Jack's Flintstone Car

Jessalyn is 6!

My sweet baby girl is 6! Can you believe it!?!
Wow.
She is still our cowgirl. She sure loves her horses. So for her birthday this year we took 5 of her friends and we on a trail ride up in the state forest. It was alot of fun. Jessalyn's horse Storm had a colt you will see in the pictures. It was named Squall.
At the end of the ride (about 45 minutes) Jessalyn's horse decided to follow her colt off onto the road instead of following the other horses back to the corral. That was a lil adventure for her. But she had a great time and was thrilled to be able to share it with her friends.

Birdhouses!

This morning started out with a "quick run" to Walmart and then Home Depot to get some new paint for Grandma's bedroom. (There's a story for ya! 2 actually... ask us later)
ANyhow, So while at Home Depot a lady asked Jessalyn if she had made her birdhouse. Jessalyn said no. The lady said, "oh, well you better hurry before they run out. I think they still have some. You get to use tools!" (Everybody now.... ooooohhh!) So we hurried over and Jessalyn made a birdhouse. The cool people at Home Depot even let us bring one home for Jeffrey to make.
When we got home, Jeffrey made his and they both painted them up beautifully. It was a fun little project to get our Saturday going. This afternoon we headed over to the pool at the college and played around. Jackson was not happy at all when we 1st got there. He wanted to leave. He didn't want to be in the water at all, even with a lifejacket or me holding him. So we let him just toss us the ball for most of the day. Then, about 20 minutes before we were going to leave, he decided he wanted to get in. He hopped into the pool and hung onto the wall by himself. I let him be for the most part and in a few minutes he wanted to be held in the water and was ready to imitate Jeffrey and Jessalyn swimming in the water. When we got home he told papaw he "went swim like a fish."


FYI
Home Depot has a free kids workshop the first Saturday of every month (9a-12p). Next month the project is a wheelbarrel planter. My kids are hooked and want to go every month.
