shopping was done we went and got yogurt at YoYo's! Now I'm very full and wondering if I'm going to be able to eat any dinner! I had a very good time with my mom and enjoyed the day!
Jackson is now snuggled up in bed taking a nap and I think I'm about to do some laundry and read! I will try to have some new pictures to post tomorrow...I know I have had two post without pictures!
What's for Dinner: Oven fried chicken, asparagus, mac n cheese, and rolls

Rainy Day!
Well, we are now under a flash flood warning! The apartment looks like its flooding...there is water everywhere! It looks like a river outside the porch! They are pumping water out of the holes around the trees. Ella has had enough of the rain. This morning she would not go to the bathroom in the grass, so I thought she would just come back in the house...no!!!... I turn aroung and she is peeing on the neighbors GREEN welcome mat! YIKES! Not to worry, I got a towel and soaked it all up. It has been raining since yesterday, and I'm hoping that it will be done for a the game tomorrow! I'm so glad for all the rain, but really want to have a great game tomorrow!
Jackson and I went to have lunch with Peter today. Peter has had a very long week and we have not gotten to see him much. So I'm tyring to take advantage of every moment that I can! We are also going to go to dinner with him and some of the other coaches and their wives. He does get to come home for a few hours tomorrow, which is very exciting!!! I'm going to make a big breakfast for when he gets done with practice...I love have breakfast with my husband!
If any of you have time you will have to read the Sports section in the Temple paper today! It mentions Peter going to California this summer and all the work he has put into the summer lifting...and how much it has helped the team for the season! I'm so proud of him and how much work he has put into everything!!!! God has been so faithful to bless ALL of Peters hard work!
I'm so ready for the game! I heard a teacher say that she doesn't like Saturday games because football is suppose to be on Friday nights...I'm thinking that I agree! This season has been so much fun so far, hoping that it continues!
Looking forward to the weekend!
Whats for Dinner: Rosa's (I think)

Playing with the Camera
I have downloaded the software that came with the camera that edits the pictures. I'm still working on learning how to use it, but here are some that I have taken and edited so far! Thought they turned out pretty cute! Loving my camera! Enjoy!
Cleaning Day!
Today has been a day of cleaning! Clean clothes, clean bathrooms, and clean floors. I love the feeling of a clean house! James came by to pick something up and to tell us bye; he leaves for the Army again this weekend! We are looking forward to see him again around Christmas... if he gets leave!
Talked to my mom today. She went to the Doctor again this morning to have him check somethings that are still bothering her after her surgery to remove the cancer. The Doctor has advised for her to have another surgery at the end of this month. It will be a day surgery and she should be on her feet pretty quick! Please pray for her and the doctor if you have a chance!
I'm still trying to realize that today is Wednesday! It feels like Monday for some reason, although I'm not going to complain because we are closer to Sunday! And tonight is treat night!!! Gotta love Wednesdays!
Well, I hope everyone has had a wonderful day!!!
What's for Dinner: Parmesan Chicken, broccoli, and rolls
All snuggled up
Helping with the Laundry...very serious!
