Hey Vay it worked!

Thanks to Vaylene's help now my readers no longer have to stare at the same background month after month and wonder why I don't change it. Well the truth is I just learned how to do it. I am not incredibly computer savvy when it comes to this blogging thing so I call Vay whenever I mess my blog up. Every time my background on my blog changed it was because I had her hack into my blog to change it. I also have had her fix my blog when things go haywire. So if anyone has any computer problems her number is ...... (well I better not get on her bad side-she knows my password) whenever I have computer problems she always saves the day! Thanks Vay

Hey does anyone know how to change the Title color? Orange just isn't working with the Valentine theme!

Embarrassing!

So yesterday at church I had an embarrassing moment. It was sacrament meeting and as usual I was out in the foyer with Aiden because he was rambunctious and wouldn't stay by us. The quicker he could get away from me the funnier it was. So I took him out in the foyer and a few moments later Matt brought Jake out too. Usually when Jake is bad I find an empty room put him in a corner for "time out." Then Matt plops down on the couch and Jake starts playing with the shovels and rock salt that are near the door. So I am taking the shovels away from Jake when Aiden bee lines it through the sacrament room. He runs all the way across and out the other door so I have no choice but to chase him. Once I am accost to the other side Jake sees me and yells "TERESA" at the top of his lungs. (That was Matts cue to grab him). But no, he then runs across to me. Of course every one thought it was funny. Many people have told us that our kids make sacrament very entertaining. So the next 20 minutes were spent in the nursery trying to kill time. On our way back to the meeting I see that Matt is passed out asleep on the couch. So I took the kids back to our seats and did the single mom with two kids thing. It was a crazy day and I totally didn't get ANYTHING from that meeting. I guess Matt didn't ether because he was asleep!

Jakes First Day Sking

Sometimes when I go skiing I see 3 year old kids trying to ski and I am just blown away that they are trying to ski. I think that it is so cute. Well this was Jakes first change to WOW everyone. Matt had a free pass to the Canyons and decided to take Jake. It ended up being just $10 bucks to rent Jakes ski equipment. Matt wanted to take Jake just to see how he liked it. I thought either two things would happen: he would LOVE it or say "I want to go bye bye." He ended up saying "I want more." He also had a hard time with waiting in line for the chair. He would through a mini tantrum and say "I want more." I guess more skiing, who knows. When they were on the chair lift he would see people wreak and he would say "ugh oh" and when he would ski with Matt he kept saying "wee." Matt skied with him by holding underneath his arms and had Jake between his skies. The original plan was to take him on 2-3 runs but he ended up staying the entire day. By the end of the day he fell asleep on the gondola. I am so glad that he had fun with his dad.
I have decided to get Jake tested on his speech just becuase I am a perinoid mom. I feel like he isn't learning new words as fast as he should. It doesn't help that I watch 2 other little boys in my daycare that are actually younger than him that are way more vocal than he is. People have told me that he is just fine, I just want to be sure. Jake understands everything that I say, but when it comes to repeating words he just says "da". Da this da that. He really isn't trying very hard. He is just really slow when it comes to talking which makes it really hard on Mom and Dad because he is almost 3 and it is still like we are trying to communicate with a 2 year old. For example

"Shoe shoe shar": car, truck, tractor

"Shoes": this is for shoes and juice, sounds exactly the same
'Teresa": Mom and Dad, he doesn't call us mamma or dada he calls us both Teresa

Diddy: cat

Bobo: dog

Neigh Neigh: Aiden

So we are really frusterated becuase it is really hard to communicate with him. It would just be nice to have a conversation with him.
