Jase birthday party

Jase had his birthday party and we took them to Liberty Land. We decided we wanted to keep it small so we invited the boys in his primary class. He gets along with them really well. They all had a lot of fun. They played Lazer Tag and took a ride on the water bumper boats. I have to say watching them play lazer tag was the best. I couldn't stop laughing. They played in teams. The 4 little boys and Keldon on one team, and another group that had 3 boys and 1 girl and I think the youngest was 12. They were a really nice group and were really good to the kids. It was so funny to watch these 4 boys chase those bigger kids around trying to shoot at them. Then the big kids would start yelling "get the dad, get the dad". That made Keldon feel old. I'm glad I was able to get pictures. There are a ton so enjoy.

This picture I took without a flash. This was what it really looked like in there, I just couldn't get the images to stay focused.

The bigger kids shooting.

My Jase is 5!

I cant believe I now have a 5 year old. It doesn't seem that long ago that he was so teeny. Now he is huge. He just keeps getting taller and taller, but still skinny as ever. Jase has been such a blessing to our family, I can't imagine it without him. Even though the two of us butt heads sometimes, he makes me so happy. He does so many things to help me out, I think I take them for granted sometimes. I love him so much and want to share that with everyone. Here are some things he does that I love.

*At bedtime he goes to sleep so easily. He's usually out in 10 minutes.

*As long as he gets his story and a drink he has no problem going to sleep.

*If either me or Keldon is gone at bedtime he gets really worried about whoever isn't there.

*He always helps me get whatever I need from another room, so I don't have to get up and do it myself.

*He loves water. As long as his life jacket is on he'll jump right in.

*He is very considerate of others and tries not to hurt any ones feelings.

*When ever I look at someone else whose child behaving very badly I am so thankful Jase doesn't do most of what they are doing.

*He LOVES to talk, if you'll let him he will go on, and on, and on, and on, and on about whatever is interesting to him at the moment.

*When ever I'm at the Dr. he talks about 80% more than I do.

*He has a very great imagination when it comes to playing with toys.

*He loves to say prayers. If we ever ask whose turn it is he will almost always say it's his.

*He seems to always crash his 4 wheeler/ 3 wheeler.

*Lately when he is watching a cartoon, he gets in the zone and sometimes really gets into the movie.

*He loves funniest home videos.

*He is such a great helper.

Sleeping

Why is it that kids are so cute when they sleep?

Thanksgiving Point Gardens

We went to Thanksgiving Point Gardens, $2 Tuesdays are wonderful. I don't think we would ever go unless it's only $2. It was my first time there, and it was a lot better than I expected. The kids loved it. So here are a bunch of pictures I took while there.

Zoe b-day

We had Zoes birthday on Monday (I know I'm a little late). It was really small just me, Keldon, Jase, Zoe, Keldons parents came before we opened her presents and had cake, and Gina, my sis-in-law. Thanks Gina for coming over and spending the time with us. I love to get to see you. She was so excited when we told her she got to have cake and open presents. She started jumping up and down saying "yeah". Here's a few pictures.

It was pretty princess shoes.

She was so excited and loved her presents.

YUMMY! CAKE!!

My baby Z is 2

Just some pictures of my baby girl. I can't believe she is 2 already. It feels just like yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital. And yet she is now going to be a big sister. So I'm just going to tell you some of the fun things about Zoe and why we love her so much.

*She is saying so many words. I love when they start talking.

*She loves to be naked.

*She always want to go pepe.

*She wont let you put her diaper back on until she goes pepe.

*She loves to give the dogs loves.

*She helps be bring the dogs inside when they wont come.

*She is so good to go to bed at night and at nap time.

*She gives the best hugs and kisses.

*She loves books, and stories.

*She is great at saying prayers.

*Instead of saying food she says eat.

*She loves babies and has to wrap them in washcloths.

*She loves balls and has a pretty good throw arm.

*She uses barbies as a bat instead of a doll. (sorry Mason)

*She loves to go to nursery and doesn't cry at all while there.

*She loves to say Jase, and when she says it it's just so cute.

*Her favorite food is cheese, candy, and grapes (apples).

*She calls all fruit apples.

*The only animal she calls by its name is tutol (turtle).

*Every other animal she just makes the sound they make.

*For a seal she sticks her nose in the air and points to her nose and says ball. (for a seal with the ball on his nose).

*She is awesome to let me do her hair. As long as she is standing in front of the sink and playing in the water.

*She loves her daddy.

*When ever I tell her daddy is at work, she always says "Bob".

*When ever we talk about uncle Bob, she always says "Bob, nanny" (nanny means candy).

These are just some of the fun and funny things about Zoe. I could add to the list all day but am not going to. We love her so much and are so happy she is a part of our family. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZOE.
