I picked Jon-Mical up to put him in his carseat and my engagement ring scraped his arm. Here is how the rest of our conversation went:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jon-Mical - "Ow! What was that?" </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Me - "That was my engagement ring."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Jon-Mical - "What is an engagement ring?"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Me - "This is the ring that Daddy gave Mommy when he asked me to marry him."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Jon-Mical - "What?"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Me - "Daddy said, "I love you sooo much and I want to spend the rest of my life with you and I want you to come and live with me in my house forever." (Those weren't his exact words, but I thought they'd do the trick. It was definitely NOT because I forgot what he said!)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Jon-Mical immediately begins to cry. I asked him what was wrong and HE SAID (!!!!)....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">"But <em>I</em> want to marry you! <em>I</em> want to live with you forever!"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Yep, he said that! And, of course, I said ok... Yep, he's a Momma's Boy!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Also, here are some pictures of Jon-Mical's FIRST T-Ball Game!!! It - Is - AWFUL! But he loves it and he is too cute out there! AND he is batting 1000 after his first game! Look out, Babe!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well... it's official: I suck at blogging. My last post was on April 17. Wow. Many things, of course, have happened since then. We are out of school for summer! Whoop! Josh is taking a summer class and so he is still busy most of the time, but the kids and I have nothing going on these days! We just play outside most of the day! It is GREAT! Let's see... Since April...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1. I received my certification that I have been working on for months. I am now a Certified Personal Trainer through the International Sports Science Association. I am now working on my coursework to become a Certified Nutritionist. This is exciting for me. I honestly don't know what I want to do with this. All I know is that exercise and fitness seems to be one of the few things that I am TRULY passionate about. I would love to share this passion with others! But I still don't know what this means for me personally... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">2. I broke Jakson's clavicle. Yep. We were getting ready for church one Sunday morning and Jakson and Jon-Mical were playing on the bed. I was standing close to the night stand to make sure that neither of them fell off and hit their head on it. Jakson instead decided to take a nose dive off the side of the bed RIGHT BESIDE me... he hit his head and fractured his clavicle. He was PITIFUL!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">3. Mike, my father-in-law, and I ran in a Muddy Buddy race yesterday. It was 4.5 miles through the woods with 10 obstacles. The last obstacle was a mud pit that we had to crawl through. It was a BLAST! Jon-Mical also raced in the Mini Muddy Buddy! He LOVED it until... until he had to get muddy.... he then freaked out. Wow! Here are some pics:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, life is pretty good these days! The kids are growing up so quickly! It makes me sad to know that my babies are not babies anymore. But Jon-Mical PROMISES me that he will ALWAYS be my baby and that he wants to live with me forever... umm... ok! Until next time... :)</span></div>

I just noticed that my last post was in January! Wow! Many things have happened since then! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Let's see...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I think that the last thing I blogged about was Jon-Mical's birthday party. The next big event was Jakson's FIRST birthday party! (Wow, the second child really does get the shaft!)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The birthday party was good! We had a Bubble Guppies themed party! I made the cake and I must admit that it was pretty cute! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then in March Jon-Mical and I went to visit Pops at his new apartment in Tupelo, MS. We helped him decorate and it looks great! Jon-Mical and Pops are cute together! Pops always lies with a pillow in his lap... so, of course, Jon-Mical has to have one too...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our spring has not been all roses and lollipops. We had a tough few days after our neighbors moved back home to Alabama. We met them a few months after moving in to our house in 2007. We had them over to our house to eat and instantly became friends. From that night on, we hung out with the Nichols' family a couple of times a week until they moved out last month. It was such an easy friendship that we will really miss. Jon-Mical and their son, Cameron, were also really close. Here is a picture from their last night together doing what they loved the most... playing video games :)</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jon-Mical is on the White Sox t-ball team this year. Josh and I have started to worry that we put him in baseball too early. Baseball takes a lot of patience. Jon-Mical STANDS out in the field and then SITS in the dugout and WAITS to hit and then hits... then STANDS in the field again... too much standing. We thought that soccer would be better for a 4 year old... but, he sure does look cute in his little uniform!</span><br />

