Playing with Payton

Today Payton came over to play for a little while. Jayden was so excited to have someone to play with, they played fireman, chased each other for a while, and then played choo choo. They have so much fun together and are the best of friends.

Cookies with Grandma

Once a week my parents come over and watch the boys so that Geoffrey and I can have a date night. Sometimes they go to the park, take walks, and sometimes when we are lucky they make us treats. Tonight grandma and Jayden decorated bear cookies and look how cute they turned out!! I love that we are able to have a date night and I really love that they go out of their way to do special things with Jayden and Alex. Thanks for the treats, we love you!!

Growing up..

In a couple weeks I will have a Two year old!!! I can't believe it!! Where does the time go? Jayden is an amazing little boy, so full of life and so inquisitive and smart. He likes to do so many things like play horses, read books, blow bubbles, swim, play with his friends, eating popsicles, singing, and dancing. He loves going to church and nursery and usually by mid week he asking to go. He is a lover, a snuggler, and the best big brother. His personality is definately starting to take shape and he is becoming more sure of what he wants and when he wants it. He likes to run off and go the opposite way he is supposed to, he is becoming a struggle at bedtime and will sneak out of his room and hide, and though I know that these are just signs of becoming two I will not be sad to see them go.... However there are some things that I will miss when they are gone like; his big fat hands, his fat feet that only fit into stride rite XXW shoes!!, his ability to burst into a song for me, and burst out into the shimmie shake just because he wants too. I will miss how he calls Geoffrey "daddrey" a combination of daddy and Geoffrey. It's too cute! Hopefully his blonde hair and flakes of blue in eyes are here to stay, but if they go away this year I will miss them too.

his fat feet that I love!!

These big hands are so precious to me, I love holding these hands!

Our last day of vacation

The little dot in the sky is the space shuttle.

Unfortunately our time at the beach has come to an end. But on our last day Macie and Katelyn came up to see us and we had lots of fun. We played and played and ate pizza of course. Something cool we got to see was the space shuttle riding piggyback on the 747 in was really neat.

Jaydens new trick

Jayden is becoming such a fish. He loves to swim and is not afraid of the water, he thinks he can just jump right in and will be able to swim. I used to make him wear swimmies for my nerves, just so I new it would buy me a little time if he decided on his own to go swimming, but now he doesn't like to wear and is trying out his skills. His new trick is to dunk his head under the water and blow out bubbles when he is under the water. He is so proud that he will put his head under the water, every time he does it he gets a big smile on his face and says, " head under water mommy!!" I love that he tries new things and that he shows an interest in learning things on his own. He is such fun to watch,he makes me so proud!! I love my little fish!!

No Tattoos!!!

When we went to the fire department the other day the gave the kids some goodie bags and inside them were some tattoos for the kids. Well Jayden found them and wanted Geoffrey to put the doggie one on him, I guess we should of explained it a little better because when he couldn't peel it off he went crazy!! He was so upset, everytime he looked at it he would start crying it was the cutest thing, all I could do was smile.
