I have been thinking that I should journal all of the random thoughts my kids say... Here is what I can remember.
Andrew at almost 2 years old. When asked how babies are born he said... "First the mom swallows a seed and then a baby grows in her tummy and then she spits it out." Jaden says "They are up in my room" Now at age six Andrew says "They are floating around inside the mommy's stomach then they start to grow and out comes a baby."
The other day when walking Andrew to school I asked him "What do you want to be when you grow up?" He said "I want to be a bond trader, wait no a doctor a bond trader is my fall back." I about fell on the ground and rolled I was laughing so hard. I asked him where he had heard that and he said "The Museum" What kids pick up from TV. Jaden says she wants to be a grown-up and a mommy. How cute!
Other things I have noticed her saying that are cute. The other night when I was tucking her in, she asked for some water. I am lazy so I went in the bathroom and got her some. She said, "No mom, I want water from the Anfigurator" I thought it was cute. Then today I was trying to teach her senses. I asked her "What is your nose for" she said, "Picking"; ears "earrings"; eyes "seeing"; fingers "pointing"; and tongue "licking" Not sure she passed the test.
As for today, the kids both went to school today and then tonight we are going to meet some friends at Mazzio's. Last night after Jaden's soccer practice, we came home and played some soccer in the backyard. Andrew and I kicked the ball around. Jade is just not interested. Both of my kids have a hard time understanding that if they want the ball, they have to go get it. They think the other person is being mean and stilling their toy. After we got done playing soccer I noticed a Katydid (leaf bug) on the side of our house. We caught it and now it is our newest member of our family "Hermie." Andrew did pretty good at school until right before school was out. He had a green bee all day until he got into a kids face. The teacher told him not to do it again. A few seconds later he did it again so the teacher gave him a yellow bee.
This past week!
I guess I am a week behind. Eventually I will remember to do this everyday. So since the last time I blogged. We went to the State Fair to watch High School Musical on Ice and I have started exercising. Man I am out of shape.
John, Savannah, and Kailey came up last weekend. We were busy the whole time. It flew by. They got here Friday night. We stayed up and watched Hurricane Ike hit Galveston, Tx. It was pretty scary looking. Then on Saturday we got up and went to Andrew's soccer game. It started sprinkling as soon as we got there, but they didn't cancel the game. He did a really good job hustling, but no goals this time. After his game, we went to Panera Bread to eat. It was good. We were waiting on Jaden's game to start, but it rained cats and dogs and the game was canceled. Since it was raining, I had to run out in the rain and get my car. I got so wet. I was drenched. We decided to come home and wait on the High School Musical on Ice to start at 3:30. By the time we got dry, it was time to go. After High School Musical was over, we went to ride rides. The kids had a blast.
Running around!!
Today has been a typical day. I got up and took Jaden to school at 9:30. Andrew and I decided to let Jason sleep because he worked until 2a.m. so we went to Wal-Mart. After unloading groceries, we picked up Jason and went to eat at Freddies. I felt like a youngster so I ate chili cheese fries and then a chocolate covered cherry concrete. OMG!! I have heart burn and am regretting it now.. Anyways, after that we took Andrew to school at 12:45. While the kids where at school Jason and I went and ran errands. Since we had to pick Jaden up at 2:30 we didn't get much done. After picking her up, we went straight home to walk to pick up Andrew. Now we are having quiet time. The kids have to wind down before the rest of the day continues. Today at school Andrew did very good. He even got to buy his own popcorn. I wish I could have taken a picture of him at the counter with his 50 cents. He also brought home his second library book. That means more home work for us.
The rest of the day we plan on going to Garden Ridge to look for flower pots for my new flowers. After that we are going to go out and eat. Then come home and wait on Poppy, Vannah, and Kailey to get here. We are going to the state fair this weekend to watch High School Musical on Ice.. Yeah!! We also have soccer games in the morning.. Go Sharks (Andrew) and Backyardigans(Jaden)..

I love Family!!!
Since we have moved here we have had a bunch of company. I love it. It is nice to be able to see friends and family as much as possible. I think it makes your heart feel complete. John, Savannah, and Kaily all came up for a weekend and we had a really good time. I think all we did was go to the mall, but it was still a blast to visit with them.
