What's Shakin'?

So much has happened these last few weeks! Where to begin? Well, Drake started crawling on March 11. I have a video of it, but it is too big to put on the blog, so unless Justin wants to work on that you won't be seeing it. For Drake's sake, I am really glad that he is mobile. He is much happier now that he can get around by himself, but for my sake it sucks! You would think that our house would already be baby proofed since we have the 2 year old, but that would be a false assumption. As a matter of fact, I think it is worse because we have the 2 year old because he leaves little toys and things lying around that are the perfect size for choking babies. And of course Drake is only interested in the things that he shouldn't be playing with like Justin's weights.

Speaking of weights, Justin and I started a work out program called P90X. Maybe you have heard of it. It is a crazy, intense, 90 day program that takes at least one hour a day, 6 days a week. We took "before" pictures, but I will only post them at the end of the program if the "after" pictures are super hot because of our drastic improvements. If I post them now we run the risk of embarrassing ourselves for no reason at all.

And, as if the P90X workout wasn't enough, Justin and I also joined a co-ed softball team. I know you are thinking, "Wow! You guys are so awesome! How can I be more like you?". Well, the answer is you can't so don't even try. No, actually I wouldn't be surprised if one or both of us drop dead from sheer exhaustion in the next few weeks. Anyway, our teammates are Nicole Wood (the team manager), Chris Fox (the team coach), Carey Fox, Brindi and Ryan Horsley, Jana and Ta Thanasack, Jesse Kipper, and his brother Douglas Kipper, and Rachel Keanum. Our first game is at 9:30pm on Thursday, April 2nd at Bethesda Park on field #10 for those of you who want to come and see us work our magic (magic = lose horribly). Go ThunderCats!

Let's see, what else has happened? Oh, Drake's 9 month stats. Drake is now nine months old and he had his check-up last week. At his appointment he was 30 inches long (92%), 21 lbs. 3.3 oz. (60%), and his head was 18.2 inches (75%). I don't really know what to make of those percentile rankings. When Jackson was 9 months old he was 29.9 inches long (88%), 21 lbs. 8 oz. (59%), and his head was 18.1 inches (64%). Their measurements seem awfully similar, but some of their rankings vary rather significantly, don't you think? Whatever, I am probably just an idiot.

Finally, my mom (Grandma Pearson) had surgery this week but she is recovering very quickly. The boys and I have been over there helping her out the past few days. She should be back to her normal self sometime next week.

What the Snow?!

So, we were having pleasant weather last week. Temperatures in upper 50's even in the high 60's on Thursday. Then, out of nowhere (nowhere technically being the northwest) we get a snow storm yesterday. It was almost comparable to a mild Utah snow storm, almost. The snow started coming down at noon and didn't stop until around 7:00 last night. We only had sacrament yesterday because of the weather. Yes, Georgians are pansies when it comes to snow, but in our defense we aren't prepared to clear the roads in this type of situation. So, here are some pictures that were taken not too long after the downpour started yesterday.

After Church we went over to Grandpa and Grandma Cersey's house where Jackson played in the snow on the back porch. Later in the evening Grandma pulled him around in a sled. Jackson loves the snow.

We didn't have any snow clothes for Drake, but we let him touch some snow and watch Jackson play in it. Drake got so excited that he threw-up.

Today the sun is out and the snow is melting, but I got this picture of the house before it is all gone. It is suppose to be back into the upper 60's and even the 70's by Friday. Kind of crazy huh? We enjoyed our day in the snow, but we are ready for things to get back to normal.
