Easter pics

Here our our Easter pictures from this weekend. We had a wonderful time. It just so happened that both Jeremy and I were off on Friday so we got to spend it together. What a rare treat!! Usually one of us is at work, when the other is off, so it was nice to spend the day with Jeremy and Jackson. Saturday, we went to church for an Easter Egg hunt, and I was so proud to say that Jackson got the Golden Egg!! (I found it and put it into his basket, but that is a secret between you and me!). Then Saturday night I made bbq and the family came over. We watched Bee Movie again, which is so stinking funny.

Sunday, we went to church and had a good time, except that I got the dreaded motion to come back to the nursery during the service. It seems that Jackson was pitching such a fit that they couldn't get him to calm down. He even went and put his nose into a corner and just sobbed. That is when they came and got me, and wouldn't you know it..he just needed his Mama. He was fine when I got there, so I stayed for the rest of church. When church was done, we headed over to Mom and Dad's for lunch with my family. We had tons of food, and lots of good company, so it was great. After Jackson took his nap, we headed home. It was a perfect afternoon until Jackson stuck his finger so far up Jeremy's nose that it started bleeding. Other than that little mishap, it was a great day and a terrific weekend. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

The hunt begins

Jackson was so much more interested in the toys than the eggs!

KK and Jackson just chillin...

This kid is so cool, he's hot!

Thats all folks......Have a great Monday!

Works for Me Wednesday

Today is once again WFMW over at Shannon's. If you are anything like me, and terrible at planning menus out for the week, I have a wonderful idea for you. I found out about a great website, called E-Mealz that plans weekly menus and gives you easy shopping lists to take to the store with you, and even tells you the price of each item if you are on a budget so you know exactly what you are going to spend for that week. You can choose from tons of plans that include Walmart, Publix, and Kroger, diet specific plans such as Weight Watchers, vegetarian, or low fat menus, or even specific plans that feed families (4-6 people) or meals plans that serve only 2 people. The grocery story plans are based on the current sales.

E-Mealz gives you a complete meal for each day, and breaks down the list by section in the store. That way, you don't end up walking the aisles over and over. E-Mealz costs only $5.00 a month, and all the menus are in pdf file, so you can save them on your computer and use them again and again. I only subscribed for a 3 month period, but I still have all the menus that I can still use.

I have gotten some great recipes from E-Mealz, and the convenience of having someone else help me plan is wonderful. For only $15, it was definitely worth it for us. For those people who need a little help with menus, this could definitely work for you!

Happy Monday

I have so many things to share with you today. First of all, this was the weekend that Jeremy's sweet sister Amy was moving her stuff to Auburn to prepare for the big day. So after the big move, everyone came and stayed with us Saturday night. It has been awhile since Amy and Adam have seen Jackson, so they just had a great time with him. After Jackson had gone to bed, us "grown ups" embarrassed, I m ean enjoyed, ourselves playing Guitar Hero. In case you were wondering, I stink at that. Much like with piano, my hands cannot do different things at the same time. It just doesn't work. I have to say, it was hilarious watching Jeremy's dad. I have video that I joked about putting on to youtube, but I really like him too much to embarass him like that. Janet, Amy, and Jeremy were good with it, but I have to give kudos to Adam who is AWESOME on that game. I'm so jealous....

Amy's expression is priceless

And I have a funny story to share. Yesterday, as I was trying to cook supper, I was doing my best go get Jackson to stay away from the oven as I was checking on stuff. So in the background, I keep hearing him screaming, "MYYYY MAAACCCEE" over and over and I could see him running back and forth to the living room, and then back into the kitchen, screaming for "My Mace" the whole time. When I peeked around the corner, I saw him leaning over her food bowl in the kitchen and then running into the living room to "deliver" her some food. She would then eat it out of his hand and he would run back for more. Isn't that cute!

Delivered in 30 minutes or less....or it's free!

Pardon the red eye. This was on his way back into the kitchen for more food.

I also want to wish my 2nd cousin, Gage, a wonderful Happy Birthday. He turns 2 today, and I hope he has a great day. Happy Birthday Gage!!!

Oh, and Happy St. Patricks Day. Jackson went to school with a shirt, courtesy of his KK, that says, Part Irish, All Trouble. That pretty much sums up my sweet little boy. Have a great Monday!

