Hee Haw

Jadon had the TIME of his LIFE, at this years' Harvest Party our church puts on.  It was so cool, they had a whole section for toddlers.   So fun!  They had a miniature bounce house with balls, a jumping thing, little tent things to crawl into, and a miniature jumping bounce house thing.  Jadon played continually without tiring!!  And they had a ton of stuff for bigger kids.  These pictures should be in the opposite order, but right now, nearly impossible to change...  The Harvest Party theme was Western, so Jadon dressed like a cowboy, of course the sinka-roo would not let me get a good picture in his hat!

Cookie Cutters

This is our attempt to make cookie cutter cookies with Jadon.  He thought the flour was cool and smashing the dough was fun!  The only problem we ran into was, I didn't check if we had any red food coloring to dye the frosting.  I have all the other primary colors, but no red.  So I added yellow and we read online for any red dye substitutes, we read pomegranate juice would work... and we had some.  Take my word, it does not work!  It just makes it a watery brownish color!  We were going to give the cookies away, but after the frosting incident...  later I thought, I just should have added cocoa and had "chocolate pumpkins".  

Jadon and the Petting Zoo!

Aren't piglets so cute!!!Cheesy Jadon Does this animal freak anyone else out?

We took Jadon to a corn maze, petting zoo, & pumpkin patch etc. He had a great time! He loves all the animals. He cried when we told him he could not kiss the animals!

Chef Jadon

Jadon is so much fun! He is getting to be such a good helper. Jadon recently helped me make cookies for his papa (my dad). My dad he diabetes so we make him "special" Splenda cookies. Jadon really enjoyed helping. Mostly he liked eating the chocolate chips, the mixer, and eating the chocolate chips! He is the sweetest boy!!! The recipe I use for my dad's cookies I realized doesn't have eggs, so you can let the kids eat the dough. There are not "Splenda cookies" we just replace most of the sugar with Splenda. So if you want to make cookies with you little ones and don't want to worry about giving them salmonella poisoning, try these!

These are really great if you have a problem with cookies getting to thin when you cook them. These stay very thick.

Jadon turns 1 1/2!!

Well our sweet little baby has turned a year and a half!  On October 9th Jadon turned a year and a half.  He is so old... so big...  We just got him new shoes for the fall and winter and they are huge, they are not baby shoes at all, they are at least like 5 or 6 inches long.  And I really probably I should have went with the next size up.   Well the day Jadon turned a year and a half, David happened to have the whole day off... which is always very fun!   So in honor of daddy's day off and Jadon getting older we had a fun morning relaxing at home, and then went to a park, and even made chocolate chip pancakes for dessert!  Here are some pictures of the park and daddy and Jadon doing the dishes for mommy!

Jadon's first breakfast burrito

May sound trivial to some, but this is a momentous occasion in our home.  Breakfast Burritos are one of David's favorite foods and specialties!  Recently he has learned how to make hash browns, to add to the breakfast burritos... yum!

Some pictures of our new house

I saw these on our memory card, here are a few pictures of our new house.  Later I will do a better job and post before/ during / and after photos.  This is the living room and dinning room.

Chili Cook-off

David is the most wonderful daddy in a million ways, but here is one of them:  Hiking up this enormous wobbly slide, carrying Jadon, to slide down with him.  Jadon was just awestruck, he had never seen, much less, played on anything like this!

We went to the Chili Cook-off again this year.  A fun event our church does every year.  Jadon was actually old enough to do some of the fun stuff this year!!!  Only downfall, it was Extremely Extremely HOT this day.  September 30th and over 95 degrees... yuck.
