Mother's Day
Last year I was saved by Credit Card man from having a Wii system. (see mother's day post from last year) Where were you this year credit card man?
This is only a sample picture. The real deal was twice as accessorized, complete with orange and pink balls, Jara ate. I think Jed was a little scared when I hit a target with deadly aim and then told him he got a ten second head start, so start running! (In case you were wondering paint balls are edible, they consist of vegetable oil and food dye.)
In all fairness, I did get a very nice picture frame and a care package on mother's day, otherwise, you probably would be seeing pictures of what I can do with a gun! (paint ball gun that is)

Innovation
Jara is highly innovative. Her two-year-old thinking abilities allow her to see outside the box way better than most adults. (Basically, she knows how to get her way, but every now and then she applies her talent in a broader sense.)
Here is what happens when you need a family car to go along with your doll house people. I only pray she has not participated in this in real life without my knowledge. (Which could be possible.)
Here is what happens when you can't find the other kitchen chair. Every woman's nightmare, every man's dream? Jara's exact words were "mommy, daddy eat dinner." Jed better not pull the pot up to the table to eat!

Great Eggspectations
Wheeler Easter Hunt...we had great eggspectations for Jara but alas, she was a very cranky pet! Notice the radiant look of anger on her face.
The boys on the hunt. Hmmm where is Jara?
Found her!
Ahh, finally, peace!!! (the kind only a sugar induced state will bring.)

Fairly Fun
Clark County Fair time-the rare time of year when I subject myself to things I would not otherwise do; unsafe sanitary conditions, merry-go-rounds and poking my fingers in animal cages. I live on the wild side!
We did have a "fairly fun" time, Jara is at a great age for discovering rides and highly entertained by her mother trying to pet bunnies through metal cages. Jed and I just like to EAT! Charlotte's Web is the classic "Fair" movie, every time I go to the fair I remind myself of Templeton the rat who binges. "Smorgasbord, smorgasbord" was ringing in my head yesterday as we consumed a meat BBQ sampler platter, a corn dog, ice cream, a sno-cone, funnel cake (classic) and a GIANT cinnamon roll. And to think we scaled back from last year.
Jara loved the kiddie rides, the variety that involve cars that go around in a circle. Logan kept her feeling safe and I think they were secretly holding hands. Thank you Brennan and Christal for providing the knight in shining armor, I'm pretty sure she would have NEVER got on the rides without him.
Overall, it was a great time and thankfully won't be back for another year! I can take all the chains off of random pieces of my property.
This ride was a little scary for Jara, but she made it!

Serious, intense driving face. She reminds me to be careful, so here is theory in practice.
The best source of entertainment the whole day!!!
Look, I'm so brave, I even took one hand off of the pole! Jara was yelling "yee-haw."
Our youngest fair goer, he actually slept the entire 4 hours we were there!

5 Years
April 2, 2004
Jed quoted "still alive after five." Yes, he is lucky he's survived five years of ME! hehehe All the most wonderful things in my life have happened in the last five years WITH Jed, he completes me! I love him for many things, here are a few I will share with you...
He shares nice, even though I do not reciprocate the sharing"ness"
He eats every disaster I set before him and always tell me it's "not bad." We stopped using the star system.
He lets me do whatever I want and even volunteers to watch children.
He likes me even though he knows what I'm capable of.
He watches chick flicks with me. (only minor complaining)
He is a good father and husband, and a hard worker.
He can juggle a million responsibilities and still be nice!