I ALWAYS have the best intentions! I started scrapbooking... two days later I threw all of the scrapbook stuff in the closet. Too time-consuming. I started couponing. I bought the notebook and the baseball card sleeves. We started two newspaper subscriptions. This lasted about a month. We cancelled the newspaper subscriptions and the notebook is in my kitchen junk drawer. I started blogging. Then life got in the way and I have not blogged since October... Boo! MANY things have happened since my last post. I will attempt to remember the highlights...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanksgiving and Christmas came and went like a blur. We had a great time! We went to Ben and Carra's for Thanksgiving. The kids are really starting to play together. They are so cute and will, hopefully, be good friends as they grow. Christmas was great too! We actually had a new rule this year. The adults gave ZERO gifts to each other. We all gave gifts to the kids... Jon-Mical, Jakson, and Luke. It made this year so stress-free! Christmas has become a gift card exchange for most of us, and none of us need anything! It was so great to be able to just get together and hang out and enjoy being together. Jon-Mical and Jakson, of course, were showered with TOO MANY presents. This is the first year that Jon-Mical has shown a serious interest in Santa. So, not only did mom and Dad go overboard with gifts, but Santa did as well! That darn Santa! Here are a few pics...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Christmas morning was a lot of fun and very entertaining! We woke up to a wonderful Christmas morning filled with squeals and excitement. Santa ate the chocolate chip cookies and double chocolate milk that Jon-Mical made. He read the note that Jon-Mical left and wrote him a little reply. Jon-Mical was very excited about the STACK of toys that Santa left... Jakson was just excited because Jon-Mical was excited! We had Christmas music playing and candles lit. I just sat down in the floor with my first cup of coffee when Josh, who was busy putting a toy together with a screwdriver, yelled. Thirty minutes later I took this picture...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Josh stabbed a screwdriver into his left hand. He needed 4 stitches. It was pretty nasty, but I had to laugh at him a little bit too! The rest of Christmas day was pretty normal and fun. We ate a lot of food and played a lot of games and put together a lot of toys! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Immediately after Christmas, I began planning Jon-Mical's birthday party! he turned 4 this year and had his first BIG birthday party! He wanted to invite all of his school friends! We had a great time! It was a race car birthday party. We played "Pin the Race Car on the Track" and ate pizza and cake... and maybe candy from the "Candy Bar." :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We are still going strong with Family Game Night... even though it has now turned into almost every night of the week. Jon-Mical is on such a board game kick right now! He now has CandyLand, Chutes and Ladders, Perfection, Sorry, and Trouble! And I'm pretty sure Santa is bringing him 2 more, Mommy and Daddy are giving him one, and SuSu has one for him. Good Grief.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">In all of this fun we did have a pretty nasty few days. Here is the story... (If you are squeemish, stop reading...)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jon-Mical is a GREAT sleeper! Well, 2 weeks ago on a Thursday night he woke up crying. Josh went upstairs to find that Jon-Mical had thrown up ALL OVER his bed... I mean ALL OVER! Now, JM is known in our family to have a VERY sensitive gag reflex. He coughs too hard and throws up. A noodle slides down some crazy way and he throws up. He sniffs too hard and throws up. He trips over a rug and throws up... well, maybe not that easily. Needless to say, throw up is not an uncommon thing around our house... I never heard JM cough. I knew he was asleep, so I knew that this was not your run-of-the-mill vomit!</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;">From around midnight on Thursday night until around 9:00am on Friday JM threw up every thirty minutes on the dot. He slacked off around 9 or 10 am and just became lethargic. He was only drinking. Oh, also we had planned a trip to Chattanooga for the weekend. We planned to leave Friday afternoon and return Sunday afternoon. OK, so I went to work on Friday and Josh stayed home with the boys. By the time I left work and called home on Friday afternoon, Josh told me that JM had not thrown up all day and that all seemed to be well. We decided that it was a 24 hour thing and that we were going to try to go to Chattanooga anyway... ten minutes after I walked in the door, JM threw up again, and again, and again. Around 9:00 that night he was again fine and BEGGING to go to Chattanooga. We told him that if he could make it through the night without throwing up and then keep breakfast down Saturday morning we would go. He did and we did. The drive up was BEAUTIFUL! The place was BEAUTIFUL! JM immediately got in a canoe and floated off into the sunset with PoppyC. We all had a wonderful time... for the first two hours that we were there! TTHHEENNN.... Jakson threw up. In the time that it took for us to decide that we needed to get Jakson home and that JM was going to stay there with MiMi and PoppyC, Jakson threw up around 10 more times! He was P-I-T-I-F-U-L! He would just lay his head down in a big bowl and cry... pitiful! We made it out the door. Our plan was awful but necessary... I drove and Josh HELD Jakson in his lap in the front seat and let him throw up in a huge bowl. We were riding along, talking, feeling sorry for our pitiful 9 month old... just chatting away when... I threw up! We were about 30 minutes outside of Chattanooga and about 30 minutes from Murfreesboro. THOSE WERE THE WORST 30 MINUTES OF MY LIFE. Jakson was crying and throwing up and crying and throwing up... I had to pull over numerous times and throw up on the interstate and then drive like the dickins during those brief euphoric minutes post-vomit before the nausea set back in... It was miserable. We did make it home. I got straight out of the car, threw up in the driveway, and climbed into bed. I reemerged around 7:00 the next morning after a night of hurling to find Josh and Jakson asleep on the couch. After another vomit in the kitchen sink and a quick sip of water, I turned around to find Josh standing there handing me Jakson... I was going to have to watch him the rest of the day because JOSH RAN TO THROW UP. Sooo.... we all got it. We are still alive. Here is a pic of JM... :)</span></div></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jon-Mical has a lot going on at his new school these days! He now attends First United Methodist Preschool. Jon-Mical loves it there and so do we! We are so glad that we made the switch. This is an accredited preschool that follows a curriculum. I feel like he is being stimulated and challenged instead of simply being baby-sat. The school "tests" the students twice during the year. We then have a parent-teacher conference following the "testing period." I am calling it a test even though it seems that they simply observe the students in the day to day things and then see how they are doing in relation to other children at the same age. I was very impressed with all of the things that they are looking for and monitoring in Jon-Mical's development. They "test" him in his social, physical, behavioral, and cognitive development. We were very happy with the discussion that took place in our conference. It is very obvious that his teacher cares for each child and really strives to teach them and challenge them in a fun way! Socially, Jon-Mical is right on track. He gets along well with his peers and "plays well with others." Josh and I were worried about the physical part of the test. Jon-Mical seems to be very unsure of himself physically and very awkward. Mrs. Rhonda said that he is right on track there as well with his fine and gross motor skills. Apparently all kids are awkward at this age. :) Jon-Mical does need to work on the way that he holds his pencil, but the teachers are aware of this and we are all working on it. Behaviorally, Jon-Mical is fine. He is very sensitive, so simply looking at him usually stops any unwanted behavior and usually also leads to tears... whew! Cognitively, Jon-Mical seems to be a little ahead. He is very smart and learns quickly and seems to really want to learn! he loves to count. His strengths are math and verbal skills. I say all of that to lead to this... there was one part of the conference that concerned me. Josh says that I am over-reacting (ME???), but I am still slightly worried. His teacher said that Jon-Mical struggles with self-confidence and is very unsure of his abilities. Josh did immediately add in that "I can't" is a very big part of his every-day vocabulary and Mrs. Rhonda agreed. I hate this!!!! I feel like he, being the first grandchild on both sides, has been unceasingly praised from birth! I honestly used to worry that he was going to be a little cocky punk because of all of the praise that he is given on a daily (really hourly) basis. We all compliment him so much. It is just so hard for me to believe that he doesn't see this in himself. I guess, now that we know, we will work on it and try to improve his confidence. I do know that we need to work on fostering his independence. He needs to be able to do some things for himself that I have been doing (getting him dressed, brushing his teeth, etc.) and I am going to work on that...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Whew! Jon-Mical's school also recently had a fall festival and bike rodeo. The kids brought their bikes and rode around in a circle for sponsors. I have attached some pics of this event! I have also attached some pics of Ben's family! His son, Luke, just turned 1 and they are the cutest little family! We are going to Dyersburg this weekend to celebrate Luke's birthday and get in a little family time! Yay!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Jakson is growing up so quickly. He is cutting both of his top front teeth at the same time. I feel so sorry for him, but he doesn't seem to mind! He is still just as happy as ever!</span><br />

