living the life: Happy Birthday Jaida!

Today Jaida turned 8, E.I.G.H.T. I still can't believe this!

The day started off with a big 8 pancake!

Opening one present before school.

Showing off her shirt and shoes. OoOoOoOooh!

After school instead of taking the bus I got the kids ready and went to pick her up, I brought her scooter so she could ride home on this beautiful sunny day! I took some pictures of her for fun...

Logan was practicing his smile right behind Jaida so I had to get a shot of him too!

The 8 shirt.

Russ came home early and we headed off to OuT oF tHiS WorLD for some fun!

Logan rode these scooters for most of the time, he was so funny to watch, he kept bumping into other kids and saying "crash." Big grin the whole time!

I got in on the fun, Logan trying to crash into me.

Slides!

Rock walls!

We came home for some cake and ice cream. Jaida picked this hamburger cake from my idea file. My friend Laura made one for her daughters birthday, I thought it was awesome so I saved the picture. Thanks Jami, for the fondant cheese.

Happy Birthday Jaida! We love you so much!

Stats: Jaida is 4', 4 1/4" tall today.

Jaida Funnies

Miss Gail: I'm going to the dentist, so they can clean my teeth.
Jaida: Don't you have a toothbrush?! 3 yrs old

Mom: How are you feeling?
Jaida: Ummmm, a little bit of not good.

"Should we do my book so I don't forget how to be smart for first grade?"

"Run like a BiRd!"

Playing the Wii, "Mom! I'm in twoth (tooth) place!!"

After being sick for a couple days with a fever said, "I can't believe I got better in a couple days, that was EASY!"

Right Here Right Now, from HSM3 playing in the background..."I just LOVE this song, it's so romaaaaantic!"

Sitting at the dinner table, Logan has his finger in his nose:
Jaida: "Bubba already knows how to pick his nose!?"
Jenna: "Yeah, I taught him how to."

Jenna Funnies

"Oh, thank you my Mommy!" 2 yrs old

"I'm-A-You-Ya!" for Hallelujah

She dropped a hot tamale , Russ asked her to wipe it off before eating it, she bent over and wiped it on the driveway. 2 yrs old

Mom: It’s Snoopy
Jenna: Sniffy?

Leaving the church parking lot:
Mom: She wants to come in.
Dad: I want to go out.
Jenna: I want a DONUT!

"Awfuls" aka Waffles

"I CaN't spell B.Y.U.!"

Hangaber = Hamburger

Falling backwards onto her bed (instead of TiMbEr!) she says...TiM DowN!

Mom: (Eating a chocolate covered strawberry)
Jenna: "I got one for you right here!"
Mom: "Oh, sorry, I didn't see that."
Jenna: "Are you blonde?!" (She meant to say blind, cuz I always say that to her.)

Mom: "Don't tease your old Mom." :)
Jenna: "You're not OLD...you're NEW!"

Mom: "I'm making chicken soup"
Jenna: "I don't want chicken soup! I want ICE CREAM soup! Mmmm!"

Russ and I kissed.

Jenna: "I know what you just did! You got married!"

Dad is trying to pull into Krispy Kremes to get doughnuts.

Mom: No, No, NO.

Dad doesn't pull in.

Jenna whispers to Dad: "We can go drop Mom off and come back!"

"Daddy, I want a big Mustang, so it can hold all my dresses and make-up."

"Mom, when Bubba gets big I'm gonna marry him, I really am!" "And, kisses are gross!"

"Wow!! I finished my food fast and you didn't have to yell at me!"
