Happy Birthday Jacksy-boy

My Jackson turned the big 2 on Monday!!! I love that boy. Jackson is very special to me, I feel like he "saved" me. I was not ready to get pregnant with him when I did. Harrison was only 9 months old when I got pregnant and I was struggling to keep my sanity. But Jackson changed my way of thinking. I realized I could do things I didn't think I could. I must say Jackson can be a handful (like when he cried for almost 2 hours because he wanted juice) but he is such a happy, sweet boy. I love that kid, my Jacksy.

Creating WALL-E

First the body.

Then the feet.

Add a head.

Finally the arms and hands.

Another poop story.....

Harrison has been "potty trained" for over a year but is just starting to do everything himself. The other day he went to the bathroom, I went to check on him and he had locked the door. He asked me to leave and give him his privacy. I went to check on him again just as he was coming out of the bathroom. I noticed that his shorts were soaking wet. I asked why his shorts were wet. He was very proud to say that he washed them. I was a little nervous to ask if he washed them in the toilet. No, he washed them in the bathtub. He took me in the bathroom to show me where he washed his shorts and I was able to piece everything together. Harrison was in pull ups ready to take a nap when he needed to use the bathroom. He didn't make it to the toilet so he took off his clothes by himself, dumped the poop out of his pull up into the toilet, threw the pull up in the garbage then cleaned his shorts in the bathtub. He was so proud of himself for cleaning everything up. I guess he didn't notice the mess he made on the bathmat or the toilet!

Camping

We went camping! We had a great time, especially Harrison and Jackson. We went to Sedona on our ward campout. It rained the first night but that didn't stop the boys from having fun. They loved everything about it, even setting up and taking down the tent. They had fun catching frogs, throwing rocks in the creek and hiking. We learned that Harrison is quite the rock climber. The boys got totally muddy climbing up a hill then sliding down on their butts! It was a fun camping trip.

New Name

Here is your dose of humour...

We will now be known as Chucklejuice! What's your new name?
Damon- Sleezy Chucklejuice
Kendra- Sloppy Chucklejuice
Harrison- Dorfus Chucklejuice
Jackson- Goober Chucklejuice

Follow the instructions to find your new Name.

And don't go all adult - a senior manager is now known far & wide as Dorky Gizzardsniffer! The following is excerpted from a children's book, Captain Underpants And the Perilous Plot Professor Poopypants, by Dave Pilkey, in which the evil Professor forces everyone to assume new names... So:

- 1. Use the third letter of your first name to determine your New first name:
a = snickle
b = doombah
c = goober
d = cheesey
e = crusty
f = greasy
g = dumbo
h = farcus
i = dorky
j = doofus
k = funky
l = boobie
m = sleezy
n = sloppy
o = fluffy
p = stinky
q = slimy
r = dorfus
s = snooty
t = tootsie
u = dipsy
v = sneezy
w = liver
x = skippy
y = dink y
z = zippy

2. Use the second letter of your last name to determine the first half of your new last name:
a = dippin
b = feather
c = batty
d = burger
e = chicken
f = barffy
g = lizard
h = waffle
i = farkle
j = monkey
k = flippin
l = fricken
m = bubble
n = rhino
o = potty
p = hamster
q = buckle
r = gizzard
s = lickin
t = snickle
u = chuckle
v = pickle
w = hubble
x = dingle
y = gorilla
z = girdl e

3. Use the third letter of your last name to determine the second half of your new last name:
a = butt
b = boob
c = face
d = nose
e = hump
f = breath
g = pants
h = shorts
i = lips
j = honker
k = head
l = tush
m = chunks
n = dunkin
o = brains
p = biscuits
q = toes
r = doodle
s = fanny
t = sniffer
u = sprinkles
v = frack
w = squirt
x = humperdinck
y = hiney
z = juice

Thus, for example, George W. Bush's new name is: Fluffy Chucklefanny.

Football Game and Preschool

Last night Damon took Harrison to the Cardinals football game. Harrison loved it. He said his favorite part was the "bird". But the mascot left before Harrison could find him to give him a hug and that made him sad. Jackson was also very sad that Dada and Boy left without him. When I put Jackson to bed I helped him say prayers and he said on his own, "Dada home. Boy home". I think he was praying that they would come home safely.
Last night was also my preschool openhouse. Yes, I am starting a preschool! It starts on Tuesday and I am so excited. My kids and their families came to meet me and see the school. It went really well. My kids were so excited to be here and the parents seem happy with what I'm doing.
While I was setting up my preschool I gave Jackson some cereal and he stuck a piece up his nose! That was very interesting trying to teach him to blow his nose so he could blow it out! Gross!!
