Jack Attack

Happy Birthday to my beautiful boy!

I can't believe that Jack is 5! I know those of you who have older kids 5 is nothing, but I'm kinda sad, because he is getting older so fast. I am sad for when he leaves me all day to start kindergarten. This is all new territory that I'm not sure I'm ready for, I know this next year I will be crossing a threshold, which I can't come back from. Once school starts it's serious business. No more play dates, or deciding what to do for the day on a whim, homework here we come!

Anyways, getting off track here: I just wanted to list my 5 favorite things about my boy (which will be hard to narrow down)!

1. Funny: This kid is not lacking in the personality department. If you need an example ask me about the Dr's appt on Monday. Or about what he said about a BEAUTIFUL girl in preschool.

2. Smart: He loves to learn and surprises me with new things all the time.

3. Sweet: He is a sensitive boy and senses when others need a pick me up, which is rare for a kid his age (I think) and for a boy:)

4. Outgoing: He will usually talk to anyone, anytime and always makes friends where ever he goes. If there is a new kid at preschool he will tell me all about them the first day.

5. Helpful: Which is great! He will always (and with minimal complaining) help me clean up, make is bed, wrap presents, cook, anything.

Morning Routine

Here is my little man with his "winkie" (drink ie: Milk) and "watch Emmo" Elmo. Every morning my little buddy wakes up WITHOUT FAIL at 6:45 to watch him some Elmo and snuggle with mom. Yes, I lay there next to him and try to sleep a little bit longer, but Reid is a conversationalist and wants to talk about all the characters on Sesame Street and what they're doing. Which one is being "Silly Momma" or "Funny Momma" or "Cool Momma". I love that he talks so much and he has the best manners. "Thank you Momma" and he even says "Welcome Momma" after I tell him thank you. I also love how every phrase with him ends with my name "Momma". I have even convinced him that I am cool and when I'm getting ready for the day he says "Your cool Momma" or "Pretty Momma". How great is that!! I hope it never fades. I have Jack convinced too, I love that they still think Brad and I are the most funny or the coolest people they know.

HURRY!

This is definitely blog worthy and should be acted upon immediately! One of my sister in laws forwarded this to me and there is such a"buzz "that I thought I would put it
up here so I could share it with everyone.
I think we all should get one for summer, especially because their motto is so great: "Swimwear that highlights the face instead of the body".
Honestly, who wants people looking at our bodies, we already have to put on the swimsuit. I like it because I will have just had Lucy by swimsuit season. Let me know what all of you think. Maybe we could have a party or something. ;)

I know, I know I am horrible.

Waaanted

There are many words for why we named our chick band Wa3nted... 1. We Want to be in a band. 2. We Know others Want it. 3. we Want you to Want it. Need I say more. We rocked it last night and to tell you the truth the video and pictures do not even do it justice. The playing started off a little rough, but once we got the hang of it we were rockin' . The middle was a little rough too, so was the end... ANYWAYS that doesn't matter. No really, not to brag about us or anything but we were aWesome.

Jen, Su and Bubbles (Rachel).
Su on drums, Julie on vocals, Debbie on guitar, Jen and Chessa rocking it.
Honestly, you could switch us up, trade places, we are multi-talented.
I'll finish off with GT's ladies, GT's.
(except for the fact I pulled in my garage at...1:20 AM!)

Moonlight

I had to add this before I forget, I really love reading and especially the Stephanie Meyer books, Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse. So I came upon this show a couple of months ago and it has totally fed my obsession and sadness over the fact that I am done reading the books. So watch it, it is good and he's hot.

Happy New Year

Okay, I don't know what it is lately, I have not been busting out the camera like I should be, especially given that I got a new 12 Mega pixel camera for Christmas with only like 5 pictures on it, so sad.

Anyway, I thought it time to update. Last night we went to The Billings amazing house and rang in the new year with some great friends... I have one picture which I (of course) did not take. Chessa and I are peeking in the background, behind Debbie, Su, Rachel and Julie. I even copied and pasted from Julie's page. Pathetic.
SO maybe my new years resolution should be update more often and take more freaking pictures.

Anyways we had a really good time and I even got a new years kiss from Uncle Ricco (aka Brad, aka adult film star...does anyone have a picture of this?) Because Brad sadly to say shaved the mustache off today before I could get a picture of it, shocker!

Thanks Billing's for a fun night and yummy Italian Soda's!
