I found Jakey in the garage today trying to sound out the word "husky." I have such a smart boy.

Earlier this week, while in a store, Jakey said to me, "Mom that sign says EXIT!"

Camping in Moon Lake was fun. As we were sleeping the first night, Kallee was dreaming and yelling that Jakey was dropping her chips, which woke up Jakey. Needless to say, Jakey and Kallee ended up sleeping with Ken and I.

We went camping to Moon Lake with Aunt Sunny, Justin, Josh and Jill. When we arrived, Kallee looked at the mountains in front of us and told her Dad, "I love the mountains, can I jump on them?"

Ken and I were sitting in the kitchen talking and the kids were outside playing. Kallee comes in followed by Jakey. Kallee said something about a mouse, Ken and I look at each other and then look at Jakey holding a dead mouse in his hand as proud as he can be! We jumped!

Today we went to Granite Park for a pony ride. When we arrived Kallee exclaimed, "Mom there is Papa and Grammy, there in the mountains, that is where they live!" (Granite Park is close to the mountains.)

Jon, Syd, and Julia have stayed with us the last two weeks while Steve and Shawnya were in Asia. We enjoyed them!

Jon learned to vacuum, fold clothes, eat different foods, and play with 3-year olds! Jon was a great help! Jakey and Kallee loved having him here because he would play with them. Jon is a great cousin (older brother)!

When Syd wasn't at school, track, or church activities she hung out here with me and the kids. Julia, Syd and I went to the "Reliant K" and "Paramore" concert! Rock on!

Julia slept, showered and sometimes would eat here. She is a busy girl!

This morning Jakey and Kallee went through the whole house calling out "Jon, Syd, Julia, where are you?" I think they liked Jon, Syd, and Julia staying with us.

Today was Jakey's and Kallee's Dance Recital. Before the recital began, the dance teachers said Jakey knew the dance the best however he would not dance in front of people. Kallee did dance but she was looking in the mirror the entire time. It was a great time!

Aunt Sunny visited with us this weekend. Some of her favorite quotes from Jakey, "I went downstairs...and into the playroom and went poop...then I went to the bathroom and put the poop in the toilet."

"Look Mom!...It's Jesus Christ!!!" (In El Rancho Grande there is a painting of a Mexican women in shawls that Jakey thinks is Jesus.)

"We don't say shit Aunt Sunny...we say silly goose instead!"

Jakey has not been using the toilet for number 2. I don't know if he is afraid or what. Anyway, we have an underwear graveyard in the garage garbage can. However, yesterday Jakey didn't have any accidents. I am so proud of him!

Today we were coming home from a walk and he and Kallee ran ahead of me. When I caught up to them, Jakey had his pants down around his ankles peeing on the front lawn! I wonder what the neighbors think?

Jakey is finally understanding how to use the potty. After many tears, Jakey has had a couple of days with no accidents. He is still having trouble with #2 on the toilet, but he has made progress. He has earned a helicopter and some guys for his helicopter.

Recently he has started to earn time to play video games with successful trips to the potty. Jakey is also getting his room updated! Today he got a car toddler bed and thinks it is the coolest thing ever!

Jakey asked his Dad what the sores were called on his leg. Ken replied they were called owees. Jakey told his Dad he thought they were called "twinkle twinkle little owees!"

Jakey peed in the toilet once last night and two times today! Hooray!

Jakey and Kallee love talking about their birthday. They discuss what presents they want and what kind of cake they want. I have been trying to explain their birthday is not for a while by telling them when it is, November 20th.

The other day I asked Kallee when her birthday is and she told me November 20th. I asked Jakey the same question and he shot back, FRIDAY! They make me laugh!

A few days ago Jakey told his Dad the moon was fixed. Ken didn't know it was broken but then realized that Jakey was referring to when there was a half of a moon and now the moon is full again!

Kallee was sitting on Grandpa Larry's lap at the office. Grandpa drew Kallee and Jakey a picture and wrote their names next to their faces. Kallee corrected Grandpa when he spelled her name with one "l" instead of two!

This morning the kids were watching "Sid the Science Kid," and Sid stated he had the best Grandma in the world. Kallee chimed in..."I do too!"

Last night, Ken and I checked on Jakey and Kallee before going to bed. We found Kallee naked with diaper on...Jakey without pajama bottoms and UNDERWEAR on backwards. Now this is big considering Jakey doesn't want to wear underwear and he may be 10 before he gets potty trained. Today, Jakey wants nothing to do with underwear. What is a mother to do?

Jakey's and Kallee's first dance recital. They did a short tap dance. Jakey stood there and didn't dance. Kallee followed along pretty well.
