Jetty-boo

My favorite 2 year old in the whole universe... what a spunky-monkey. When I describe my sweet boo-boo, Jetty-boo, monkey butt, Jet, guy, I feel a mixture of total exhaustion and utter adoration. He is wild, no doubt. Crazy, reckless and terrifying but at the same time he is so sweet and tender with endless kisses and I wuv you's. He is passionate and intelligent, I can tell he will be academic and bright with a temper and wild moods. I have a gal come clean once a week and he literally follows her around for hours saying "You wuv me? I wuv you so much, I wuv you," needless to say, she adores him as well. He is nothing but doting to Audgy (pronounced Odd-jee) often climbing into her crib and laying sweetly next to her telling her stories. His very favorite things right now include: Finding Nemo and Veggie tales: Lord of the Beans, or as he says, Me-mo and War da Beans, foffles(waffles), doaggies, and jumping onto, or off of, everything. He goes to Maddox for comfort and hugs and just cries into his chest which is so incredibly endearing. Are they awful to each other? Yes. But they also run to each other cheerfully yelling the other's name saying, "I missed you!" after an hour apart at church. They will certainly despise each other at times but I know they will be such incredible friends for their whole lives.

We celebrated Jetty's Birthday in Montana, along with Maddox and Papa Scott's. Then, on the day of his actual birthday we had special cupcake breakfast, presents and general fun. To celebrate turning Two, we took his binky away :) He has been sober since September 17. He has also decided that sitting in his own poo is disgusting and has chosen to start using the toilet. Two is AWESOME! We really are enjoying this time and what incredible people our kids are turning into.

This growing up business has got to stop

My firstborn is four, where has the time gone? I am thrilled with the amazing kid he is growing into. He is all boy, rough and tumble, gun shooting, ball:throwing, hitting, shooting, whacking; superhero, snack sneaker.
Maddox is everyone's buddy. He makes friends with all kids, no matter their age and he asks for his friends daily. Maria is our 18 year old neighbor, Joya is 16, Jarred (his "bigger friend" is 11, his "little friend" Lincoln is 3, Kody is 12 etc. He asks for his cousins, every day as well as rolling ball, the big slide, swimming and golfing. The kid isn't afraid to ask for the world.
He likes to hold my hand and tell me I'm his best friend or his best sweetheart. He kisses the back of my hand and will stroke my hair, saying "I wike your hair" and then he'll turn right around and punch Jetty in the gut. Every night at bed he asks "mom, you tickle my back and my belly"? He begs to go to church and to school, for goodness sake! I could go on and on and on about what an amazing kid he is and I can just envision the incredible man he will grow into. What a joy to be his mama.

Guess who is FOUR?!

This is his very serious, Spider Man face. He held the face and the pose for quite some time, not seeming to mind that Reese and I were enjoying a good laugh.
We celebrated the day of with a Little Debbie donut mound, a few presents and fun stuff I don't remember. Then we headed to Billings for a smattering of things and celebrated again with all of the fam. Spider Man was the unofficial theme as he is currently very "into" the superhero. We celebrated at the waterpark again this year, it never gets old (Thanks G.G.!)Thanks Grammy and Papa Myers for hosting everyone and providing all of the fun play things!
