Happy Thanksgiving

The boys had their Thanksgiving Feast at school today and sang Turkey songs for the parents, including the Turkey dance, aka the Chicken Dance. The boys both did a great job and sang most of the words.  Jax and I sat on the front row, and Jaxon found Jaeden after the first song and pointed to him and tried to get to him the rest of the time.  Jax was so excited to see his big brother. I of course forgot my camera, but probably would not have been able to take pictures while wrestling Jaxon anyways.  So I fortunately got a few when we got home and included their recent school work. They both made turkeys and had written what they are thankful for...

Jaeden's class wore Indian hats.  He's thankful for school, mommy, everything, house and daddy. Last year his turkey included orange juice, which he still NEVER drinks and gum.

Jayce is wearing his pilgrim hat. Jayce finally cooperated, although it wasn't easy trying to balance on the bench sideways with no hands!!  He's thankful for mommy, junie, grandpa, my bed and daddy.  The bed is funny, but his three favorite excuses heard daily are "I need to take a nap", "My belly hurts" or "I'm tired of walking"  They are all used to avoid work, and he's only 3!!!

Jaxon wasn't interested in showing his face. He's are own special Turkey!!

Random Funny Sayings and Doings....

Jaeden is always saying what he's going to be when he grows up, and it changes every hour.  Jayce continues to say he's going to be Darth Vader when he grows up, and that never changes.  Once while riding in the car, Joel asked Jayce if he was going to be Darth Vader when he grew up, and Jayce responded with "You got it Daddy!"  It was very funny.

The other day Jayce showed me his pjs with a little penguin on them, and said since it was my favorite animal, that he would give them to me when I was 2 or 3.  (Since that is when they would fit me of course!)

Jaxon understands soooo much, but still says little.  Once while sitting on the couch, we told the older boys it was time for scriptures, which of course they ignored, but Jaxon immediately got off my lap and went to the shelf with the scriptures.  I guess he'll be the example for the older two!! 

If I ask Jax, if he wants milk, he instantly heads for the fridge.  Tonight we asked him if he was hungry, and he went to his highchair and tried to get in.  He's not talking, but can clearly tell us what he needs.

Jayce is starting to learn his articles of faith and can now say the first 5.  I still don't believe that Jaeden was saying all 13 when he turned 3, and he still knows most with minimal prompting.

We asked Jayce who is favorite Star Wars character was, and he said "The ones that die" 

They have both been obsessed with Tom & Jerry since seeing the cartoon in the hotel while in DC.  They love to play Tom & Jerry together.  It has taken over, and replaced Dora.  Jaeden decided he was too old for Dora a few months ago, and this has taken it's place and stopped the morning fights about what to watch!


A random sweet moment, Jaeden was giving Jaxon a ride.  I have no idea what they were looking at, Jaxon pointed at something and Jaeden just copied him.

Happy Halloween!!

The boys had a blast trick or treating and trunk or treating!  I was horrible taking pictures and have waited to gather some from others so I could blog about halloween.  We had the church trunk-or-treat Saturday night, and the boys only hit half the trunks before getting tired.  I never thought Jayce would give up when candy was the goal.  I was shocked that Jaxon stayed dressed up all night.  Halloween night we went through my parent's neighborhood, and they had fun ringing the doorbells...

Jayce loves his Darth Vader helmet, and it's much easier to wear than the mask.  The helmet came from Jaeden's Darth Vader pinata at his party. 
For any additional pictures, you can see Jaeden's birthday party.  He was Obi Wan Kenobi, and Joel and I dressed up for truck-or-treat but not on Halloween.
