Thanks Giving

Our Thanks Giving break this year started with me and Lil Brent driving to Lansing to pick up Big Brent from work at 3:00pm...Then it was Up State bound we went heading to Cadillac for a Family Thanks Giving.

We had a great 4 days...spent a lot of time playing cards...Wednesday night Brent , Ashley, Brittney and Myself went to see New Moon!! That was a good movie...G-ma and G-pa stayed home and watched UP with the little guy...Thanks Giving dinner was scrumptious as always...Friday we spent the afternoon at the Driftwood with the Lowell Family...Bowling...was a big hit...i didn't bowl didn't want to break a nail...lol

We went to the Carl Johnson's in Cadillac Saturday they have tons of animal mounts and educational things for kids and adults. We also went to Mcbain just outside Cadillac to see the 400 ft wind turbines...those things are pretty awesome.

We headed home Saturday evening so we could attend Church on Sunday.

Barber Shop

Well today we spent the morning at Scott and Jodi's house, Scott had to work and Jodi is on bed rest for the next 6 weeks of her pregnancy..so me and lil brent spent the morning there helping out with Jayden so Jodi could rest....We left around noon when Jayden laid down for a nap...Brent wanted to go to the play scape for awhile, so we went to McD's for an hour or so...The i noticed that brents hair was getting REALLY LONG, so i took him to this cute little Barber Shop..I took a before ,during and after pictures...The funniest thing just happened i m watching a taping of my Soap from friday and someone is having a baby, brent looked at me and gave me a strange look, i said she is having a baby...he said whats she doing pushing it out her butt!!!...I just love the things they say.

A try at a Poem??

So ive been told when your sad you should try and express your feelings...i didnt indent on it becoming a poem...but some of it rhymes...so here goes..

PAW PRINTS
____________

I MOPPED AWAY SOMETHING TODAY
I NEVER THOUGHT I 'D MISS.

THE THING THAT USED TO BURDEN ME
AND MAKE THINGS SUCH A MESS.

I'LL NEVER SEE HIS DIRTY PAW PRINTS
TRAMPLED ALL ACROSS MY FLOOR.

IT'S ONLY BEEN BUT A FEW DAY
SINCE WE SAID GOODBYE.

I HOPE NEXT TIME I SEE YOUR PRINTS
I'LL BE LOOKING IN THE SKY.

OH THOSE DIRTY PAW PRINTS
ONE THING I NEVER THOUGHT I'D MISS.

Rest Peacefully Buddy!

Well i started the day off walking Logan to the bus stop with my son one last time....then i drove over and picked up my friend Jodi..she was there with me today, and i really appreciate it cause i don't know if i could have done it alone..I then drove to the dog park...played fetch with Logan one last time...from there we went and got Logan a double cheese burger and chicken nuggets, because i think if he could talk he would have wanted that...Then i handed him over and said goodbye...goodbye for now Logan until we meet again.

If he wakes in your Arms

I can hardly see through my tears... today I sent my best friend of years and years somewhere he had to go, where pain and sickness he won't have to know.
He's been with me ever since he was a pup... today I've had to give him up. He was sick, we both knew it and I wouldn't put him through it.
How did one like me deserve a friend who wanted just to serve? What was there that made him love me, with nobody else above me?
When I looked into his eyes, never did he criticize, never did he hold a grudge, never did he try to judge. He only gave me kisses and Hugs.
Two last weeks I had to try to find a way to say goodbye. In that time I told him more than I ever had before just how much I loved my pup, how it hurt to give him up. How though gone, he'd always be inside my heart, a part of me.
Then today was no mistaking, I made the decision, my heart was breaking.
"Dear God, let me see him in heaven above!
But for now Lord, please hold him, watch over his rest... if he wakes in Your arms tell him I love him best."

Sad!

It has been a sad day today...we have come to the decision that we need to have out dog put to rest. We have had his since he was 8 weeks old...hes 10 now....i don't know what it is going to be like without him, its had to imagine.

