...phew! August is over! That month is always crazy!! Let's see... there's my sister's birthday, my parents' anniversary, Mat's birthday, and Jaedon's birthday... oh and my mother and father in law's big 50th anniversary bash! With the extra event this month, the birthday celebrations are spilling over into this month. We celebrated Jaedon's at Playwerx on Sunday and next we will be going to a fancy dinner to celebrate Mat's 40th! The fun never ends ;)
Mat and I were just talking about watching Jaedon's fun outgoing personality with his friends. It's so neat to see. He's friendly but not smothering. He's not too obnoxious... he just has this "isn't life GREAT?" kind of persona about him that is just magnetic! Mat is like that. And we think that Camryn may be following the same footsteps. :) She is a little more guarded with new people than Jaedon was/is... but she has her own little sense of humor developing! She likes to tease. Someone told me today that when they look at her they see commercials. :) Like that little girl in the juice commercial that is so excited about her grape juice. :) What a great compliment!
We took Jaedon to the bike shop today and I think she was more excited to be in there than HE was!! LOL!! She was going from bike to bike gasping and squeaking "ooooooo!!! oooooooo!!!! Look mommy!!! Look!!!" ...I really need to get it on video, because it's classic Camryn. :)
So... anyway, Jaedon got to pick out a new "big boy" bike. We bought one at Toys R Us when we got back from northern California, but the brake didn't work, and the tire was completely flat the day after I filled it! So I returned it and we went to a real bike shop to get him a REAL bike. It's great! It's a little lower to the ground than the other one which gives him (and me... hehehe) a lot more confidence. Look at him... doesn't he look big?? (He's on the original defective one... but you get the idea ;) I'll post another picture later.)
As far as his birthday party... he had SUCH a great time!!! From the moment we got there, he found his buddy, Megan, and they ran off into the play structure. :) So many of his friends were there! It was great!! He got some really neat gifts too! Some Lego sets, a remote control truck, some hot wheels, an I SPY game and book, a Spiderman car, a transformer, Mario Cart for the Wii, more tracks for his new Thomas set, a Wall E outfit complete with matching shoes, AND a Wall E remote control robot... that he absolutely ADORES!!! He has been taking his Wall E with him everywhere and has even slept with him the last couple of nights!
We've also been playing a lot of Mario Cart the last couple of days :) ... he actually didn't want to go pick out his new bike today because he wanted to play Mario Cart!! LOL
So thank you everybody for making his day so much fun!! :D ... I better get to bed and ramble more later... gnight!!