19 months old!!

Hey ya'll. I promised updates on little man, so here goes. Today is Jackson's 19 month b'day. I can't believe that we are quickly approaching 2 years old. Time has really flown by!!!

Here is what's new with Jackson

• He is now getting in trouble at school for kissing Kaitlynn. You may remember that Kaitlynn is the little girl that is always biting him. Apparently...it is love at first bite :) They have to give each other at least 2 hugs before I can take him home in the afternoon. They are a mess and just smile at each other. He calls her Kate Kate. Future daughter-in-law????
• Jackson has mastered the word "NO", and he will now contemplate your question before giving you a "No" as the answer. Always. No matter what you ask him. For instance:

Me: "Jackson, do you want some goldfish?"

Jackson: (picture a slight head tilt as he ponders what you are asking...head comes back upright, and he promptly says) "no."

• Jackson's favorite words are: truck, car, no, shoes, Dadddddyyyyyy, Maaaammmmaaaa, and he now calls Macy "My Mace". He calls Kellyn 'Kay Kay' which we love because that was what my Grandpa was called by my cousin Brandi. I definitely love that little family tie in.
• He is VERY good at baby sign for more, eat, milk, please, and we are working on thank you.
• He has learned to say "tee-tee" when he pottys in his diaper. Potty training soon? Maybe in the near future!!!

He is doing tons of fun stuff daily, and has developed such a cute personality. I am so in love with this kid!!

P.S. If you are in the family, or a close friend, mark on your calendar for his 2nd B'day party on August 9th. That way I can go ahead and claim the date. Thanks!

New videos

Jackson has the sweetest laugh I have ever heard!

Jackson playing with his truck. The dog barking incessantly in the background would be Macy. That is what we live with...

Showing off his playground skills

New Pics

Jackson's shirt says it all :) This time change is killing me.

This boy seriously loves trucks

For the love...if I want something done, I guess I just have to do it myself!

Macy does not like what has happened to her peaceful backyard

Check out his face. Isn't it cute!

This is what he does when it is time to go inside. And then he cries. A LOT!

Train a child in the way he should go...

Vacuume wars with Daddy

That Daddy of mine, he's so silly!!

Check back later today for videos and more new stuff. Today, Jackson is 19 months old and I have so many updates on our little monkey. See ya'll later!

Works for Me Wednesday

I have a super easy recipe for today’s edition of WFMW over at Rocks in My Dryer. It is Easy Macaroni and Cheese, and it really could not be simpler. Here goes.

Easy Macaroni and Cheese
1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
8 oz shredded cheese
2 eggs
¾ cup milk
1tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350. Boil macaroni and drain. In a separate bowl, mix eggs, milk, and salt. In a small baking dish, add a layer of macaroni and cover with cheese, and repeat. Pour the egg mixture over the entire dish, and bake uncovered for 45 minutes.

It is so good, tastes better than the stuff out of the box, and it’s easy enough that I can make in a pinch as a side dish. It definitely Works For Us!!! I hope ya'll enjoy, and come back to visit me soon!

Joys of Parenting

Let me share with you what my sweet son Jackson did on Saturday. We had a busy morning with a Easter bunny photo shoot, and then Jeremy and I were going to head to a local car dealer and test drive an Uplander. Mom was set to watch Jackson, but we had a little time to kill, so we stopped by Chick-Fil-A for some lunch. This is THE place to be on Saturday if you have a child. The food is good, the kid meals are tasty, and they have a great indoor playground. It is always packed.

So picture this: Saturday at 12:45 in the afternoon. Chick-Fil-A is crawling with kids and parents. One of those days where you have to pounce if you see an empty table. After Jackson had finished his lunch I decided to be a cool mom and treat him to some dessert. If you turn in the cheap toy they give you, you can get a free kids cone. I got the kids cone, and a regular cone for Jeremy. Jackson has never really had an ice cream cone, so he was busy sticking his nose into every time he tried to get a bite. It was so cute, and he was a mess. When he got through, there was still a little ice cream left, and seriously, I was not going to let it go to waste. I put Jackson in the booth (he was ready to go by this time), and I proceeded to try to eat a few bites.