To Logan,

You silly little pup...you have brought great joy to our family...you will be missed...but not forgotten..Till we meet again i hope you can snuggle up on a nice doggy bed in Heaven with a pig ear and a squeaky toy...I love you.

Love Always, Your Mom

Halloween

We had a Great Halloween!!! My son pretty much didnt want his costume on....he was maskless after the first house..and he is not to the age yet were he wants to get as much candy as he can. I am thankfull for that because i was cold and didnt want to be outside all night.
Gilbert was a Banana...Gracie was Dafnie...Brent was Optimus Prime...Kasey was a Witch...Tommy was Drew Brees!

I love costume shopping...NOT

Okay so about 2 hours later we got the costume!!! Yeah...Brent was going to be Aniken from star wars...then he thought he would be Harry Potter....The a few different Ninja guys... He finally decided on Optimus Prime...So we got it home and i wanted to look everything over and noticed that there was pieces missing..so i had to go back to the place that i just spent 2 hours at...but after seeing him in his costume tonight makes it all worth it...he looks so cute!!!

School Pic

Brent got his First Grade School pictures today so i thought i would post it up here...I think they came out great!

Just Wasnt the Same

I remember the days in my life when i was in grade school , every weekend i would beg my parents to take me and my friends up to The Skate Loft...because that was the place to be...I could roller skate for hours....backwards....forwards....i was good...well this weekend we took our son skating and it just wasn't the same!...I thought it was going to be like riding a bike...i was pretty excited to go...boy oh boy was i wrong...it was like stepping on skates for the first time...i think my son did a better job then i did...But it was worth it to see my husband on roller skates...

Ethan Sean

I am a very Proud Aunt to, the newest addition to our family was born this morning at 9:50am weighing in at 9lbs 10oz!! Ethan Sean Jackson.

He is just the cutest thing ever i didn't want to put him down!!

UP!

Well lil brent still wasn't feeling that well today so we decided to not to go to church this morning. We spent the morning relaxing and having a Sunday breakfast at home.

Later in the afternoon brent was feeling better so we decided to go see a movie. UP! was playing at the 2.00 show at Macomb Mall..6.00 for the tickets...16.50 for drinks and pop corn..i guess its still cheaper then the regular show, 6.00 for all 3 instead of 9.50 a person...LOL. That was a really cute movie also, glad we went.

Bramble

Well we were going to head out to the Ren. Fest. today but with the rain we decided to head up to Port Huron instead.

We started by taking a tour of a The Bramble, we learned that his ice breaking ship was used many years ago in the Coast Guard.

Lil Brent had a blast even got to sit in the Captains Seat.

After leaving there we headed up the road, i cant remember what the place was called...terrible right...lol...we went inside got some donuts and hot coco...then walked through the farmers market ...i got the cutest little gourds!

Befor leaving lil brent and his Grandpa left his name in stones.

Uno

Friday was every enjoyable..lil brents Grandparents came downstate from Cadillac to stay the weekend.

We decided to go to the Best Chinese restaurant around...Leongs Yum Yum....While we were there we bumped into Brent Aunt and Uncle that we haven't seen in years, they ended up sitting at our table and eating dinner with us, it was a very nice dinner.

When we got home lil brent decided he wanted to play UNO with everyone so we all enjoyed a game of UNO. Fun Times!

A creative Mind

1 Shoe 2 Shoe

1 eye 2 eye

I have always been in awe with the creative mind that my son has. Now many people might feel this way about their children, i guess it is a normal though. He is always making up games for us to play, putting a twist on regular games to make them have his touch....it just alot of fun seeing his mind work.

We got iPhones a few weeks ago and lil brent loves them, he likes playing games on there and taking picture..here are some of the pictures i found on my phone this morning...Too Funny!

The first 2 pictures are the ones i took, the one with him in a tie was on picture day i cant wait to see how they came out this year...the other picture is him posing in a new outfit his Grandparents bought him.

We are off to SVS Vision today to get Brent his check up , and some new glasses he broke his Sponge BoB glasses. Just in time to because tomorrow we are losing our Vision and Dental...UGG!
