Happy Birthday Jackson!!!

I can't believe my little boy turned 3 today!!! It is crazy how fast time goes. Jackson is the greatest little boy and I love every ounce of his being (even his tantrums) :) I am so lucky to be his mom and laugh every day at this little kid. He is so full of personality and ENERGY!!!! He loves everyone and is my little social butterfly. We had a fun family birthday party for him yesterday and he loved every minute of it. He kept saying "Thanks mom for making me have a special day" gotta love that kid! :) Jackson was in heaven opening presents and kept saying, where's my next present mom?Anxiously awaiting presents... Look how patient he looks!
This is the smile we get every time lately. His face is towards the camera, but not the eyes... Like the black teeth and lips, he was licking the cake before we even started the party! :) Jeremy and I love this kid so much and are so lucky to be his parents.

Memorial Park

We went to the Memorial park with my family and had a great time. I love when my sister is in town and hate that she had to go home. Luckily I will see her in a few days. I thought I would post a few pictures from our day. I realized I don't have hardly any picture of my boys lately on here. :) Oops, I'm a bad mom!!!
Look how still he is sitting while getting his face painted. He does not sit still, so this was amazing and too funny!!!My cute little Indian boy!!! He took the headband off after five minutes and said "mom this paper is bugging me and this feather is bugging me too!" :)My little Ty-Ty!!! I love this boy so much, and that smile makes me smile more than anything!!! Ty is doing really well - he has been cured of his milk, egg, and wheat allergies. We've been going to a quack doctor and it seems to be working. He still has lots of allergies, but at least I am not nursing anymore and he is taking normal "cheap" formula! :)

It was such a fun day - my boys miss there cousins that went back to Vegas and Cali, but we will see them soon and we can't wait!

Happy Anniversary Babe!!!

Jeremy and I have been married 4 years today! I'm the luckiest girl in the world to be married to Jeremy. Its amazing how time flies especially when we had 2 kids just after our 3 year mark. I'm so lucky to have Jeremy in my life and I thank my Heavenly Father every day for allowing me to run into Jeremy at a singles ward 5 1/2 years ago. He is the best husband and father I could ever ask for. He is the most caring person you'll ever meet. He is always concerned about my feelings and how he treats other people. I can't wait for what the next 60+ years have in store for us!On our honeymoon at the port Cozumel. Wish we were still there... :) Maybe for number 10!

I love you babe!!!

Etta Lane

I have always been a jewelry junky and can't seem to ever have enough of it. :) Jewelry can make a plain outfit cute and a cute outfit even cuter. I've always wanted to make and sell jewelry but didn't ever dare to actually start the adventure. Well.........I have finally started my own little jewelry business and am loving doing it. "Etta Lane" (after my middle name Loretta) has kept so busy lately that you can see why this blog (and my husband and kids) have been so neglected lately. I'm having so much fun and loving every minute of it. Today we are in the car and Jackson says, "I don't want to go to the bead store....beads are bad". Poor kid, I've traumatized him from my bead/jewelry obsession. :) If you want to see anything I've made check out my new blog (I actually have a lot that isn't on the blog yet, I'm trying to get everything on there but also trying to be a mom and wife so it is coming slowly).

Let me know what you think... I would love any input and suggestions! And if you're looking for a mother's day gift, all girls love jewelry! :)

Jackson in Whoville...

A few weeks ago Jackson was running around a chair at my moms house and couldn't stop and flew into a big bar stool. He chipped his front tooth and his mouth was all bloody. The next morning we went to get him and he looked like this...He looked just the the Who's in Whoville. His lip was swollen for a few days and then went dark black purple inside his mouth.
So sad... Everytime I see him smile I get sad. I loved his smile, (and still do of course) but now you see one front tooth that is chipped, and the other has already turned grey. Good thing he's a cute kid cuz he'll have this smile til he loses the teeth.

My little Vampire...

Edward or Ty? I'm a little partial.... :)

My baby is 6 months old

Ty turned 6 months old last Friday. It's crazy my little baby is getting so big, and I do mean big. He weighed 19 lbs at his 6 month visit...that's why my backs been hurting. :) I sure love my little angel and don't know what I would do without him. I'm so lucky to be his mom and can't wait to see him and Jackson interact more once he's a little bigger. This was the first time he tried rice cereal....and he didn't like it much. We waited to start him on solids with his allergy issues, so we are just now exploring the world of mushy food. :)
The cutest boys ever!!!!
