Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day from Jackson! He had is party at school today and his teacher said he didn't know where to start or stop eating! He also made the cutest craft at school with a lot of help I am sure, but they did have him color it. I can't tell you how blessed we are that he goes to such a great place.

Nina, Pop, Brady, and Brittany sent Jackson the cutest lion that shakes and giggles which he has had a big time with, he started clapping when he opened it! We have a pretty low-key day planned tomorrow I am afraid, just hanging out at home as a family. I think Jackson and I will make some cupcakes and and maybe have a heart shaped grilled cheese or two!

Yay! A noisy toy!

Of course the packaging was much more fun to play with!

Me, ready for school with the lion Nina & Pop sent.

I am not sure what I was trying to do here.

The Weekend

Believe it or not, I finally did a couple of things we can report, we made it out of the land of the boring!

Friday night Chad kept Jackson so that Tarinda and I could go see "He's Just Not That Into You". It was one of my favorite books in college and I read it not that long before I met Chad. A few years ago I reccomended it to Tarinda when she was going through a rough time and she loved it too, so it seemed fitting we would go together. I can not tell you how cute it is! We really enjoyed it. It wasn't quite what I pictured after reading the book which was hard to overlook but I think anyone who hasn't read the book would think it was awesome.

Chad had the afternoon off on Saturday so we went to his mom and dad's for the day since we don't get there often. Jackson had such a good time playing with his cousins and enjoying the warm weather it was great.

Sunday was pretty laid back and we just sat home and enjoyed the nice day. Jackson wanted to stay outstide all day which would be less troublesome if he understood the concept of the electric fence, but since he doesn't I spent most of the time catching him and dragging him away from it.

We have a busy week this week but are looking forward to it. Jackson has his valentine's day party at school on Friday and his outfit made it just in time. Then we are looking forward to a nice 3-day weekend at home.

Playing in nana's pots and pans.

Johnny and I thought this was a really fun game!

Another favorite of me and all my cousins are these batons!

Me, Johnny, and Daddy outside on the deck.

Daddy couldn't figure out why I kept going in the garage while we were playing outside until he figured out I wanted this old exersaucer out.

Boring

I am afraid we are just boring lately! We really haven't done anything worth mentioning lately. Jackson is still so much fun and is changing all of the time. He is finally eating everything he can get his hands on although his favorite would have to be yogos, or "gogos" as he calls them. All that food hasn't helped him grow yet, he is still in his 6-12 month clothes but at least they are getting lots of use. He has been getting good reports from school and has even been sitting still for bible study time which is a miracle! Anyway, I thought I would share a few pictures even though it is nothing to exciting, we will have to find something fun to report soon!

Ready for school!

Wishing... and Hoping...

Wishing, hoping, and praying for a snow day (or two) here. Here are a few pictures in the mean time!

Winter at Waverly

We got a beautiful winter surprise today...an inch or two of snow! This was the first time that there has been enough for Jackson to play in and boy did he have fun! This is the first time he has really played outside for a long period of time since he has been able to walk so he ran from one end of the yard to the other! He was definitley more interested in running than the snow though. He must have had fun because once it was time to come inside he threw a fit and kept going back to the door.

Enjoy these few pictures of Jackson playing and a few of the sights aroung the farm. Jackson is finally feeling better and we are hoping to keep him healthy and ear infection free this time!

So sick

Rosedale called Chad Tuesday afternoon to tell him that Jackson had a fever of 103.7 and did not look right. Chad left right away since I had an FFA contest and was shocked at how bad he looked. By the time he got him home and took his temperature it was 103.9 so we panicked and took he to the pediatrician's emergency hours. Wouldn't you know that he has another double ear infection! This one has been the hardest on him by far and he just hasn't been himself. All he has done is sat in our laps which is so not Jackson. We are hoping he is better by the weekend we miss our boy!

We did have a low key weekend last week and had a great time just hanging out at the house together. I did get a few pictures of that!

We have done a lot of laying around the last few days!

Hanging out with dad over the weekend.

Catch Up

So since I am WAY behind on blogging...here are a ton of Christmas, Kentucky, and Powers Family Christmas Pictures so that I can start fresh! We had a wonderful holiday and are off to a great start in 2009!

Jackson loves this cow he got in (or on) his stocking. He carries it around the house and makes Chad and I give it hugs all the time!

Figuring out his new magnetic fishing poll for the bath tub.

Still working on it...

Driving and talking on the phone...I can't imagine where he got that from!

Nina and Pop got him this cow shaped pillow which was a huge hit...

he immediately threw it on the floor and layed on it.

Brushing his hair or talking one phone, we are not sure!
