"X" is for X-Ray...

...and Xerox. That's it...nothing else. We were lucky to find two things that started with the letter "X"...and it's not going to get much easier. Now we have to find things that start with "y" and "z".

This is What Jarrod and I Found...

last night when we were going to bed...

Last night I heard Mason come out of his room after we had already put them to bed. I yelled up at him and told him to get back in bed. I didn't hear anything else out of him, so I thought he had gone back to bed...I guess he decided MacKenzie's bed was more comfortable than his! It was funny to walk in and see them both asleep in her bed!

"W" is for water...

...and walkie-talkie, and watch, and window. Because of computer issues I don't have any pictures of MacKenzie's homework last week...oh well! This week's homework is "X"...wish mommy and daddy luck on finding pictures that start with "x"!!

Yay, Jarrod!

Jarrod has become quite lucky (or good) these last few weeks at work. They have had quite a few competitions and/or drawings and he's done very well! He won a 31" flat screen HDTV, a Best Buy gift card, a Visa gift card and an American Express gift card!! Woo Hoo! Good job honey!

Technology is GREAT....

...when it WORKS! I've been without a computer for almost a week now. Our laptop CRASHED! Yes, crashed! Luckily I had saved all my pictures onto CDs and to our external hard drive just last weekend. But I haven't been able to blog...crisis, I know! So, I'm taking my work laptop home tonight to catch up on the blogging. I don't know if I'll get pictures up, but something is better than nothing! I hope to have my computer back tomorrow! Luckily, Jarrod works with some great computer geeks (ha, JK!) who have been gracious enough to fix it!

Busy But Relaxing Weekend!

This is the first weekend in a LONG time that we haven't had anything we HAD to do. It was also a great weekend to play outside and just have fun...and that's exactly what we did. MacKenzie had a little friend from school come and play on Saturday. They played outside, inside, and watched movies while the moms enjoyed some nice adult conversation. The girls even played with Mason which was nice! On Sunday we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather. Both Mason and MacKenzie planted their own pot of flowers. We then went to Toys R Us and got new bike helmets so that we could take bike rides. That kicked my butt though...you see MacKenzie and Mason get to relax and chill while Mommmy and Daddy tote them behind them on their bikes. We also have an extreme case of March Madness at our house, so we bought the kids a basketball goal which they have enjoyed the majority of the afternoon. So as you can see we were busy, just having fun and enjoying SPRING!

"V" is for volcano...

...and violet and violin. So this week's letter was obviously "v", but that was a hard letter to find in a magazine! Luckily, Jarrod has all the artistic ability in the family, so he was able to draw MacKenzie's homework. She still wrote her letters though. Oh yeah, and Mason decided he needed to do "homework", too, so here's a funny picture of him.
