I took Taryn into the clinic to get the other half of her flu shot. I didn't get away from the house as early as I would have liked, because of underlying circumstances, so we got to the clinic around 10 am. The girls up front all know me, since this is where Vaughn works, and because I bring in the kids from time to time. I waited for about 45 minutes, until one of them came out and said that they told the nurses that I had been waiting an awfully long time. I then text Vaughn, who is on inpatient, and asked if he could come and speed things up a bit. FINALLY, after almost an hour, Vaughn came in and took us back, found a nurse, Taryn's shot which lasted a GRAND total of 5 seconds (she never cries) and we were out the door. GEEZE!!!! Not what I had planned on doing my WHOLE morning, but oh well. You would think being a doctor's wife gets ya some perks.

It was fun to spend time, just she and I, watching a show and talking about princess stuff. It is times like this that I cherish with my little girl. And I know Vaughn loves it that Tyson FINALLY has an interest in football. It was a good night for all of us.Jackson'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01326258798786709239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392519989655927613.post-4411747561879964432012-11-15T11:08:00.002-08:002012-11-15T11:08:48.264-08:00Down A Red Dirt RoadI have been listening to a lot of "Country" Music lately. I change my music choice every day, but today it's Country. If you haven't listening to "Country Boy" by Aaron Lewis, or "Red Dirt Road" by Brooks & Dunn, you are missing out! Listening to such songs makes my heart ache for Circleville and growing up there. I have mixed feeling about where our little family should end up. Since Vaughn just finished his last interview for the ER fellowship, my thoughts wander to where we will be in a year's time; here in Knoxville or somewhere else. And then what is next? Do we stay in Knoxville, TN, or move back west? Both places have a different appeal, and both have their own pros and cons. It is a tough decision for Vaughn and I because we want the best for the kids and want them to grow up in a place where they can participate in whatever they want.

I have been wanting to do something different in Tyson's room for a long time. His head board was a brassy gold and <b>SO</b> outdated. But who has a million dollars to redo a room. Luckily I have a lot of friends who do a lot of DIY projects, and my sister has this same head board. She re-did it and so I thought I could as well. Since I don't have a garage, I had to pray for good weather, and the heavens smiled on me and sunshine was in the forecast all day on Saturday.</div>

It took 1 1/2 cans of spray paint, most of the day for the drying purposes, but I think it turned out pretty good.<br />

Here it is on the bed. Disregard the unmade bed. We had to mess it up to reattached the head board. I love how it turned out and so did Tyson. He said it made it look like a whole new bed. I like how it matches his wall decor. <br />
Now what else can I spray paint.....Jackson'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01326258798786709239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392519989655927613.post-75196397303996625252012-11-07T19:23:00.001-08:002012-11-07T19:23:22.346-08:00"Dad!! Why Did You Do That?"What more can I say. Well...actually I can say a lot, but here is the whole story in a nutshell.<br />
Tyson came home today with another loose tooth. They are dropping out of his mouth like rain from the sky. Any how, so he shows me his loose tooth and wants to wait until Daddy gets home to pull it. Fine with me. Because the last time he and I pulled teeth, it took HOURS!!! So dad comes home and within 15 minutes they are in the bathroom trying to pull a tooth. It was a back and forth battle. Vaughn would try to get it out and Tyson would be backing away. I was in the kitchen, listening to all of this, laughing and feeling glad it wasn't me. Finally I hear Vaughn say, "Tyson let me see how loose it is." Then...<br />
"DAD! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?" I knew exactly what had happened by Tyson's word choice and tone. Vaughn had removed the tooth without his son's permission. Tyson proceeds to come and show me the viscous mayhem that his dad did to him. Well...the tooth wasn't exactly out, it was cockeyed and hanging by a thread of skin, turned upside down in his mouth. I told him to pull it and that just started another eruption of rants from his mouths. No one was touching it and he was going to sleep with it that way! By this time I am about at the end of my rope and this is going to stop soon or else Mom is getting involved. <br />
"Tyson," I said, "You have 2 minutes to get that tooth out of your mouth or I will sit on you and pull it out!" And then I set the timer.<br />
(On a side note: I was on the receiving end of being sat on and having my tooth removed by my very own mother, while the visiting teachers were in the living room. But that is another story.)<br />
I gave Tyson the count down. "One minute...thirty seconds," and at twenty-five seconds he mustered up the courage and pulled it out! Hallelujah, the angels sang!"<br />
Now if I can just remember to be the tooth fairy tonight and not drop the ball on that one again!!!Jackson'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01326258798786709239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392519989655927613.post-12460085016114692192012-11-03T16:30:00.001-07:002012-11-03T16:30:13.284-07:00Carving Pumpkins<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Pumpkin carving at the Jackson household usually falls on Vaughn's shoulders, but since he was in another city at meetings all week long, it fell to me. I have a love/hate relationship with pumpkins. I love the finished product, but I hate getting it to the finished product.<br />