Between the messy cone, and Jackson crawling off and on my lap, I was rather distracted. This may be why I didn’t immediately realize that Jackson had stuck his hand so far down my shirt that my entire left boob was hanging out of my v-neck sweater. In plain view of everyone walking in the door. I was so shocked, that I immediately spit out on to the table the bite of the ice cream cone that I had just eaten. There I was, ice cream dripping off my chin, boob exposed (thank goodness I wasn’t wearing a lace bra), and Jeremy sitting there not saying a word. All I could do was laugh! The worst part: I have no idea how long I was sitting there like that. Jeremy obviously wasn’t paying me much attention. He was enjoying his ice cream cone.

So with that... to all the parents at the Prattville Chick-Fil-A on Saturday. I’m sorry. I really didn’t know that I was showing all my business to you (and/or kids, in-laws, neighbors, church youth group, and random college students that seriously needed a shower). I promise that I will do my best to never let it happen again. It will be a long time before Jackson will be getting another ice cream cone.

This kid is tuckered out

We could even make the "transfer" for a picture without him waking up!

Talking on the phone

He wears his hats pulled so low that he can't even see. He insists that it be this way. Too funny!

He has to lift his head up all the way to see anything when he has his hat on!

That's all for today. I hope you have a wonderful week. Bye Ya'll!!

Backwards Day

Today is a Backwards edition of WFMW over at Rocks in my Dryer. That means that I get to post a problem that I have, and hopefully someone out there in blog world can help me solve it. I actually have two things going on that I need some help with

Here’s the first issue: Our son Jackson is almost 19 months old. I swore that we would lose his pacifier (also known as “dat”) when he turned 1 year old. Now, 7 months later, he is still firmly attached to his pacifier, and unfortunately, I must admit that I am kinda attached to it also. Does anyone have any advice on how to get rid of the pacifier? I know it’s not going to be fun or easy to lose it, but it needs to go.

The other thing is that Jackson has really bad eczema. We have tried most of the expensive lotions, creams, and baby bath that claim to treat eczema (several from our pediatrician), and they have worked for a little while, but then it comes back again. Is there anything that has worked really well at clearing up eczema for you or your children? His skin was really clear during the summer last year (apparently chlorine water is really good for it), and we are just wanting something to tide us over until swimming season again. The winter weather is killing us!

Thanks for any advice you can offer. I hope you have a great day, and come back to visit me soon!

Weekend update

I am going to have to make this short, sweet, and to the point.

• Jackson's surgery for his second set of tubes went great! We can already tell a huge difference in how he is acting, and he is so happy now!
• We had a great visit with Jeremy's parents this weekend. They got here late on Friday night, and although Jeremy had to work on Saturday, we went and had lunch with him. Jackson loved spending time with them, and he was worn out after they left. We will see them again in 2 weeks.
• Update on Kellyn: She is doing much better. She did not fracture her jaw, so that is a huge praise. She is still really swollen, and has been referred to an oral surgeon for them to see what they think. Keep praying for her!

I am super busy at work right now, so I will talk to you later. Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Gigi!

I want to wish my Mother-in-law, Janet (aka Gigi) a very Happy Birthday today. They are coming to visit tomorrow so we are really excited about getting to see them again. Sooo without further ado...

Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday dear Giiiiiggggiiiiiiii. Happy Birthday to you!

In other news, please remember Jackson tomorrow with his surgery. I had to jump through 1800 hoops yesterday with the insurance companies before it was finally approved. It seriously took 6 hours to work everything out. Something about a waiting period and other nonsense. Anyways. It all got worked out, so sometime tomorrow morning, he will have his second set of tubes put in. Please say a little prayer for him.

While you are praying for Jackson, toss another one up for my little sister Kellyn. She had a bad reaction to a routine TB test yesterday at a local Doc-in-the-box place that shall not be named. She ended up passing out and fell face first onto the tile floor. Her top tooth ended up going through her lip, and her jaw may be fractured. They can't tell yet because of the swelling. There are a bunch of issues surrounding this, so just be in prayer for a few specific things:

1. That she feels better soon. It is so hard to see my favorite little sister feeling so bad.
2. Her teeth aren't damaged too severely, and that the antiobiotics prevent infection in the tooth.
3. That her jaw isn't fractured.
4. That the place of business does "right" by her. That they take responsiblity for the accident.

