Bye Bye Sugar Bugs!!

Jace had his first cleaning at the dentist today, he has been a couple other times to do x-rays etc. to check on his lovely underbite. He did excellent and apparently was talking their ears off which I think is hilarious because he is normally so shy around new people. They said his teeth look great and we are going to wait a little longer to see if we need to get an appliance to push those top teeth back out to correct the underbite. I figure since it doesn't bother him at all and they are just baby teeth that are going to fall out, what is the point, but I am not the expert so we will just have to wait and see.

Potty Mouth Here We Come!!

Luis, Jace and I were on our way to Sam's and Luis was driving. He accidentally got in the turning lane when we needed to go straight and Luis said "Oh Sh!t" so naturally Jace immediately started to say it. Trying to keep straight faces and not laugh we told Jace that wasn't what Luis said and that he was saying it wrong and it was "Oh Shoot". Well the next thing you know we are in Sam's and Jace is in the cart and some of our drink spilled on the floor. Jace started saying really loudly "Oh Sh!t, Oh Sh!t" again and again. Luis and I are just mortified. There were people every where, most of them just walked by us laughing.
From now on with the advice of Luis' Mom we just tell Jace any bad words he might say are "grown up words". We know he will hear them all the time but hopefully from now on he will know he shouldn't use them!!!

She's Your LOVE!!

This story is so cute I had to share!!

The 3 of us were sitting at the dinner table talking and Luis being his dorky self that he is around us starting to sing to Jace that song that says "cause your my best friend." I pretended I was sad and told Luis in front of Jace "I thought I was your best friend". Jace looked at us and said "she's not your best friend, she's your love".

Come on how cute is that!!

Boys and their Toys!!

What is it with boys and guns? I have been very wary about getting Jace any toy guns to play with. I was not raised around guns so I am scared to death of them. Well just because Jace didn't have any toy guns didn't mean he didn't play with them. One of the first things he made with his giant lego's was a gun and of course every stick shaped object turns in to a gun too.

I finally gave in and bought Jace a little cap gun a couple of weeks ago, while Luis was in Mexico, because he is going to be a cowboy for Halloween. I gave him strict rules about the gun, he can not point it or shoot at anything that is living - just toys etc. Well of course this became his favorite toy that he wanted to take everywhere. He asked several times to take it places when we go out and I would just tell him absolutely not!!

When Luis came home from Mexico he took Jace to school in the morning and Jace proceeded to tell Luis about his gun and that mommy said "absolutely not can he take his gun to school." Luis called me right away to tell me what Jace told him because he thought it was so funny.

Happy 1st Birthday Elizabeth!!

Today was our nieces 1st birthday. Her birthday party was on Saturday, she had a great time, especially with the cake as you can see in the pictures. Unfortunately Jace and Luis couldn't make it because Jace had a 103 degree fever that started on Thursday night until Sunday afternoon. The poor little guy was just crushed that he couldn't go to the party, he had been talking about baby Elizabeth's birthday for about a month. So I decided not to take the present and card that Jace picked out for her to her birthday party and we would try to meet up today on her actual birthday so he could give it to her himself. Well wouldn't you know that his fever came back last night, this time with a pretty good cough to go with it. He was already so excited about seeing Elizabeth that we couldn't disappoint him again so since this time it was just a low grade fever (about 100) and he made it thru school okay we just stocked up on wipes and hand sanitizer to take to dinner and it all worked out. Happy Birthday Elizabeth, and Happy 1/2 Birthday Jace!!
