Busch Gardens

Today we went to Busch Gardens today with some friends. The weather was perfect and we had a blast. I rode the Griffin - 20 story 90 degree drop at 71 mph. It was intense. Jackson rode some of his favorite rides too.

Home again part deux

Today Jackson & I made it back to VA after a week in NC. We had a great time. The weather was beautiful and Jackson got spoiled by all the family. We miss everyone already. I played Bingo with my grandmother. We didn't win but we had fun. Jackson got his fill of the park & the beach. On the way home from the grocery store today I came across this awesome find - a new and improved kitchen. It was out for the trash but with a good scrub it is as good as new. I know - I have reached an all time low - taking other's trash. Or a new high of freeganizism, depends on how you look at it I guess.

Home again

We made it back yesterday afternoon from our trip to WV. We had a GREAT time. We were sad to leave but Jason had to set sail today for 2 weeks. Unfortunately we did not take a single photo during our stay except for on the way home. Anyone who has been around Jackson for 5 seconds knows he is very fond of cows. We stopped at this farm on the way home in rural VA. Jackson MOOOed at the cows and chit chatted with them. He pointed, waved and got very upset when we got back in the car. I think this may have been the highlight of the trip for him.

Happy Mother's Day!!

What a spectacular day! This morning I got to sleep in and then had a wonderful breakfast prepared by my Jackson & daddy. Then I did a little shopping and had a pedicure. The boys planted a hydrangea in the front yard for me and now they are cooking a great Mexican dinner. It is great to be a mom today!

MNO

Mom's Night Out - Some of the moms from my group went out last night for Mexican and Karaoke. We had a blast. I did NOT sing but I did a little dancing. I sure feel old today. Jackson & daddy had a little "Man Time" while I was out.

It's official

Chief Fealy!!!!!!! Jason successfuly completed CCTI Friday night and we are both relieved! I got to pin him. Jackson & I are very proud. There will be more pictures from the event later.

SUMMER!!

It is absolutely beautiful here today. We went over to a friends house this morning to play and have lunch. The kids had a great time and Jackson is napping HARD now. Today is the final day and celebration dinner for Jason's CCTI thing he has been going through. I have to say I am glad it is almost over. It sounds like he is going through fraternity-like hazing all day today until the dinner tonight. He finished his hat box. I told him it looks more like a hat coffin and I am going to write a eulogy.
