J-Bird

I'm a very lucky woman to have him in my life. He truly is the most amazing husband anyone could ever ask for. I can honestly sit here and say that I married my best friend. We laugh almost constantly and when we do have a disagreement and some heated words.. we'll stop and then 5 minutes later we talk and act like nothing ever happened. He makes me feel loved, wanted and needed. He has stepped up and been the best dad to Kobe. The other day Kobe got in trouble and J took a toy from him. Well of course Kobe was upset and told J he was "the worst dad EVER" I was doing the dishes when this was all going on Kobe went to his room and slammed the door. I asked J what he said (to make sure I heard correctly) I stopped doing the dishes.. went into Kobe's room told him to come back to my bedroom cause we needed to talk.. He followed me to my room and sat on the bed and I explained to him how what he said was not acceptable and he needs to stop and think for a minute.. I explained how Jason has stepped in to be his dad and how he needs to remember ALL the things J does for him and how is biological "dad" isnt' even in his life.. basically just making him see the big picture. I told Kobe I thought he owed J an apology and then asked him if he thought he owed him and apology too? He was looking down and then looked at me with big ol crocodile tears in his eyes and shook his head yes. He told me he was embarrassed to tell him sorry.. I said well when you can get the courage then you need to do it. He came in the living room and laid on the floor by the chair J was sittin in and finally moved onto the couch and told J he was sorry for saying he was the worst dad .. It hurt MY feelings that Kobe said that.. Even though J said it didn't bother him. It did ME!

We even have the same views on parenting. In fact we have the same views on a lot of things. Religion, marriage, life, etc. We have the same goals for us. Which is nice. I feel I can't even express my love enough for this man. Even when I fold his laundry there is this feeling I can't even explain lol I tell him all the time I'm "crazy in love with him". He'll just smile and laugh.. not sure if he's blushing or thinks I'm crazy hahaha..

Weekend rewind..

This weekend was a good and relaxing weekend. I love spendin time with my guys! Although I'm a horrible sister-in-law since I TOTALLY spaced Amy's babyshower :( I LOVE baby showers and was looking fwd to this.. about 4 I was in the bathroom and Jason knocked on the door and said "weren't you supposed to go to a baby shower" ugh why am I such a space cadet??

 

Jason and my cousin Luke went rabbit hunting today and came home with 5 rabbits that they had to skin and cut up.. so since I always have to take pictures I grabbed my camera and snapped a few pics..

Right after this pic I got to see NASTY intestines.. Not what I was wanting to see.. lol They got 3 females and 2 males.. Kobe of course loved watching them skin the rabbits lol.

Jason promised Kobe that they could shoot his BB gun when he got back. He waited very patiently for Jason to get home.. in the meantime we made Volcanoes...

 2.5 hours later.. it was time to shoot the BB gun... I printed him some targets off the internet... he did a pretty good job and even shot the bulls eye 2 times!!

2nd Grading Period..

Friday Kobe brought home his report card for the 2nd grading period.. it was pretty much a perfect report card. I am one happy Momma!!! Even though they aren't "letter grades" they are still awesome. How awesome is it to see "M" which means Mastery-Knowledge of 100% Standard. Last grading period he had one "P" which means Partial Mastery-Knowledge of 50%-99% of Standard.. he brought that up to the "M" this grading period.. Whoop whoop!! He's such a smart cookie!! To smart for his own good sometimes..
Kinda sad to think that Kindergarten is halfway over *tear*...

  The other day he brought home a paper that had things associated with January on it, such as Winter, Ice Skates, Martin Luther King Jr. etc.. his hand writing was SO neat I was telling him what a good job he did on his paper and he says "OH! Mom! See that guys name on there?" Me-"Yes, Martin Luther King Jr." Kobe-"Yeh he's coming to our school to talk to us." lol I explained to him that wasn't possible and why then we got into a big discussion about it.. He is such an interesting kiddo, he really is. He's been watching a show on TV called "Dino Dan" now he is all interested in Dinosaurs.. Which I'm kinda glad. I think every little boy needs dinosaurs in their life. Although Kobe wants them to be roaming the Earth again so he can be like Dino Dan. I love than Nick Jr. has a show on like this.. Kuddos Nick Jr.!  Even though Kobe is into the whole Dinosaur thing he has found a "new hobby" his Diego walkie talkie can pick up truckers. He thinks they are talking to him and he'll carry on a "conversation" with them. He claims that one guy called him a "chicken Nip" hahahaha Oh this kid beings me so much laughter and joy... he's the BEST!!!!