I guess that's it. I will update later. Once again, Happy Birthday Janet! I hope everyone has a great day, and a good weekend.

Works for me Wednesday

Once again it is WFMW over at Rocks in my Dryer. Apparently, all I am good at sharing is Crockpot recipes, but who doesn’t love a good Crockpot meal? I got this recipe from an old high school friend, and I loved it. The leftovers would have been great had they not gotten forgotten and sat out all night. It reminds me a lot of Sante Fe soup, but with chicken. So delicious!

Chicken Taco Soup
1 chopped onion
1 16 oz can chili beans
1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 15 oz corn, drained (I also added 1 small can of shoe peg corn)
1 8 oz tomato sauce
1 can chicken broth
2 cans Rotel, un-drained (Use the mild Rotel if you're not a hot-spicy fan)
1 pkg taco seasoning
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of fat

Place ingredients 1-7 in a slow cooker. Stir in taco seasoning. Lay chicken breasts on top until just covered by other ingredients. Cook on low for 5 hours. Take out chicken breasts and shred and then stir back into soup. Cook 2 more hours. Garnish with sour cream, shredded cheese, and crushed tortilla chips. (I cooked the chicken a little longer than 5 hours to begin with, and the chicken was literally falling apart. I then added it back and cooked for about an hour longer).
This is so easy and I can’t wait to have it again. I hope you enjoy!

Elijah Oliver

Congrats to Allison and Jason on the birth of their 3rd child. Elijah Oliver Muehling was born today, one month early, weighing in at 5.5 lbs and 18 inches long. Allison and Eli and doing great. I will post pictures later.

Let's try this again shall we...

We have been trying to get Jackson to begin drinking from a regular cup. My sister Kellyn's mother-in-law Jeanette, taught her granddaughter to drink from a cup by offering her some REALLY cold water, and it only took a few minutes for her to realize what happens when you tip the cup over too far. Jackson asked for some water the other day and we decided to try it with him. These are the results:

In the second video you can see him signing the word for "more" and "please." These have been so great for him to learn. We are also working on "thank you" right now. His teachers at school have really done a good job with this.

I promise Jackson was okay from the water. His clothes were soaked when we were finished, and my floor was covered in water. So for right now, I think we are just going to slowly keep trying. I keep telling myself that by the time he graduates from high school we should be finished with the paci and he should be able to drink from a cup. Right? Let's hope so. Potty training...Puh-lease. Who needs that...

Jackson want a cracker?

I was pretending to break a cracker with my hand, and Jackson found it hilarious!

It's Deja Vu all over again

Hey ya'll. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. We spent Saturday helping Leslie and Mike clean out their backyard. It was such a humbling experience. When we got there a little after 8:00, the backyard was a mess. It sounds so stupid to think, but I never really thought about how you clean up after a tornado. It leaves such tiny debris, but it is everywhere. So it was tons of raking bits and pieces of shingles, paper, nails, plastic, wood, leaves, limbs...you name it. There was a busload of volunteers that was actually dropped off right outside Leslie's house, and we all just worked side by side cleaning up a little at a time. When it came time to get the roof off the pool, I was certain at A) someone was going to fall in the pool, and B) that the roof was going to end up in the pool instead of on it. However, neither happened. They attacked the roof with chainsaws, and just dismantled it, and within a couple of hours the roof was gone. It was amazing!

The saddest thing that happened was after I had been there for a little while a middle aged man came over from the yard behind Leslie and Mike's. The house was destroyed, and most of the roof/attic ended up in their backyard. He told me that it was his parent's house and many years ago they lost a baby. They had a small hope chest in the attic and it was the only thing that his mother wanted to retrieve from the mess. It was full of everything she had left from her baby. My Mom and I immediately moved to his yard, and starting moving debris. We had found a congratulations card for a baby in Leslie's yard, along with part of a funeral register. After searching for several hours in the other yard, we came across a white teddy bear in a Ziploc bag that was in the chest.

We never found anything else.