Josh is teaching away and loving every minute of it. (Ha!) I am working on many things at work... Prom, Senior Thesis, College Corner, College Fair, Career Fair, etc. I stay very busy and that is good. The days FLY by! Jon-Mical is still in school and loves it! We actually have his first Parent-Teacher Conference this afternoon! I am excited and nervous about what the teacher is going to say. I am pretty sure that he is doing fine. We have never had any bad reports and she compliments JM a lot, but you never REALLY know how your child acts when you are not around! You know? I guess we'll see today! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jakson is, of course, changing and growing like crazy! He is now scooting across the floor. Every now and then he gets up on his hands and knees... but then promptly plops right back down and starts scooting. It's pretty cute! It is funny, though, how different we act with our 2nd child. I can remember working with Jon-Mical every day when he was Jakson's age. We wanted him to scoot so badly... then crawl so badly... then walk so badly... then talk so badly... We were always ready and excited about that next phase. It is not like we are not excited about Jakson's phases. We love all of the changes... but I just think, "they'll happen when they happen." Josh and I also recently realized that we have about 1/100 of the amount of pictures and videos of Jakson that we do of Jon-Mical at his age... I am already dreading the day when Jakson asks where all the videos of him are and I have to tell him that I am so sorry that I dropped our video camera in a huge puddle and lost all of them! ;) Maybe I'll say that he was such a cute baby that someone stole our video camera so that they could watch videos of him all the time... or maybe Jon-Mical was a jealous big brother and deleted all of the Jakson videos off of the computer... I'll have to think more on that future lie. Maybe Jakson will be at an age where I can tell him what actually happened, that his parents got really busy with life and raising two children and the picture-taking and videoing got moved to the back burner, and then I'll hand him twenty bucks and he'll be happy... hmmm....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, Jon-Mical's T-Ball season is over. That was SO MUCH FUN! Once I chilled out, stopped keeping up with Jon-Mical's stats, and started laughing along with the other parents the games were a blast! Jon-Mical ended the season asking if he can play next year, so I guess the season was a success! BUT all the people that told me that 3 is too young to play t-ball were RIGHT! Wow! It was a hot mess!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Halloween is just around the corner. Jon-Mical has been talking about being a pirate for weeks and then last night he told me that he has changed his mind and that he wants to be Superman! To my knowledge, he has never even seen a show, cartoon, movie, or book about Superman, so I have no idea where this one came from. I hope that he goes back to his original plan, but we will see!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Here are some cute pics: I took Jon-Mical and Jakson to the playground the other day...</span><br />

