My 3 year olds last words.............

.............. Before he turns FOUR that is

Mom are you going to be happy or sad tomorrow ?

Mom you need to tell me I LOVE YOU tomorrow, okay !!

tomorrow I will be four..........Then next year when I turn five I WILL be INCHARGE of everyone

Mom are you going to behave yourself ?

I TRULY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS LINE OF QUESTION AND DEMANDS

I AM SURE THAT I AM GENERALLY HAPPY, ALWAYS TELL HIM I LOVE HIM, NOT SURE IN WHAT WORLD FIVE YEAR OLDS ARE INCHARGE & SURELY I BEHAVE MYSELF AS A RULE

I GUESS HE JUST WANTED TO KNOW THAT NOTHING WOULD CHANGE BETWEEN HE AND I WHEN HE TURNED THE BIG "4"

THE BEST THING IS WHAT MY LITTLE 3 YEAR OLD SAID TO ME VERY LAST TONIGHT

MOM I LOVE YOU

4 IS STARTING OUT RATHER NICE

Just like Ellis Island..........well close

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

This is the Line to become a Citizen of the United States of America
( look who is in it, my husband)

Waiting

America - a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose.
Herbert HooverUS mining engineer & politician (1874 - 1964)

The actual OATH OF CITIZENSHIP

America lives in the heart of every man everywhere who wishes to find a region where he will be free to work out his destiny as he chooses.

Woodrow Wilson

28th president of US (1856 - 1924)

The elated family
We almost look like we could have been at Ellis Island
( who no longer has to pay the government for random papers, take tests, or prove anything income or otherwise !!!!!)

First Attempt..........Beginners Luck ?

My First Attempt at WW Bagels

Sunday ,Sunday

i cant decide wether Jaxsons being like me is a good thing...................

i went into the boyz room to get their Sunday clothes ready and this is what i found
next i hear the shower go on, 5minutes later and up the stairs comes a fresh * clean * fully dressed * Jaxson..................... i guess it is good, the problem comes when he expects everyone to be ready the moment he is


They sure clean up nice
