9 Months
Wow, not only is Thanksgiving just 2 days away, Christmas is right around the corner, but my baby boy turn 9 months today!!! It's hard to believe it's been that long!! Not much is new w/him other then I think he's getting an ear infection :( He woke up this morning at 6A just screaming, and that's how most of the rest of our day went. 
As far as growth or acheivement goes, I don't know how big he's gotten because he doesn't go to the doctor till the end of this month. Along the lines of acheivement, he's done nothing! We call him our little rock because he's round and stationary....LOL He has no desire to do anything, and personally, I'm fine w/that. I'm going to enjoy not having another one to chase around as long as it lasts :)
If you enjoyed the photos, though we're not done messing w/them, you can send shouts out to my bro Wesley!! Doesn't he do a good job?!?!?!!

Road Rage
Okay, this is pretty sad and really makes me see what I need to work on in my life!!!! Here I am, coming from Bible study where we talked about how we need to personalize our "Christian duties" and not just use them as a check off list to make us feel good about ourselves, and this is what I do:
I'm on my way home, and I'm driving down a street w/5 lanes (2 going one way, one merging/turning lane, and another 2 going the other way). There was a truck waiting to turn onto the street, close to the size of a semi. I was all the way over in the 5th lane, no one was in front, behind or next to me. There was traffic coming, but nothing close up. This truck pulls all the way over ALL 5 LANES and RIGHT in front of me I slam on my brakes, almost hitting him, w/all 3 kids in the car!!!! I BLARE my horn, I'm just fuming bc there was no need for it. I pull up next to him, and he just gives me a "I don't care" smile and waves at me I'm STEAMING!! So, then, I get to thinking, maybe he needed to get on the highway bc we were almost to the highway, but he doesn't get on. So there was NO reason or need for him to pull in front of me!!! So, after I realize that, I pull in front of him because we're coming up on a light. I sat in front of him at the light, sat there while the light turned green, and went only when it turned yellow so that he'd have to sit through the light again. It is a fairly busy street, so I knew w/all the cars going around me that he'd never have a chance to get around me, and he didn't. Okay, I am ashamed for what I did , but people like that just ERK the heck out of me!!!!
I really need to do some praying and life changing!!!!!

Pampered Chef
We had our 5th party tonight, and I'm really liking it!!! It's a lot of fun, definitely doesn't feel like work. We're averaging 2 a month, though we don't have any for December yet. We do have one for January though.
I took the boys to the peds today. I took them last week, but even though they had been sick for THREE WEEKS, the ped said they would kick it on their own...GRRRRRR!!! I don't like to see taking my kids to the peds as a waist of money, but when the ped doesn't help us out (and I waited extra long JUST to make sure they weren't going to get over it themselves), it does seem like I just waisted $40. So, another week later, they're still sick, and we went in again. This time they gave me something for their sinus infection which I knew they had b/c I have it and my nephew that I watch had it. It didn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that them having the same symptoms equaled them having the same illness. Luckily, I didn't have to pay for the scripts b/c Meijer gives amoxicilin for free :)
Today was not a good day in the potty training world. Though, Friday was a GREAT day!! He only had 2 accidents, and he's even gone poopy in the potty which is what I hear is usually the hardest part. Today on the other hand, we were like a minute late every time. I think I gave up half way through the day and just said WHATEVER.
I've got almost all of my Christmas shopping done. I'd still like to do the day after Thanksgiving shopping w/my mom and sis, but that depends on what we do for Thanksgiving. It's the year for Thanksgiving w/the in-laws which means driving 6hrs to Indiana. I LOVE getting to see the family, but don't love dragging 2 little ones on a car ride that long. But, it all depends on Shaun's schedule as to what we're going. You'd think we'd know by now, but it's Meijer. They could change their mind the night b4 if they felt like it. The life of a wife to a Meijer Manager....LOL

YAY!!!!
Okay, so I really think you have to be a parent to appreciate this. I've been working w/J for a month or so now on potty training. I'm not pushing anything, but I'll put him on the potty in the mornings to get him used to things. Well, he's told us once and only once that he had to go pee, and actually did go pee in the potty. But, that's been the end of it for quite some time. Well, today, he was in front of me and started grunting. So, I immediately ran him to the bathroom, put him on the potty, and a few minutes later.....he went poopy in the potty!!!! YAY JADEN!!!!! Now, we'll see if it's another month or so b4 we have any more potty break throughs...lol.
couldn't resist
Okay, so I couldn't resist, I think this is great!! John sticks his foot in his mouth, and this is how our troops respond :) I know he apologized (even though at first he said he apologizes to no one!) so you know it's only b/c his boss said "hey jerk, get in gear, you're making us look bad!" LOL

Halloween
We started off @ my sister's church to trunk or treat. All you LCCers will just have to forgive me ((blushing)), we wanted to trick r treat together.
Jaden loves animals so to see a live duck was a real treat for him.
Jaden didn't really get the idea of walking to get candy, but he DID understand that he was getting food. I think he got almost everyone to give him sseconds...the little piggie...LOL
Then we went to my parents to walk her neighorhood some.
NO mommy...don't put me in the grass!!! Asher was tired and his eyes were watering, so he stayed back w/Grandma while the rest of us headed out. We didn't stay out too late b/c everyone was tired, and it was a school night. But, we all made out pretty good in the candy department, and they had a good time, so that's what matters :)
Zoo Boo
Well, the saturday b4 halloween my sis Bethany, my sis Melanie, my BIL, my 2 nephews, my boys and myself all went to the zoo boo in BC. Jaden really needed a nap, which I was hoping he would take on the way to the zoo, but he was stubborn and stayed awake. AND, it was like in the 30s and FREEZING, not the smartest idea we all had. Anyways, here are the pics from it. 
Jaden w/Mator from cars.
I didn't have Asher dressed warm enough (wasn't planning the temps dropping as badly as they did), so I threw Shaun's leather coat that was in the van on him. He's darth vader if you can't tell. We decided against he pumpkin and had him and Jaden cordinate.
Aunt Bethany came along for the ride and candy :P
Here's one of me w/the boys, Asher- one shoe on, one shoe off :)
See, I told you he was tired...LOL
