My Heart Breaks...

For THIS family.

Pace Family Summer Fun

Summer has been very good to us!



We've enjoyed.....


A few amazing rainbows. I'm so lucky to live where I do!





Tea Parties on the deck with Ansley.






Sparklers




Ring-A-Round-The-Rosies on the trampoline



And we all fall down!




Swinging at the park

Playing in the mud, and most of it ended up on her head. I pulled up to Aunt Kami's to find this fun little surprise! I looked at Jaiden and said, "Really, Jaiden? Are you kidding me?" Then I asked Kami if she had lost her freakin' mind. She confirmed that she had not by letting me know she let her do it cuz she knew I would be back just in time to clean her up. Thanks Kam. Pay back's are a b*@#$!

These poles totally intrigued Jaiden.

Bithday dinner at my most fave place evAR - Benihana. Jaiden ended up loving it as much as I do!

Jaiden was rocking this Benihana Chef's Hat like it was nobody's business!

Yay! A ride on Dad's shoulders!



We went to the zoo. Most people go for the animals, but not Jaiden. Nope, her favorite part was the water ball and her very own slurpee!

Train Ridin'......

And carousel cruizin!

This giraffe was being a freak. It kept licking the walls with its two-foot-long-tongue. Then it would wrap that tounge all the way around his its chin. Jaiden was less than impressed. She kept giving it a "WTH?!?" look.

We played in the fountains at Gateway. Jaiden wasn't so sure about it at first, but when she came to grips with water shooting out of the ground randomly, she was into it. Hard.

We did some swimming. Mother-of-the-year here, forgot little swimmers. So, we did what every other parent would do.... taught Jaiden the song"I like big butts, and I cannot lie!" Yes we do, especially on this little cutie patootie!

This summer has definitely been one of the best yet! Jaiden is at such a fun age, and is full of personality, and, well - sass! We just love her to death!

More to come!

Tryin!!!!

The other day I was busying around the house and had asked Jaiden four times to stay out of the tool box in the laundry room. She wasn't minding me, so I told her it was time to go to the naughty corner. I picked her up to take her and she got a little mad/frustrated/pouting and said (with tears in her eyes) "Mom, tryin, tryin, tryin not freak out!"





I'm still not sure if she meant that she was trying to not freak out, or if she meant that she wanted me to try to not freak out! :) Hahaha

Kids really do say the darndest things! Man, she sure is fun!
