Easter Eggs

OK, so I am way behind on blogging but thought you all would enjoy these photos of Easter and Jayde coloring easter eggs. You can see her getting messier and messier as she goes. She also got a bubble maker for Easter, see the pile of bubbles on my floor, very fun to clean up for mom.

Jordan's Birthday

Jordan turned 11 this year. Tom attempted making him a birthday cake, as you can see it turned out REALLY WELL - JK. Tom took him to go and see motocross at the monster truck rally. They both loved it. Then we went to the airplane museum. He is getting so big and turning into a teenager, already.

Jayde at the Park

Jayde just loves the park and the slide, as does every child. Here are some photos of her (and her father) playing at the park. Very nice weather here and look at those curls!

Girls Trip to San Fransisco

Last weekend I went with some girlfriends to San Fransisco. We got on the bus in Lehi at 8:30 p.m. and arrived in San Fransisco at 11 a.m. at the Golden Gate Bridge. Very long ride and very little sleep! Then the bus took us back to our hotel where we showered and got ready for the night.

That night we went to "Wicked" (a Broadway play about the Wizard of Oz and the Wicked Witch of the West and how she became wicked). It was awesome! The music and performing was spectacular. I would go and see it again.

The next day we went out to Alcatraz then shopped on Pier 39. We loaded the buses at 6:30 p.m. and arrived at our cars at 9 a.m. But I slept the entire trip! I was exhausted! Tons of fun, laughs, and shopping. Another good time with the girls.

More Jayde Phrases

The other day my parents were watching her and my mother was trying to get her out of her car seat and stuggling and Jayde said, "Grandma I don't know what your problem is, it is just so simple." What a stincker!

Big Jet Says - whoosh (that is what it sounds like over our house anyway)
Lightning (from Disney's Cars) says - kachow
Everytime we go shopping she says, "wana go shopping and see mama's vacum"

Jayde's Sentances & Words

Jayde just cracks us up! I thought I would share some words/phrases that she uses often:

• Sponge Bob is Square Bob
• She counts from 1-9 perfectly (most of the time) then 14, 20, cinco (out little girl is bilenguel)
• Are you sure?
• Thank you and you're welcome and please
• She calls Jordan Jo Jo and sometimes Do Do if she is excited
• She always talks about Big Jet (the planes that fly above our house or the planes at the museum)
• Helicopter is pronounced Helptcopter
• She has some shirts that are pock-a-doted and she calls them pockylots
• Every now and then she will call me Joanna and her father Tom (just like everyone else - stinker she knows what she is doing because she giggles with it)
• When she talks to the dog (Hope) or the cat (kitty) she has a very soft voice. The kid of voice you use when talking to little kids. She also calls Hope - Hopie.
• She knows many animals sounds and is very animated when saying them: snake, owl, cow, horse, sheep, frog, kitty, puppy, Hope (panting sound), fish (funny lip noise), alligator (teeth chomping), and many more that I cannot think of at this time.
• She is also quite the bouncer - has been ever since a baby. We bounce like a frog up and down the stairs all the time, with the noises.
• She talks in sentences, which has been so good for communicating with her. The other day at church a little boy gave her a truck and she patted him on the head and said "thank you so very much, that was so nice of you." No kidding!
• When we say ouch she asks "are you ok".
• In the store last night she accidentally ran into someone and she said "oh, sorry".
• Also in the store last night a lady was not watching where she was pushing her stroller and was heading right for Jayde and she yelled out "watch out" to the lady. We all laughed.

Hopefully this gives you a few laughs like it does us every second of the day.
