Birthday Party!
We survived. Actually, we more than survived and, it was a lot of fun.
Even better, it only happens once a year!
Kidding.... kinda...
We had some great kids spend the night and we had a good time. Started out by making our own grilled pizzas. The kids didn't do the grilling... I had Kelly manning the grill and Jaime helping them with the toppings. They were so good! I highly recommend grilling pizza! Then, we decorated our own little dinosaur cakes. Unfortunately, they were all eaten before we could do candles and "Happy Birthday." After that, we opened presents. Jackson has some great friends who gave him some awesome presents!
Then the big fun - the Adventure Walk! I took the boys on a walk after it got dark and they all had flashlights. On a side note, I apologize to my neighborhood - I tried to get them to be a bit quieter, but it didn't work. The boys were so funny... one would say, "Hey guys! I found a clue!" and all the rest of them would crowd around the "clue" and put their flashlights on it. The "clue" was a leaf, a spider, a hole in the cement, whatever one thought was a clue. We walked over by the creek and spotted a bunch of bunnies. Then we played a the playground for a few minutes. Next was the pond. The pond was an awesome surprise because we spotted a frog that was the size of a small soccer ball. IT WAS HUGE!
Came home from the walk, and got all of them into their pajamas. We lined up all the sleeping bags in the living room and they watched Madagascar 2. When it ended about 12:00, they were all still awake, so Chris turned on ESPN... and they all fell asleep.
This morning, they woke up around 8 and IMMEDIATELY started playing. We had Pigs in a Blanket for breakfast. They were all gone by 11:00.
The funniest part was when all of them started chanting, "Jackson Rocks!" over and over. He does rock. His party did, too.

Birthday Party
I love checking out my favorite bloggers because every day they have something new to say. I would not be one of my favorite bloggers. In fact, I probably would have deleted myself a long time ago. Unless I just wanted to look at some cute kids. So I apolgize to my followers... I will try harder to post more often.
Anyway, we're getting ready for the 5 year old's birthday party tonight. Sleepover party with 6 boys invited and a dinosaur theme. It's going to be so much fun!
Making and grilling our own pizzas for dinner. Then go on a discovery walk with flashlights! Come home and decorate our own dinosaur cakes, sing happy birthday! Then the boys will head to Jackson's room and set up the sleeping bags. We'll probably turn on Land Before Time and then it will be a contest to see who can go to sleep first! (Yeah, right...) We're going to have Pigs in a Blanket for breakfast. We also borrowed mom's Wii and made Mii's for some of the kids last night. That will occupy any other time that they need something to do.
I'm excited. I hope the boys don't freak out and ask to go home in the middle of the night. I know we're taking a chance with that one, they are only 5. I hope Jackson enjoys it and no one fights.
Our adventure begins around 6:30.....

Broken Bars
Last Thursday, as I was getting things ready for my party, I made Chocolate Oatmeal Bars. These are an oatmeal cookie layer with a chocolate layer and then oatmeal cookie dough dotted on top. They are little bites of heaven the way the chocolate and the oatmeal perfectly balance each other.
Anyway, I was in the bedroom and Jackson walks in and says, "What are the chocolate things in the kitchen?"
"They are chocolate oatmeal bars and they are for Saturday."
"I want one. Please, mommy? I'll be your best friend!"
"They are for the party on Saturday, no, you may not have one."
"PLEASE, MOMMY? I WANT ONE!"
"No, they are for the party. You may not have one."
He left the bedroom, and returned a few minutes later.
"Mommy, your bars are broken."
"Broken? What do you mean broken?"
"There's a crack in them."
"Did you touch them?"
"No."
"You sure?"
"Yes."
So I walk out to the kitchen and a whole piece of cookie dough was taken off the top of the bars and there are three fingerprints in them.
He got in big trouble.
I still served them at the party. I just cut around the part that was broken. They were a huge hit, as always. So much so, that I didn't have many left over and I had to make more yesterday.
Jackson saw them and says, "Mmmm. Chocolate oatmeal bars. Yummy! And there are no fingerprints in them."
Although, I think the fingerprints made them taste better. But don't tell him that!

Whew!
What a busy Memorial Day weekend!
Saturday was Nicholas' baptism. It was a beautiful ceremony attended by all of our friends and family. It was so great that everyone was able to make it to Dallas and celebrate with us.
Sunday morning, we said good-bye to Chris' family and then spent the rest of the day with my dad and Nancy. Jackson had a blast playing with my dad. We took them to the spaceship park where Nicholas proceeded to blow out - twice. And I was unprepared - no wipes, no extra clothes. Good thing we live pretty close to the park.
After the park, went to lunch, then to the mall. Jackson played in the play area. He's such a social butterfly, he makes new friends wherever he plays. In fact, last night we were at our neighborhood park and he was so sad that there wasn't anyone to play with him.
And then, on the way home from the mall, the little boys and i were rear-ended at a red light. Poor little guys started crying immediately, but luckily were not hurt. The poor car is a different matter. The other guy assumed responsibility, but we still get to mess with the car being fixed.
On Monday, the little boys and I watched a gazillion Bakugan cartoons. We read books. We made more "broken" bars. I walked and Jackson rode his bike to the pond to check out the turtles. We went to the playground to play.
It could not have been a better weekend, except for the accident. Thanks to all that were there to share our special day!
P.S. I forgot to mention that we went to the cutest wine bar in Plano and sang Karoke with my dad. Summer Lovin' from Grease. He and I did were the guys and Tara, Kelly, and Jaime were the girls. HI-LAR-I-OUS! Wish I had video....

The Ant Truck
We keep getting random ants in Jackson's bathroom and I don't know how they are getting in there. He's a little scared of bugs so he won't touch them and I usually have to go kill them. There aren't that many, I've probably killed about 15 in the last week. Our pest people treated our house last week, so it may just be the little ants are running for their lives and figured out how to get in that bathroom.
He is VERY worried about them and wonders why they keep getting in there.
So... Last night we had a different pest control company knock on our front door soliciting their services. The guy talked to Chris a little bit about what they do, how much it is, and all the critters that they exterminate, such as spiders, crickets, termites, and ANTS. They guy says that he's going to have trucks in the neighborhood this weekend so if we wanted to schedule service, they can take care of us right away.
Jackson heard all of this and in all seriousness tells me, "I need to tell him about the ants so the truck can come on Friday and take care of them."
He is so funny about bugs... hates anything that flies or crawls, but loves worms. How that happened, I'll never know.

April
We had a very busy April!
Did you know that if it rains on Easter, its going to rain for the next 7 weekends? I didn't either... but it's sure proving to be true! Since soccer started, we have played one game, missed one game because we were in Iowa, and have been rained out of 3 games. Hopefully we can have a game this weekend, but it's supposed to rain again. Hopefully the rain will start after 2.. then we can play.
Oh yeah... we went to Iowa. Jackson, Nicholas, my mom and I went to see my Grandma on her 80th birthday. It was a wonderful trip. Got to spend an evening with my dad and Nancy, and then went to Radcliffe (a tiny, farming town - one of those where if you blink you'll miss it) to spend 2 night with my Grandma. And we got 8 inches of snow while we were there. Jackson and I made a snowman. I have pictures, but alas, our computer at home decided to go ka-put... I'll try to get some posted in the next couple days.
And then the next weekend, we went to Louisiana for Easter. We met our newest cousin, Meredith, and had an Easter egg hunt. We took family pictures while we were there that turned out excellent! I'll show you soon.
Nicholas turned 6 months old today! He is such a sweet baby!! He is just a roly-poly smiley sweetheart!!
