Lots of stuff!

Once again I am a slacker and have gotten behind on blogging. What can I say but I no longer have free time!!! The little I do have is spent relaxing.(yhea right!)

Jaden got to see her favorite teenager, Jodus when he came a cut our grass for the last time of the season! She loves Jodus and gets so excited when she sees him! But even Jodus can't make her happy when she doesn't get her way!



Last weekend we had to head to Dayton for a wedding. Jaden was not in the best mood and this made for a very unfun wedding for mommy! But we did get to see our cousin C!



The next day we went to a pumpkin patch with our good friends M & M!!! We had a great time but it was alot hotter than I expected! Poor JJ's cheeks were on fire! We ended up losing the overalls before the day was over!





Later that day we went to eat with Jodus! Alot of Jaden's time was spent playing with Tempe the latest member of the clan!



This week we went to our favorite farm with M & M for some animal loving and horseback riding. My camera decided to pick that moment to go on the fritz so I only got a few pictures!







Thursday we went to the zoo with our friend A! Jaden now has a new favorite animal, the turtle! I think she could have spent all day just watching them! I love it because it is so cute the way she says turtle!










This morning we had Chinese school. Jaden was more into dancing and singing today on her own! Finally a little breathing room for momma!



Now its nap time! And my free time! Yhea!

Fun with a boy!!! and riding horses! And Happy Birthday wishes!

Yesterday Jaden had a playdate with her friend Andrew. Little do these two know that they have already been paired up for dances and possibly marriage!!! HAHAHA!
While Jaden and Andrew played I got to have adult conversation with my great friend Melissa and we got to attempt to do some scrapbooking. Yhea right! After they played here for a while we went to a great park in town! The kids had a wonderful time and it was great spending time with someone over 3 feet!!!



Last week we went to a farm about 45 minutes from home to meet up with some friends! Jaden had a blast seeing all the animals. She loves all animals so it made her day. Her favorite part by far was riding a horse!!!








And yesterday was Jaden's Best friends birthday so we have to send a big happy birthday to our best bud Julianna!!!
And of course we also have to wish our other great friend Allie Grace a happy birthday too! Hers is just few days away! We hope both of you special girls have a great birthday party this weekend!!! Wish we could be there!!!

Apple Picking!

One of the things I have looked forward to doing with Jaden sine she has been home is pick apples! I dont know why because I have never picked apples that I know of. All summer I was thinking ahead to our apple picking trip. Finally fall came and it was time, so I bribed Rusty with the fact that I would make and apple pie if he went! It worked and he took off friday and we hit the road to a local apple farm. We had a great time and picked 40 lbs of apples!










Now I had to figure out what to do with all these apples! Of course I have to make a pie but how many apples can that take. So I found a recipe on the internet for apple sauce in a crockpot. I made it today and oh my goodness is it good! I am so proud of myself. Rusty said its the best applesauce he has ever had. Now we may have to go back and pick more apples!!!