How does that happen? How do you lose everything like that...all those memories and keepsakes just gone. So sad. The Mother was shocked that we were able to find what we did. By the time the day was over, Leslie's entire yard, along with two neighbors, was clean. It was hard work, but so worth it, even the pain from my tetanus shot. I will be back on Saturday to help more. There is still so much to be done.

In other news, Jackson will be having surgery on Friday to put tubes back into his ears. This will be his second set, so be in prayer that he will do great during the procedure, and that this will be the last set that he needs. Have a great day!

So here's my question...

Rick and Bubba had a great discussion yesterday about voting, and they were very honest and said that they were not sure that there were going to be voting in the Presidential election this coming November. Their reasoning: They are Christian, very conservative, and simply don't like the choices this year. They feel that John McCain is simply too moderate for them, and they have serious objections to his views on several vital issues. Their producer, Speedy, had the opinion that he was going to vote for the lesser of two evils, meaning John McCain. Rick pointed out that if you vote for the lesser of two evils, you are still voting for evil. Both Rick and Bubba felt that maybe having a landslide election in favor of the Democrats would show the Republican party that people want more conservative people to choose from.

What do you think? Is NOT voting okay if you don't have a dog in the race. I didn't realize how moderate McCain was, and now I am all confused on what to do. I have voted in every election since I turned 18, and I hate the thought of not voting, but as a Christian (and a Republican), should I go vote for someone simply because they are Republican. I would love to hear your opinions, especially if you are a card carrying member of the "I Hate Hillary" group. Even if you are not, I would still love your opinion. All I can say is thank goodness the election is still 9 months away. Maybe that will give me time to decide what to do...

Oh, and I will post a new video of Jackson later. Have a great day!

Works for me Wednesday

Once again it is Works for me Wednesday over at Shannon's place. For today, I have a recipe from my super Mother-in-Law, Janet, that is my hubbie's favorite thing to eat in the world. It is called Crockpot Beans and is tastes amazing, and couldn't be easier to throw in the Crockpot and enjoy when you get home. Here goes..

Crockpot Beans

Add to Crockpot:

1 can Lima beans drained

1 can Pinto beans drained

1 can Pork-n-Beans

1 can Kidney beans drained

1 1/2 lbs of ground beef drained

1 lb bacon (I use the quick kind you put in the microwave, about 10-12 slices) crumbled

1 small chopped onion

1 chopped Bell pepper (optional)

In a separate bowl mix:

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup ketchup

1/2 BBQ sauce (The BBQ sauce can really change the taste. If you like spicy, use spicy. I use honey bbq)

1/2 cup worcestershire sauce

Add the sauce mix to the crockpot and stir well. Cook on low for 5-6 hours. Serve over white rice. I hope you enjoy!

The aftermath...

I was able to get into Mom and Dad's neighborhood yesterday after Jackson's doctor's appointment, and I was shocked. It is devastated. They have determined that it was an EF3 tornado that hit the area, with winds between 140-150 miles an hour and 1/4 of a mile wide. The tornado was actually caught on surveillance camera. It was enormous!! I have never in my life seen such destruction up close, and to have it literally so close to home. There are piles of debris that are at least 10 feet high one after another. Unbelievable...

Here are a few photos of the damage that I was able to take.

The triangle above is actually a complete roof sitting on Leslie's pool

Please continue praying for the folks affected by this storm in Prattville, and all over the Southeast. The damage will take a long time to repair, and they are going to need ALOT of prayers. Thanks ya'll.

Happy Birthday Jeremy, and a HUGE prayer request

I want to wish Jeremy a Happy 29th B'day. He is such a wonderful husband to me, and a fabulous Daddy to Jackson, and we both love you so much. Happy Birthday!!!

