GAIDDYN TRYING TO HELP LIKE HE ALWAYS DOES-GOTTA LOVE HIM!

OK WELL I AM A LITTLE SLOW ON THIS POST BUT 3 WEEKS AGO AFTER WE DID OUR REGULAR SATURDAY GROCERIES SHOPPING WE CAN HOME AND PUT THINGS AWAY, AND GAIDDYN LOVES TO HELP EVERY WEEK!
WELL ON THIS PARTICULAR SATURDAY WE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH A BABY BOTTLE BRUSH AND A TOILET BRUSH--I AM NOT SURE WHAT HE WAS THINKING BUT HE DESIDED TO HELP ME OUT AND HE UNPACKAGED THE BOTTLE BRUSH AND NO ONE WAS WATCHING HIM AS HE WENT TO THE BATH ROOM AND STARTED TO CLEAN THE TOILET WITH IT!!!!!!!!! MEAN WHILE AS I WENT TO PUT THE NEW TOILET BRUSH AWAY I DESCOVERED WHAT HE WAS DOING!--- I THEN JUST TOOK A DEEP BREATH AND OF COURSE THRU AWAY THE BRUSH AND WASHED OUR HANDS!
I WILL REMIND HIM OF THESE THINGS WHEN HE IS A DAD SOME DAY!

MY SISTER SUSAN CAME TO VISIT AFTER 22 YEARS OF NOT SEE EACH OTHER

SUSAN AND ME

MY BROTHER-N-LAW BILL AND SISTER SUSAN
AUNT SUSAN AND MIKENNY

ALL OF US AND SUSAN

JASTYNN AND AUNT SUSAN

MIKENNY AND AUNT SUSAN

WHO'S THE LOSER??
THEY MADE A BET

JESUS LOVES ME

LIKE I HAVE NOTED BEFORE, GAIDDYN HAS REALLY STARTED TO TALK ALOT. THIS MORNING HE HAD A TOY THAT HAD A LITTLE TUNE PLAYING AND HE SAID VERY PLAIN AND LOUD "JESUS LOVES ME"--I ALMOST CRIED!

MIKENNY SAID JESUS LOVES ME TOO!

ON THE OTHER HAND GAIDDYN ALSO WALKS AROUND SAYING I DON'T LIKE YOU!

EVERYDAY

WHO CRIED THE HARDEST?

OK EVERYONE HERE IS ANOTHER BLOG POSTING WITH OUT A PICTURE.

BUT IT IS A BIT ON THE SAD SIDE.

THE BOYS WERE PLAYING OUTSIDE ALOT THIS WEEKEND AND TERRY WAS IN AND OUT AND DOING SOME WORK AT THE TABLE

(WHICH IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE BACK DOOR -

- WHERE THE BOYS WERE PLAYING)

MY VAN WAS PARKED RIGHT OUT THE BACK DOOR --THEY KNOW THEY ARE NOT TO GET IN THERE AND PLAY BUT SOMETIMES THEY HAVE MEMORY LOSE OR SOMETHING--OH WAIT THEY ARE LITTLE BOYS THAT'S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANY WAYS AS I WALKED OUT IN TO THE KITCHEN (I HAD BEEN DOING SPRING CLEANING) TO THROW SOMETHING AWAY I HEARD A SCREAM-IT WAS GAIDDYN-HE GOT LOUDER AND RATHER QUICKLY--AS TERRY RUNS OUTSIDE TO SEE WHAT WAS THE MATTER--HE THEN YELLED FOR ME

(TERRY DOES GREAT DEALING WITH THINGS SO I WAS SURPRISED AND FREAKED OUT WHEN HE CALLED MY NAME)

AS I RAN TO THE DOOR --TERRY OPENED THE VAN DOOR AND JASTYNN FELL OUT OF THE VAN FACE FIRST ON TO THE ROCKS!

WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS MIKENNY SHUT THE DOOR FROM INSIDE AND HE ACCIDENTALLY CAUGHT 3 OF GAIDDYN'S FINGERS IN THE DOOR!

