Changes

I have decided to get back on the blogging train, but with some changes! I am going to start posting projects that me and Jagger are working on. This includes sewing, card making, scrapbook layouts, baking, cooking, kids crafts, and much more. So stay tuned, it will debut soon!

Back to blogging

I took a blogging hiatus, but I suppose I am back!

Everyone is doing well in this house and Jagger never stops amazing me and Aaron! His vocabulary is growing, which is so fun! He is running around everywhere. He literally never stops, except to sleep. He had a 18-month well check on the 9th weighing in at a whopping 23# 4oz. and he is 31.25 inches tall. We had to fill out a skills test and he was above the "normal" ranges in all of those!

My mom has been up 2 different times this summer and we have throughly enjoyed having her up here, especially Jagger!

Our garden went above and beyond what we ever expected it to. I have canned so many tomatoes that I don't think we will have to buy any this winter! We had lots of sun sugar cherry tomatoes also that make a great sun-dried tomato. Lots of cucumbers that I made bread and butter pickles as well as dill pickles. We had fresh broccoli and cabbage which you just can't beat fresh from the garden.

I have started picking up some new business with Sugar Overload, cakes! It has been so much fun to make them and I feel I get a little bit better every time I make another one! This past weekend I made sunflower cupcakes for a neighbors party and they were so cute!

I am cruising along in my medical transcription program. I am hoping to get done by early spring, but for sure by June. Then I want to get Jagger in a part-time preschool, preferably a Montessori school.

Changing sites

I can't get blogger to work like I want it to, so I am changing blog hosting sites. I am not just going to post it because I got some spam comments not too long ago. So, if you want the link, post a comment below or email me if you have my email and I will send you that way! Lots of new and exciting things will be happening at the new blog. Recipes, crafts, coupons, photo editing, creating graphics, and of course Jagger!

Hope to see you there :)

What's for Dinner

What is on your menu this week?

We are having:

M: Chicken Fajitas with spanish rice

T: Ceasar Salad with Chicken

W: Pesto Cavatappi (My first attempt at recreating a recipe from a resturant :/

R: No clue

F: Hamburgers~ We are having guest, and who doesn't love a good hamburger! Then it will be off to the firework show!

Vocabulary

Jagger's vocabulary is expanding daily! He now says:

Mama, Daddy, fish, shoe, nose, no while shaking his head, shorts, shirt, "nana" for banana, and I know there are more, I have just gone blank.

He loves to talk to his meme and give her kisses! We can't wait for her to come up and spend lots of time with us!

I m also happy to report that I have successfully weaned off of zoloft, my anti-depressant/anxiety! I am so happy! I feel amazing! One side affect, I have become somewhat OCD about keeping the house clean and organizing! Not a bad thing right?

Make Over

As you can see, we are getting a make over! It is still a work in progress, but I couldn't resist the cuteness!

Stay tuned for other ideas too, like crafts! See what Jagger and I did yesterday?

Lack of posting

As you have noticed, I haven't been posting much. There are several reasons: !. It is summer time and we live outside! 2. We have been busy. 3. I started back to school 4. I like to think that I use this more as a journal, or Jagger's baby book, since I haven't actually written in his in over a year. I don't really think of this as a way for people to see what he is doing instead of calling or emailing. So, I quit posting, and nothing has changed.

With that being said, I would like to keep up with what he has been doing, because I know my memory will fail me!

Jagger now walks every where and is pretty good at it! He chases Emma when she has a toy and just laughs. He is seriously the sweetest kid I have ever seen. He always wants to hug and get/give kisses. He is protective over his food, don't mess with him, unless he wants you to. As far as words, he doesn't say many words, but he barks, meows, howls, says "hey", "mama", "daddy", and some others that I can't think of right now.