In other news, please be in prayer for the city of Prattville, AL. There were about 200 homes and businesses hit by a tornado yesterday afternnon, and the city is a wreck. The tornado struck my parents neighborhood, and by the grace of God, their home was fine. Mom, Dad, Kellyn, and Jason were all there, and they were all okay. I was at home with Jackson and got a phone call from Mom and all she said was, "Get in the closet now!!" and then she hung up. I was terrified. I just kept thinking that if something happens to them, my entire family (outside of Jeremy and Jackson) were together and that I could lose them all. Luckily, everyone in the neighborhood was okay other than some minor cuts and scrapes. The damage is so close to their house, and my parents say that I won't even recognize the area. You can't tell me that God doesn't work miracles. 200 homes damaged or destroyed, and no lives lost. Some of our friends from church, Leslie and Mike, and their three year old son, Noah lost their home. Leslie is pregnant, and due in July, so please remember them in your prayers. They were able to salvage some stuff from their house, but the home is destroyed. Their next door neighboors roof is literally sitting in their pool right now. Please lift everyone up in your prayers, and thank God that no one was hurt. I will be heading to Mom and Dad's house after Jackson's appt. today.

Once again, Happy Birthday Jeremy. He is such a wonderful guy that he is using his day off to help clean up some of the mess from the tornadoes. Jeremy, you are amazing, and I love you. Happy Birthday!

Congratulations Kellyn!!!

Kellyn passed her Board exams for her license as an Occupational Therapist!!! Way to go Kellyn!!! We are so proud of you, and I want to be the first one to welcome you to the real world. It's so much fun out here!

Happy Valentines Day and Half B'day for Little Man

Happy Valentines Day!! I hope your day is going wonderful. Mine has been good so far, busy at work, but good.

Today is Jackson's Half Birthday!! Our little monkey is 18 months old. I can't believe it. We go to the doctor on Monday for his checkup and shots, but until then, I thought I would share a few new things about our little man.

• He loves chips and salsa. We went out for Mexican last night before church, and he kept insisting on dipping his little chip pieces into the salsa. At first I didn't want to let him, because I thought it would burn his tongue, but he kept insisting, so I figured, who not? He tried it, and then literally sucked the salsa off the chip. He LOVED it!!! He definitely inherited that trait from his Nana, who we joke with by telling her that she has literally burned the taste buds off of her tongue. Nothing phases her.
• His favorite veggie is green beans. He loves them!
• He can identify most body parts: Eyes, ears, nose, mouth, chin, hair, toes, fingers, legs, arms, and his favorite, the belly button. He is so funny.
• His new words are: shark, hush, fish, and tons of babbling that I can't quite figure out.
• His favorite word is still truck. He LOVES trucks and points them out all the time. So cute!

In other news, our Soles4Souls drive is going great We have collected 349 pairs of shoes so far, and my girls are so excited! Our goal is 500 pairs, so if you have any shoes taking up space in your closet, get in touch with me and I will gladly take them off your hands. I hope you have a wonderful Valentines Day, and have a great Thursday!

Gotta love Alabama!!!

You gotta love living in a state where it can be 70 degrees on Tuesday and snowing on Wednesday. You really can’t beat that. We have had lots of snow flurries today, but none of it is sticking. Imagine that. It is however, so stinking cold outside right now. I think the high for the day is the upper 40's, but the windchill is in the mid 20's right now.

In other news, plans were just announced for my high school’s 10 year reunion. Here we come...Prattville High School class of 98. Whoo-hoooo. I am so excited. It is going to be the weekend after Amy’s wedding, and we are going to go to a Montgomery Biscuits game on Friday night, have a picnic on Saturday at lunch, and then have the last part of the reunion at the Robert Trent Jones clubhouse. I can’t wait to see everyone again!!

I guess that's about it. Have a great Wednesday!

Works for me Wednesday...

I have a super easy crockpot spaghetti sauce that works great for those working days when you want something hot when you get home. It's so simple and always tastes wonderful. Here goes.

1lb browned ground beef

2 cans petite cut diced tomatoes undrained

2 jars of spaghetti sauce (whatever flavors you like) I usually mix a Ragu Traditional and a Ragu Veggie

1 can of cream of mushroom soup

Dash of garlic salt

Dash of sugar

Whatever else you like to season with

Add everything into your Crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours. When you get home, cook some Angel hair pasta and then you're done. It is so good, and I promise that it really can't be any simpler. Have a great day!

Not much new...

Except that my $10 rebate from Kohl's came in the mail yesterday. Whoo-hooo. It only took 3 months to get a Thanksgiving rebate. See it pays to be persistant, especially when you are talking about rocking the bank with a whopping ten dollars. I mean seriously folks, imagine all the stuff I can buy....
