Blah Blah Blah

Nothing really all that new and exciting going on here since Christmas. Same Ol Sh** different Day. Jadyn of course is changing every day. We were at Aunt Lisa's house last night and I made a statement like " I just can't believe how little girl Jadyn is looking now." Of course, Aunt Gert had to stay "Well, it's better than looking like a little boy right?" Well if you are gonna put it that way.......... LOL
Jadyn is turning in to a little mouthy booger butt.....lol It is of course still very funny at this age. When my two year old looks at me and says "BEAT YOUR BUTT MOMMY." How Can I not laugh?......... Her other favorite saying are:
Oh, Pickles (sometimes pickle juice)
Oh MY Goodness
Holy Moly
Cool
Neat
Don't Look at me
Perect

She says these about 300 times a day.....lol

Lastnight Jadyn ran to me and asked me to use the Potty. She wanted to use the "Mommy" potty. So, I went and put her on. She didn't pee or anything but she thought it was fun! Now today I can't get the little turkey to sit on the potty again. PLEASE tell me I won't be chaging poopy diapers on a THREE year old this summer. She better learn how to change herself.

Always busy busy busy

Of course we are busy all of the time. We went to my mom's house to make cookies the week before Christmas. Just Jadyn and me. Sue stayed home to watch the dogs and finish her last minute Christmas stuff. She is always behind at Christmas time.......lol. We made a ton of cookies. We still have a TON left...... My piggy brother and Dad have about cleaned my mom out of her cookies. We made :

M&M

Sugar

Cherry Walnut balls (like snowballs)

Chocolate with peanut butter chips

Ginger Bread Men

Snickerdoodles

Peanut butter blossoms (HersheyKiss)

Peanut Butter blossoms with mini reese's cups

Fudge

I might be missing some. I probably am....lol. Here is a collage I made of Jadyn making cookies at Mama's House....

Christmas Eve we went driving around to look at Christmas Lights. This is a tradition my mom started with us. Well, more like with me I think. My brother didnt participate..... We didn't go on Christmas Eve necessarily when I was a kid but it was around Christmas time. "Our" tradition is.... we go to Tim Horton's and get a Hot Cocoa while we drive around and look at lights. We usually go in our jammies too. This year we didn't put on out jammies first. So we came home and put on our matching family jammies and lounged for a little bit.

Christmas morning came and Jadey's little eyes opened around 8:30. I brought her to the living room and I thought her eyes might pop out of her head. She looked at me and whispered "Santa Claus come?". It was sooooooo cute. Of course, Santa left some things unwrapped so she got in to them right away. We then waited for Mama and Papa to come to open the rest. They got here at about 9 o'clock. So, it wasn't much of a wait. Jadyn didn't care anyway........ She gets tired of opening presents.....lol

Tonight we are going over to Aunt Lisa's for a New Years get together. Sue and I made some Buffalo wing dip to dip Tostito's in. Yummy!! Tomorrow we are driving to PA to have Christmas with my dad's side of the family. No wonder I can't wait until the Holidays are over.....lol

HO HO HO and Christmas Tree's

We got up Saturday morning and took Little Miss to go see the Jolly Ol' Fella! She was so excited when I told her where we were going. She hasn't "got it" yet that Santa leaves presents under the tree but she just LOVES him anyway. We went to Kelly's Country Store. He is the best looking Santa around. He looks so "real". Jadyn couldn't stand it. Every time the line moved even a little she would say "Mommy, Jadyn's turn?" . As we turned the bend in the line she could see Santa. She was trying to go through the ropes to go see him.... "JADYN'S TURN, JADYN"S TURN. However. it was not Jadyn's turn for another 45 minutes or so. She was so good in line. She played peek-a-boo with a kid about a year older than her. He just sat on his dad's lap and growled and gave Jadyn dirty looks....lmao. Jadyn didn't care.... she still played and laughed at him....lol She is such a personable little thing.

The long and dreaded wait:

Once we FINALLY got to Santa Jadyn went running up to him and lifted her arms up waiting for him to pick her up. It was so darn cute!!

Talking to Santa:On Sunday we went and got our tree. It really wasn't anything eventful. We just went to Menne' Nursery and picked one out. Jadun was sleeping so I carried her around while we found a tree. She was pretty excited to see a tree on top of the car when I got her out though....lol

Christmas Card and Gingerbread houses

Well, I finally had a chance to make our Christmas Card. Of course I look like a beached whale but the rest of my family is pretty damn cute :-) This is about the best I could come up with without it looking like I swallowed my family.

Yesterday I bought some kits to make some gingerbread houses. We got them put together lastnight and we are decorating them tonight. I cannot wait to see what the little Monkey comes up with. She is so artsy :-) I will add those pictures later :-) ______________________________________________________________

Here are our houses. We had so much fun. Every time Jadyn put a new piece of candy on her house she would yell " Wook Mommy, Wook Moma". She was so proud of herself. And Honestly, I think hers is MUCH MUCH more beautiful them Mine or Moma's. I would let her paint and decorate my house any day :-)

The Beginning:Jadyn eating the decorations Surprise Surprise....lol
The finished houses....... The Fronts:One Side:

The Backs:

My little future photographer

I think MAYBE Jadyn is following in my footsteps..... (hahaha). She is becoming quite the little photographer. She definately has her own sense of style. I LOVE it though. Here are some of her pictures from lastnight. I think she is doing GREAT!! ;-P

So, Do you think she has a future career???

My daytime household may drive me CRAZY!!!

If it isn't the dog harassing the cat then it is Jadyn. If it isn't Jadyn it is both of them. Jadyn and Tyson have some kind of tag team communication going on that I don't understand. I swear they just look at each other and they both get up and run full speed at one of the cats. Most of the time Jadyn is laying on or holding down one of the kitty's so Tyson can taunt the hell out of them. I am yelling at them constantly through out the day to leave the cats alone ( or whatever else they decide to terrorize.)

I am in the kitchen cleaning and putting away dishes. I am putting something away in one cupboard and Jadyn is tearing the pots and pans cupboard apart and putting yucky slimey dog toys inside the pots. I try to take them away and she screams at the top of her lungs that she is cooking. Some battles are better off left alone. However, that leaves me a gazillion unecessary pots and pans I have to wash.

Next thing I know..... Jadyn running through the house laughing like a mad woman with a squirt bottle squirting anything in her path. I finally pry that out of her hands and she spits on the floor. No reason she just has a spitting fascination these days. If I sew her pretty little lips closed.... don't be shocked!

Then, Boom.... a bucket of toys tossed all over my living room floor. Never mind that she has a play room and half of the kitchen full of toys. Now I have train tracks and everything else all over the living room. I pick those up and put them away...... she is downstairs terrorizing something in the bedroom.

Jadyn was always such a good kid, i mean she still is. She never climbed... never got in to things that weren't hers. She didn't pull the animals hair as a cute bubbly 10 month old. She was always just a real passive easy going kiddo. UNTIL NOW. She may make me go to the looney bin any day now.

Good thing I Love that Kid!!!

The First Haircut

Jadyn had her first haircut lastnight. ( Okay so it was a trim but it was still hard on Mommy!!). We took her to Aunt Lisa's house to have it cut. I don't think she would take to kindly to a stranger doing it so Thank God for Aunt Lisa's who can cut hair. I have a little curl from the end of her hair saved.

The First Cut:

The Last Cut: ( Can't you see the difference???.......lmao)

Jadyn doing Aunt Lisa's hair. ( Minus the scissors of course ;-P)