Friday night my dad brought some of his Mississippi friends into town to play golf. My brother, Carra, and two of their friends also came into town. They all went the next day to watch Vandy beat the absolute CRAP out of Ole Miss... I don't get to say that too often about Vandy... it feels good!!! Anyway, they all came over on Friday night and I cooked for 10 people. Whew! Actually most of it was grilled food, so Josh did the brunt of the work and MAN did he do a great job! The meal was great and the company was even better! We all had fun! Sunday was a pretty lazy day for The Courtney's. Jakson was up at about 3:30am, and so by the time Josh and I got him back to sleep we decided that we were going to sleep in as well. We layed around in our PJ's until about lunch time and then the four of us went to the Greenway! We had a GREAT time qwalking, jogging, throwing rocks in the water, and looking for animals! What a gorgeous day!!! We came home from the Greenway and I took Jon-Mical to Kroger. By the time we made it back, we decided to let Jon-Mical skip a nap and the four of us spent the rest of the day on the deck, listening to misic and playing with cars (or course). I do not know of a time when we were more in need of a relaxing, great weekend! It was wonderful and I am thankful for every minute of it. Now it is Monday again... and we have A LOT of stuff going on. Jon-Mical has THREE baseball games this week (A little much for a 3 year old???), and my work schedule is packed... Thank God for weekends. Here are 2 pics... </span><br />

