What do I see

I was cleaning up the kitchen so I could sweep and mop the floors. When I walked into the livingroom to see what Mr J was doing I found him climbing up on the chair that I had just put in there. I started taking pictures while He slowly crept his way onto the chair and then onto the actual tv stand. Lord help me I am in trouble!!

Might Just Be...

A Little Tired

I'll do it myself

I guess Aaron and I were dropping the ball on getting Jackson his first car. So my independent child went into the computer room and pulled out a box, then grabbed the wii wheel and made his own! He was so proud of himself and even supplied the "vroom" engine noises. I seriously can't get enough of this kid.

Again Mom...Again!

This kid can't get enough of his wagon. Any time he sees it he starts yelling to get in it and if he's in it he SCREAMS when you take him out. Today we went to the park and a lady was walking her two kids home in a wagon completely identical to his. Jackson immediately started running/prancing/stumbling his way towards them trying to get in. I died laughing and then felt horrible when he started crying because the wagon rolled out of sight. To make it up to him, as soon as we got home we dropped our bags inside the door and took the wagon for a stroll around the block. He was definitely a happy boy after!

Give the Boy a Car

and he'll be entertained for hours

Its Time

I can't explain how excited Aaron is that Jackson is getting older. Knowing that he is old enough to enjoy some of the things that he himself did as a child is Amazing! Jackson loves to build and body slam things (I know...I know...all boy). Aaron decided it was time to build....A Fort!!! These two crack me up!

Jackson...and Harly

I don't know what it is about Harly lately, but Jackson has been all over him! He wants to snuggle him, ride him, and now today we have added feed him! Usually this ends in Harly's favor, but today Jackson decided to feed him his Cookie Monster Cookies! Harly was so confused and Jackson was just not giving up!

Finally Jackson gave up on trying to force feed him the cookie and went another way. I mean, why wouldn't he eat a cookie out of his own dog food bowl=)

Looking for the Cookies

Look at my Big Boy!

We have gotten rid of the table part of his high chair and he is now sitting at the table eating with a fork. *sniffle* I can't believe how fast he's growing up!

Megablocks!!

Tonight was all about megablocks in the Malone House!!You would think that it was Jackson who was a giggly little boy, but I think that Aaron got a bigger kick out of building things then Jackson did=) Ah, how I love my boys!!!

I...I...I...I....I Workout!

I've been doing really good lately with getting my workout on. I've been doing Zumba at MagicWheels Skating Rink on Mondays, Wednesdays, and sometimes Saturdays. Then Curves on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays! I am slowly starting to see the toning happen, which is awesome!!! Hopefully I can keep it up. I absolutely LOVE gym time. I think its just because its some of the only Me Time that I get during the week. tonight we did an 80s themed Zumba to say goodbye to our friend Marie, who is going back to Puerto Rico to finish up her schooling. We had a great time!!

Helping...Again

If you ever need help, just call! I will volunteer his services FOR FREE!

Not Goodbye...Never Goodbye!

Today I had to say "See You Later" to one of my best friends Ever! Mari and Brandon are officially starting their journey to Germany=( I can't believe how fast a Forever Friendship can grow. Mari, whom I refer to often as my SFAM (Sister from Another Mister), has been scheduled to PCS for a couple months now and I have decided to stay in denial until the very last minute. Slowly as as January crept closer and closer it became harder and harder to not admit to the fact that she was leaving. I don't know how many breakdowns I've had just thinking of the random moments that require, yes require, a Mari call or sms. 

 Nobody understands my accident proneness like Mari does. I can call her and just say I have to go to Bach, I'm alive and breathing but need you here in 5! No matter the time of night she is here for me...and I am there for her! As a matter of fact, two days ago I received a phone call at 4am and it was Miss Mari herself. She over did it and hurt her wrist and was in dying pain. (Krys to the rescue!) I was at the place she was staying at within 10. I even teared up on my way thinking that this was our last ER visit together *sniffle* Sadly, we are such pros at ER visits that we know what we will be prescribed depending on injury or illness. Mari was taken care as "planned" and we were headed home in no time...or more 3+ hours which  isn't too bad for Bach. 

Like any friendship we've had our disagreements and hanging out with other friends moments, but we always come back to each other. We are the only ones that will give sms threats that if we don't hear from the other within the hour a drive-by and walk-in WILL Happen! We know how long to let each other go having Bad Days and not be social before forcing back into the world. Inside jokes between us are never ending! Just wave some baby socks, or slap a post it note onto one of our front doors and the laughs will be never ending!! *totally laughed while typing baby socks*

 Mari you are an amazingly strong, caring, beautiful, intelligent woman. I am so proud to call you my friend! I thank God endlessly for allowing our paths to cross. I know I was cursing the world when I heard we were moving to Kentucky, but from the first IM on MySpace that led to the late night meeting on our back patios shouting back at forth, I knew I had a keeper in you!! I love you with all of my heart and wish nothing but the best for you and B...and my Minion. We may have said See You Later today, but know that its NEVER going to be a Goodbye!! Sadly we need two signatures on our friendship contract and I am just not doing it...EVER!!! I love you my SFAM!!!

Playground Time

He was all about hanging on until I pulled out the camera

I can't get enough of these two

Didn't understand why he couldn't climb up on the chain

They have a car here!!!!

We couldn't get him away from it!

The Park...Again!

Up Early

and wanted his picture taken!

Helping the Movers

Aunt Mari had a lot to do the day the movers came, so Jackson and I went over to supervise. Jackson was on top of each and every packer! He did constant rounds checking up on them. They almost forgot to pack the two bottles of 99 Bananas that were hiding in the couches center console. Thanks to J they were successful packed=)

It's a New Year!

...and my first resolution is to get my blog caught up from last year!! Its crazy how time slips away from me. I giving myself until the end of this month to do so. My reward...ummmm.....well....the feeling of accomplishment?! lol! 

I can't believe that 2011 is over and we are now starting 2012! Where did the last year go? Tomorrow my little boy will be 15 months, can you say WTH???? Thankfully I was able to ring in the new year with Aaron and Jess (plus two sleepy boys). Anyway, here is to a new year and the many new adventures in store for us!

Ready for a Great 2012

The Robinson tradition is to eat Red Beans and Rice on New Years Day. Not quite sure why, but who doesn't need a little good luck for an Amazing year! This is Jackson's first year partaking in the tradition. Jury wasn't out long before returning with the verdict of LOVING IT!!!
