So it's been awhile....

So yes...we have been MIA....

Sickness has hit our family! I think this is the year for our family as far as sickness goes...I have also heard that many of you have been under the weather!

In the last month we have had strep, colds, fevers, chills, nausea...you name it we've had it...and knock on wood we hope it is gone.

Jackson had his first Pinewood Derby this past month and his car did very well...in fact he ended up taking home 2nd place...but you all know how competitive Chad is...he had to challenge the winner to yet another race and Jackson came out victorious...so they both Jackson and Chad proudly reported to me they "tied" for first place. I say "reported to me" was home sick...I was sad that I had to miss it...but the boys had a great time! Jackson also earned his first bobcat badge so Mom is back to the drawing board on getting yet another badge on his shirt...you would think that I should earn something for sewing on all of these badges...perhaps I should contact the scout master? Or is there someone at a higher level? (LOL)

(A little more about the car) Jackson was so cute as I helped him decorate his car...he told his Dad that Mom is just amazing at making things look good. He was very proud of his cute little car...Chad was all about the speed and Mom was all about the looks...so I guess you could say that Chad and I (oh and I guess the Jackson..LOL) work well together ;) Poor Jackson...he was born into such a competitive family...LOL

Here is his car (he named it the batmobile)





Here is our little cub scout as he is heading out (Dad grabbed a picture for Mom as...she was running a fever of 102!)



Here are a few fun pictures of us just hanging out during the past month....very random and all involving sports ;)







Well...We're sorry we have not blogged in a while...I know many of you have asked us what is going on...but tomorrow Ashlee has her Valentine's Day party at school and Jackson will have his on Thursday. We hope to have lots of pictures to share after the weekend!

Have a Happy Valentine's Day everyone...we hope that cupid brings each of you something lovely :)
