JAXSON'S 1ST DAY!

Today was Jaxson's first day of second grade...He has been going to Challenger for the past three years and this year tuition went up ten fold so we decided to put him in public school (not happy about it) for four months until we move up North and then he will be back in private school. It is much cheaper up there than Challenger! Anyways...they moved him ahead a grade due to the fact he was in private school.
He was super nervous and Max really wanted to stay with him...only because of the playground!
They go to school from 8:25AM to 3:25PM! So long!

Harry Potter!!!

Jaxson, my mom and I went and saw the new Harry Potter last night at 12:01AM. It was awesome. Before we went Jaxson got all his garb out and was going to dress up...then he decided he wanted his hair dark like Harry Potter's and Troy Bolton (High School Musical). So I had him call his dad to see if it was ok...He said he gave him the go ahead, guess I should of checked so we died his hair dark...He couldn't stop starring at himself in the mirror. Anyways we went to the movie with him all dressed up. There were so many people there and all of them dressed up too.

Jaxson's Last Day of Kindergarten 6/12/07





Jaxson officially graduated from Kindergarten and is heading on to 1st grade (FULL DAY :))

Maxipoo!



We are now at the stage with Max where eating in a restaurant in no longer an option...he has to do everything himself and the worst...drum roll please...he messes with my shoes every day! LOL! I finally got him hooked on Bart's instead!

Bart's Birthday Surprise





Bart is turning 30 this August 5th, so I decided to get him something to make him feel like he is 18 again...a high school girlfriend! KIDDING! About a month ago I decided to get him a truck because right now he drives what my brother calls a "B*tch Car!! It gets really good gas mileage for his commute and is paid off so...I started going to the auctions with my dad and got the loan in place...Then last week we found the sweetest deal and I surprised him on Tuesday with a new truck!!! He always comes in the back door to the garage so I decorated the door with posters saying "Happy 30th Birthday, 30 Days early". When he walked in it was hiding in the garage. I gave it to him early because he is shipping over to Iraq in September and I wanted him to be able to enjoy it before he left. Anyways he was super surprised and loved it! He cleans it every day so needless to say the school work is slacking! LOL!
