Big Boy Bed

We finally grew tired of hearing poor Jackson rolling around and smacking into the wall and finding him on the floor after falling out of his toddler bed, SO we switched him over to a twin bed.

This is what the bug light looks like turned off- It goes a little bright on camera, don't worry it's not that bright in person.

He calls it his jungle, colorful bed. He loves it. I love how happy it makes him. I spent weeks trying to find a cute quilt, willing to spend anything on it- but unfortunately I didn't find anything that I loved, so I settled for this until I find something else, I do plan to make some throw pillows for it though- wish me luck!

Noni Gardens Tulip's

okay so this is an extremely long post with like 20 photos... but I had to limit it from 70 gorgeous shots to my top 20. I was seriously in heaven walking around Tahitian Noni's gardens yesterday. It was so beautiful. I have never seen so many varieties of daffodils and tulips. Plus, Kevin my little "green thumb" planted a lot of these bulbs last fall while working there last fall.


These pansies were so big, they were like 2-3 inches wide...

I loved these tiny daffodils!

Some of my favorite daffodils were these white and peach ones.


They planned all the color combinations so perfectly.

My favorite color of pink.... well, ok one of my favorite pinks...








One of my other favorites- the yellow one with that incredible center!

Closer of it...


This one is for Matt- this is my bug landing on flower close up! Not as good as his, but hey it's a start.

They keep the gardens closed to the public- but I think they need to open it up and charge a few dollars and give Thanksgiving Point a run for their money....

WE ARE ONLINE!!!

WAHOO!!!!!! YiPPie!!!!!! We have Internet in our own apartment! We haven been in our apartment for a year and a half and just today got Internet for the first time! I'm pretty excited.


Sooo...... Here's what we've been up to lately.

Jackson is 3 and a half and keeps me laughing. He is seriously my best little friend. Kevin is working long days for the Census bureau and is still in school. Usually he only gets to see Jackson for 30 minutes a day on work days.


Lately Jackson will be playing some game with all his stuffed animals and if I am caught watching him he stops playing and just stares at me, eventually he says "Leave" or "go mom" "I just want to play alone... So funny!!

The other day he came up to me and said
Jack: "Mom I have itchy legs"
Me: "Do you want some lotion on them?"
Jack: "No, I just pulled up my pant sleeves to scratch them"

I love it, Pant Sleeves!!!

Our Snowman

Eating Mac and Cheese... anyone want the leftovers???

The mini cupcakes I made for Bunco... Delicious!

Yes, that is a night time pull-up on his head. Check out all those freckles!
And please enjoy the video of Jackson's new hidden talent... It's a real "treat!"
