Joy's joy: Tons of Jake Jargon

I haven't updated since November. It's been a bit crazy. Being pregnant with Jake's little brother has been tough. But we are excited. Jake sings to the baby all the time and can't wait to teach him tons of stuff! So here is a blog update, hopefully I won't be so bad about keeping up in the next few months. :)

June-09: I was singing "God is so good" to Jake when he says "that makes me sleepy, God songs are good for going to sleep."

July-09: Jake was teasing the dog with a cookie, so we took it from him. He was crying saying, "But I like cookies!" So Brian said "I want you to stop thinking about how much you like cookies and instead think about WHY you lost the cookie and what you can do next time NOT to lose it." Jake replied, "BUT MY MIND IS TELLING ME SOMETHING DIFFERENT!"

August-09: I was very worried when Jake came up to me and said "I'm sorry I made your kitchen a mess, Mommy." There was mud from the back door to the bathroom sink...he had walked it several times!!

August-09: Jake came in from outside and announced "I pooped!" I asked, "In your pants?!" He gives me a look and says, "No! Outside!" So as I'm starting to tell him why we can't do that, he interrupts with "But Tango ate it! She LOVED it!" I thought I was going to throw up right there!! Ugh...

Septmeber-09: Today Jake was having a hard time getting his jeans buttoned, so he prayed "God, please help me button my pants!" and he immediately snapped them! So sweet!

September-09: "Dear God, Thank you for everything in this world, except MUD! (pronounced it muuuuuuuuud) AMEN!"

October-09: Brian burned his toe with the humidifier...really bad. While he was running cold water on it, Jake asks, "Are you OK, Dad? Is there smoke coming from your toe?"

October-09: I picked up a worm that was in the house and put it in the dirt because Jake was worried about it. "The poor worm can't dig mom!" A few minutes later and says "Hey Mom...I miss that worm..."

October -09: Jake and I were feeding animals at the pumpkin farm. Then took a hayride when I looked up and saw Jake with his bottom lip out and sad looking. I asked what was wrong and he sadly looked up at me and said "I miss the animals..." My heart melted

November 09: We were watching a speaker talk about America being a "beacon of hope" and Jake starts laughing like crazy and says "That guy said American is a BACON! That crazy guy!

November 09: I was playing knights with Jake. He playfully "hit me" with a big ball and when I pretend cried he said, "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" and leaned back with his hands on his tummy.

November -09: We were watching the news and stuff on the Ft. Hood funeral came on and then Obama came on. This was Jake's response (rant) to seeing "Orock Obama"...
"Don't listen to Orock Obama! Just turn your head when he talks. I'm gonna grow up to be a president and be a hero and not make people pay taxes...except soldier taxes!! And he'll say "Oh man!" and I'll get you a good job and you'll have to pay soldier taxes. And I'll be a policeman president and make Orock Obama go away! And I'll have a map that will tell me where he is! Because he is NOT good."

March -10: "I won't ever have a baby in my tummy." -Jake
"No, but you'll have a baby someday. Just like this baby is Daddy's too." -Joy
"Yeah, we share our babies around here." -Jake

April -10: "Dad, you lay your shoes on the floor. Mom, puts them away!" -Jake age 4.

April -10: "Mom, where the does the Easter Bunny live?" -Jake
"I don't really know, Hon?" -Joy
"Probably in a hole! A BIG hole. Cause he's big and bunnies live in holes!" -Jake

April -10: "So did you live in a castle a long time ago when you were a kid?" -Jake
"No Honey, I'm not old enough." -Joy
"Did Daddy then?" -Jake
"No Honey, Daddy's not old enough either." -Joy
"Then who?!" -Jake
"No one we know. " -Joy
Jake was sooo confused and I felt REALLY old! :)

April -10: "Easter is not all about yumminess! It's about Jesus and how he died for us and 3 weeks later, he rose from the cross!" Well, it's not perfect, but you get the message.
