PEOPLE!!!!!!

We decided to have some fun family bonding time on Friday night by going to a party at a car dealership (of course...what could ever be more fun!?)  Jaden decided to rat me out whilst we were driving home from our family fun day at the car party.  Here's that story:
We pulled up to a red light and stopped.  We waited, and the light turned green(imagine that).  Jaden then said(at that exact second) "GREEN MEANS GO"...ok, funny...because he was literally yelling it.  He followed up that statement with "GREEN MEANS GO, PEOPLE".  I just about peed my pants.  We were laughing so hard we were nearly crying.  When he realized how funny we thought he was, he just kept repeating, "GREEN MEANS GO, PEOPLE!"..it eventually turned into "GREEN MEANS PEOPLE". 
All the while I'm sure Jacob was wondering where he learned to say such a statement in the first place!  As am I, Jacob, as am I!

God Bless America!!....(and the frogs...)

So.... my SIL/BFF tried to convince me to let her visit my new casa on Tuesday at 11:10 specifically.  I did, however, refuse her offer when I realized I had a two-year-old bear that day who needed a nap like nobody's business.  She then invited me to accompany her to the outlets the very next day!!  This was an offer I COULD NOT refuse!  She needed to get summer clothes for her little ladies, and I needed to get.....well.....nothing really(but I still did get stuff anyway!)  Jaden decided he needed to take a million American flags with us and carry them around the outlets.  I do believe all of the shoppers enjoyed his patriotism.  Except for maybe the time when he threw himself on the sidewalk to have a fit....but that's a different story!

Patriotism is never out of style....NEVER!

.....So.... what about the frogs???  You ask!?  Well... whilst at dinner at my lovely inlaws crib.  (this experience also involved my SIL/BFF) (We are basically ALWAYS getting into trouble together or making other people do strange stuff for us)  (She is also literally ALWAYS trying to get me to roll down my window in the car to ask the person next to us strange questions)....But, anyway...I think I got a little side-tracked...so back to the frogs.  We convinced Sarah's husband to try to catch the biggest frog in the pond.  When he failed to do so, he walked around the whole pond and tried to catch every single frog he saw!  Great effort!  He finally caught a prime frog...but alas- it jumped out of the bucket before Sarah and I had a look at the fella.  So, of course, we were extremely angry.  This is when my wonderful husband stepped in with yet another bucket!!!!!!!!  Just imagine the excitement in Sarah and my hearts when we realized we now had two grown men trying to catch the perfect frog just for us!  They walked around the pond once more and tried to bucket up each frog.  Jacob finally 'caught one'... it did however manage to escape when Jacob pulled the bucket up out of the water.  What is the moral of this story?????  I don't really know...but I can tell you one thing, I was the only one that day that was able to successfully catch a frog and have it not escape from me!  (nevermind that my frog was literally the size of a pencil eraser...nevermind that...nevermind)  The point is that I won!

Perfection!

Ohhhhhhh....Yeahhhhhh....I'm BACK!!!!

Please excuse my absence.  I have been a little preoccupied with packing/moving/unpacking/a two year old!  We moved May 19th...we are still unpacking boxes.  Oh, it. is. joyous!!!!!!!  Here are some new photos of us enjoying our new home!

This is Jaden throwing a fit because he missed his daddy!

This is my cute bipolar boy a second later laughing as we take pictures with my phone!

This is Perkins new favorite spot.  He loves laying in the shower.  Jaden also prefers to join me in the shower.  He feels the need to de-diaper himself to come in, hence, one morning I ended up cleaning his poop pile off my beautiful new hardwood floors.  Ahhhh...the joys of getting used to a new house!  Jaden has also been waking up during the night again.  I'm not sure if he wakes up and is scared because he is in a new place, or what...but it's getting really old!!! 

So...there's your update!