I love that he comes home every day spouting off random information that he learns in school. I love that he is such a good listener... most of the time... so the facts are usually dead-on and amaze me and Josh. He literally walks in the door every day with new knowledge. He is a little questioning sponge! The other day, however, he got his facts a little mixed up...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The other day Jon-Mical walked into the kitchen and told me that when people die we put them in the ground. (Now, I am all about Jon-Mical learning the facts of life, but I did kind of want to shield him from some of the more harsh things that we all eventually have to learn. I like the fact that right now, he thinks the world is perfect. He does not (did not) know about death or sickness or pain or hurt or disease, etc.. I, honestly, without the risk of sheltering him, want to keep him as innocent as I can for as long as I can!) Anyway, apparently at school he learned a little bit about death. He said that when people and animals die we put them in the ground. Then he said that Jesus swoops down (maybe like Superman???) and takes the dead people out of the ground and they become His treasure! I see where Jon-Mical's teacher is going with this... buried treasure... buried people... Jesus' buried treasure. It is a neat and age-appropriate concept of death and after-life... eexxcceepptt for the fact that many of these kids watch a very popular TV show called, "Jake and the Neverland Pirates." So here is how the rest of the conversation went...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Jon-Mical told me that when people die we bury them in the ground and then Jesus swoops down and digs them up... along with the gold doubloons... and takes them to Heaven to be His treasure! HA HA!!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So, my mom recently had a pet that died, and they buried him in the ground. Jon-Mical is convinced that he is down there with gold doubloons around him and that Jesus is going to take His buried treasure to Heaven.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Kids... :)</span><br />

Well, I don't really have any breaking news. Life is just rolling along here at the Courtney house! Jon-Mical is out of town visiting his SuSu... He is having a great time with SuSu and Wayne, but we are DYING without him! He is going to the fair, going to see <em>The Smurfs</em>, climbing all over tractors, riding four-wheelers, throwing rocks in the creek, staying up late, and eating junk food.... and he has only been there 2 days! He is staying until Friday. The house is SO quiet! I put his toys away and they STAY THERE! I thought it would be nice, but it is awful! I am picturing how it is going to be when my babies are in college and the house stays clean and I only have half the laundry... wow! I guess I am getting a little ahead of myself... sigh...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Josh and I <em>are</em> enjoying watching something other than <em>Curious George</em> and <em>Team Umizoomi</em>, though! Jakson goes to bed around 7:00 and so Josh and I have all these big plans every night. We are going to rent movies or go out to eat or get some yard work done... not happening. Every night we put Jakson to bed and lay down on the couch and are both out by 8:00... At least we are getting caught up on our sleep! :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Jakson is growing up SO quickly! He is sitting up and he LLOOVVEESS to eat! He is definitely my kid! Here are some cute pictures...</span><br />

We are all in transition this year... Josh has left youth ministry and is now a Biology teacher at Lavergne High School. The first day of school was pretty good for him, but Josh is such a perfectionist that this entire first year (new students, new curriculum, new lesson plans and rules, etc.) is going to make for many hours in and out of school. I am now at Central Magnet School which is a challenging move for me. I left some very good friends and am sad about that, but I like the challenge of a new job. I am learning (and drowning some days) but overall it seems like it was a good move! Jon-Mical is also at a new school. He is now attending First United Methodist Preschool. He was at Belle Air Baptist Mother's Day Out last year and loved it. I know that most parents say this, but it seems that he was just a little ahead. We don't want to push him scholastically, but we also want him to learn new things. First United Methodist is an accredited preschool that is 5 days a week. I think that he will fit in well here and really love it. He started two days ago and really likes his teachers and his new friends. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Jon-Mical has also started T-Ball this fall. I know that he is young and it seems early, but we wanted him to get some fundamentals down before next spring (when it gets serious!). :-) He LOVES it! He is the only 3 year old on the team and is (by far) the worst, but he doesn't know and really has fun at every practice. His mom and dad, however, are cringing and BITING THEIR TONGUES. He looks SO CUTE in his little baseball pants and cleats... he will look so cute at every game just sitting there on the bench in his little baseball outfit... Ha! Here are some recent pics. The are on my phone and not that great, but you can see his classroom and first day of school outfit! :)</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jon-Mical also really likes to cook! I am sure it is because he has watched his mother slave away in the kitchen every single night making gourmet dinners for her loving family... oooor because there is a kitchen at school that he plays with. Well, whatever the reason, he loves to cook and wants to help me! He made a pizza ALL BY HIMSELF the other night... </span><br />

