Thanks for 17 years Pebbles

On Tuesday, April 21st, Mom and Dad said good-bye to Pebbles. She gave them lost of love and joy for 17 years. That's 119 dog year!!

Random pictures of Jackson

Ok, so I finally uploaded pictures from Emily's camera and mine. Emily gets great shots of her little man. This picture is Jackson at >24hrs old at the hospital.

This one Emily took herself in her apartment at about 1 week

This is about 5-6 weeks ago, at Emily's apartment

This is one that I took on one of the Sunday's I have him. He loves the Baby Einstine tunnel that I got for only $15 at Sam's club!!!

Here's Jackson sporting his Jordan duds.

Emily took this at her apartment (before moving in). He looks like he has dwarf legs in this shot.

This was taken after the last of their stuff was unloaded from the Uhal on April 12th. Zipper just got up on the chair and joined Jackson. Jackson was such a good bye that day. For the last load he hung out with Uncle Steve and his cousins, Grant and Logan.

Meanwhile, on that same day, I had my new washer and dryer delivered. I got a great deal at House to Home (formerly Dennis Distributing). LG Tromm front loads, gas dryer. New used just some scraps and dings. The set, delivery and tax came to $1001! That is the price of just one new unit, not a set! Love them.

HAPPY EASTER

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. This is Logan and Jackson after dinner.

Wishing our friends and family a Happy Easter.

Updates: Steve and family are back from spring training in Florida (oh the sacrifices they must take for baseball). Emily and Jackson are preparing to move in with me so Emily can get some debt taken care of. She is looking forward to having a dishwasher (not me, the electric kind) and I will enjoy her large screen TV. My roof was started on tuesday . . . looking good. Tim Lea Builders is doing it. I also bought a new washer/dryer set today at Dennis Distributing. It has a few scratches (who cares) and the washer is a little darker than the dryer (again, who cares) . . . set was $898. LG Tromm, front load, gas dryer. I am very excited! Delivery saturday. Plus, I am getting a set of dark green leather couches, hand-me-downs from Dad's friends!!! I am a lucky girl :)


Here is Jackson last saturday ready to cheer on the Spartans.

Jackson actually watches TV . . . not a good trait to get from Aunt Robyn

Jackson growing

Jackson loves the Baby Einstein tunnel (and the cats do too). Well, as Jackson hit the side, London attacked under! It was hilarious! My friend and her son Wes (16months old) were there and he found it hilarious . . . screaming with excitement. Jackson was unfazed by it.

Emily got a Bumba from a friend. Jackson does such a good job of holding his head up (has for a while now). I love the expression on his face here . . . looks like he is striking a pose

How precious! Emily sent me this from her cell phone to mine. He fell asleep with his finger in his mouth! Such a guy!!

So, I learned more about Grant needing a new suit. Turns out they went to a tailor to have them taken out but there wasn't enough material so the suit became a hand-me-down to Steve and they had it taken in . . . a lot in. As I was told, the tailor kept having to ask him to step off the cuff.

Right now the boys are in Florida for spring training. They flew out Wednesday and Steve and Sue fly out tonight. Apparently, the nice Duffle bags on wheels that I got the boys for Christmas were like 2 inches too long for the airlines acceptable size (luckily Steve thought to check on line before going to the airport). What is the next constraints the airlines will put on us?