The kids wanted pumpkins to match their costumes this year. So we did a witch for Taryn and a Frankenstein for Tyson. I have to draw the cutouts on the pumpkin first before carving. I am no expert at this.<br />

Taryn was all about helping me and wanted to scrape the "pumpkin guts" out. But when it came time to "take" them out of the pumpkin.....<br />

I HATE pulling out the guts. I have a weak stomach on some things and this is one of them. Not to mention the fact that I was getting sick at this point in time with the flu, and I didn't know it yet! It was all I could do to keep from throwing up as I pulled out the "guts".<br />

Tyson was a little better about pulling out the "guts" of the pumpkin than Taryn. Although, Tyson hasn't wanted to do this part, in past years, either.<br />

It is party time here at our house. Today was Taryn's birthday party. Last night I was in a panic, once again, because her cake wasn't turning out as I had envisioned it. I wanted to make a giant black spider on it, but when I went to mix the black food coloring it turned the frosting dark green! Gross! So...I scrapped that idea and opted for a big spider web and a rubber spider, courtesy of Tyson's Halloween bag. Finally at about 10 p.m. I had the cake finished. While I was working on it, the kids were helping me with game preparations and other party prep. What a night!</div>

Party morning. Taryn wanted a dress up Halloween party, and so again we put on the witch's costume. I am glad after all my work it has been used. <br />

Once all the kiddos came, we went into the kitchen, since it is the biggest room in my condo, and gathered around the kitchen table to make our masks. I figured the kids would make them so fast and then we would be on to a game. I was wrong! They were all so meticulous about how their mask should look. Loved it! Tyson was my little helper today. He helped planned and prep most of the party. He also got scout credit for helping me. I like it when you can do several things at once.<br />

Once we made our masks, we played pin-the-face-on-the-pumpkin. The kids liked it so much they wanted another turn, and so we played it again. By this time I was running out of time, so as Tyson was starting another game, we lit the cake, sang Happy Birthday to Taryn and I prepared cake and drinks for the kids. After they took their turn ghost bowling, they got to come and eat cake. They all downed the cake and Capri Suns. They were hungry. Then it was presents time.<br />

Thanks to everyone who came and made her day so special. I even enjoyed having all those kids in my house. Their energy is so much fun to be around. Happy Birthday Taryn!

Tonight's Trunk-or-Treat wasn't as stressful as last nights', due to the fact that I had the kids' costumes finished. I did have to decorate a trunk and that was done in a hurry. Tyson asked me, as we were driving to the church, what I was decorating the trunk to look like. I replied, "I have no idea. We will see what I brought with me and then go from there." Yes, that is how I roll these days, by the seat of my pants! </div>

I had just enough candy to give to everyone and then I was out. The kids had fun and there were a lot of cute trunks around. I did add some Halloween music to mine courtesy of Vaughn's little I-pod stereo.

Since noon today, I have been in a panic trying to get Halloween costumes ready for Cedar Bluff's annual Trunk-or-Treat! I had Taryn's costume mostly finished and somewhat of Tyson's completed. Needless to say, it was down to the wire. I made both of their costumes this year and I can honestly say it was worth it, but I may not do it next year! Whew! It was a lot of work.<br />

In the end, I had 45 minutes to paint faces and garnish kids in their outfits, before we needed to leave the house. Yeah, time was not on my side. Here I am trying to put make up on Taryn. Notice how half the mascara is on her eye lids and not the eye lashes. ARG! Very hard to put it on a 4 year old, but we did it and she was finished.<br />

Next came the task of turning my boy into a scary Frankenstein Not an easy task, mind you. Here are the beginning efforts.<br />

The end result was actually better that I expected it to be. I cut the bottom off of a milk carton and covered it in black duct tape. (I love duct tape!) Then I added felt for the hair in the front. We then took a hanger and pinned it upside down, inside his shirt to make it look like he had broad shoulders. I made fleece patches which we safety pinned to his pans and his shoes were made out of Kleenex boxes wrapped in the black duct tape. This was truly a home made costume. <br />

