Father's Day

We had a good Father's day! Actually it was a great weekend. On Sunday we swam, went to Target, and then to visit John's dad.
Even though we had a great weekend, the boys do have hand/foot/mouth disease. I hate that it's called a "disease" since I'm such a freak about stuff like this anyway. But they got it from Harlee Kate, and we were unable to go to church at all on Sunday. I guess it's been the best kind of sick because they've been able to swim and play like nothing is wrong. They don't have much of a rash at all anyway. Just a few red dots and a couple of blisters.

Since our friend Troy has been back home, we are always cooking some fun stuff. He came over Friday night, and we (he) made fried tacos. Saturday we swam and had grilled chicken, twice baked potatoes, and sausage/cheese plate. My parents came and ate with us on Saturday night. It was really yummy! On Sunday, we went to John's dad's house in Batesville. Jax always has fun playing with his cousins (Alexa, Elle) ... who hopefully has already had hand/foot/mouth.
Jax and I made some chocolate pudding Popsicles on Thursday night. I used to do this with my sister and my mom when we were young! We'd make coke, kool-aid, tang, and juice popsicles . . . using anything we could come up with to freeze. It was messier than I remembered, but still fun. I think it's pretty neat that we've managed to keep the same old popsicle Tupperware set for so long.



Jax got to go through his first car wash on Sunday! I wondered if he'd be like me .... Mom used to let me out of the car to stand by myself while she went through the car wash. I was terrified of them... But Jax on the other hand, said "MORE" when we pulled out of the car wash. This one is a little more fun though . . . it's one of those where you put your car in neutral and it pulls you all the way through.

Moses the Pumpkin

For a school pumpkin parade project, Jax has to come up with a character from a book that he enjoys reading. Then we had to decorate the pumpkin like that character. I made a couple of suggestions (Pete the Cat, Captain Flynn and the Pirate Dinosaurs), which Jax immediately shot down. He picked a book from our bookcase about ghosts of Mississippi which I immediately shot  down. I told him that he must pick a book that he actually reads. About 30 minutes later, Jax walked into the kitchen announced his new selection: "I have picked The Bible, and I want my pumpkin to be Jesus." Well, how do you argue with that request?? However, I could not imagine how in the world we could accomplish such a thing. John and Jax took off to Walmart to look for some Jesus hair. Unfortunately, Walmart was all out of potential Jesus hair. So we asked Jax if there was another character from his Bible that he would like to use. He chose Moses. Thank goodness Jax has a creative and artistic daddy! Th...

Banana Bedhead....

I'm sure that Paul Mitchell would be very interested in this new hairstyle that Jax modeled last night. I've known for quite some time that Jax is pretty smart. Now I think that it's obvious that he will also be very fashion savvy. After eating his entire bowl of Spaghetti-o ravioli, I cut up some bananas for him to eat. By the way, we've mastered this new way of eating...2 forks!! While he's feeding himself with one, I'm getting the other fork loaded up with the next bite. He would get a little stingy and refuse (okay, throw a fit) to hand back the fork. So problem solved = 2 forks!! Anyway, he gets pretty sticky when eating bananas because they obviously don't slide on the fork too well. So he uses his fingers. Naturally, the perfect place to wipe your hands when you don't have a shirt is in your hair. Plus fruit is good for you, so it must be good for your hair. Although he didn't exactly say it, I know that he was thinking of calling this very t...

Jax's 3 1/2 year old birthday party

Image
Yes, we love half birthdays! When you have a birthday too close to Christmas, it is so fun to celebrate a half birthday in the summer. Besides that, Lisa died the day before his birthday. Not an easy time for our family. My mom did this with me too...since I was a December baby..I sometimes had half birthday celebrations instead. Jax was very specific about his requests...he wanted a Rocky party...with Rocky and the Russian fighting on top of the cake. However, there was not enough room for both. Megan Lucius made the cake! I made the cookies...Lightning Bolt cookies..."When you eat lightning..." We had a poster printed up for a game...prizes were awarded based on which person caused the water balloon to break. It started storming in the middle of the party...all the kids came in for ice cream and cake. They watched Toy Story 2.(June 13, 2010)
