Clean up, clean up, everybody, everywhereClean up, clean up, everybody do your share
That is playing in my head as I clean up the house from being gone a week. We were in and out of the house and have piles and clothes and stuff everywhere. It is good to be in my pajamas and getting things done. My son took a great nap to aid in the cause.
Now, on to snack time and play time with my boy until 7pm. Then, more cleaning begins. I love getting my house back to normal. Then, we are on the road starting tomorrow again......at least my house will be clean. :)

I'm going to Jackson.....Mississippi
We had Jackson in the car, going to Jackson, Mississippi. He wasn't named after the city, but my mom's maiden name. Cool anyway....
We left on Thursday to spend the weekend celebrating a wedding and then Christmas with my brother's family. It was wild and exciting time. I had 4 wardrobe changes which all involved looking pretty. (Starbucks clothes get boring after awhile)
Jackson had a little suit for the wedding. He was a little too excited about the wedding and after the finish of the songs that the mothers walked down to, he would exclaim "yay" and clap. The people around him thought it was darling, Ben was embarrassed. Ben had to slip out and miss all of the wedding. However, they met another "noisy" friend outside and they played together.
My job was to make sure the bride was on time to each event during the weekend and keep her calm and focused. I am pretty proud to say that everything went smoothly and I got her up to the door at the chiming of the hour at 5pm sharp! It was monumental. I only cried when she walked down the aisle because her darn music was so moving and not like a typical traditional wedding. I am a sucker for music and how it works into the moments. She looked magnificent and he couldn't stop smiling!
Afterwards, we celebrated with 500 of their closest friends in this gorgeous Inn and I once again kept us on schedule. A nod to the band and decorated car in front, we got everyone out on time. Lavender was thrown at the finale and I wanted to smell my hands all night. At the last minute, I spotted the balcony and insisted she and Erik do their bouquet and guarder toss from the top like Romeo and Juliet or Kate and Prince William. She LOVED the idea. She giggled and I cued them to kiss. Then, when we got to the bottom, I cued them to kiss at the door before running to the car. It was fun in the middle of the excitement.
I had to meet the couple around the block to give them the marriage liscence and her purse, clothes, etc. She said the sweetest thing to me ("I was hoping the last person I would see would be you") and we hugged for a minute. As I waved to my friend of 18 years and wished the newlyweds goodbye, I knew that it was a great day. The little girl that I build sheet tents in the yard, had dance parties in our room, and taught me how to organize, was a married woman. And, to a splendid fellow. God did great matching those two up!

Colorado Pony Ride
My son has been on a pony ride about 3 times and is usually unsure about it each time. He didn't mind the ride this time, but check out the size of the pony. I think it is a perfect size for our little man. Now, Jackson literally hops on Ben's back and says "weeee" and they go around the house. Jackson even kicks his legs to the sides to get him to go. I will get it on video it soon. 
Fort
I heard Jackson over the monitor talking, but he wasn't in his bed. I was hoping he just decided to go exploring in his room. Ben walked in and found him in his fort with all his stuffed animals. I was hoping that would happen one day. I love it.

White Christmas and Christmas Cards
During Jack's nap today, I watched White Christmas and worked on our Christmas cards.
Before that, I was feeling so overwhelmed with what projects to start on........this put me in a relaxing mood to get in the holiday spirit. I am feeling soooo much better now and I am in a great mood. Jackson and I are on our way to get Daddy some dinner and bring it to him at the hospital.

Tubes it is
Jackson will be having his little out patient surgery in a couple of weeks to have tubes put in. Here is hoping for a happier/healthier little boy. He needs a break from the meds.
