When we went to the gym Tay showed us all that he still has mad basketball skills. I had to post this picture! What a stud! His goal is to be able to dunk it when he is 40 so the boys will remember! Only 9 more to go:) That is so weird to say!

 Santa read Jayden's letter .

Merry Christmas!!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! We sure did! It was so much fun this year because the kids really caught on to everything. Christmas Eve we had Mike, Cath, Payton, and Cade up and ate Fondue. It was sooo yummy. After that we decorated our traditional Christmas train out of boxes. My family has done that ever since I can remember and I still love doing it.  After we decorate our boxes we hang our stockings in them. Santa fills our boxes with presents and stuffs our stockings. Its so nice because after the crazy Christmas morning we just put all our stuff back in the train and its  all together. Taylor likes to tease me because I get so into it:) What can I say, I'm just a kid at heart when it comes to Christmas!  

After that we let the kids open their PJ's then they were off to bed.  It was so cute, we tucked them in and then later went to check on them. Both of them were out of bed looking out the window. When Taylor asked them what they were doing they said they "were looking for Santa" It was so cute! 

The next morning we opened presents, had a nice breakfast, and just lounged around. Later in the day we took them to the gym at Tay's work to ride their new bikes. We had too much snow to ride outside and they were dying to get on their new bikes.  Jayden got a yellow and blue one and Santa got Justice a "motorcycle" bike. Thats all he wanted, was a motorcylce! 

Just a funny

Ok, I will update Christmas pictures soon. But I just have to tell a funny.  Jayden saw me getting dressed this morning  in my exercise clothes and he said to me, " mom why are you exercising, your still gonna be fat" I just laughed! I tried to explain that if I exercise while I am pregnant then my belly will go down faster after I have the baby. BTW, Jayden thinks my belly is huge. But he seriously has no idea what I am capable of when I am prego:) I still have a long ways to go! I love that kids will just say whatever the heck they are thinking! I wish sometimes I could just do that too!  

Where has December gone? I am so behind with this whole blogging thing! We have been busy decorating for Christmas and all the things that come with this time of year. The boys are SO EXCITED for Santa to come! Kids just make Christmas the best! We went to the mall so they could sit on Santa's lap and they loved it. Justice told him he wanted a motorcycle, Jayden asked for a bike.  We didn't even have any tears this year! I think Jayden was a little nervous, but he couldn't let Justice out do him. 

My parents bought a a brazley iron this year for Christmas and gave it to us early. So the Bowring tradition lives on! I love those stinkin things. I can't eat enough of those dang cookies. It was fun to make them. The house smells SO good! 

I am now 15 weeks pregnant! Yeah! I am feeling so much better now and I am so thankful for that! My kids watched a few too many movies there for a while so I am trying to make up the lost time and do some fun things with them!! I think they are glad to have a mom again:)  My official due date is June 13th. So if the trend continues I might get a May baby. I am already so big. My belly is out there! What do ya do? I am praying for a little girl. I can hardley stand it.  We will be finding out what it is next month. I cant handle the surprise thing.

I will have lots to post this weekend. Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

     
                                                                                                                                                                                

Jaydenisms

OK, so here are some fun things about Jayden.

*He was due on November 28th, but he was born 3 weeks early! THANK YOU! His birthday is November 8th.

*Loves to sing (I am SO sick of hearing the star wars theme I could vomit!)

* Loves Indiana Jones and Star Wars.  He and His friends play "wars" everyday.

*We took Jayden to a Jazz game when he was  just 8 weeks old.  We had 4th row seats right down from the players wives. Mosha Kirelinko saw us and asked if she could hold him! We had dressed him in a Kerelinko jersey (which was huge on him) and spiked his hair. (he had a lot!)She thought that he was so cute. She was really nice and talked to us for a bit. We have a picture somewhere!

* Jayden can't quite say disapear yet, he says  it "dis be peared"

* When he was learning to talk he could say "hippopotamus" just fine, but he could not say "Octopus" He would call it a "hobitus"

* Taylor bought Jayden a Chocolate donut once because he went potty in the toilet. (chocolate are his favorite) and he sat at the table for 20 minutes  (not kidding, 20 Min.) just staring at it because he didn't want messy hands!! He is such a clean freak!

* When He was 2, Taylor coached girls basketball at Springville and he would just wait for dad to come home from work and take him to practice. I think he really payed attention because he would come home doing "defense" drills. It was so cute! He would bend down, slap the floor and say "denfence". THen he would slide across the floor saying "ball, ball, ball."

* When we were trying to potty train Jayden he kept peeing his pants. So finally I got after him. I told him he better stop peeing his pants, don't get me wrong, I was raising my voice at him. He walked away from me then turned around and said, "Be nice to me Mom!" I just busted up laughing.

*When he was 3 he said: "Are you serious?", "Oh, that makes sense"

* In Toys R Us the other day we were looking at toys and he said "Mom, come look at this, It is so Freakin Awesome!" There was a couple in the same isle just laughing at him. 

* When he was about 3 1/2 he went up to a the consession stand at the games and asked for some french fries. He came back to us and said, "mom, they told me no!" I asked why because I had no clue what he was talking about. He told me that he had asked for fries and they told him no! He didn't have any money. How could they say no to such a cute, inocent kid?

* He once told Taylor that he wanted to live with Jesus because he had a basketball hoop at his house.

* Jayden has the best memory ever. He remembers everything you say or do! I have had to really work on my mouth. When he was 3 he came up to me and said, "mom, Justice is a little shit huh" He has also said, "Damnit Justice" I fully take the responsibility for those words, even though I feel that they were justified! Anyone that knows Justice, knows he is a handful:)

* The other Day we were talking about Christmas and Jayden said, "Mom, how can reindeer fly? That doesn't make any sense, they don't have wings, only legs" Thank goodness he believed the BS that I spit out real quick! Sometimes I think that he thinks about things too much. Your only five Jayden. Just believe what we tell you!

Jayden, we love you tons boy! We are glad you had a fun Birthday!
