Happy Father's Day!!!

Happy Father's day to my dad and all the other dad's out there!!!
So my mom had this cute idea for Father's Day cards for primary. She has been working on them all week. She made a shirt out of construction paper and then cut out ties and pocket squares from different patterns of scrapbook paper. This is how cute they turned out. This is one Jayden actually made for Grandpa.
Well of course just a shirt isn't enough. Jayden said it needed pants and shoes. So my mom cut and made some pants and shoes to go with the shirt. She also drew on pockets, a belt, and the zipper/fly. Here is Jayden holding his card for Grandpa. It actually turned out really cute.
Saturday morning my mom came down stairs to find Jayden coloring in the zipper/fly. Needless to say it really didn't look quite right anymore. This picture doesn't do it justice. It was so funny.
Cory and Many came out with their new addition, Parley. She is a cute springer spaniel. I guess she isn't that new they have had her a few months now. Here is Jayden and Ammon playing with her.
Parker's favorite thing in this world is balls. He likes to play catch, throw them in the basketball hoop, and bounce them off walls. I was trying to just take a picture of him holding the ball up but he decided to throw it. Well, if you ask me I think this picture turned out quite cute.

My own OMG! did he just say that moment.

Just a little story about Jayden that corisponds with my previous post.
Sarah was mailing some letters to Bryan for Fathers Day. Jayden wanted to put them in the mailbox but he was worried the mailman wasn't going to come tomorrow. So I told him we could take them to the BIG mailbox at the post office. That way we know the mailman will get them for sure. After we dropped them off I decided to take Jayden to get a slurpee. Kiera and Jayden time, plus I was craving a coke slurpee. As we were driving down the road Jayden wanted his window down. So I rolled it down for him. He was loving it. He said he liked all the wind blowing in his face. He had been quiet for a few seconds and then he blurted out "Wow, your jeep is going fast!" I said "Yes, my jeep is fast. Only we aren't going really fast it just looks like it because everyone else is going slow." (Yes they were going slow I was going the speed limit of 50). Just as I said this the car we were passing sped up and I said "Well, looks like this person decided we can't go faster than them." I am not sure what he was doing in the back seat but the car pulled up next to us and I glanced over. The girl in the passenger seat and the other person in the back seat were waiving at him and laughing hysterically. Jayden then proceeded to yell out the window that they need to slow down or they will get pulled over or in a wreck. I started laughing so hard I almost couldn't drive. We stopped at the stop light to turn right and they were going straight and Jayden was still "scolding" them for going to fast. He is into the "why?" phase so he proceeded to ask why were they going so fast. I didn't have an answer. Luckily they had their windows rolled up and so they didn't hear him. Only I wish they would have. It would have made the whole situation that much more funnier.
So by now we have pulled into the 7-Eleven parking lot. Let me say first, if you know Jayden you know he is not shy and he is anything but quiet. We are walking into the store and he looks up at this girl and says "Wow, you have really sharp teeth!" I turned to look at her and she had two lip piercings that are hoops with little beads on top that make her look like she has fangs. Luckily she just laughed and said "I love it." She seemed to be quite flattered he thought she had sharp teeth.
My mom told a story about something he said to a lady at the store yesterday. She apparently had red, white, and blue hair. He looks up at her and says "Wow, your hair is beautiful. It is so colorful." So at least it was a complement. He loved her hair.
I love my nephews and Jayden is getting too smart for his own good. The way his little mind works baffles me.

OMG! Moments

I stumbled upon this article on aol.com "Parents' Most Embarrassing moments" today and thought I would share some of the stories with everyone. There are several stories but here are my favorites. Just thought all you mom's and dad's out their would enjoy a good giggle. Heck, I am sure a lot of you have probably experienced similar stories. This first one made me about fall out of my chair.
“We were at the golf course where Daddy was playing a round. I took my eyes off my son, 3, for a minute to scan the course. When I looked back, he had dropped his shorts and was peeing into the little golf ball cup in the middle of a green! Perfect aim, of course. I grabbed his sisters, loaded them up in the cart, started to back away and he came running. We pulled out of there so fast! I'm sure whoever was up next to golf that hole had an interesting round!”
“We have a new baby on the way, and I was explaining to our 2½-year-old son that babies don't eat food like us, they drink milk from mama. One day at day care, as his provider knelt down to give him his goodbye hugs and kiss, instead of hugging he yanked the top of her shirt down, grabbed her boob, and said, "Baby milk?" All before I could even react! I was absolutely MORTIFIED! I could feel my face turning bright red as I tried to tactfully release his death grip on her shirt.”
“We were on line at Costco, waiting forever to get checked out when my 3-year-old daughter (with horror in her eyes) shouted, "MOM, look at that scary man!" So I turn around…and it was an extremely unattractive LADY! I didn't know where to go, because I was surrounded by people and it's not easy moving around once you are on line. Meanwhile, my daughter didn't stop -- "MOMMY, it's not Halloween, why is that man so scary!?" The woman was shocked. I finally shut my daughter up by opening an unpaid-for bag of chips, which she started munching on.”
“When my oldest son (now 12) was 3 years old, we were at the mall at one of those little toddler play areas. There was a Muslim woman there too, watching her daughter play. She was wearing a head covering and a long dress, and she had olive-colored skin. My son pointed right at her and said very excitedly, "Mommy!! Is that Jesus?!"”
And in honor of Father’s Day this Sunday…
“I was at Walmart with my toddler son, and this old lady started talking to him. He told her that, "My Daddy has a big wee wee and I have a small one, but one day it will get big like my Daddy's." I thought the old lady was going to have a heart attack; I know I wanted to have one!”
This is something my nephew Jayden would do…
“When my son was about 2½ years old, he and I were at a store. We approached the check-out counter when my son told me he had to go to the restroom. He said this in plain earshot of the clerk, who informed me that there was no public restroom. My son, being the headstrong individual that he's always been, marched right out the door and right up to the post at the front of the building. With out missing a beat, he unzipped his pants and proceeded to relieve himself right there on the sidewalk. I could have crawled in a hole from sheer embarrassment!”
Hope you all enjoyed these stories. They sure made me laugh. Here is the link if you would like to read more. http://www.parentdish.com/2009/06/17/parents-most-embarrassing-moments/?icid=mainmaindl5link3http%3A%2F%2Fwww.parentdish.com%2F2009%2F06%2F17%2Fparents-most-embarrassing-moments%2F
