So, I know I have A LOT of pictures to catch up on including Jackson's Boz bday party. Here's the deal...we've recently purchased a new computer and I'm trying to figure out how to get a new website up and running. I will be able to post videos and pictures and it will be really cool. Did I mention that we are owners of a MAC??? Did I mention that I am kind of excited about this? Actually, I'm not sure who is more excited, me or Jobe. The problem is time. I only have a few hours here and there to get our pictures on this computer and then sort them and all that and then figure out how to make a really sweet website. I know, life is tough! :) Hopefully the wait will be worth it.
There is a slight problem, it seems, with the pictures and this blog - I can only post pictures that are horizontal - irritating!
Anyway, soon we will get this worked out!

4am fire

So, we've emailed these pictures to some but I thought I would post anyway! These are some pictures of a house directly behind us. I'm not sure of the exact distance behind our house but we have a house backing up to our back yard (not very deep at that point) and then a street and then this house.
We woke up at about 4:45 Saturday morning to this house exploding. Still no word on the cause but there's a high possibility that it was a meth lab of some sort. At first we thought it was a shot gun but then Jobe got his contacts in and realized that the back yard looked like it was on fire (through our tempered glass window)! Thankfully it wasn't and that all 6-8 people inside the house got out extremely safe. The house was gone in 15 minutes - before the fire dept. got here.
Jackson tells everyone about it, "the fireman came, hoses, shhhhhhhhh (water sound and arm motions), the people lost their whole house. it's so sad."

Teeth Update

Well, we went in for Jackson's follow-up at the dentist and it went very well. All 3 teeth are in place and not moving, which is very good! The dentist was very surprised at how good they looked, how good the gums looked, and just the fact that they were still in his mouth! She thought he would definitely lose the left front tooth, which is what we were expecting, if not all of them. The funny thing is, the worst one (left front) looks the best. That's the one she actually stuck back up in his mouth. It's relatively straight and has great color. The other two (right front and the one to the right of that) were really loose but the root was in place...they are rapidly changing colors, not so straight, look kind of yellow/grayish. Kind of sad when you look at a picture from the morning of. BUT, at least he still has another set - I suppose it's not the end of the world!

These are some pictures we've taken this spring in the bluebonnetts. I, of course, have a ton so I will try to pick the best ones.
