Where did the weekend go?

Its been way to busy and I have no pictures to show for it. Saturday was Lagoon day. Brett had a ball. he got to go on lots of rides, play darts, and his favorite thing was playing in the fountain. We didnt go until 4:30 and the lines in Kiddie Land were not bad at all. He road about a dozen rides by the time we left at 7:15. All in all he earned every minute of it. The lines were not horrible it was just HOT! Brett spent 30 minutes of his time there playing in the fountain having a ball.

Sunday we went 4 wheeling with a big group of people. Brett had a blast again. By the time we got home we were so dusty I kept thinking of that little kid on Charlie Brown named "pig Pen". We all had a cloud of dust around us.

Cody and Brett are doing good. Brett is getting a little less nervous about him. Cody has been doing good too. Sleeping through the night. Our only deal is potty training. He hasnt had many accidents because of our watchful eyes but he doesnt know how to tell us he needs to go out yet.

Brett Did It!

Well its official Brett earned his 10 stickers for being good and now he gets to go to Lagoon. For a while there I wasnt sure he was going to make it but he did!!! He has been a good boy at school and home.

New Puppy Photos

New pictures of Cody! So far its been sort of a mixed response from brett. One minute he is overly hyper about the new puppy and the next minute he is screaming that the puppy is going to bite him. Cody missed his parents his first night here and spent a lot of time whining while we should have all been sleeping. we are all sort of having short tempers right now.

another update in the Jackson household is that Justin is almost done with his dissertation thesis. Its all been approved he just has to print it out for the final review and of course we are out of colored ink!

New Addition to the Jackson Family

I can hardly wait until Monday! On Monday I am picking up our new little golden retriever puppy! He is in cedar city and we havent meet him yet but we just know he is perfect for our family. Brett is terrified of dogs and we are hoping that he will have fun growing up with a new puppy. He will be 9 weeks old when we get him. his name is yet to be decided. Justin and I really like the name Cody for him but Brett has been saying Leo, Raf (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and now its "the Lion King". Our Big Red is the big one on top.


This is just the cutest picture of some other puppies we were looking at but decided against.

Lagoon

Brett has been having a rough time lately at school and home. He has been hitting his teacher and us a lot. We are working on a way for him to earn stickers and go to Lagoon. I have to go to Lagoon anyway for my company party so this is a good way for him to earn something. Lagoon is free for us to go to on the 26h and Brett is so excited. he has earned stickers now 2 out of 3 days. Its a good start. I am hoping it keeps motivating him. He loves putting his stickers on.

4 Wheeling Maniac

Brett LOVES four wheeling! I think he had one of the best weekends of his life going out on the wheelers. The grin on his face was non stop the entire time he was out.
