"All You Need" by Jaden James :)

Who in the world wakes up singing? I can tell you who...JADEN! Jaden wakes up singing, literally. Whether he is waking up from a nap or early in the morning at 6 am. The minute he opens his eyes he starts to sing. I think it is the cutest thing ever. He loves to watch the Thomas & Friends videos and listen to the songs. This one is his favorite and usually is the one he is always singing. He knows most of the words to all of his favorite songs. His memory is amazing and so is his voice. :) I am pretty positive he is going to be a singer. I love to hear him sing all day long.

Some of his favorite songs...
Real Gone - Cars theme song
Life is a Highway
all of the Thomas & Friends songs
Jingle Bells
Come on Ride the Train - Quad City DJ's
BINGO
Airplane song (from Barney)

1.   The most spontaneous thing I've ever done was off the top of my  head...go to Vegas last minute with my boyfriend at the time. We just got in the car and drove there for the night. It was so fun. 

2.  The best gift I've ever received was other than the obvious (my kids)...a scrapbook that my mom made me of the first 21 years of my life. I love to look at it and reminisce. :) 

3.  A time that I was truly and genuinely surprised was when I found out I was pregnant with Kaylie...LOL, Jaden was only 2 1/2 months old...I remember calling Nicole and she thought I was joking. 

4.  I can't leave the house without my cell phone and chapstick.

5.  My favorite day of the week is Thursday because   Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice! :) My life is sooo exciting.

6.  Something that can always make me laugh is  Friends! the TV show

7.  My perfect day would include  sleeping in, Starbucks frap, play with kids, hang out at the pool, take a nap, gym, watch shows, yummy dinner and stay up late :)

so happy together

BuNk BeDs!

 Daddy sending money = the kids getting bunk beds!!!

Wednesday morning the kids and I went to a furniture warehouse and found some great bunk beds. They got to test all of them out and thankfully they picked the one I had my eye on. The salesman told me that it would only take about an hour and a half. Hah! I started putting together the pieces that night, which took about two hours. Then Jamie and I finished it up on Friday night and it took us close to 3 hours. Jaden asked a hundred times, "Now can you set up my bunk beds?" "Are the bunk beds done yet?" Jaden and Kaylie were soooo excited. I'm so glad that I took pictures to remember their adorable, ecstatic faces.

Here they are sleeping the first night...

This is definitely going to be one of my favorite pictures forever...

Tonight they were in their own individual beds and stayed up talking for almost an hour. Jamie went in to tell them to go to sleep and Jaden had taken his pillow into Kaylie's bed and laid next to her. I went in and saw that they were laying there and decided why not? If they are going to sleep then they can sleep together. So I gave Jaden his blanket and they talked and giggled for a few more minutes and then fell asleep. I went in a couple hours later and took this picture. :) ♥ Best friends ♥

Fill in the Blanks...all about hair!

1.   My last haircut was  in September. 

2.  My most daring hair moment was     when I let Nicole (6 weeks into hair school) completely chop off my long hair to a short hair cut. She did an awesome job...

3.  A hairstyle I'd never be brave enough to try is   braids. Maybe someday if I go to the Bahamas for a few weeks. I think it'd be soooo fun.

4.  I've always dreamt of being a (blonde, brunette or red-head)   platinum blonde like Britney...even though I did it back in highschool, I'm not sure I could do it again.


5.  My go-to hair do is     straight or big pretty curls .

6.  My biggest hair disaster was    for some reason my hair got cut really really short when I was 6 or 7, like boy short with the poofy bangs. What were you doing to me Mom!? :) .

7.  A hairstyle I am dying to try is    extensions again...I LOVED having long hair. Just no glue this time :) .

8.  My best hair day was    probably for one of my high school dances.

9.  The worst hairstyle I ever had was  the poofy bangs all fluffed up and the crimped hair. hahaha!

10.  My hair is   slowly getting healthier, longer and more lovable :)   .

We are so happy to be in our new home. It is an adorable basement apartment which doesn't feel like we're in the basement. It's big, comfortable and very nice. The owners are really nice people. So far so good! The other night I was mopping my floor and I was smiling. I just love cleaning already clean, new, nice stuff! Jaden will randomly say to me, "Mommy I like our new house" or "I love the shiny, clean floors." :) I can definitely tell a difference with all of us, we are much happier here!

Here are a few pictures I have taken...

 Halloween weekend for us was allll moving. I didn't end up taking the kids trick or treating which I was okay with because they went to THREE Halloween parties in October.

 My sister Megan took the kids to her ward party. They had sooo much fun and got lots of candy.

 And she also took them to Melissa's Halloween party. MORE candy. :)

 Thanks Megan for being the best aunt ever :) Love you!!!
