Truth Be Told!!!

Jaxon.
Frustrating, adorable, helpful, smart,
HONEST!

(before school)

MOM: Jaxon please don't forget to turn in the Vocabulary test today that you accidentally brought home before it was graded on Friday....
JAXON: Okay Mom
(this phrase repeated roughly 5 times before dropping him off at school)

(after school)
MOM: Jaxon did you remember to turn in the vocabulary test you brought home on accident?
JAXON: ummmm
MOM: I reminded you like 20 times this morning how did you forget?
JAXON: Because when you talk and talk and talk and tell me things over and over I just don't listen because it is boring........

Mothers Day!!!

What a wonderful Mothers Day weekend! My boys treated me right! I got breakfast in bed and the most beautiful cards, notes and prizes handmade by my little guys! They really did treat me right!

To add to the weekend I got to spend a couple of hours with my friend and her new little one! She is just adorable and my friend is an amazing mom! What a great Mothers Day weekend.

Ma-cheeze-gun!

Sitting and having a snack of cheese and crackers this afternoon with Zeke. Zeke (being the boy he is) chewed his slice of cheese into a shape of a gun! I got up and did something else at the sink. He pointed it at me and said, "you like my ma-cheeze-gun mom?" Well of course I said, "really cool Zeke!"

Then he said, "Put yous hands up owd wady!"



Why do I need to be reminded of how old I am from a 3 year old? But I wouldn't miss it for the world! :)

Sometimes there are good times!

Just so sweet!

Busy, Busy Busy!!

What can I say? We have been busy.
Between Jaxon and Kaden with Baseball and Kaden
with Soccer we are gone every night!
It is pretty fun though watching the boys in their element!
I tried to get Kaden and how he was dancing around in the field.
He likes to watch his shadow and see how cool he looks!
So cute!
He is loving playing catcher. He likes to play catcher and third base.
However, I think he mostly tries to play those positions to
be like his dad! His dad liked to play third base too.
Gregg also says he would have loved to play catcher
but never did! (he won't tell me why because I am
going to put it on the blog....probably a less than
manly reason why!? I don't know!)
Anyway, as long as the weather holds out I am all on board for baseball
the pouring snow was NOT my fav!
Go Angels!

Were gonna be rich!!

So I found this little beauty lying around the house the other day....
can you read what it says? Yes, you can see it correctly.
We have in fact a signed Mickey Mantel AND Babe Ruth
Baseball....THE SAME BASEBALL.
Yes, this and the fact Jaxon pointed out to me
that he has a Mickey Mantel Baseball card as well!
Can you believe it. We are going to have to put these little beauts' away
for safe keeping!
Call it the boys college fund!
I am sorry, but I just had to giggle at this one!!

Cake try #2

So going with Kaden's Star Wars theme I attempted to master the Death Star for his cake....

(note to self....do not attempt to create something you have no idea what it looks like
for it will NOT fool 7 year olds)
I know seriously how hard can a round ball type thing with a laser coming out of it be?
Well apparently pretty difficult! So bad infact I hurried to cut up the cake
and did not even take pictures....Darn!
So instead Matt (Gregg's brother-in -law) requested this little number.
Matt along with the entire Petersen family are enamored with fast cars!
Naturally he requested a race car cake. Gregg was in charge of the purchase
of the frosting (since part of the horrible mess-up with the 'death star'
was the frosting) Therefore I take no responsibility with the Christmas looking
color scheme we have going on!
Anyway, Kaden thought it was cool. I was much more pleased
with it than the tragic Death Star.....
Happy Birthday again March birthdays at the Petersen's!!!
