Exciting news!

Durm roll please....we are moving!  Many of you know that Josh is in the military and with the military comes moving.  I am pretty used to moving because my father and step-father were/are in the military.  It does not feel natural to stay in one place for more than four years...never lived anywhere more than five years at a time.  It was not easy as I got older infact when I started high school I told my parents I did not want to move during those four years.  Well I never moved high schools but I did move twice! 

Josh has been in for five years this coming Monday and this move will be the third base for us.  I am really happy that we will be moving closer to family....oh you might be wondering where it is we are moving to...Georgia.  We have family in Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida...sorry grandma still not much closer to Indiana.  A five hour drive to my moms seems way better than a twenty-four hour drive! 

My one concern is Jackson.  He will be going into Kindergarden and with us moving so late in the summer I am not going to have much time to check out schools.  We are going to be going on a trip this summer and we are now going to add a stop and check everything out...but schools are normally closed.  So if anyone has any information about schools around Moody AFB in Valdosta, GA please pass it my way.

I hope we dont look like this:)

Pull-Ups vs. Easy Ups



My son Preston is almost three and we have been potty training him for about six months now.  He has it down but naptime and bed time he still needs to wear something.  We have been using Pull-Ups because I had some coupons for them, but the last time I went to the store I bought Easy Ups simply because it was the coupon I had.  I was really disappointed with them.  They bunched up while he was sleeping, the material was not as good as Pull-Ups, they leaked multiple times, and they did not have the reclosable sides.  I will say that I used Pampers diapers almost exclusively with both my boys, and really never had any problems with them.  I am sure this is why it was hard to understand why Easy Ups where not holding up as well as Pull-Ups had.  Here is Pull-Ups and Easy Ups websites take a look at both and see what you think.

I was not compensated by either company this is strictly my opinion.

The gray tooth

A couple of weeks ago Jackson can home from school and said that he got hit in the mouth with a toy car.  I took a look at his teeth a tiny little chip was was missing from a tooth, and he was in a little pain but nothing to worry about.  Well last week I noticed that his front tooth looked a little gray...I thought oh great he has a "dead tooth"!  We went to the dentist today and the dentist explained that when a tooth has trama it can cause the vein to bleed into the tooth causing the gray color.  Luckly the tooth is not wingling, there isnt any abscess, and he is not in really any pain so he gets to keep his tooth.  There is a chance that the tooth will go back to white, but it could stay gray. 

Here is Jackson smiling.  I love that his gap is the same on top and bottom!

Here is a little side note about another gray tooth.  One of my youger sisters hit her mouth when she was around three, and the same thing happened to her.  For years I teased her calling her "dead tooth...I guess what comes around goes around!
