this is sung, not said and the tune is the same as the awana cubbies song....so adorable!!

That is the kids prayer they learned at CAI. I love it, they love to pray at dinner time now and if we are out to eat and don't remember Jak is the first to correct us. Its so precious because he usually doesn't want people to hear him sing but when it comes to this prayer song he never forgets, just like elanor the elephant I guess, haha. yeah, so anyways, we were at mamaws apartment the other sunday and he said he didn't want to say prayer so dad started, well after Jak realized that papaw wasnt saying it the way that it was supposed to be done he interrupted the prayer and said his own...then hiccuped in the middle.

The kids just seem like they get smarter by the day....its crazy!!! Ashlyn is a genius, I swear. and BEAUTIFUL, those eyes get me almost every time....almost :-) She went on an adventure with her granny, mamaw and mommy today. we went to see Nutcracker. It was great!!! she was sooooo well behaved and fascinated by everything, espically the fairies:-) then she stated that she wants ballet lessons....we will see.
Her new fav pass time is being on the computer. I no loger have access to my laptop until after 9 pm lol. she loves playhouse disney.com and the cartoon network site. it craks me up because she knows how to enter a username and password that has been set up and if you try to do it for her....watch out!!!! she is her mothers daughter.

We had our Christmas party for PIP/Bethlehem saturday. it was soooo much fun!! everyone got all dressed up and it was just a great time. Santa even made a guest appearance. Ashlyn got a hannah montanna barbie that sings...drives me nuts but it will grow old in a month or 2. she got the song memorized after 3 minutes I tink....it took me a day lol. she loves to sing! Hopefully she gets up and sings at the christmas program on the 20th...we'll see. if not oh well. I would share some pics from the party and the kids but i am suffering from broken camera syndrome and hate to go spend more money on a camera right now but i feel lost with out one......i am tempted to do it but i have to look at the budget first...BOO! oh well, i guess i could always borrow the one from work......lol until i leave it at home and someone needs it and i get in super duper trouble for being irresponsible. i think ill spend the money :-)

well, i am ready for christmas. seeing the play at church made me anxious to see my family and share memories. it was soooo cute! i have to say it was weird seeing gary allen in the choir instead of leading....hmmmmmmm, different!

well, MERRYCHRISTMAS everyone!!!!

oh, something i forgot.....Jak is a total mommas boy. I LOVE IT! he would rather go shopping with me than hang out with the boys, go to mcdonalds, hang with papaw or even stay the night away from me. I have mixed felings about this right now....i love the fact that he want to tekt me as he would say (protect) but i mean, seriously, I wanna go to the tanning bed for 20 mins and he just cries and then i feel bad for leaving him at home with his daddy. call me selfish if you may but im going to go nuts if he does this for the next 18 years!! Ido have to say that i love it though...hes my lil man and hes a good boy. i shouldn't complain because in the next few years he probably won't think he needs me anymore...ok, i take it all back, forget my 20 minutes of me time and give me a bed full of stuffed animals, a bowl of popcorn and toy story movie 3x in a row mixed with a lil jak and i am in heaven :-)

thank you jesus for all you do, thank you god, AMEN!
