Here's my little tennis champ

getting ready to serve it up.



I am so proud of you babe, and I'm sure you are going to kill me for blooging about this but o-well. I told scottie if he won the entire tournament I would be posting it. So here we go... Along with other deploys Scottie entered himself into a little county tennis tournament to help take the sting away from missing out on the family Lake Powell trip. I thought to myself o-great this wont last long enough, maybe one game is all, but he is an amazing little athlete and it seems like every sport my husband tries he can master. Nice job Lover!!!

Lake Powell vs. Wii--- I think Powell is winning

So the whole Jackson family just left for Lake Powell yesterday and I am feeling so blue. I feel worse for Scottie. He is dealing with it, and came to grips with it a while ago but I can tell he's still sad. I tried to do something special for Fathers Day so he'd take his mind off things but the Wii I got him has not seemed to help as much as I wanted it too. It has been so much fun to play and Ashlyn is already a little champ at bowling and tennis, but nothing compares to Powell. I would never be able to forgive myself if anything happened and we chanced it though. I am progressing slowly but surely. I was dialated to a ONe and 50% effaced today at my doctors appt.

Happy Birthday Jen!!!!!!!!!!!!

To My Jennie Arlene.....
You are such a wonderful friend and I don't know what I'd do with out you. Sometimes I think your friendship is what gets me through the the day. You are such a wonderful/beautiful person inside and out and I know that everyone who ever meets you thinks so. Your kids and husband are so lucky to have you in there lives as well as I am. You seem to make me laugh on a daily basis, and your sence of humor is the greatest!!!!! Thanks for all the fun and amazing times we have had and taken down memory road. I don't think I've ever had a dull moment with you. I think everyone would agree that you are such a giving and loving person and you are such a wonderful example to me. I can't wait to grow old with ya... Have the best Birthday! I LOVE you~Lars


The Zoo Crew!!!
Fun times at the zoo with Gammie and Jennie.


Ashlyn loves her little Maxers!





The new carousel ride was such a hit. Every kid wanted to ride it again and agian.



Welcoming home Scottie's cousin from the Mish....




Welcome home Eric!! Here we are at the Airport to see Elder Swenson. Ashlyn was so excited she couldn't talk to him. Yes he is one of her favorites. We've sent many colored pictures of princesses.

I had to put these two pictures up because this is what last weekend consisted of. Pedicures and lemonade stands. Ashlyn's favorite thing to do is get her toe-nails done. It's pretty funny because I usually end up painting Joshua's too, but Scottie wouldn't take a picture of that. As of right now Joshua has yellow toes. Anyways we also had a Lemonade Sale on Saturday and these are Ashlyn's two new best friends (Tatum and Paisley). They did pretty good considering there slogan was,"Ten cents for lemonade or free if you don't have any money!" They ended up making $6.oo which was a ton of money to them because most of it was in change.