Taryn's skirt is completely made up of tulle. I saw something similar to it on Pinterest and figured I could duplicate it. I found the hat in Target for a dollar and covered it in tulle as well. She has this darling little Halloween shirt that went with it perfectly. The hardest part was the criss crossing of the orange, green and purple tulle. I had to have Taryn wear the skirt and hold still while I first pinned it all and then secured it by hand sewing it. It took me about 3 hours to complete this part. It had to be done in intervals, because after 45 minutes of holding as still as she could, the little princess had had enough. Can't say I blame her. But when I went to put the skirt on her, it was so heavy it kept falling off of her waist. So I quickly took the remainder of the tulle and made a little suspender. <br />

This is what Trunk-or-Treat looks like at CBES. It is massive and can take a long time to get through, but luckily this smart momma got there early and we only had to wait 15 minutes to start the candy hording.<br />

We went through the line of cars and the kids' bags were chuck full of candy. Tomorrow night is our ward Trunk-or-Treat, so more candy on the way. Now that their costumes are finished, I have to figure out what I am going to do for the trunk of my car to decorate it.....Jackson'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01326258798786709239noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392519989655927613.post-87313678432382490342012-10-24T21:43:00.001-07:002012-10-24T21:43:10.593-07:00Taryn Is 4 Years Old<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am beyond myself to think that my baby girl is now four. She is growing up too fast and I wish I could turn back the time, and yet I love her at this age. I asked her what she wanted for breakfast and she said, "A Mickey Mouse pancake." Easy. And then I placed a candle in the middle, because... it was her birthday!!</div>

Grandma T told her that she had to open the little gift she was sent. (We had to wait for Dad and Tyson to get home before opening up anything else). But this one could be opened. It was a little pink, leopard hand bag with money inside. So I took Taryn to the one place she has been begging to go to since we moved to Knoxville, Build-a-Bear Workshop. She has wanted to go in this store and make a bear and always asks if she can every time we go to the mall. Today I gave in and took her there. I let her pick out whatever animal she wanted and the clothes to match. The happiness on her face was worth every penny.</div>

After pictures and some music practicing, Tyson came home from school and we had to focus on home work and Halloween costumes. (more on that later). Taryn never asked once about opening her presents early. She knew that she had to wait for dad to get home. Tyson, on the other hand, was chomping at the bit to open them, and it isn't even his birthday. Funny kid!</div>

Taryn got her Doc McStuffins' doctor kit. She has been wanting this for months. And I have been searching all over Tennessee for months and this is no joke. Every Toys-R-Us has been out of stock of this particular toy. It is "the" toy to have right now. So when we were back in Utah, I tracked one down at the Wal-mart in Cedar City. I was over joyed that I had found it. I didn't know what I was going to do if we didn't get one, because that is all she has talked about for months.<br />

Tyson is a bottomless pit these days and ate more cake than all of us. He is going to have a tummy ache tonight I just know it.<br />
It was such a great day and I know Taryn loved it because she told me, "Mom, this is the best day ever!" Yes! That is what I like to hear.

Tonight we decided, on a whim, to take the kids to a corn maze out at Oaks Farms. We didn't leave the house till after 4 and knew this might be short, but we still wanted to go. We had spent the morning selling popcorn for Tyson's scouts, sending out gifts to family back home and just run of the mill stuff around the house. It was time for some fun!<br />

The first thing I loved, when we stepped out of the car, was the smell of a farm. Since I grew up helping my dad on the farm, I love the smell of hay and grass and animals. LOVE IT!<br />

In the end, Tyson's help proved to be more disastrous than not. He would push us so hard that we would both fall inside the round apparatus and plow our faces into the side. It was still good fun.<br />

Ah, the corn maze. When we first got inside it, we couldn't make heads or tails of the map. Which part were we supposed to follow. Needless to say, we got lost for a few minutes and that was half the fun. We then found a bridge you could climb up on top of and see where you were. Vaughn finally figured out the map and we got through one maze and then the second one.<br />

During the days of Sept 21-26th we went back west to see family. Yes it was a SHORT trip and yes the jet lag set in when we got back, but it was SO worth it! My mother-in-law orchestrated this big surprise get together for my father-in-law's birthday. So she flew our family out to Vegas and got Vaughn's brother Mark and sister Kariann and their families to meet at the Lake Las Vegas Resort to surprise Papa for his birthday.</div>

On Sunday, everyone had to head home and Vaughn had to get back to work. The kids and I extended our vacation and headed north to St. George, Utah, to see Aunt D, Uncle Jesse and Tritton. I have only seen pictures of this little guy above, but I finally got to meet him and love on him. He was so much fun.<br />

While we were in St. George, I wanted to take the kids to the temple where Vaughn and I were married. I wish we had a temple in our city, but hey, at least Nashville is only a few hours away. The kids loved seeing the temple grounds and looking at how pretty it all was.<br />

Aunt D and Taryn skipping on the temple grounds through the sprinklers trying not to get wet. We took the day and spent time hanging out with Aunt D and Tritton.

