Turkey makes him tired

Jade, Shaking his groove thing..

Jaden was playing the Wii today, Just Dance by Micheal Jackson.. My brother in law captured it on his I phone... He is so sticking cute, unders and all... :)

Funny..

After pulling an all nighter, and getting up to a massive headache, I was not looking forward to today... BUT... I was sitting in the chair rocking my nephew and Jade was on the bed, he pulled the sheets up around his head so only his face was visible and says to me, "Mommy, do I look like Jesus?" Oh that kid seriously makes me laugh... I proceeded to tell him that yes, he did deed look like Jesus... Laughter, I tell ya the best medicine out there.. :) Still laughing at that kiddo... :)

My Jadey Bug...

I can hardly believe that my "baby" is turning four today... (sniff sniff) He is such a little character, but he brings so much fun and laughter to our family... My faves about my little guy...

J is for... Jokster... Always making one of us laugh... Today he told me that he killed General Grievous (Star Wars) and that he was dead because his heart was broken.. Love that no matter what and no matter when he can make me laugh.. :)
A is for... Animated... This kid is like the energizer bunny, just keeps going and going... :) Love all his energy..
D is for... Dazzling... He is such a cute kid, melts my heart... :)
E is for... Entertaining... Never a dull moment with this kiddo... From his funny little sayings, his magic belly rolls, to his cute little eye rolls, he is always making us laugh..
N is for... Nimble... This kid amazes me with his intelligence level... I have no idea how he got so dang smart (I am sure from his Daddy)... :) Love it...

Happy Birthday little guy... I love this kid so much, he just makes our family complete.. :)

A little boy...

And his dog, (OK well not really his dog, but his grandmas dog) is one of the cutest pictures I have taken lately... I have never EVER seen one of my kids take to a pet of any kind.. Couldn't be because their mom or dad have never even given the idea of having a pet a second thought, wink!!! But when my mom got her dog, Littlefoot, Jade was just a baby... So he has grown up around her... This kid loves this dog more than anything... He will let her lick him, (he calls it kisses,) he shares his food with her (yes even his suckers) and he even tries to hold her like a baby.... She has never bitten him, and secretly I think she loves all the Jaden attention... Littlefoot will probably, OK not probably, for sure be the closest thing my kids will ever have to a pet... :) I know I am such a meanie mom... I told them when they are living on their own, they may have ALL the pets they want, as for now unless it's stuffed (as in stuffed animal) it's not coming to our house... But this picture does make my heart skip a tiny beat... :)

Lil Bruiser...

It seems that no matter how much I tell the boys not to "play wrestle" (if there is such a thing,) they refuse to listen... Last week after I had left to take Court to school, they went about their play wrestling... When I pulled in, Cole was waiting at the end of the driveway, telling me "Mom, it's bad.." As I went inside, I found Stockton with Jaden holding an ice pack on his eye... When I asked Jade what happened he told me, "Me and Tole (Cole) were wrestling, and Stockty said STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP and we didn't and Tole head hit my face, and gave me a black eye.." The joys of having boys... This is not his first black eye and I am sure it won't be his last... :)

Day one...

Day four...
