And so the drama begins....

Yesterday afternoon Jayden got in trouble by Jarrad because he was bugging Talan right after he woke up from his nap. Anyone that knows Talan also knows he is quite the crab when he wakes up and Jayden feeds on bugging him. Anyway, after he was yelled at by Jarrad, I noticed that Jayden was gone and that there was a note left on my computer desk.

The note said, Good-bye mom and dad. I am going to my room and never coming out. Don't cry. I love you.

I thought it was cute and funny and Jarrad was impressed that he wrote that all down. Then I thought, Oh no, I thought I didn't have to deal with drama since I only have boys, I guess I was wrong. However, a few minutes later Jayden was downstairs playing and acting like nothing ever happened. I was relieved in knowing that atleast if I have to deal with some drama, it only lasts a few minutes! I will be keeping the note until he is 16 when I can then show it to his dates.

Pacers game with Mom

I'm glad I brought baby wipes, they were a sticky mess!

Jayden's cute smile

Last week a few Pacer players came to Jayden's school and read to all the first graders. Jayden was pretty excited and he brought home a couple of posters and goodies that the players gave to the kids. Then the next day, Jayden came home from school really excited because he said he got tickets to a Pacers game. I thought he was making it up, until I looked in his bag and saw the two tickets.

Since Jarrad had already taken Jayden to a Pacers game before, it was my turn to take him. I shouldn't mention that when Jarrad took him he had box seats from FedEx and my turn was in the nosebleed section. :) We ended up going with our next door neighbors Michael and Austin since they got the free tickets too. The boys loved getting to go together and had a great time. Although, I think they had more fun eating cotton candy and watching Boomer than actually watching the basketball game and quite frankly I agree, watching NBA games is like watching a glorified game of "horse". In the end, it was a great time for the boys and I loved getting to spend some one-on-one time with Jayden. The Pacers actually won too! It was a fun night!

Fixing the stangs

Jayden is working really hard at something. :)

T actually trying to get a screw out

This past Saturday we finally had decent weather, so we were outside most of the day. Jarrad spent the morning washing both of our cars, which then led to him putting his summer tires back on his Mustang. The boys loved every minute of it and then they decided that their Mustangs needed some work like daddy's car, so they stole Jarrad's jack and went to work. It was super cute. All my boys are complete "gear heads" and could spend every waking minute talking or playing with cars. They've definitely inherited the Asay car gene.

Fire station Fun!

Talan having a blast

Talan's preschool class

Ky not sure what to do

Hugging the fire fighter


Last Tuesday, Talan had a field trip to the fire station. I usually don't go to all of his field trips since it's during Ky's nap time, but I knew Kylen would enjoy this as much as Talan so I volunteered to drive. They got a tour of the station along with getting a chance to sit in the fire truck which they both loved ofcourse. The fire fighters did a wonderful job with the kids and one of them put on the full gear and asked the kids to give him a hug, so they would know not to be afraid of them if there was ever a fire in their house. Talan had no problem doing this, Ky however thought no chance in hadies! All in all, it was a short and fun, my kind of field trip!

Kylen's first haircut

Daddy cutting away

The before

Saturday night Jarrad and I finally broke down and cut Ky's hair. As many of you know, my kids take forever to get any hair. Jayden was bald until a year old, we finally cut his hair at 18 months just b/c we felt 18 months was long enough without having a haircut. Ky on the other hand, is going to be our last child so it was so much harder for me to want to cut his hair. I'll admit it was getting too long and starting to look like a mullet, but it had some curls on the end of it and I loved to play with it. Not to mention, once that baby hair is cut off they're not so baby looking anymore. Anyway, at 19 months old we finally cut it and it looks adorable. I do miss the little curls, but I know I can't keep him from growing up no matter how hard I try. He loved getting his hair cut and got really mad when it was Jayden and Talans turn.

Mom's night for preschool

As you can tell Talan has had an eventful couple of months with his birthday and preschool activities. Last Thursday, it was my turn to get to spend some fun time with Talan. The theme was Chinese New Year and let me tell you they did a wonderful job decorating everything. We got to play lots of games including a relay race where the kids had to transport cottonballs with chopsticks. Talan's favorite part was laying down on paper and having me trace him and then he got to color himself in. After all the games, we got our own personal chopsticks and ate lo mein noodles. It was a really good time and I loved getting to have one-on-one time with Talan. He's such a fun kid!

Pinewood Derby Dad's night

Here a picture with all the kids that go to our church

Talan's preschool has a Dad's night every year where they make Pinewood derby cars and then bring them to Dad's night and then race them. Jarrad and Talan of course made a Mustang and Talan loved every minute of it and so did Jarrad. These types of activities are what Jarrad lives for. He loves making the cars with the boys and seeing how excited they are when they are finished. All in all, it turned out to be a great night from what I hear and Talan's car was pretty fast.

Talan turns 4!

I know I mentioned in my previous post that Talan turned 4 on the 8th, but I wanted to add some pictures from his party, or should I say parties. He had a small one with my parents, then a big one with Jarrad's family and then on his actually birthday he opened presents from us. Talan basically had a birthday week. Jarrad decorated his cake as usual, and this year he did the King from the movie Cars. We buy a half sheet of cake from Walmart and then Jarrad works his magic, he did a great job on it I think!
