app-mania.

my mother got a new iphone this week.

she's getting a little app happy.

she just downloaded the flashlight app.

i told her it was dumb, and she told me to wait til the power

goes out.

ha.

i love her.

sometimes my mom buys me flowers.

sometimes my mom is really funny.

she has this thing with medical examination gloves.

she wears them to clean stalls, clean the kitchen, clean the pool, cut up steak or watermelon for sunday dinner... you get the picture.

and its great.

it makes me laugh.

& it makes me love her even more.

p.s. can i have this party please?

nancy and shirley have good days sometimes.

ethan is turning 8 next week.

he's a great looking kid, right?

he's my favorite brother at the moment. ryan is being relentless about the fact that i'm not popular enough to be in the yearbook more than three times. pshaw.

remember that blank wall in my room?

not blank anymore.

last night my mamma and michelle (nancy and shirley)

hung all my pictures while i layed on my bed.

i'm helpful, whatever. :)

now only if they would clean my room...

loves,

jessica.

ethan : how do you spell beautiful?

(jessica looks at mom to see her smiling cheesily back at her)

jessica : M-O-M.

ethan : no, i meant beautiful.

jessica : i know, M-O-M!

ethan (with frustration) : ugh no M-O-M does NOT spell beautiful, it spells mom!!!
