Yay, Rupert!

My friend Emily sent me this link for a clip on the Today Show. It's about the Idaho Youth Ranch which is close to my parents farm. In fact it was even in our ward boundries. I had the oppurtunity to give a talk there when I was a teenager. Anyway, I love anything to do with my home town and it is so cool that the Today Show donated so much to them. If you have a minute take a chance to watch it! http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/24100472/

Hey I just wanted to show everyone this cute website. Brad and Tricia's brother and sister-in-law (Spencer and Jamie) started it and I think they are so darling.

Family 'Shoot

These are a couple of photos from the Jackson side. They turned out alright, but we all decided we wanted an outside picture next time. Plus, we are missing Erica's family. They were suppose to get dubbed in, but Quinn is getting married anyway in May, so we figured we'll just wait and do one later. At least it is more up to date than the old one. I wish I had it to show to everyone, but just to give you some insight I was 14 at the time, so it's been a while.



I totally look chubby, but what do ya do? I blame the outfit....what was I thinking?


The "real" side.

How the Jackson's spend Easter...

Yes we are a "redneck family." Erica recently graduated from Esthetician school and she learned ear candling, so we all took a turn getting our ears cleaned out. I must say I feel very refreshed today! It was also Erica's birthday, so we had an Easter/Birthday/Wax party with the whole family. Everyone got to be there for at least a little while so it was very fun.


My dad having a turn. Good thing he doesn't check my blog, or he would be very mad...

Erica blowing out her candles. I love Makadee's face as she looks at Erica. Don't worry we cleaned the table after our wax party before we ate cake. Notice how Kent never moves either. haha. I also want to add that we did have an egg hunt, but I didn't get pictures because my camera was dead. Speaking of camera it is time for a much better one. (hint to the hubby)

I love my sis in law!

Sister in laws are great! Last week I was having kind of a bad/emotional week and it just so happened that Brittany came in to get her hair done on Friday, so her being the good listener that she is listened to my problems. Well, the next day (Saturday) Brett came in to get his hair cut and in his hands were a huge bouquet of flowers! They were from Britt with a really cute note. Of course I started to get all teary eyed and Brett told me not to cry, so I sucked it up for a while. It was such a nice thing for her to do and it meant soooo much to me. So thank you Britt. I really love them!

You Rock!

Last weekend we had the Curtis Jackson family come visit. Can you guess what we ended up doing? The boys have been practicing and they sure impressed me. Last time I saw them they were lucky to get through 3% of Slow Ride and now they are almost through the list. (Sorry, I'm just talking a little Guitar Hero lingo.) Anyway, we love having family come stay even if it's just for our Wii games. Hahaha.

Anniversary

The day turned out successful, if any of you were worried...haha. It was my year to plan and I took Gregg to dinner at La Caille. We weren't able to get out of town because of work and church responsibilities, so I decided to go all out for dinner. It was very romantic and tasty!


These are the flowers Gregg sent me, very pretty and still blooming to this day!

This is what happens when you let someone else write your love note....It's suppose to say "It has been a great four years," NOT "It's been great for years." Amazing how a couple of words can really change the meaning. It almost sounds like "it's been great and all, but......" Haha, we had a good laugh about this and I'm keeping this card forever!

Cute Gregg next to our firework display. It suprised us both when we got this show. Gregg hates to be the center of attention at restaurants, that's why he'll never order anything that sizzles or smokes. Haha. We had everyone's attention this night though.

This is a bad close up of me, but I'm still figuring out my phone and couldn't get the flash to work.
