My Sweet Boy

Tonight we were all sitting down for a family dinner. A couple bites in Jacob says, "Oh Mommy we forgot to pray!" I leaned over and asked him if he wanted to say it. He said sure and here is how it went, "Thank you for my mommy who made this food. Amen!" How sweet is he?

We Finally find a good Park... and it rains!

We met up with Jen and Aedan and she took us to a really cool park. Too bad after about 10 minutes it started raining!

Great Idea Claire!

After I saw this on Claire's blog I just had to run to Target and get some Easter eggs, baskets, bunny-mallows, and stickers. So yesterday after church, nap time, and running some errands I got the eggs ready. Since it was so pretty yesterday and our apartment was full of people I figured I'd let them run around outside. So while Josh kept them inside I basically dumped the eggs out on the grass to "hide" them. Some were a little more tricky than others. Once that was done I came back inside gave the boys their baskets and let them run out there. Jacob understood he was supposed to put as many in his basket as possible, Caden on the other hand just picked up the "balls" and threw them as hard as he could. Needless to say Jacob "won" the hunt with the most eggs, but finally Caden started putting them in his basket. They had so much fun and loved the bunny-mallows in the prize eggs. Thanks Claire for the great idea!

Jacob found the first stash




















Caden running to throw some more!














Look how full his basket is!

















These were the tricky ones, I ended up having to point them out.

Relaxing...

A lot of the time my boys are fighting with each other over one thing or another. Sometimes though they are so sweet to each other. Tonight was one of those nights. Jacob's tummy has been upset for quite some time now and so tonight all he could have was crackers and banana pops, Caden too. So while Jacob was whining for food I offered him a pop and he agreed to one, but told me that Caden-bug needed one too. So I got them both banana pops (with paper towels wrapped around the bottom) and then turned on their movie. I came back out into the living room and started cleaning. They were in their room laughing at each other and it sounded so sweet so I grabbed the camera and snuck up on them. They were both sitting in the Cars couch Dad got for Jacob eating their popsicles and watching their movie. I love these sweet moments between the two of them.

Jacob's Thoughts...

Today as I was putting Jacob's shoes on he looked up at me and said, "You are a good mommy, to infinity and beyond!" How sweet :)

From the Mind of Jacob...

The other day when I went to use the restroom of course Jacob followed me.  I can never have a minute alone in the bathroom.  He just stood there and asked, "Mommy does pee come out of your bottom?"  I knew where this was headed so I just agreed.  Then he said, "No that is not the right word, Mommy what is that word?"  He thought for a few minutes more and then I saw the lightbulb go off in his head.  "No I know the word... pee comes out of your badrino!"
