The Big 6

On Tuesday May 12th my little Jones turned 6. I still can't believe he his already 6! I don't think Jones could have waited any longer for it to happen. He had a countdown calendar and would talk about it everyday for the last month or two. The morning of his birthday he woke up around 7am which is not normal for him. As soon as he woke up he came and stopped me from doing laundry and woke Mark and Jaimin up so he could open his presents a.s.a.p. . He was so cute as soon as Jaimin walked in the room he said "here Jai you get to open this one". After he opened all his presents he went out and played with all of them. As you can tell by the picture above he wanted a space themed party.

This year for his birthday he decided he wanted to hike up to waterfall. We figured that Jaimin was old enough so we said okay. If was a fun hike it just took us a little bit longer than normal. The waterfall was a lot bigger than I had ever seen it before. The boys loved it.

As you can tell by this picture we did get a bit wet. We went closer to get a picture and the wind started to blow so the waterfall sprayed us all. Aftert getting wet Jones decided it was too cold to stay up there any longer so we had a quick snack and a drink and headed back down. All in all I think he had a great birthday. Now we are just counting down the days until his next birthday.

LOOK MOM I CAN DRIVE NOW!

So this year my grandma decided to buy a golf cart for her husband to drive around the farm with. Well as you can see by the videos and picture, the boys were very pleased with her new purchase. I decided to let Jones try to drive. Well he couldn't get enough of it all he wanted to do was drive it around the pasture. And ever since we left my grandmas all I have been hearing about was how he wants his own cart. I told him to start saving.

If you listen closely to the video with just the boys you can hear my mom panicking in the background. The funny thing is I had told Jones just to go a short distance to play a trick on the family. Well I guess my mom had just assured my nervous grandma that I was not going to let him drive it without an adult. I think my grandma got a bit more nervous after that.

Just a few pictures

easter eggs

Last week my sister decided to dump a few unwanted eggs into my garden. So I decided to get her back by dumping them in her front yard. Well a few days later after I had forgotten about it I came home to find my backyard covered in eggs. The boys were excited until they found out they were empty. Although they keep going out and finding a few random pieces of candy. All I have to say is watch out Sayla, payback sucks!

Here is Jaimin right after waking up this morning. He was so excited to wear his new shirt. He walked around the house singing "walk this way, talk this way." What a weirdo!

Here are a few pictures of Marks birthday. The boys decorated his cake. They also gave him a bird for his gift from them. Jaimin likes to make it kiss our toy bird. Also every year for his birthday we take a trip to the zoo. The boys had a lot of fun unfortunatley Jones spent most of the time in the wagon because he got his cast off 2 days ago and it is very sore.

So this is what I walk in the kitchen and see almost every day. For some reason Jaimin loves to cook eggs, the only thing is he refuses to eat them. Most of the time I will let him make them. I will put them in a dish for him and most of the time he says "no, for Jones"! I think it is kind of cute I just wish he would at least try them. He is the most picky eater I have, I actually got him to eat meat for the first time in 2 years so hopefully one day he will try his eggs.

Well after spending about 4 hours at the doctor today they decided it was fractured. There is a small fracture on the inside of his heel. And they believe he broke the growth plate in his ankle.
He thought he was really cool once he saw the cast on but after a few hours he realized that it can be very annoying. I guess that is what you get for jumping off the stairs.

Here he is at his jumping point. It actually made him nervous to be sitting there so hopefully he won't be jumping again anytime soon.

Do you think they ever learn?

So the other day Jones decided to jump off the side of our stairs from about 8 stairs up, and ended up hurting his ankle. Two days went by and he was still having a hard time walking on it and at times would just crawl. So we took him into the doctor that night for x-rays. As of right now they don't think it is broken but they said there was a lot of swelling around one of the bones. We were told that sometimes the break doesn't show up until after the third or fourth day when it starts to heal. So in a week if he is still walking funny we go back in for more x-rays. Anyway he has to wear an air cast for awhile. As soon as we got home from the doctor he jumped up onto the counter, (another place he likes to jump from). You would think that him hurting his ankle would keep him from going to high places but obviously not. Luckily I walked in just in time to catch him from jumping off. I guess kids are made to keep their parents on their feet.
