jacee's happenings....

well, jacee is now 8 1/2 months and growing tall and strong.  she is learning so many things, like how to pull herself up and how to blow raspberries.  she has 2 teeth which she got in on the 2nd of oct. both on the same day. ;)  the same time jacob lost his second tooth. ;)  she doesn't like to sleep much at nights, well, i shouldn't say that.  she sleeps from about 9:30 to 11:00, wakes up for a snack, then goes back to sleep 'till 3:00 and then goes back to sleep and wakes up at about 6:00 and then if we are home she'll sleep 'till 8:00.  we praise God daily for our little surprise, the one we can't imagine life without!

"WHO ARE WE PLAYIN' FOR!?!"

jacob got a whistle at cubbies last night as a reward for completing another section, so, this morning he and jayden were playing soccer.  he was the coach, and she was the player.   he told her they needed to have a huddle, so they went back into the corner, where we overheard this... " O.K. TEAM... WE NEED TO GO OUT THERE AND DO OUR BEST!  'CAUSE WHO ARE WE PLAYING FOR??  'jesus'  WHO ARE WE PLAYING FOR?? 'Jesus'  I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!  WHO ARE WE PLAYING FOR??  'JESUS!!' ALRIGHT... LET'S GO PLAY! "  then they ran into the canter of the office space and kicked the ball around.  as we cheered for them, praising them for playing for Jesus, they thanked us and said..."we're the huskers, we play for Jesus!"   what a blessing they are!

"jacked up"

jacob was so proud of himself the other day, and i was proud of him too.  he had his first lesson in couponing and found a coupon for a toy he wanted, so we went to wal-mart.  he had gone home, gotten the money out of his piggy bank, and off we went.  well, we got there, found the toy, proceeded to the checkout and when we got there, daddy gave him the change for the tax that we had figured out.  jacob went ahead of us, very proud and placed his toy on the counter and gave the girl his coupon and the money and when she rang them up she told him the total.  it was more money than he had, so i looked at her and said "you must be wrong, it should be $10.70... $10.00 plus tax."  she assured me she had wrung up the toy, then the coupon and it gave her that total...$11.05  well, daddy gave jacob more money and we went out the door.  i looked at his receipt and figured they charge you tax on the full amount, not the discounted amount, so i said..."well, that's jacked up!"  jacob without missing a beat says, " mom, how did you know his name?"

debonair

jason was in a wedding on saturday and jacob noticed his tux hanging in the truck.  he said "wow daddy!  you're going to be very debonair!"  i asked him what that meant, to see if he truely knew, and he told me it meant daddy would be well dressed and polite.  ;)  what a little smarty pants. 

jaydenisms

saturday, on a quick shopping trip, jayden was very quick to spot the sugar factory smokestacks.  with great excitement she noted... " mommy, look!  it's the cloud house!  the clouds come in and sleep then they eat their breakfast and go out."  what a cutie!
