Are you the boss of me?

Every once in a while Easton asks me if I will still be the boss of him when he is a grown up. i of course say yes! I tolds him I will always be his mom so even when he is big, I will be the boss of him. When my parents came for a visit he asked me if they were still the boss of me (we disagree quite a bit on most things). I answered Easton's question with a NO, they are not, without realizing what he had stored in his little mind. He then preceedes to tell me that if they are not the boss of me now, I won't be the boss of him when he is a grown up. I scramble to think of something and tell him that my parents are not the boss of me because they don't go to my Church and we believe different things. Easton thinks about it for a minute and tells me that if I come to his house when he is big and try to tell him what to do he will throw me out! I wonder as I look down at this child (who is the spitting image of my husband) that I am staring down at a miniture me!! Oh the realization of this sent fear into every fiber of my being!! For the last month there has been no mention of who will be his boss when he is older, until this morning. Just about ten minutes ago as he was eating a snack and I was doing laundry, he suddenly asks if I still think I will be the boss of him when he is older. I have to admire his desire to be independent, but at the same time I fear it as well. So here we go again, another day of me trying to convience him that yes, " I will always be the boss of you!"

HO HO HO, MERRY NISSMAS!

When Cade was two we flew to Arizona for Christmas and to celebrate Davis' first birthday. Cade was so excited for Santa to come that he kept saying, "Santa says, ho ho ho MERRY NISSMAS!" So as we were getting off the airplane Jeremy asked Cade to tell him what Santa says. Cade (who was a very little guy) screamed "HO HO HO, MERRY NISSMAS!" They whole plane started cheering and clapping. Cade was so embarassed, but it was so cute. Why do they have to grow so fast?

Little Santa's

Every year we dress the boys in these Santa suits for Christmas. I know it seems a little silly but the kids love it! They have to sleep in them on Christmas Eve so they will be in their Santa suits for Christmas. It is fun when we go to Jeremy's work party and they have their picture taken with Santa. People will stop and look or say, "look at the little elves." This infuriates Jeremy and he tells them "THEY ARE NOT ELVES, THEY ARE SANTAS." If you know Jeremy it is so funny because few things ever bug him but this is one of them. The other thing is when you are in traffic and a car tries to cut in line. Nothing else can rattle him. Believe me, I try!!

Easton's 4 year old picture

This is Easton's four year old picture. he was very demanding at at the photographer's. They wanted him to sit on top of the suitcase, but he insited on opening the case and siting inside!

New Lockers for the boys

Jeremy just finished these lockers for the boys. He put them in the laundry room so hopefuly we will no longer trip over the backpack and shoes as we walk in the door. the true test will be Monday when they go back to school. At least it looks good now!!

Almost ready for the public

I am just about ready to launch this thing after working on this since Easter. I told you I was slow. If it were not for Emily's encouragement each Sunday, I might not be ready yet. I just don't know what I am doing. Jeremy is not much help. Here goes attempt number 6. I hope this works.

Halloween pictures

I guess I wouldn't be a very good mom if I didn't put up their Halloween pictures. I am not quite use to this blogging thing. Emily told me it is easy, but I don't agree yet. I have a hard time keeping up on everything else so this just adds one more thing. The boys were so proud of their costumes this year though. They were Ben 10. For those of you without boys, he is a guy who can turn into a bunch of diferent aliens. My boys think there is nothing cooler. My mom and I had to drive an hour and a half away to get the last two Ben 10 costumes in the Dalas metroplex. I sure hope one day they will appreciate it.

Davis has his turn too!

Although Dais does not turn six until Dec 24th, we celebrate with his friends early. This year his party was on Nov 1oth. It makes for a very stressful three and a half weeks around our house having three birthday parties in that amount of time but at least it is all over with before the holidays. This year Davis had a bowling party. Don't feel bad for Davis. he gets the best deal in the family. Not only does he get a friend party around the same time the other boys do, he also has his real birthday celebration with us on Christmas Eve. He gets two cakes and two parties. he loves having his birthday this way. Mom loves it because the birthday child always chooses thier dinner and Davis always chooses pizza, or chicken nuggets. it is a great Christmas Eve tradition!!
