Dad will probably win.
Jaxon is the worlds #1 best staller. I gave him the tiniest portion of black bean soup for dinner tonight (becuase he had already eaten an apple, two pieces of toast, a string cheese, and a fruit snacks, which I was totally okay with) and he had to eat it. He stalled for I don't even know how long, and I had HAD IT! After dinner we would still have had about an hour of family time before bed time, and I got so mad that I told Jaxon that if he didn't finish his soup in 3 minutes, Dave and I were going to play Shoots and Ladders without him.

Jaxon Tells Jokes
Jaxon is really into telling jokes that he makes up himself. The jokes make no sense, but since Dave and I are adoring parents, and he has no older siblings to squash his budding talent, we laugh like maniacs at all the nonsensical jokes he tells.
Tonight Jaxon told a joke that I thought was hysterical!
"Dad, if you were a chicken, your name would be Chicken-Stein, you know...like FRANKENSTEIN, but CHICKENSTEIN, cause you're a CHICKEN! GET IT? CHICKEN? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Come on, you laughed!

PS- Here's an oldie but goodie....just because I think he's so darn cute!
Check one off the BUCKET LIST!
I don't know why, but a few weeks ago Dave I and were talking about our Bucket lists. I'm happy to say that I lead a fairly happy and fulfilling life, therefore, there aren't too many life shattering things I feel I HAVE To do before I die. I've had a lot of really cool, unique, lucky, and blessed opportunities....so most of my bucket list items weren't that big...in fact my number 1. and number 2...Dave totally laughed at!
So later that week I told my dear friend (and running partner) about my bucket list items to see if they were as absurd as Dave thought! Well...she laughed too...but not so much at me, as at the items!
Fast forward...today (Wed. the 5th) Sherry took me out for a my birthday lunch. We had the most delicious and healthy meal at Pomegranates, a whole and raw foods restaurant.....for anyone who thinks it's impossible to eat healthy, and eat deliciously...go to POMEGRANATES and be prepared to be proven WRONG!!!! Anywho, after lunch we went to our big SECRET activity---
MY BUCKET LIST NUMBER ONE!!!
I GOT TO DRIVE A SMART CAR!!!!!
(Are you, like Dave and Sherry, laughing at my bucket list???? It's okay, I don't mind a bit!!!)
Unfortunately, you have to take one of their employees with you, and since there is no backseat, Sherry had to wait at the dealership for us to finish. Mr Smart Car Man drove first, and showed me how the "Automatic Manual" transmission works...(Don't worry, no shifting necessary!) then we pulled over in a deserted, partially hidden, darkish parking lot behind a Fry's to switch places. If he hadn't seemed like an upstanding young chap, the whole thing would have been a little creepy...
So, I got behind the wheel, and VIOLA!!! Bucket list #1- DONE! It was very roomy, and sits quite high up! You can't actually tell your driving a puney little car at all!
Well, Sherry had directions to bucket list #2....but unfortunately I had to be back to be home when Jaxon got home from Preschool, and we ran out of time to make it to the Segway Store, to test drive a SEGWAY!
Now come on, isn't that the coolest birthday present ever?
PS- when we were getting ready to take our test drive, we were headed for a sensible little blue Smart Car, and Sherry said to Mr. Smart Car, "REALLY? She can't Drive the HELLO KITTY one parked out front?"
Mr. Young Chap said, "Sure!" and went and got those keys!
What a memorable birthday, and guess what? I still have a delicious, delicious, DELICIOUS raw chocolate macaroon to eat later!
THANKS SHERRY!
Although no words are really necessary....
I will say a few....
Jaxon saw me working on some clients pictures in Photoshop, and got the jist...that it could be a lot of fun!!! We spend almost an hour making monsters out of everyone we know and love, but these were his very favorites!

Overheard in Preschool Carpool
(THE SCENE: Jaxon showing Brailyn his missing tooth....)
Jaxon: "I lost my tooth!"
Brailyn: (sadly) "WOW! I never even lost one tooth!"
J: "Has anyone ever knocked one out? That's what happened to me. My cousin knocked it out."
B: (sadly) "No...no one has ever knocked one of my teeth out."
J: " Well...maybe my cousin would knock one of your teeth out for you!"
B: "Maybe....that would be so so great!"
Seriously, I love these kids!

The Day after my Birthday
I promised myself, and any of you stragglers who are still dutifully (thank you!) checking to see if I will ever post, to blog more. So here it is-
Noteworthy-
1. Yesterday was my birthday and Facebook makes me feel special! I got so many great birthday wishes from people who, lets be honest...would never have known without the helping hand of Facebook! I got a Kindle case and a Kindle store card, and a Take Five bar (YUMMY....but Dave guilted me into sharing...BOOO!!) Delicious dinner at my parents with my favorite people in the world, my family! Otherwise, celebrating your birthday on Fast Sunday (which I do every 7 years or so...) kinda stinks...just saying.
2. One of Jaxon's New Year's resolutions was to "Jump on the Trampoline to get bigger muscles" (Can you tell we let him make his own resolutions?...I won't tell you the others... )
Anyway, when asked tonight in Family Night about how he is doing...he gave himself a "thumbs sideways." He didn't get a "thumbs down" because he IS jumping more. But he didn't get a thumbs up, because there is no visible change in his muscles! HAHA!
3. Today is the first day of rededication to healthy eating and healthy body. The difference this year is that "healthy" does not mean "Low calorie and completely or almost totally made up of chemicals" I am trying to go natural, unprocessed, and raw as much as possible. I am not a crazed lunatic, I don't judge anyone who enjoys a delicious steak (as I do...) and I do eat a little meat, but I have to be honest, I am reading THE CHINA STUDY, and I promise, it will change your life. I won't preach (BUT PLEASE READ IT!!!)
4. On New Year's Eve, Jaxon got his tooth knocked out rough-housing with his best friend, partner in crime, and Cousin- Oakley. Totally accidental, not a big deal ...but Jaxon talks about it, his tooth, his cousin, etc... A LOT right now. Tonight he said, "Mom- you know the two best things about losing my tooth?"
"1. That Oakley said sorry, and 2. He shared some papers with me!" Ahhhh to have the heart of a child!
5. Humm...what else? Tonight in Jaxon's prayers he thanked Heavenly Father that we don't have "Ugly Blankets" on our beds...and I will leave you with that parting thought, maybe you ought to be more grateful for those gorgeous bedspreads huh?