We have had such a wonderful summer. I really like my job, but I can't believe that we are back to the days of someone else practically raising my children... I HATE the fact that I see my kids for a few minutes in the morning (while we are all frantically trying to get ready and get out the door) and then for a few hours at night... We all get home around 4:00. Jakson goes to bed at 6:45... This means that I have two hours and forty-five minutes to spend as much quality time with him as possible WHILE straightening up the house, cooking dinner, doing laundry, laying out clothes for the next day, playing with Jon-Mical, and bath time...Thank God that Jon-Mical can stay up a little longer for some snuggle time. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know that most people go through this. I look back to my childhood and both of my parents worked. We went to a babysitter all summer long as well... I look back at my childhood with many fond memories, so I know that the kids will be fine... but I am not fine! I would LOVE to find some kind of job where I could work from home. I know that I see my kids more than some parents who even work throughout the summer, so I know that I should not be complaining, but I am selfish, I guess... </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, I know that I am just having a little breakdown because I have started back this week and because Jon-Mical has been with SuSu and Wayne all week (having a blast)... I know that I will be fine, but I HATE that other people get to spend more time with my kids than I do... this is not right. (At least it is mostly MiMi and Poppy C, who I know love them almost as much as I do...)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">SIGH.....</span><br />

For such an uneventful summer, it has been GREAT! I have had so much fun playing every day with my two boys. I have been trying to blog/document everything that is going on, but I am finding it hard to think of anything blog-worthy... I feel like my blog every day would read, "Well, today we woke up, played in the living room while eating breakfast, cleaned the house, ate lunch while watching Curious George, the kids napped and I cleaned or caught up on my DVR, played a little more, Josh came home, played a little more, (maybe) ventured outside, cooked dinner, ate, played, bathed, went to bed..." That is pretty much our daily routine. I would have loved to have been outside all summer long and I feel like I have been a horrible mother to Jon-Mical, but Jakson is just miserable in this heat! He is whiny and makes us all cranky, so we just play inside. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, there have been a few moments worth documenting...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jon-Mical got a super-short, big boy haircut. I don't like it very much! I just love the shaggy look...</span><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yesterday we did have a little excitement... The four of us were sitting/playing/talking on our bed when Josh got home from work. Jakson was lying on the bed and Jon-Mical was playing with Mater (of course) and he "drove" Mater right into the side of Jakson's head. Jakson immediately SCREAMED and we scooped him up and were tending to him when I looked over and noticed that Jon-Mical is crying SO BADLY and trying not to... He was pitiful! I know that it was an accident and he felt so badly about it! He kissed Jakson and told him that he was sorry, but I actually felt more sorry for Jon-Mical than Jakson! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jon-Mical is such a good sleeper! We have a such a good routine at bedtime and nap time. We take him upstairs and talk about the day that we had, say our prayers and each say something that we are thankful for, and then kisses and lights out... Jon-Mical never complains. He tells us goodnight and rolls over and goes to bed... We are very blessed to have it this easy, I know... So yesterday we were playing in his Thomas tent and nap time rolled around. I suggested that he take a nap in his tent... he, of course, loved the idea... it went well!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lastly... Josh is not going to like this part, but I thought it was funny! Jon-Mical is very intrigued by my make-up drawer... I guess it is the brushes, colors, tweezers, "paints", etc. He always asks me what it is all for and I tell him that it helps Mommy look pretty. He is fascinated. So, today he asked if he could play with it... I thought that maybe if he played with it, it would eliminate some of the mystery or whatever it is about this freakin' drawer! So, I let him play with it. He pulled his potty bench over to the mirror and I let him put on some of it... I was right! He played for about a minute and then was ready to go in the other room and play... I did get to snap a few pics to embarrass him in a few years!</span><br />

