Just a few things...

I am just checking in to let you all know I am basically offline for another week or two. I will inform you of all the great details in the next few weeks. Nothing bad... just way busy!

A little side note though... Jackson is officially a cruisin' baby! He started doing his half-scoot/half-crawl a couple weeks ago and man oh man is this baby into everything. He is such a busy little man. I just noticed two teeth coming in the bottom as well! Another side note; he gained about a pound in three weeks (which is good since he is so underweight). I was ecstatic.

Another little news flash... Oakley is officially potty-trained. She has decided it is fun to do #2 in the potty. It isn't scary anymore for her.

Thanks to the most wonderful book I have ever read on parenting life is much smoother. I would recommend 'Parenting with Love & Logic' to anybody! That book has seriously changed my life!

I will be getting back with y'all in a few weeks!

Skechers already?

Yesterday Reagan asked, "Mom, can I have some 'Skechers'?" To which Mike and I replied by letting her know if she saved up her money she could go buy a pair. Mike mentioned that he thought it was wonderful that she wanted to go get herself a good pair of expensive, sturdy shoes. She looked at me with a sad look in her eyes and said, "But Mom, they're the shoes that give you air with every step you take." We both giggled a little and reminded her that if she saved up her money (and we shared ideas on how to earn extra money) she could definitely get a pair.

So I guess I will be coming up with some extra chores to assist Reagan in creating some money for her Skechers. Heaven forbid she wear a pair of shoes that don't give her any air!

I just can't believe all this stuff starts at age 6. I don't remember really getting into name brand clothing until I was around 11 or 12. Maybe my memory is skewed though.
