UP:
- Our beautiful baby girl turned 6 months old on Thursday. She had her first tooth barely break through the surface this week and she is so close to crawling. She's also gotten really good at sitting up by herself. She is still growing like crazy, but I'll have to wait 'til the next post to give your her numbers. We go to the doctor on Thursday.
- As I mentioned above, the weather has been great here. We've been so warm that we are setting records. On Friday the squadron had a 9 hole golf tourney and Mike took Jackson with him. He hasn't stopped talking about it since. He had a blast chasing golf balls, 'driving' carts and of course the sand traps! Then Saturday we headed to Boise and spent a good bit of time at the outdoor market. It really just feels good to get out. I feel like we are just confined to the walls of our home for most of the year here due to weather/wind.
- We sold the Saturn! It was sort of bitter sweet. That was my first 'new' car I've ever owned or purchased myself. Plus it was a great car for us, we just outgrew it with the kids. We were able to get a fair price for it from a dealership near Boise. Good to check that off the list.

Down:
- I'm really bummed we didn't get to join my family in celebrating my Uncle Amos & Aunt Loretta's 50th wedding anniversary party in Groom, TX. I think besides my sister's family, we were the only ones not there. It's so hard living away from family and not getting to participate in the big or little things going on with everyone else.
- Two kids teething at the same time is NO fun. Jackson is cutting his molars and Kennedy is getting her first tooth. The problem is that Jackson hasn't been sleeping well while Kennedy is sleeping a lot more. So what does JP do - he has to go wake up his sister EVERY time he gets up. Although she is really nice to him about it, it's cutting into Mommy's productivity and Jackson has been so moody with the lack of sleep.
Favorite Thing:
This week I have two favorites that go hand in hand. With warmer weather comes better yummy fruit. Jackson loves strawberries and I found this handy tool to slice them with. This strawberry slicer is super easy to use and makes even slices. I purchased this one at the kitchen outlet for $5, but there are many varieties out there. Once you've cut the strawberries, you need to keep them fresh if you aren't going to use them right away. It always surprises me that people haven't heard of this wonderful invention - Fruit Fresh. It comes in more than one brand (I think), I just happened to have Ball which was by the canning section in my store. It works great to keep all your produce fresh and prevents turning colors after slicing.