After being in St. George for a day we headed north again to Circleville, Utah, were I was born and raised. We had to stop up at the cemetery to see dad and say "hi." My dad has been gone 4 1/2 years, but every time I go home I half expect him to come in the house door and say, "Hello precious kid." That is what he called me. Sometimes going home to Circleville is hard on me because it is a constant reminder that he isn't there anymore. I usually have a good cry and then I feel better. I miss him a lot!<br />

We visited the historic Butch Cassidy's house in Circleville Canyon. My kids had never seen it and Tyson had to visit a historical place for scouts. What better place to do it than in my home town.<br />

My MomaD was a second mom growing up. I spent every Sunday at her house and loved every minute of it. She was a big support of mine back then and still is. I hadn't seen her in two plus years and I surprised her when we just happen to drop by. It was a real treat to see her and PopaD again. I have missed them too.<br />

PopaD and the kiddos. Tyson could remember PopaD, but Taryn was just a baby when she saw him the last time. It was fun for them to see their great-grandpa.<br />

On Saturday and Sunday the kids and I were able to listen to all four sessions of conference. This is the first time ever that this has happened. Usually the kids are running a muck and completely not interested in listening, but this past weekend was different. Tyson commented on how good most of the talks were on Saturday and Taryn could identify some of the speakers. It made for a very enjoyable conference. My only regret was that Vaughn had to work both days. At least he was able to make it to the priesthood session on Saturday night. I feel so spiritually uplifted and ready to face this week with a refreshed look on life and all its curve balls.Jackson'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01326258798786709239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392519989655927613.post-17847576255716488752012-10-06T18:04:00.000-07:002012-10-06T18:04:11.561-07:00Daddy Daughter Date 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last night our church ward had a "Daddy Daughter Date/Dance" for all the dad's and their girls. Taryn was so excited that she got to spend an evening with her daddy all to herself. We did her hair in all kinds of curls, and put on one of her sparkly dresses. She was even allowed a little make up. This was a special night. Vaughn was all dressed up in his suit and the two looked darling. Here is a picture just before they left to go. At the church they had a big feast of ham, potatoes, rolls, green beans and dessert. Then they danced and had their pictures taken. Taryn was on cloud 9 the rest of the night. I am so glad that the ward put something like this together. It was nice for dad and daughter to spend some quality time together!Jackson'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01326258798786709239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392519989655927613.post-36135751780273316502012-10-05T13:27:00.001-07:002012-10-05T13:27:32.885-07:00Preschool 2012-13<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

L to R: Lincoln Barnes, Rylan Olmstead, Kate Kramer, Taryn, Lauren Lambert. These are the kids in the preschool program that we do in our homes. It is my month to teach and what a great month to teach in. I am so excited to use all the fun elements of October. My letters are P, L, H, and N. We have already made lanterns and ladybugs. I have some cute pumpkin ideas and fun ideas for the Halloween Party. I love teaching these kiddos. They each have unique personalities.<br />

Snack time is always the favorite time of preschool. They love to talk and giggle while eating. Taryn has really benefited from this little program. I think she will be better prepared for "real" preschool next year. But on the other hand, I will miss being able to teach her.

Tyson was being such a good big brother this morning before church. As I was getting ready, he took Taryn and they read in his big Book of Mormon stories book. We had read in the <i>Friend </i>a few nights before about doing good things on Sunday mornings to prepare for church. So instead of watching cartoons they decided to read in their church books. I was so proud of those good choices they made.

These are some of the most precious pieces of "art" that I own. I would put them in a museum for all to admire, but I am selfish and want it all for me. These are just some of the many drawings my kids have made for me over the years. I love to decorate my office walls with them. They remind me of the simple, loving things in life.

