Happy Birthday Jayden

Wow, Our Jayden has turned 5! I seriously don't know how this happened so  fast. It seems like just yesterday that he came to our family.  He is such a tender hearted, sweet little guy. He loves his  little brother to pieces and makes sure that he is taken care of. He LOVES preschool and is anxious to learn. He loves sports of all kinds.  In fact, he came out of the womb lovin sports. When he was just a baby Taylor would put on a basketball game if he was fussy and he would calm right down!!! He spent many hours in the gym while I was coaching volleyball at Springville. He was always so good for me!! I would just bring his little walker and he would cruise all over the gym.  

He has scared us more than a few times with his health. When he was one, he got a really high fever so we took him to the Dr. His heart rate was like 220 beats per minute. They couldn't even count it.  They told us that we could send him in the ambulance or go right to the ER. In the end we went to see a cardiologist and they told us he had svt. We were relieved to know that it wasn't life threatening and when his heart starting racing we just needed to hold him upside down!!

 When he was 2 ( and Justice was 7 weeks old) He was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome and put in  Payson hospital for 3 days, then Primary Children's Hospital for 5 days. His little body was so swollen with  fluid that he had an extra 8 pounds of water on him! That's a lot for a two year old! He is doing well now, and still has relapses but,  thanks to his medicine we can keep it under control. He is such a special little guys. We love you so much Jayden!

"Justice-isms"

Here are some fun things about Justice!

Birthday: October 5, 2005

Favorite color: GREEN

Favorite toys: Motorcycle and cars

Favorite treat: Oreos and ice cream

Favorite Movies: Monster's Inc, Monster House and The Grinch

Justice is so full of life! He keeps us laughing daily.  He is a little dare devil that will try anything....it REALLY scares me! Anyone that knows Justice, knows that he always has something up his sleeve. He is such a tease. I think he gets it from Uncle Mike. 

Here are some things Justice has said and done.  

* Flooded our bathroom toilet with a WHOLE box of Q-tips. The plumber had a hard time getting it unclogged. We had hefty bill. Needless to say, the q-tips are now out of reach!

* Snuck out of the house stark naked (I was in the shower) and rode his bike up and down the street, waving to all the neighbors. When I went to go get him, he ran away from me.

* Flooded the downstairs bathroom with Jayden. It was so bad that I had water into the kitchen and under the fridge!!! URG!!!!!  I had to turn off the water so it would stop flowing.We have wood floors so I was in a panic. 

* If there is mud (or food) anywhere, he will find it.  Regardless of who else is in it too, Justice manages to end up 10 times dirtier.  GUARANTEED.

*Rubbed the cream for his scars all over his entire face, arms, and legs.

* We got a phone call from a guy in CANADA and he said, " I  wanted to let you know that I just had quite the chat with your little one." Justice had been playing with the phone and dialed a real number......in Canada!! He was only 1 at the time! I think he made that sweet guys day. Enough that he thought he should call us back and let us know!

Justice Says:  

"Oh ya baby!"

"Don't pick your nose"

"Sup G money"

" Are those your boobs? Can I touch them?"  (I guess at least he asked first right?)

" I need somfin"

" Jayden's being a baby huh"

" Nebecracker's coming!" (its off of monster house)

"Mom, get mad at me K" (how do I respond to that...seriously! You should have seen the look on his face. So mischevious)

We love you so much Justice!!!! You make our family so much fun!!  Happy Birthday!

The pumpkin walk aka cake walk!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUSTICE

I am so slow posting the events of last week, I guess because it has been extra crazy around here! We celebrated Justice's 3rd Birthday on the 5th of October! I just can not believe my baby is three! Where did the time go? I decided to do the whole friend party thing this year and it was so CRAZY! Half the fun was the anticipation of  it all. We have an awesome neighborhood full of little boys (and a few girls.) We had 18 kids invited! Yeah, I said 18! Luckily a few were out of town so we had 10 that came. 

   The whole week before the party, Justice would ask, "Mom is my birthday party closed?" He was so excited he just could hardly stand it! So when friends started showing up on Saturday he said, " Mom my party is OPEN!" It was really fun that he caught on this year!  Cami, you inspired me to try my first birthday cake...... and well, you'll notice I am not posting a picture! I tried, what can I say.  Justice loved it though. We did a motorcycle bike track. I crushed oreos on the top for the dirt. ( Oreo's are Justices favorite!)  I  will have another shot at a cake next month when Jayden turns 5.  He wants a stars wars cake.....we'll see how that one goes.

I am going to post a few pictures from the big day. I also thought it would be cute to write some of the things that  Justice has said and done.

Jumpstart on Halloween!

I guess that Justice is really excited for halloween. I'm not sure if he is trying to be a ninja or a terrorist, but I couldn't stop laughing when I saw him. His shirt describes him to a tee.
