Memorial weekend and soon to be one very happy girl!

We had a very low key Memorial weekend. Rusty had a lot of stuff to do outside so we did not plan anything! It was nice not to have to rush around like a mad person. But we did have to go to the Asian Festival on Saturday! We went with our good friends and then met up with other friends!
And that is all I have from the Asian festival! Why you ask? Because it was hot as He**! Poor Jaden was miserable! So we were only there about 2 hours! I didn't even buy anything! Of course the reason behind that was that I will be in China where it is 3 times cheaper! Making my list now! Later we went out to eat and I thought Jaden looked so cute that I made her take pictures. As you can tell she was less then thrilled!
After dinner we stopped at a local park we have never been too so that Jaden could get the wiggles out!
And finally after tomorrow the plan is to have one worn out girl everynight! We are going to make her and all her neighborhood friends very happy! Because it is out with this...
A little measuring to make sure it fits...
And if the rain holds off tomorrow we should have a big surprise for Jaden...
Minus all the white kids and with a wooden roof! This was all her daddy's idea! I can't wait to see her face!

Swimming, playing, painting, planting and pooping!

So once again we have had a busy week. We have spent alot of time outside. Swimming of course is one of Jaden's favorite pastimes!
And when she is not in the pool you can usually find our playing in the yard with her buddies!
This week Jaden also decided to help her daddy plant some flowers. Thank goodness she likes to do it because I do not and now they can do it together!
We also did something I said I would not do until school was out. Go to the Zoo! But it was a nice day and I thought what the heck, there are only 21 buses here today! Plus we met up with our good friend Leah who is also getting a baby brother from China like Jaden!
After all this outdoor fun little miss Jaden proved to me that she was more like her daddy than we thought. Her eyes started swelling and they were so red. Seems our little angel has allergies!
So now we are on daily allergy medicine and we stayed indoors for a few days. To pass the time I let Jaden paint. It was so good that we are going to hang it up!(in the mudd room!)
I am SO HAPPY to say Jaden is 100% potty trained! She is even pooping on a regular basis which is HUGE for her! We still do Miralax daily and probably will for her lifetime but at least its working! For doing so great today she got some mail, and so did I! I can only eat one kind of mayonnaise and they have to mail it from Mississippi! I have been out for a week now so I have been going through DT's! I don't know who was more excited, me or Jaden!!!
Wish I got $25 every time I pooped! And I just have to post this picture of Jaden with her beloved puppy! Compare the two puppies she's holding. They are the exact same stuffed animal but one she has slept with since she came home and the other never gets played with!
One is grey and one is white, gee I wonder which one is the love of her life!