This cute little munchkin takes such darling pictures that I couldn't decide which one to use, so I am using them both. She was so excited to wear her new outfit that SHE picked out at the Children's place. I took her shopping and let her decide what she wanted; a little nervous to give her so much freedom. Taryn is a fashionista! She coordinated this outfit on her own, and of course it had to have pink in it. <br />

This was our decorating idea for Tyson's door for his birthday. I found it on Pinterest. When Tyson opened his side of the door this morning the balloons came cascading down. He was shocked, but loved it! I thought it was a good way to start the birthday morning.<br />

This one is even better. Tyson got a 3DS for his birthday, more about that later, and his grandparents, Aunt D, Uncle Jesse and Tritton sent him some games for his birthday.<br />

We had a little birthday party at one of the parks. 15 kids, parents and luckily beautiful weather were present for the festive occation. We played a bunch of games and the kids had fun. Then it was time to blow out the candles and do you think I could light the stupid thing...NO! A little breeze decided to come up just about that time and I went through 4 matches before I got it lit.<br />

As soon as the party was cleaned up, Tyson and his dad rushed over to Karns' ball fields for baseball practice. Yes, the poor kid had practice on his birthday, but if you want to play around here, you don't miss practice! After a good shower, cause he was covered in sweat, we headed to ToysRus for his Nintendo 3DS. A little story about this gaming system:<br />
Vaughn and I were not going to foot the 170.00 bill for one of these when Tyson started asking for one 2 years ago. So...we made a deal with him. If he could save 100.00 dollars then we would pay for the rest. I never imagined that he would be able to save it, but he did. He saved every allowance he got, all his birthday money, good grades money, and any money he found on the ground to make that hundred dollar mark. We were so proud of him that we were glad to pay for the other half of the gaming system. I think that when a child works for something they truly want, they appreciate it more and will take care of it. <br />

I look tired and have that deer in the headlights stare, but it was such a great day. Here Tyson and I are setting up the 3DS. I am so happy for him that he was able to finally reach his goal and get it. Happy Birthday to my little buddy! You are so special Tyson and we love you!<br />
<br />
<i><b>Side Note: Today during his party, Tyson gave away his bag of candy, which he got from the pinata to a boy who wasn't fast enough to pick up any from off of the ground. I shed a little tear. He is so generous of all that he has and doesn't want to see anyone go without. He is always praying for the boys and girls in the armed services and those children who don't have a mom or dad. Those are his exact words. And that is not something we have told him to say, he just started saying it on his own one night.

I was asked where I bought these decedent treats last night at book club and I am happy to say that I MADE THEM! Of course it took all day and several botches batches of batter, but yes, I made them all by myself. My mother-in-law gave me the cream puff recipe and at first I wasn't too sure I was making it right, but they did turn out fabulous. The little cupcakes were another matter. I wanted to make red velvet cupcakes, but they didn't turn out; all three times. Betty Crocker to the rescue, and not a moment too soon. I was so glad I had that. I finished the cupcakes with the little sugar cut outs just in time for book club. Whew! <br />
On a side note, the little cut outs were made with my Cricut Cake machine. My mother-in-law gave it to me for Christmas and I haven't had the opportunity to use it until now. It takes a bit of figuring out to get it to do what you want, but it finally did what I wanted. I get to try it out this weekend on Tyson's birthday. Hopefully it works!Jackson'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01326258798786709239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392519989655927613.post-65257523530160759392012-08-29T06:44:00.002-07:002012-08-29T06:44:26.605-07:00Tyson's 5th Tooth<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Another one! If he keeps loosing teeth like this, the kid is going to look like an old man. He is almost a "gummer". He showed Vaughn and I that he had another loose tooth. We told him to just leave it alone and it would come out. That is not good enough for Tyson. He wiggled it all night and finally pulled it with his fingers. I was flabbergasted! He pitched such a fit the last time we pulled a tooth, that I couldn't believe that he was the "puller". Now he can't eat anything on that side of his mouth, because, as he puts it "I can't chew it."

Everyone decided they wanted me to make cookies, so....I did! My little helper ate, more than she helped. She kept trying to stick her hands in the batter. (Little pill)<br />

Finally I gave her the whisk and let her eat the cookie dough off of it. She was in heaven. I was then dubbed the "Best Mom Ever." And all it took was some cookie dough.

Look at those pearly white teeth. She was SUCH a good girl while we were at the dentist. They cleaned, took x-rays and examined her teeth and she never moved or made a peep. The dentist and staff were amazed at how well she acted and were shocked when they learned that she is only 3. (yes, I am tooting a horn here. That is my girl!)<br />

After the dentist we went to story time, but I think she was a little tired from being up at six to get Tyson to school and then rushing to make it to the dentist by eight. She looks a little groggy in this picture.

Tyson is officially a 2nd grader at CBES. I just about cried this morning when I dropped him off at school. He is getting to be such a big boy. I just want him to stay little. (: He was all smiles this morning. He was ready to go and had his backpack on before eating breakfast.<br />

This year he didn't want me walking him to his classroom because he is a BIG KID now! So, I got to drop him off at the school doors and he went inside. SAD! Taryn is a bit lost without her buddy, but soon she will start school and that will help. (He is a handsome kid!)<br />
