Photo Contest

Everyone has seen those contests they run in magazines. You know the ones where they show you a picture and you are supposed to think up a caption for it?

Well, here you go! The winner (chosen by a panel of highly qualified judges) will receive a special gift from ME!
Contest entries must be received by Monday, March 2nd.

Good luck!

Love, J

I am Totally Two

Yes, you read that correctly. I am totally a two year old. Cute, sweet sometimes, quite funny...and two.

I just wanted to remind everybody who reads this of a few things:

• I LOVE you all. Family, friends, friends of friends...I love you all and I'm thankful to have such a wonderful group of people around me.
• I'm still asking for prayers for my cousin. We don't have any updates yet, but prayers are much appreciated.
• I like to pee in the pool. I announced this to mom-mom yesterday at swimming and she told me to shut up, and that announcements were not necessary. Sorry to anyone who swims with me (Jack and his mommy)...

Love, J

In a Hurry...

Me and mom-mom are in a hurry to get to swimming this morning. We slept in VERY late today (both of us did!) and now we are shoving some waffles in our mouths and heading out the door.

Even though I am being rushed, I still am able to pose for the camera!

Here's "happy":

And here's "sad":
(Note: I am not actually sad in this picture...I am pretending to be sad.)

Have a great day!

Love, J

Mom-mom and I have been playing out in the yard all morning. Sorry we didn't post earlier today, but we were VERY busy. We had to throw the toys for the dogs, feed the fish, throw rocks at them, chase the chickens...so many things to do!

Have a great day!

Love, J

The Feast

Last week, we posted about our eggs. Well, now we are posting about FRIED EGGS!

Daddy cooked our eggs on Saturday morning for breakfast. They were delicious, and I ate FOUR.

I am such a good helper. It's great that I figured out how to use a stool to reach more stuff on the counter. Now I can help myself to whatever I want (when mom-mom isn't looking).

Yum!


In other exciting chicken news, we figured out that it really was only one chicken laying all of those eggs. Mom-mom found a weird shell-less egg on Saturday morning, and daddy saw the black chicken go into the nest on Sunday morning. When we checked it out, there was an egg! And it is a different color from the ones we already had...more blue. Very exciting.

We promise, we won't talk about chickens for a while now.

Today we are thinking of cousin Ken and Aunt Kelly, and we are adding Auntie Lindsay and Uncle Mick to our list, too. Auntie Lindsay goes back to work tomorrow and we know she's sad to leave baby Carleigh...but we know they will both be just fine! And Uncle Mick ended up in the ER yesterday after suffering from a kick ball injury. (Go ahead. Laugh. We did.) Nothing life-threatening, but separated shoulders are definitely no good. Feel better soon!

Have a great Monday!

Love, J

Pants Off Dance Off

Again, I have no pants on...

I am learning the words to LOTS of songs and will be presenting them over the next several weeks. I am taking requests, as well.

Since today is Friday, I want to wish everybody a good weekend. Please keep my cousin Ken and also my Auntie Kelly in your prayers. Kelly's Gramma passed away and we know she is sad.

Love, J

EGGS!

While we were on vacation last week, something very exciting happened at our house.

Remember those silly chickens that we have? Well, they started laying EGGS! Me and mom-mom aren't too sure if they are both laying eggs or if it's just one, but it is very exciting. I help mom-mom get the eggs in the morning when we feed the chickens. We are saving them up for the weekend and then we are going to have a big egg breakfast with daddy!

Here's the egg in the nest.

Here I am doing the quality check. Mom-mom doesn't understand why this must be done without pants.

"It's a good one!"

No, no. Don't eat the egg yet.
And here are the eggs we've collected so far (minus the three broken ones that we threw out).

And to answer the most common question: We don't know. Everyone asks what color they are...they are kind of a brownish-greenish color. Like if you took a white egg and quickly dipped it into ALL of the Easter egg dyes. Maybe they will change color over time, maybe this is just the color they will be. Maybe only one chicken laid all of these eggs (they are all exactly the same) and the other will lay different ones. We'll see!

A note on the "no pants" thing...I have recently decided that I do not like to wear pants. At all. Last night mom-mom said I had to wear pants for dinner, so Darren helped me put some on. As soon as I was finished and got down from my seat, I announced that it was time for "PANTS OFF!" Fantastic.

Everybody have a good day today! Sorry we didn't post anything yesterday, but we were much too busy. We went to our swimming group in the morning and I got to see my new friend Jack and play in the water. I came home and covered myself in mud (quite literally from head to toe), took a bath, then took a 3 1/2 hour nap. Doesn't leave much time for blogging, I'm afraid. But, I did want to wish my Aunt Candy a Happy Birthday!!! I hope she had a wonderful day. And I also wanted to remind my cousin Ken that we love him and we're thinking about him. Big hugs!

Love, J
