Attempting to save some money vent

So Clint and I are seriously on a DAVE RAMSEY money diet! So in my attempt to "help out", don't laugh, I have colored my hair dark, and its pretty dark, after I don't know how many YEARS of being blonde I am helping our family save money by not getting my hair colored, and I actually love it!!

Now the downside of this is that I thought I would help save a bit more money and just cut the boys hair instead of taking them to Snip Its in the mall. Lets just say that didn't goes as well. Needless to say the next few post pictures of Costner and Brooks they will probably be wearing HATS. At least their hair grows fast!

Mommys Little Monkey "Hudson"

I was trying to get some pictures of Hudson, and was trying to make him sit up, but he still doesn't have that much control with holding his head. (still like holding a new born) But he will get it soon. He was laughing and smiling a lot but as soon as I would take a picture he would stop, I will try to get some more later. He five months today, and is so cute!

Our Weekend

This weekend we didn't do a lot, just hung around the house, but it was nice. Friday night Brooks and Costner spent the night with Grandma and Grandpa, and they said they had a great time, and my parents said they were very good. I was worried that they would go to sleep so late and wake up at the crack of dawn, but they were asleep by 8:30 and up at 7, so that wasn't bad at all! Friday night for Clint and I was so quiet, we BBQ and it was amazing how quiet it was. Saturday morning was wonderful we slept in till 9, (Hudson did too) I dont remember the last time I slept in that long, it was great!

Below are a few pictures of Clint and Hudson on his motorcycle

Saturday, Clint thought he would get the kids a blow up pool with a basketball net on it, needless to say in the picture it looked much larger than it was in the backyard. But the kids had fun splashing around, Clint even did. We dont have any plans this week, just getting some organization stuff done around the house.

The Past Few Day

The past few days around here haven't been that exciting, unless one considers laundry exciting! Costner has been enjoying camp, today he came home with marker and dirt all over him, but he had a good time and that is all that counts. Brooks has been trying to get over a bad cold, and has lately been really pushing his terrible two buttons, I found him tonight dancing on the coffee table. Hudson has been doing good, he is now rolling on his side and playing with toys, I have been trying to work with him on Tummy time, but he Hates it. His physical therapy starts next Monday, so I know that soon he will be catching up. Tomorrow is Clint's birthday the big "31" (man we are getting OLD, or Clint is at least) and it's Friday night spend the night at Grandma and Grandpa's, the boys are so excited, and we are too, sleeping in past 6:30 sounds GREAT!

Our weekend... UGH...

Well our fourth of July wasn't very exciting this year. Well yes it was Clint flew in on Friday from Scotland, so that was exciting! But other than that we stayed at home all weekend. Costner still was feeling sick with his ear and a cold, and he was nice enough to share his cold with Brooks, and off-course Brooks got it much worse than Costner. We were stuck inside with the three boys all weekend that by Sunday evenging we needed a break! So Costner and Brooks went to my parents to spend some time with them for a few hours, Clint and I didn't know what to do with ourselves it was so quiet, with just Hudson. My parents seeing that we are in need of a break offered that the boys, (Costner and Brooks) spend every Friday night at their house, the boys are very excited! Since there is now only going to be two left at my parents house (Nathan, and Ginger) , the boys are finally going to get their own room there, off course Clint and I are very excited about this, that means more spending the night at Grandma and Grandpa's!

We started this week off by lots of doctor visits. Costner was behind on his four year old check up so he had that on Monday, he did pretty good, he had to get some shots so he has been complaining that his legs hurt, but other than that he is good. And just an update on camp he LOVES it, I had to pick him up early yesterday and he didn't want to leave, he was crying so today Clint dropped him off early, he was pretty excited that Dad was taking him instead of Mom.

Today Hudson had a doctor's appointment, his four month, (even though he is almost 5 months) he is doing good, they are a little concerned on his weight and how small he is, he dropped down a few ounces to 11.8, poor guy still the 0-3 month clothes are falling off of him. The Doctor wanted us to up his feedings to help him gain some weight! Other than that he is doing very good!

I better get some stuff done before I need to pick up Costner and before Brooks wakes up from his nap, though a nap sounds good, but oh well!!

What a Day

Today was a crazy day. Needless to say that right now I having a glass of wine if that is any indication on how today has been. Costner woke up still not feeling well, I know it sounds so bad, but he is such a good boy when he is sick. Anyways he has an ear infection, I am assuming from all the swimming that he has been doing, so he had to stay home from camp today, so we had a lot of TV watching and Wii playing today. Brooks has been waking up very early lately, and he was fine during the first half of the day, but the second half, OH MY he was a handful, he didn't really take a nap and he was so fussy, let me rephrase that he did a lot of screaming this afternoon. Hudson is always so easy, but this afternoon he just wanted to be held all day, and its kind of hard holding him all day and dealing with the other boys and did I mention the house...Yeah it wasn't a pretty sight. Thankfully my mom came over this afternoon and held Hudson for a while so that I could get some cleaning done, and then later on Micah came over to play with the boys so that I could cook dinner, they are such lifesavers!! So there are no picture posting today, I did take some but then I realized that I am an idiot and I didn't have the camera card in. I am hoping that tomorrow that Costner will be feeling better and that will have a much smoother day around the Jasper House.

Clint is in Scottland

Clint is in Scotland for the week for some meetings, it always is a little crazier here when he is gone, and today was no exception. Hudson had therapy this morning and Brooks decided it would be fun to scream through the entire time. After therapy I had to take Hudson to the Doctor because he started not to feel to good. And then on top of that I picked Costner up from camp and I realized he was running a fever... UGH What a day!! And did I mention the house... OH MY GOSH, not a pretty sight! We miss Clint so much... we are hoping that tomorrow will be a much better day!
