JAKE: Hello. I'm Jake. And I'm an addict.
(hello, Jake)
JAKE: I'm addicted to my pacifier. Last night was my first nights sleep without a pa-pa. It went ok. This morning I told my mama that imma big boy and not a baby. I think I made her happy. I'm taking this one hour at a time. It's not easy.

Funny Guy
Tonight's Dinner Conversation--
After seeing a commercial on TV about homeless children John and I have been discussing this issue for many moons...
Bringing up this conversation again John says to me, "Mom? The kids without moms and dads, their sad, right?"
"Right." I say. "Aren't you so lucky to have mommy and daddy to live with you and love you forever?"
"Yea. And you will always be here?" He asks.
"Yes, always, Son. Even when you are big and old like Taylor." I reply. Taylor is John's 2nd cousin (18 yrs old, just graduated HS,) who he refers to as big and strong and old and like a super-hero.
John says, "When I'm big like Taylor and I'm married?"
"Yes! When youre married, when you're older." I said.
"Mom, you promise you'll be there when I'm married? And Daddy too?"
John asked.
"Yes, Son, I promise I'll be there."
God willing, I will be there. John is so so so present. As if he just talked to God a few moments ago, he knows what's important. I love my tender little guy.

Did I Ever Tell You About The Time...
In the spring and summer of 2007, Mike took Johnny with him to the high school during football practice, to give me a much needed break from John. Jake was a little guy, just born in Spring 2007. (Who knew that taking care of a baby and a 18 month old would be a lot of work??) One day, after practice, John came home from the field covered from head to toe in mud. It wouldn't be the last time...

John Turns 4!
Yes, I know this was waaaaay back in November 2009. However, I was feeling guilty about having Jake's Batman Party blog, and no Johnny Spiderman Party blog. So...here it is--
All of Johnny's beloved cousins called in sick to the party. So we celebrated with our awesome neighbors and friends--Linda, Dan, Kyle, Laurie, and BFFs--Janell, Carson, and Hudson. We had a Spiderman pinata, Spiderman cupcakes, and Pizza. John had a great time.
Later, a lot later, Uncle Dave, Aunt Reyna, cousins Vicentio, and Nicolas came for an after-party. And what an after party it was!
The boys ate and ate and ate and drank and drank and drank and ran around like crazy boys and wrestled their little hearts out. Or, actually, wrestled their little guts out: all of a sudden, poor Nico puked out all of his pizza and orange soda onto our big chair, ottoman, and carpet. That was the end of the chair and ottoman. The smell didn't want to leave. It's funny...now. :)

Did I Ever Tell You About The Time...
...that Johnny and Jake decided to spread Desitin Creamy all over their bodies and faces and clothes and bedroom?
Desitin Creamy is diaper rash ointment. Waterproof=hard to clean up. After a roll of paper towels used, and clothes and a rug thrown away they were normal dirty little men again.
It's amazing how quickly this happened. I think they were alone for 7 minutes.
