Top Ten Tuesday - Favorite Things

#1

MY GARDEN
I love my vegetable garden and my flowers. I'm not very good at it yet but its one of my favorite things to do and I hope that some day I will have some corn that gets over two feet tall.

#2
SMUCKER'S UNCRUSTABLES
It may look and sound gross but I'm not kidding when I say its a instant picnic and not nearly messy as a normal PB&J sandwich.

#3
CANON

My camera, I don't know what I would do if I wasn't able to document every thing with pictures.

#4
TIVO
More for the fact that it saves my children from having their dad yell at them the way our dad did.

#5
REFRIGERATOR
I LOVE the never ending supply of ice and filtered water.

#6
DUST MOP
Even the kids like this one it makes sweeping the floor a game.

#7
GPS
I would have been lost in Salem most of the time if it wasn't for GPS

#8
CAMPER
My whole life I thought it wasn't really camping if you weren't in a tent or out under the stars. But now that I have my own room with a door that I can separate myself from the kids and a heater I will never go back. Never never never..

#9
IPOD
This has made working out better for both of us.

#10
PAINTING

This is actually #1 or #2 but I never get to do it so I dropped it down the last.

#11
COMPUTER
If it wasn't for the computer there would be no blogging and you wouldn't be reading this right now.

Friday Flashback - Prom Night Edition

I first have to say, for some reason this post makes me extremely uncomfortable. I don't think it's because of the ex boyfriend or the fact that my dresses are all hideous and skanky. I just don't know, maybe it's because I wasn't able to find one of Jeff's. Anyway, whatever it is... here they are.

1994 Grant Union High School in John Day. What ever made me think a banana clip was ok for prom?

1995 Aloha High School in Aloha. Let's start with the tragedy of my date's cowboy faze and the reason he didn't accompany me to my own prom not to mention the fact that I look like a stripper but someone asked my date if I was one.

Ah yes. My prom 1995 Hilhi in Hillsboro. Yes, I was wearing purple tights. But in my defense my date was waring a purple tux and purple was big that year. Every other dress was purple. For what ever reason these are the only pictures I have left of me and my date.

Judging by the whitness of my skin, there is no chance of melanoma here.

A bad reaction!

As my sisters know, having Jackson vaccinated the first time was one of the most traumatic moments of motherhood for me. I thought for sure that I was poisoning my baby and I cired the whole way home from the doctor's office. After five years of vaccinations and two years for his sister, I was getting ok with it.
But yesterday we needed to get all the ones he would need for school and, well, he had a reaction. The doctor said it's not bad, but with the way I am about my kids and their health, it has felt a lot worse.