BUT THEN JASTYNN THEN LEANED ON THE LOCKS AND LOCKED THE DOOR SHUT

SO WHEN TERRY GOT OUT THERE HE COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR UNTIL HE REACHED INTO HIS POCKET AND CLICKED THE BUTTON TO UNLOCK--THEN IN A HURRY TO GET GAIDDYNS FINGERS RELEASED HE OPENED THE DOOR NOT REALIZING THAT BABY JASTYNN WOULD FALL OUT!

SO WE HAVE TWO LITTLE GUYS CRYING AND WITH MARKS ON THEM!

MEAN WHILE MIKENNY REALIZED WHAT HE HAD DONE AND STARTED TO CRY UNCONTROLLABLY --I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT HIM --I DIDN'T KNOW HIS FINGERS WERE IN THE DOOR!

HE EVEN TRIED TO HUGE GAIDDYN AND HE WOULD NOT LET HIM! HE SCREAMED EVEN MORE!

WELL WITH A LITTLE BIT OF CONSOLING OF MIKENNY AND ICE FOR GAIDDYN!

AND BATH TIME WE ALL SURVIVED THE ORDEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MIKENNY CRIED THE HARDEST! HE WAS SO SAD!

OK I FOUND A PIC FROM BACK IN THE DAY!

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT KNOW THIS!

ARYSSA ANN'S 9TH GRADE SCHOOL PICTURE

KIDS SLEEP IN THE CRAZIEST PLACES

MIKENNY WAS SLEEPING IN THE RECLINER AND WHEN I WENT TO CHECK ON HIM THIS IS WHAT I FOUND! I ABOUT DIED LAUGHING!

MIKENNY TURNED 5 TODAY

WELL MIKENNY TURNED 5 TODAY AND HE TOLD ME HE WOULD NOT BE 5 UNTIL HE BLEW OUT HIS CANDLES!

SO I SAID OK!

WHEN HE WAS ON THE PHONE THROUGH OUT THE DAY HE WOULD SAY I AM GOING TO BE 5 TODAY!

AND THEN AFTER WE DID HIS CANDLES HE CHANGED IT TO I AM 5 NOW!

AS HE HELD UP A FULL HAND OF FINGERS WITH PRIDE.

ALTHOUGH THE CAMERA WOULD NOT WORK (LOW BATTERIES) AND WE HAD TO RELIGHT THE CANDLES 4 TIMES JUST TO GET A PICTURE!

AND AS YOU CAN TELL IN THE PICTURE ARYSSA WAS IMPATIENT SO SHE BLEW THEM OUT FOR HIM IN THE PICTURE!

THATS OK HER BIRTHDAY IS COMING AND WELL I WILL HAVE TO LET HIM HELP HER IN FRONT OF HER FRIENDS

WELL IN THIS SLIDE SHOW WE ARE SHOWING THAT MIKENNY MADE HIS OWN BIRTHDAY CUPCAKES! HE PICKED OUT CHOCOLATE ON CHOCOLATE AND STRAWBERRY ON STRAWBERRY! WITH FALL PAPERS AND FALL SPRINKLES--HE STAYED UP LATE AND SATURDAY TO HELP ME MAKE THEM SO HE COULD TAKE SOME OF THEM TO SUNDAY SCHOOL!

THE CRAZY PART IS THAT WE WERE ABOUT A MILE FROM OUR HOUSE AND MIKENNY STARTED TO COUGH AND WELL HE GOT SICK OLL OVER HIM SELF.

SO WHAT WE DID WAS DAD AND HIM CAME HOME TO FEEL BETTER AND TO CHILL OUT WHILE THE REST OF US TOOK HIS CUPCAKES TO SUNDAY SCHOOL FOR HIM!

HE EVEN GOT A HOME MADE CARD FROM THEM!

NEXT ARE WHEN HE WAS EATING CAKE AND PRESENTS!