While I am excited about this coming school year and all of the changes, I am VERY sad about leaving my boys! We have had a wonderful time just hanging out! Jon-Mical is such a joy to be around. He is HILARIOUS and astounds me with his ever-growing intelligence and quirky personality. Jakson is growing SO QUICKLY. He is now constantly rolling over, smiling, laughing, and gnawing on things (a tooth is on the way)! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our 4th of July was a lot of fun with MUCH food, fireworks, and festivities. Jon-Mical LOVED the fireworks and apparently thinks that we are supposed to shoot them every night now! :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This next school year brings many changes. Joshua will be leaving his job as a youth minister and will now enter the education world as a Biology teacher at Lavergne High School. He is nervous and excited, but I know that he will do a wonderful job! Jon-Mical will now be attending First United Methodist Preschool. This is an actual preschool with actual curriculum! I can not believe that it is already time for this, but I am very excited and I know that Jon-Mical will do well! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All in all, Life is just chugging along and The Courtney Family is definitely enjoying the ride!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Monday I took Jon-Mical and Jakson to visit my mom in West Tennessee. She lives way out in the country and is always talking about hunting and fishing and four-wheeler riding, etc... needless to say, I was a little nervous about being out in that. I DO like to be outside. I like to play softball and swim and exercise, but I have not spent a lot of my life OUT in the country. I was nervous about how the boys were going to be in a new place. I took Jon-Mical on Monday and had to DRAG HIM AWAY kicking and screaming on Friday! He LOVES it there! We rode the four-wheeler (I drove him around!!!). We hiked around outside. He even fished and baited his own hook! I rode a four-wheeler for the first time and also shot a gun at some BOTTLES! I know that this does not seem like much, but this was all a very big deal for me! I have always thought that motorcycles and four-wheelers are dangerous (and I still do) but I still drove one and even drove Jon-Mical around! I also have NEVER been big on guns... I have very strong opinions on shooting animals and so I lumped all gun use in with hunting and that is NOT the case! I really enjoyed shooting glass bottles and I am quite good, to be honest! :) All in all, this was a very fun trip! It was good to see my mom and her husband and my brother and his family! We really had fun!</span><br />

It has been SO HOT these last few days! Wow! It just seems like the weather is so much more extreme now than when I was a kid... tornadoes, floods, snow, HEAT, etc... Anyway, to beat the heat I took the boys to the pool a few days. Jon-Mical LOVES the pool! He wears "water wings" and loves to swim around. He is getting pretty good at jumping off of the side of the pool, and he even jumped off of the diving board a few times! Jakson loves the water too! I got him out in the pool a few times, but then he spent the rest of the day napping under an umbrella in MiMi's lap! I think that I am going to have 2 water babies! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This weekend Dad, Ben, Carra, and Luke came in for a visit. They actually came to watch the Vanderbilt baseball team play in the super regional NCAA tournament. Ben bought tickets for dad as a RETIREMENT gift! Yay! My dad has finally retired! Anyway, Vandy won both games and are now headed to the College World Series.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Today ended the weekend. The family left. I got my house back in order. Everything is clean and we are ready to start week 3. We napped, went to the playground, took a good walk, and grilled some big steaks... a great end to a great week! What will week 3 hold???</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Here is my water baby!</span><br />

I would be lying if I said that I was not just a little nervous about staying home all summer with two kids! I mean, I love them more than anything, but I am quickly learning that 2 kids are hard work! Well, I was wrong (so far). We had the BEST week and I can already tell that this summer is going to FLY! We have played outside in the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">heat</span>. We have walked to Food Lion to rent movies from the Blockbuster machine. We have eaten a boatload of popsicles. We turn on the sprinkler almost every day! We have <i>covered</i> the driveway in sidewalk chalk and completely covered the floors of our house with matchbox cars and trains... it has been an absolute blast! Jakson has been wonderful too! He LOVES to watch Jon-Mical play! Jakson ate cereal out of a spoon for the first time and is trying his hardest to roll over! Here are a few pictures...</span><br />

