As Of Late

Well its been a little while since our last post and although we haven't been on any super cool adventures or done anything too exciting, I thought I'd just update you on life here in Eden.

Shawn has been coaching 3 soccer teams this fall so every Saturday is full of soccer games and Jaden loves it! Shawn also introduced him to the Adidas sign on his warm up suit the other day...now he refuses to wear anything without it on it...but we're getting through that I hope! :) Thanks daddy! The other day J and I were doing laundry and he was going through dad's soccer bag and found a spare pair of shin guards and a whistle, he thought he was pretty stinkin cool!

I've been trying to come up with funlittle things for us to do together while we have our one on one time, so this last week we made sugar cookies, it was a lot of fun but all I had were easter shapes so we had to pretend the eggs were footballs...don't worry I added halloween cookie cutters to the grocery list and we will try again in the next few weeks!

Another think that Jaden is REALLY into is tools! last christmas he got a little tool set and he always wants to fix EVERYTHING! If I say its broken Jaden automatically says "I fix it" and runs off to find his tool box, its pretty cute! When I ask him if he needs help he always responds, "No, Big Boy Mom" this has become his most commonly used phrase! The sad thing is that it's true, he's getting so big and independent! Well the other day I was doing dishes and I turned around to find this....

Apparently Jaden decided that HE was broken and needed to be fixed! I laughed pretty hard and he thought he was pretty funny!

Jaden is also VERY into pirates!!! He loves to walk around saying "Arg" and "yo ho ho" My mom picked him up a pirate hat and sword and a few other things at the costume shop and we end up playing pirates just about every day!

I'm enjoying every moment I have with me and my "big boy"! He is growing up so fast and talking up a storm, he likes to "write" his name, look for "neighs" and "moos" whenever we go for a drive, play in baby sisters room, read books and run around as a dinosaur monster or pirate! I can't believe how much he is learning every day and how his imagination is growing too! I'm lucky to be his mommy!

Other than soccer, Shawn has just been working and going to school. He's busy all the time but enjoys what he does and boy oh boy does that make a difference! He will be finished with school in March and I can't wait!

As for me, I'm just along for the ride! :) I'm adjusting more and more to being alone up here, and loving it more and more. It's a much slower pace, but its good for me! We are just trying to get everything ready for baby girl and the holidays coming up! The next few months should be quite the learning experience! Well thats the latest with us!
