July 2, 2009 by jennifer Me: Arwyn, what do you want for dinner?
Arwyn: I want a peanut butter samich! Ribbit! Mommy, do frogs eat food?
(Needless to say, she thinks she is a frog. Has been for about 2 weeks now.)

July 2, 2009 by jennifer Normally, Jeremiah works Monday thru Friday and isn’t able to take many adventures with us. But, this week, he only worked Monday thru Wednesday, which meant we got to plan a family adventure. Since I am not nearly brave enough to tackle the Kansas City Zoo with two kids alone, it was the perfect opportunity for us to all go. We had lots of fun and it wasn’t too terribly hot today, which made it tolerable for my big ole self. When we were leaving we asked them which animals were their favorites. Breckin said he loved all of the animals, even the birds. Arwyn’s favorite was the giraffe.

Me: Those are spiderman boxers Mommy bought for you. They are underwear.
Breckin: (confused look on his face) Are they for boxing?
Arwyn: Mommy, I want to “grow down” and change into a baby.

June 27, 2009 by jennifer Today was my 3D sonogram. Mr Judah decided to be really stubborn and only show us half of his face at once. He had his leg in front of his face most of the time, then he had his arm there, then the umbilical chord. Despite his best efforts we were able to get a few decent pics of his face. At one point he even covered his face with both hands. Stubborn little booger already! Breckin was really excited to see him and could even pick out his eyes, nose..etc. Here are a few pictures.
Giving us a dirty look. LOVE IT! He really looks like Breckin in this picture.
But…he looks a little like Arwyn here.
FEET!

June 16, 2009 by jennifer So, I haven’t posted in a long while and thankfully it has nothing to do with that enemy of mine called asthma and everything to do with me enjoying the summer with the kids. It has been so much fun but so so busy! This summer is Breckin’s last few months as a school-free kid, so I have decided to go on one adventure a week. A few weeks ago, we headed to Wonderscope. Last week, we went bowling as a family at Incredabowl. We have been going to the pool (when it isn’t raining!!) and having a lot of fun playing in the backyard with our sprinkler and our slip-n-slide. And to top the summer off, we planted our vegetable garden. I planted several cucumber plants and 29 tomato plants. Breckin planted 1 tomato plant and we have been out to measure it and check it out almost every day. This week, we are headed to lunch with Daddy and Kaleidoscope. Should be lots of fun! Here are a few pictures of our fun thus far.

Boz got a fresh new cut
Bowling!
Waiting, waiting, and WAITING for Arwyn’s ball to reach the pins. Whew!
Breckin’s tomato plant right after we planted it. It is much larger now.

Arwyn: Mommy, get my boat off of the floor and give it to me! (she was on the bed and didn’t want to get down)
Me: Arwyn, you need to ask Mommy nicely if you want help getting your boat.
Arwyn: (crosses her arms and huffs) I don’t need my boat. It can stay on the floor.

May 29, 2009 by jennifer Today, I feel like singing this song. I will explain after you listen to the song that I think could be my personal theme song.
So, I have a shoe issue. It isn’t a $300/pair issue or anything like that, but I do love myself a good pair of shoes. Thankfully, my husband understands and supports my love for Born shoes. When we were on a date a few weeks ago, I ran across these beauties and fell madly in love. Comfort, style and durability (they last for years!)…what more could a girl ask for. I couldn’t stop thinking about them and decided to save my money for them. Then Jeremiah said the most romantic thing he has said to me in a long time, “Jen, you can just get those shoes.” Wow, he really knows how to speak straight to my sole, um, I mean soul. Without further ado.

May 28, 2009 by jennifer Breckin’s last day as a preschooler.
Tuesday was Breckin’s last day of preschool. He will start kindergarten in the fall and I cannot help but have such conflicting feelings. I want him to stay my baby boy forever, but at the same time, I cannot wait to see who he grows up to be. I am excited and nervous for him all at the same time. Will he do well in kindergarten? Will he overcome his speech issues on his own or need help? Will he make lots of new friends? What type of friends will those be? Will he be the nerdy kid? Will he be bullied or make friends with everyone? When will girls stop having cooties? So much to think about. So much to pray about. I want him to grow and learn new things and at the same time, I want him to keep as much of his innocence as possible. I love that there are so many things I can protect him from now, while later, I will just have to prepare him for those things. Someday the tide will shift where his peers will be his strongest influence and I will most likely be a bit lame. Then I will be cool again, but he will love his wife more than me. I expect all of this but in the meantime, I am one of the coolest people in his world and I plan to savor every moment of that experience.
I was explaining the transition from preschool to kindergarten to Breckin the other day and he just looked at me and stated in a very matter-of-fact tone, “I’m growing up, Mommy!” My thought in response, “Could you stop that!?”