Ringin' in the New Year

We rung in the new year the perfect way... With family (blood and non blood lol). Although some backed out on us at the very last minute we still had a good time and too much food.. But let me tell you kids + late bedtimes = lots of tears, fighting and whining lol Kobe is in his room tucked in his bed by no later than 8pm. well staying up to watch the ball drop got the best of him. But he made it and so did Mom.. lol I was up way past my bedtime too lol. Even tho I'm just 28 I am an old lady lol. I put my jammies on as soon as I know I don't have to go anywhere else for the evening. But we made it and had a good time.. We had lots of laughs, a few fights, lots of food and good company. Amanda brought a new board game that she bought called "Last Word" it was really fun.

 Olivia made cupcakes in her Easy Bake Oven :) She was so proud of them..

 We even let creatures in our house LOL this is what BumbleBee and The black Spiderman's baby would look like LOL

 Super Heroes were at OUR party... be jealous LOL

 This is the kinda love you have after almost 34 years of marriage haha

 "Last Word"

Ready to ring in the New Year

 They have their "Champagne" its actually Sparkling Grape juice..

 Counting down....

 Happy New Year

Mommy/Son date!

Kobe and I went on a mommy and son date Thursday morning. Although if you ask Kobe about our "date" he will correct you that it in deed was NOT a date. We just went to the movies LOL. Sheesh 5 years old and is too cool for a "Mommy/Son date" lol He sat so still and didn't move a muscle wouldn't even take his coat off. Didn't even try one morsel of popcorn (He had no idea what he was missin lol) not even one sip of coke.. FULL blown caffeinated coke. He sat there and didn't even change expression on his face.. I whispered to him "Do you like the movie?" I get a quick nod yes, he didn't even look at me... so I offered popcorn, coke, help to take his coat off.. and I got short quick nods of No.. So I let him be... Several times I offered popcorn and a drink and it was always nods of no.. Finally when the movie was about over I whispered again "Are you having fun?" He  turned and looked at me with this huge grin on his face and shook his head yes and then kept looking at me smiling..

 Doesn't he look like he's having fun LOL

As soon as the movie was over we walked out to the lobby and he asked if he could play some video games.. I told him I only have $1 cash so that's all he could play. He played 2 games and was content. As soon as we got in the van it was like a switch was turned on and I had my chatty Kobe back.. ate the rest of the popcorn we brought with us and drank the watered down coke.. and talked the WHOLE way home about the movie and all the parts in it.. I asked why he was so quiet in the theature and his response "Mom, your not supposed to talk in there." hahaha Love this child of mine :)

Christmas Vacation!

Kobe and I have been playing with his toys he got from Christmas... today we pulled out the Lincoln logs Uncle Adam and Anna got him. I requested those to be bought for Kobe.. He always takes the Jinga Blocks from the Jinga game and tries his hardest to build a house.. So I knew these would be perfect for him. He really studies the instructions to see how it's built.. he was so proud of the house we built :)

 We had a fun day playing and organizing his room so his new stuff has places to be put. Although later on in the evening he got into some trouble was sent to his room and was grounded from his Deer Hunter game.. this is the note I was left. "Kobe love Mom, Mom do not love Kobe"

He's a rotten egg lol

Its SNOWING!!!

Finally 2 days after Christmas it snows lol.. My weather bug on my laptop says 39* I can hear the snow melting lol.. Its that real heavy wet snow.. But good for making snowmen :) Kobe made his first ever snowman all by himself.. he was very proud!
