My baby boy and his BAND Aides!!!

Jackson is obsessed. He loves BAND AIDES!!! So I caught him in the act!!! Climbing on his dresser to get the band aides down. Of course while I am laughing and trying to be serious, he looks at me and says Cheese!!!

"Where da basketball hooop? Where it go?"

So we took Jackson to his first hockey game on sunday night. The frist thing he said when he went into the US Airways center was... "Where da basketball hooop? Where it go?" It is funny how someone so young associates events with places. He knew that is where we go to watch the Suns play and was totally confused. But it didn't take long for daddy to explain what hockey was and Jackson was totally into it. Here are some of the pictures!! PS He had also gotten another haircut!! Please note that I DID NOT CUT HIS HAIR!!! We did go back to the hairdresser to have her fix the crooked cut!

Like any sporting event, Jackson loved the mascot! He could find the "bird" anywhere in the buidling! As we were leaving the "bird" was right by us and Jackson wasn't even scared about seeing him or giving him a high five!!

My Little Man..Ok he isn't so little anymore.

Well Jackson is growing like a weed and he totally is BALL CRAZY!!! This kids will do anything for you to go outside and "Shoot Da Ball" with him. He also enjoys climbing all over his 8 in 1 climber. However this is done with a minium of 1 ball in his hand.

So this weekend it was absolutely georgeous in Mesa! We hit 75 by Sunday and I was in heaven. So we ventured out as a family to enjoy the day. We headed over to a new development and played on the new play structures. It was nice to have them all to ourselves. Jackson loves climbing all over them. But as you can image, they had a basketball court so that is where the kid headed. He ran up and down that court it was so funny. He also gets so serious when he is there that it just makes me laugh. So anyways, I took some really neat pictures of him while Jamie was holding him up.

Jackson loves to follow Taylor around. They both have a good time together regardless of what Tyalor says. She loves to dote on him every chance she gets!!

Then Taylor spotted this hummingbird and Jamie captured some really cool pictures of it sitting in the tree.

Well I hope you enjoy my photos! Have a wonderful day!

Taylor's Sweet 16

So Taylor....She is going to be 16 soon. So to ensure I am ready for this big event I have done a ticker!



So as you can see.... 2 months 1 week 4 days until the big day! Now if you are reading this 2 days from now note the above will have changed...LOL

So we have begun to plan our big day. Taylor had many ideas of what she would like to do for the big day, but not all were that cost effective. I mean come on, she does want presents right??? So we have agreed on Amazing Jakes. Which is a cool fun place with an all you can eat buffet, laser tag, arcade games, and all that other fun stuff that kids just LOVE!!!! But this too is not cheep at all. We are talking $15.99 a kid!!! I mean come on people do people not realize that in ..........


I mean I will be unemployed!!! But I figured since the last three years I have gotten away with not very big parties that we could do this. So 14 kids later, 15 with her, plus 4 other adults and 1 Mr. Jackson we are talking 20 people. $319.80 PLUS Tax later! But you know a girl only turns 16 once so I have agreed. But I mean come on!!! $320!!!!! Now I have asked her mother to help. But I am not going to count on that until the monies are in hand. I am sure she will help out, so don't get me wrong, but I mean $320!!!!

So to be more frugal, I have asked Taylor to make her own invites. So I am saving at least $20 there. That has to be worth something! LOL

But in the end we have one happy girl and hopefully we will have a fun party. I will have to post pictures of Taylor's creative invites. She is a good card maker and really has a talent for doing that. I will try and add that to my list of tasks!!

So stay tuned for more Birthday updates!!

Wow! I did it!!

Can you believe that I, Jennifer Mae Hines, has actually figured out something on my Blog site?? I mean what am I saying, I am so web savy that I am an expert! NOT!!!!

Anyways, I am very happy to say that I was able to add my little college at the top! I am very excited about it!


Happy are those who trust in the Lord! Proverbs 16:20
