A Mother's Day Luau

For Mother's Day my mom wanted us to all go to a Luau a friend of hers was putting on the Sat. before Mother's day. It was a ton of fun and just like a real Luau. The food was even better then the one in Hawaii. ( course I was just barely prego then and threw everything up so who knows) 

I didn't get a picture but J got called up a couple of times first he was asked to drink Coconut Milk ( which he didn't like but was a great sport about it) 

Then they had him come learn a dance which he did great at. 

Me and my Beautiful children

It was a great Mother's Day I got a Huge breakfast made by my Husband he even did the best job ever cleaning up ( now I know that he really knows how to clean so he is in trouble now)

For dinner he prepared all by himself a Crab Dinner with Fresh corn on the cob. We ate and ate till we were stuffed, thanks babe it was a GREAT Mother's day!

These are a Few of my Favorite Things

This year we started a tradition (that we stole from the Worthen's) which is "Favorite Things Night" Each of us it to pick something that is our favorite, that we love, use all the time and then bring one for everyone. It is also a girls night where we go out to dinner and spend the whole night together. For dinner we all put our name in a hat ( a Cummard tradition) and whoever got drawn gets to pick dinner. I got picked and chose CPK. 

After dinner we went back to Cheryl's and let the exchanging begin. 

First up was Sarah she chose MFY! 

Next Suzie- Fabulouso cleaner, scrapbook paper and accesories

Kanoe gave everyone her favorite snack foods! and some awesome wash cloths

I was next and forgot to take a pic. but I gave a couple of reusable Grocery bags that I love, Oreos and Oxi Clean spray that I cannot live without. 

Summer gave us each a Precious Moments which she collects each was a different letter and a cute Poem about why she loves us attached to the letter so cute.  

Cheryl gave us an Egg grater, a cd and the cutest Handwriting book.

Syd gave everyone a Red Velvet Sprinkles Cupcake her fav. she also had a few banana bread ones for those of me who do not like red velvet (thanks syd)

Can't wait for next year I am already planning my next thing. 5.7.09

Family Golf Night

A few weeks ago Stephen took it upon himself to plan a big date night for his family.  We went to Crossroads Indoor Virtual Golf. Everyone was able to come and it was so much fun. It was everyone's first time (except for Steve's ) doing the virtual golf. We played as couple's and hit every other ball. It was such a fun time I have never liked golfing so much. It was a little hard to get used to but once we got the hang of it we did alright. Stephen and I even ended up winning best score. 

I didn't get everyone hitting but I did get most of the girls. Does'nt Kanoe  look like a pro! 5.2.09

Look at that Power Swing. He is really into it as you can see!

Spider Boy

Every time Hudson sees a spider or what he thinks might be a Spider he yells "Spider Spider" this time he ran and got some tissue paper picked it up and put it in the toilet. Course it was only a piece of black lint. But what a big strong little man I have. May 1

Garbage Picker

It is J's job to take out all the garbages, and every time he pulls one or two thing out to keep, broken things papers to make into airplanes.  He is quite a character

Miss P- 9mo.

My baby girl is now 9 mo. old & cuter everyday. 

Last check-up

29 1/2 in.  95%

17lbs. 11oz   25%

Some of her new fav's are Food, she eats non stop just like her momma. 

she LOVES to bop her head around to the music or just when she gets happy. She absolutely loves her daddy and brothers and the feeling is totally mutual. She even has a little boyfriend that she spent a night making out with. ( she will only kiss him to everyone else she turns her head) As you can see she loves to pull out all the wipes in the case and then eat them. I have no idea why. She loves to wave Hi and Bye, clap and walk behind the fire truck. Anytime she doesn't like the feel of the ground she gets on all four and stink bugs it. She also loves the pool and could stay there all day hanging out in the water. I love her more and more everyday and am loving every new stage. 

Dad's 50th

For my Dad's 50th birthday, we all put together this Shadow Box of Dad'isms. If you know my dad you know that he likes to talk a lot and always has some one liner to say here are 50 of them but trust me the list went on and on. We also had appetizer's for dinner in honor of his idea the "Appetizer House" restaurant. Everything was great and of course it ended with his favorite cake. Thanks everyone for all the help ( we finished it in one afternoon) 

Easter Festivities

We started off the week with J's School Easter Party. First they went to the retirement home where they sang songs 

Passed out Easter Bags and Eggs

Then there was a hunt( that was hard since J couldn't run, luckily I went to help out my boy) 

Next painting Eggs at G-ma C's

Jackson's Perfect Egg

Finally Easter Morning

The Hunt, Huddy would squeal every time he saw an egg

Jackson finding the egg he painted

Our only Family Easter picture, since we were a half hour late for church ( i thought it started at 12:30) only Presley is wearing her original Church outfit

Jackson helping Hudson get an egg that went under the truck

When we did a hunt at my mom's house J was not happy. First we there wasn't candy in the eggs so he threw a tantrum. Then they were too easy too find so yet another tantrum. Apparently sugar and a long day are not good for J. All in all a great Easter weekend. The best part was Jackson explaining to my mom what Easter is REALLY about. I guess he does listen after all.

I am a Re -TeX

Jackson came up to me the other day after he had wet his hair down and asked if he look liked a "Re-Tex" I thought he meant "Retard " which made me sad that he was saying that but then he said " you know the dinosaur" he meant " T-REX"  what a funny kid.

They took my Balls out

About 6 months ago we found out J had a Hernia it didn't hurt him but the doc told me to see a surgeon, he found another one and thought it was best to take them out. So last week we got up at 5 a.m. and headed off. 

I was surprised J wasn't going crazy with how tired he was. 

1 1\2 hrs. before the surgery they sent us to the FUN room, with toys, puzzles, books, games and anything else you can imagine. He even got to decorate the mask they were using to put him under.

Jackson got this cool outfit to wear (which took a little coercing) 

Then he was off. 

After it was over and we came to see him this is what he looked like for the next hour and a half. We tried everything to get him up. Stephen had bought him a ton of prizes, but none of it worked. The next 2 weeks are going to be the hardest he is'nt supposed to do any strenuous activity including running, jumping or bike riding ( not so easy to stop a 5 yr. old boy from stopping) We are just so happy it turned out just fine, he is now one Healthy 5 yr. old boy. 

Anytime someone would ask him about it he said " They gave me a Hernia" and he asked me if " they took his balls out" ( well not exactly son but close)
