A Country Boy Can Survive, Country Folks Can Survive!
My Uncle Clyde always plants the corn for the family and it has started to come off, so we put up a little tonight. Unfortunately, we are in desperate need of rain - the water hose just doesn't do the trick like God's water does. But we still got some (pray we get some rain b/c I think it will produce great if we get some) and we hope to put up a little more in the next few days! Mom has plenty in the freezer already, but she has told me she will bring us some out to Kansas when they visit. If David and I can get enough to have until next summer - we can put some up for ourselves!
So here is my country boy - silking his first ear of corn. Age 2 years, 3 months!

28 Weeks and 3 Days
I had another appointment today and all went well. I am going every 2 weeks and I don't really know why since they don't do much, but they are the boss, right?? My blood pressure was good and baby's heart beat was fine along with my belly measurement. I did gain 4 pounds in 2 weeks- YIKES putting me up to 13 pounds total. I may just gain more this go round than I did with Jackson, but at least I know how to get it off in the end. I am blaming it on being at home with my mom and eating all the yummy Southern food cooked here....and all the sweets! :)
28 weeks and 3 days

Fun at Memaw's and Papa's
Jackson found Papa's peanuts- MMMM good!
Memaw shared the beaters with Jackson (his first time) and boy was this a hit! Can you see the movie CARS on in the back....we watch it ALL THE TIME!
Piano time and he plays the best in his undies! :)

Fascinate U Museum
I took Jackson to the Fascinate U Museum today...it is like the Hands on Museums. Anyway - temperatures reached nearly 100 today and that is just too hot to be outside for both him and I. He had the best time and for $3 an adult and $1 a child - you just can't beat it! We got there at 3 b/c Jackson took a long nap today and stayed until they closed at 5. I am thinking this is going to be a hot spot for us this summer! Here are some pictures of the day!
This was a 911 Call Center....he seriously could have played here all day!
This was another big hit!
Protecting the city!
Fireman
This was a really neat Electrical Station
Don't go into politics son!
Don't worry- he won't vote for Obama! :)
This boy has been grocery shopping with me too much....bread and cheese! YUMM
Ringing up his groceries!

Big Boy Haircut
I FINALLY got Jackson a big boy haircut! I think he looks just so cute! I was planning on getting cut a little more on top, but Dawn said if we cut it to short - it will just stand straight up. So here are the pictures from the day!
Before
During - I was proud of him b/c this was the first time he didn't sit in anyone's lap!
After
He had just woken up and had quite the bed head!
