The Jacksons are Back

Well actually just Rodney and Courtney came this time. They flew in for the game and invited Brett and Roy to join them. After church Sunday, we had lunch with our friends Cindy and Chris.

Nancy, Cindy, Rodney, Chris, and me.

Hmmm. I'm confused. Which one is the Big Fat You Know What?

The Kiddos


Courtney goes for a spin with Roy.

Off to the pool. . .

We all agreed that it's time for a visit to San Diego. Get ready Jacksons!

Hapy Birthday, Mom!

We had a fun day celebrating Mom's birthday Saturday.
After lunch at Fish City Grill, we went to see Mamma Mia!
and then did a little shopping.

How cool is this?

The First Day of Middle School

Just before leaving for the bus stop,
Brett and his friends reluctantly paused for a picture.

One more picture? No, Mom!
And they're off . . . .

Lauren and Myra: We Miss You!

Muffins from a box aren't nearly as good as Lauren's homemade muffins.
I attempted Lauren's recipe recently,
but the reviews from the picky little brother were not so great.
We have reverted back to the box.
And then there's Myra. The pictures say it all.
As does the lonely yellow ball still sitting by the stairs.

I hope she is just as comfortable in her new home.
Sigh . . . . .

The Jacksons are Here!

Rodney, Leah, Courtney, and Caleb made their annual pilgrimage to Texas.
We were thrilled that they decided to spend some time in Austin with us.

We spent the afternoon at the pool and celebrated Rodney's birthday.Happy Birthday Rodney!!!
