7 Weeks Old

Jackson is seven weeks old and you'd swear I feed him steak and potatoes. Next week I will find out how much this little guy weighs, what's your guess?

Ashton And His Ice Cream Sandwich

The ice cream man came around today and Ashton got a cookie ice cream sandwich. After dinner he got to indulge himself in it. Even though he was totally exhausted he did not want to stop eating. He first took all the m&m's off both sides, then put his finger in the middle to get ice cream and then licking it off of his fingers until it was almost all gone. Twenty minutes later he was finally done.

My Helper

Kirsten has really stepped up as a big sister, she sees how full my days are and has been offering to help with Ashton. She can now change a diaper (pee only of coarse), give him a bath, and is my personal grocery cart pusher (since we need two). Thanks Kirsten for all the help :).

GO TITANS GO!!

The girls have started cheer leading this year for the Titans. We are in our second week of practice and so far they love it. They chant the cheers at the house so I myself almost know all of them.

Our Little Garden

We have been successful with our garden (only a few things were pulled out), and I have learned a lot to do differently next year. We have been eating zucchini almost everyday in all forms. Ashton always eats the cherry tomatoes before they make it in the house, but they sure are good just off the plant. Our pumpkins are growing like crazy and are starting to turn orange. The kids think it is pretty cool that we are growing are own pumpkins for Halloween.

Daniel's Belated B-Day Celebration

Daniel's birthday was July 13 th, it was a busy weekend for us so I wasn't able to give him a cake or even sing to him. I felt really bad and so did he, so sad. This weekend he was able to have his guy trip like he wanted with Dad, Eric, Azez and his brother Ricky. I took all the kids up for the day and brought brownies with candles so that we could sing to him. He felt special and that's what I was trying for.

Bad Day With Adorable Kids

In the middle of my bad day I look over and see all my kids looking at me, and it makes my day a little better seeing their smiles.