I CANNOT believe that it is finally summer break!!! I am so excited about being able to stay home all summer and just play with my kids! We are going to visit the grandparents and we have a few things in mind, but most of the summer is PLANLESS! That is a wonderful thing! I just want to be around my family and just hang out... Here are a few pics that I have taken lately...</span><br />

Let me start from the beginning... Last night we are all sitting in the living room. Jon-Mical says that he has to pee. He goes into the bathroom and does his thing and then two or three minutes later he walks back into the living room and sits down. Josh and I happen to look up at him at the same time and we see that his cheeks have some kind of blank gunk smeared all over them. The black gunk is also all over his fingers and shirt. I immediately ask Jon-Mical what was all over his face. (Let me preface this story by saying that I asked him with a very nice, almost laughy tone... at first...) I say, "Jon-Mical, what is all over your face?" He looks RIGHT INTO MY EYES and says, "Nothing." I look at Josh and then look right back at Jon-Mical and ask him again... he answers, "Nothing." At this point I scoop him up and carry him into the bathroom, set him on the counter, point his face toward the mirror and point to the black on his cheek... (I immediately assumed that SURELY he just didn't understand my questions before...) So, with my finger pointing to his cheek, I ask again. "Jon-Mical, what is this black stuff all over your face?" He says (looking DIRECTLY at the black stuff), "Nothing." I then say, "So, you don't see any black stuff on your face?" He looks and then, AGAIN, looks me right in the eyes and says, "No." WHAT?!?!? Josh and I look at each other with looks of absolute shock! Is our child actually lying right to our faces!?!? Surely not!?!? We then ask him probably ten more times and he lies ten more times... wow! This is a first! Our sweet, perfect, innocent three year old just looked into our faces... the faces of the two people in the world that love him the most and would do anything for him... and LIED to us! I immediately took out my phone and took a picture of his face and sent it to my parents and to Josh's parents... I should have seen this coming... about TEN seconds later my dad calls and I can hear the excitement in his voice as he says, "Ha! This won't be the last time either!" I must have lied to him a few times, and I honestly believe that he has been just sitting back and waiting until he could make that phone call! :) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, needless to say, while I was busy taking pictures of Jon-Mical's face and texting them to our families, Josh administered a pretty hard spanking... probably the hardest one that Jon-Mical has received to-date... I am guessing that it worked (for now, right dad?) because Jon-Mical ran around all day today saying, "I have to tell the truth!" over and over again... </span><br />

Jon-Mical actually woke up before I left, which is rare. He came into our bedroom and climbed up into our bed and scooted his little self down under the covers. Josh was in the shower and I was in the closet picking out clothes. When I came out of the closet his first question to me was, "Mommy, will you get back in bed and snuggle with me?" It KILLS me when he asks me that when I have to go to work! I HATE telling him that I can't! I HATE telling him that he has to wait until Saturday morning to snuggle with his mother and watch morning cartoons. How do you explain to a 3 year old that I don't WANT to go to work.... that I would give ANYTHING to crawl right back into bed and snuggle with him all day, but I HAVE to go to work. I have tried saying that. I try saying, "Honey, I would LOVE to snuggle with you, but I have to go to work." Jon-Mical always says, "No, you don't! You have to snuggle with me!" Uuuggghhhh!!!! Oh well, ELEVEN more days of school and then a summer of snuggling! Whoop whoop!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Ben and Carra came in to town to spend time with us, but they also came because I planned a Surprise 30th Birthday Party for Josh. We went to Arrington Vineyards with all of our closest friends and we had a GREAT time! Wow! It could not have been a better night! Great friends and great conversation! </span><br />

He says,</span><br />
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"'Life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that makes you smile.' When the roaring flames of your heart have burned down to embers, may you find that you have married your best friend." Well, that makes me happy because when the flames do die down, I know that I will have my best friend for the rest of my life by my side! He is absolutely perfect for me! He is my other half and, I KNOW that he is a gift from God just for me! I am so thankful for him!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Josh turned 30 today! Thank God for that! I am 31 and am sick of hearing about me being in my 30's and him still in his 20's! Whew! But I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my absolute Best Friend! Here are some pics...</span></div>
