There are no words for such a beautiful sight...

Just Another Manic Monday!

Hey ya'll!! I hope you had a great weekend. Jeremy had to work, so it was just me and little man, but we had a really good time together. The older he gets the more fun he is to be around. He is hilariuos with some of the stuff he says and does. He is definitely in the "I want" phase of toddlerhood. On the way home from church last night this was our conversation:

Jackson: "Mommy?"

Me: "Yes Jackson..."

Jackson: "I want a truck."

Me: "Okay. When you turn 16 I'll get you a truck. Is that okay?"

Jackson: "Okay." "Mommy?"

Me:"Yes?"

Jackson (as we are passing a Zaxby's): "I want some chicken."

This continued the entire way home with him wanting (no kidding here) a carwash, haircut, Wal-Mart, another truck, a bull-dozer, a School bus, a playground, and then he wanted to go home. Whewww. Good thing we were pulling up in our driveway.

In other news Jackson had his 2 year checkup today and he did amazing! He talked to the doctor the whole time and she was amazed at how well he was speaking. I was so proud of him! He played with her and did everything that she wanted him to do with ease and confidence. He was so smart! He is now 34 1/2 inches tall (50th percentile) and weighs 28.6lbs (60th percentile) and his head measures 20 1/2 inches (90th percentile and oddly enough the exact length that his body was when he was born).

One other thing...Leigh from church makes the cutest little outfits and made Jackson this boxer set. I had to get some pictures in it. He was so cute!! Thanks Leigh!! We love it!

Jackson and his boxer set complete with white wifebeater...isn't that adorable!!!

Check out that belly!!!

Oh, and didn't I predict that a hurricane would be coming to shore right before our beach vacation. Cause I have luck like that. Keep your fingers crossed that gas prices stay low for another week and a half. Right now we are looking at $3.45 a gallon.


Bye ya'll! Have a great Monday!!

It's About Time

On the way to work today I spotted several gas stations selling regular unleaded for $3.59 a gallon. Whoo-hoo. Now if only they could keep the prices down for the next 2 weeks so I can get down to the beach for under $80 a tank. The way my luck is some huge hurricane will blow into town and gas prices will hit $5 before we head to Gulf Shores.

Could lower gas prices have anything to do with this? I'm thinking so...I say drill away!! I won't even talk about Nancy Pelosi pulling her communist garbage and dismissing Congress to avoid a vote. Who does she think she is? I won't go there. It makes me furious!!

The way I see it, I can still enjoy the beach with a few oil rigs out there. They won't bother me at all. So all you liberal, global warming fanatic, anti-drilling "green" people out there, if you want to pay $5 a gallon, you go right ahead. As for me, I would love to see gas get back to about .80 a gallon like it was when I turned 16, and I'm only 27 and look at prices now. You can just look the other way when we drop an oil rig offshore, because the other 70% of Americans that are for drilling are a little sick of these ridiculous prices.

I just read that Alaska is paying an average of $4.64 per gallon (that is cringe worthy), and the national average is now down to $3.86 per gallon. Way down here in the south, I am loving that we are back in the $3.50's. It is so nice to only see the pump hit $75 and then cut off. It just makes my day!

It's about time.

What are the prices in your neck of the woods? Let's play a really fun and not at all depressing game and see who can post the highest gas price that they have seen in their area, along with the lowest price in your area. Leave me some love!!

Can you see me dancing?

I just paid $3.65 a gallon to fill up my car. Whoo-hooo!