Next my Aunt Lauri, Taylor, and Trinity came to see me so that Taylor and Trinity could go to the doctor. We had a really good time and it was great for the kids to get to know each other. Aunt Lauri had a stomach bug, but that just meant she got to stay and hang out another day which made me happy.
Also we had a B-day party with my parents and sister. Since it was mine, dad's, and Aaron's B-day in August we celebrated while they all where here. I am loving living close to family. I hope the company keeps on coming.. 
Man I am behind!!!
It has been awhile!! Sorry to those who check it. I will try to catch up to date.
Well, most of my time is spent taking the kids places. Both of my kids are in school and soccer. I also have Jade in dance and Andrew in karate. That means that I only have Tuesday and Friday nights that I am not running them places.
So far Andrew has done ok in school. He gets bee's everyday. If he is good he gets a green bee, bad a yellow bee, and awful a red bee. So far he has gotten two yellow bee's on Fridays. We have the no tolerance policy so he gets punished at home if his bee changes color.
Jade is doing about the same in school. We have had some complaints of her hitting and not eating. I think she is distracted and she doesn't eat. As far as the hitting goes.. We are working on her attitude all together. She can be so rude sometimes and yet so loving at other times.
As for the soccer... Andrew is loving soccer this year. At his first game last Saturday he scored the first point for his team. Go Andrew!!!! Jade on the other hand just picks flowers and has nothing to do with the ball. She thinks that every time someone else is kicking the ball that they have taken away her toy and it isn't fair. It is hard for her to understand because all a long you tell them to share and then all of a sudden it is time to take the toy away and fight for it..
Andrew's karate is to help build confidence and listening skills. I can tell he has made huge progress since we moved here. He has learned some moves to help protect himself and also runs off a lot of energy, which is always a good thing.
Jade's dance class is really just cute and to equal it all out. Of course she is also learning confidence and listening skills. The instructors at the Little Gym are awesome about having this amazing positive attitude that of course is contagious. Even if all of the kids are out of control in the class, the instructors come out and talk positive about all they learned.
As for Jason and I, we are doing great. We love the new house and the City. It is an awesome place to live. One of the problems is we haven't figured out a way to be bored yet. Today, we laid around. It was nice, but we needed to be hanging pictures and cleaning. Oh well, I can some of that tonight while he is at work. He is still following Nghia and they have been working the 5p-2a shift. I like it because it gives him the chance to have one on one time with each kid and me. We still have a lot of decorating to do, but we did get curtains for our living room and a desk for the office. Life is great and right now I am getting Andrew ready for karate. :)

Getting Settled!
I think we are about moved in!!!! I can't believe it! We can now fit our car in the garage. We still have a some boxes in bedrooms, but the two living rooms and kitchen are done. Yesterday I had some girls over for lunch. It was a great time. My kids are not as sad about being here now. Andrew and Jade already have two new friends Jacob and Noah, and when Mallory gets old enough, I am sure they will get along with her too. Most of my days are spent waiting on people to come and do stuff. Yesterday I was stuck at home from 10-2 p.m. waiting on the Murphy bed. When it came, it was the wrong color. I was pretty sad about it. They sent it back and I should be getting a new one by August 20th. Today I am waiting on the alarm people to come and set out alarm. Of course like all places they can't give you a set time. I am to be home from 10-12 today. I need to go school clothes and supply shopping. I guess it will have to wait.
Busy! Busy! Busy!
Man oh man have we had a busy week. I am now living in OKC and unpacking. We had quite a trip moving here. It started out with a truck that wasn't big enough and ended with Jason pulling a Uhaul. We left Temple at 9:00 p.m. and drove all night. We got here at 2:30 a.m. That morning at around 8:00 a.m. we got up and unloaded everything and waited on the moving van. Our kids went to see their Granma Nancy. I am so grateful we had their help and the kids had a blast. 
After a fun weekend in Guymon, we came home to finish unpacking. I am closer to being done, but I still have a bunch of boxes in the garage. I love every square inch of my new home, and I really think I am going to like my neighborhood. Tonight Kristina and Chris friend's of Nghia and Melissa that live in the neighborhood came over and brought us muffins. It turns out that we are going to be sharing back fences with this couple. They are going to build on the lot behind us. They are a very nice couple and I look forward to getting to know them better.
