Bubbles and Softball

Today, we played outside with our colored bubbles that MiMi got Jaden for Easter! The first one I blew landed on Jaden's face and POPPED!!  ...It was green...

 NeNe came over and played in the pool, and blew bubbles.

They sat around and played in the dirty basketball goal water, instead of the clean pool water! YUCK!

We were getting ready to go to Brad's softball game, and I looked out the door, to see Jaden sitting quietly at the picnic table playing with his beach toys.

Brad, Bryan and Boop Boop both had a game at 6:15 tonight, so MiMi, Pops, MeMaw and D-Daddy had to watch 2 games.

Jaden was handing the umpire some dirt, for the game!

After Mr. Gunter gave Jaden a sucker, he was being so sweet and offered D-Daddy a lick!

CHOM

Today we went to CHOM for the first time! I haven't been there since I was like 5! I had SO much fun! of course Jaden did to. We joined Asheley and Teagan in a class that was so cute. I think Teagan loved it more than the older kids. Here are a couple of pictures from our fun afternoon!

Potty Training... Live and Learn

No pictures today y’all...

Things to remember:

1. Don’t start potty training when your child is on an antibiotic...

2. Just because you JUST changed a poopy diaper, does not mean your child won't poop again in 5 minutes...

3. NEVER leave your child alone...especially with no pants on...

4. NEVER pick your child up immediately when he enters the room you’re in...with no pants on...after being alone for a couple of minutes.

5. NEVER walk around the house barefoot...

6. ALWAYS have the potty in the room with you. Running to go get it when your child has to go, does NO good.

7. When your child is standing beside you, holding neosporin, and you think he’s saying “boo boo” , look behind him... He probably said “pooh pooh”.

8. Have LOTS of patience and paper towels!!

I’m so glad Jaden only knows how to count to two. He wants “two” of everything.

2 Browby (Brownies)

2 M&Ms

2 MehMeh (Medicine)

2 Bites

2 Mehmint (Peppermints)

2 tees (when brushing his teeth)

2 Juice (if he sees 2 cups in the fridge)

2 pappys (pacifiers)

I'm so blessed to be able to stay home with Jaden. I'm not pushing him to potty train, yet. I'm just going to let it go, and have fun with it!! 

I must say congratulations to Jaden's friend Daisee, who used her potty today!

A Day

Today I started the day by helping out with a garage sale hosted by Aimee Cowart and Jessica Sentell, from our sunday school class. The proceeds are going to help The Brown House/Blue House missions, and also to help some college kids that are wanting to go on mission trips this summer. I had to leave early because Jaden was running a high fever, but I think we did pretty good on the sale! Thank you Aimee and Jessica for a great morning!! :)

Today was also the A-Day game!! We could not have asked for more perfect weather! It was like a fall Alabama Football kind of day!

Here are some pictures, from what went on...

Thank you Nana and Papa Joe, for bringing supper!!

Jaden is so blessed to have two sets of loving grandparents!! Brad and I love you!!  Thanks again! :)

Cars

Today was a YaYa day!

YaYa was trying to be sweet, but Jaden was in now mood for hugs. I let him give me a hug though! :)

Who do you think goes faster?

"Been farming long?"

"I can go faster if I just push the car!"

Our garden is growing so big!

When YaYa left, we went to Midtown. On our way there, we saw a car turned on its side at the intersection of Hackberry and 15th Street. Scary. It's sights like this that make me want to keep Jaden at home, in his room, away from harm. I don't know the story behind what happened, here. Looks like they may have been driving too fast...

This is the article about the wreck.

Notebook: McElroy lends a hand

Talk about it in Talk of Champions

TUSCALOOSA | Greg McElroy's initial plans for Wednesday looked like this:

1) Workout for New York Giants
2) Lunch
3) Golf

Helping an automobile accident victim wasn't on the list, but somewhere between a round of passes for the NFL's Giants and a round of golf at NorthRiver Yacht Club, that's exactly situation in which the former University of Alabama quarterback found himself.

McElroy and former Alabama walk-on quarterback Chris Vines came upon an overturned car at the intersection of 15th Street and Hackberry Lane around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, and stopped to aid a young female who was trapped in the car at one of Tuscaloosa's busiest intersections.

"When we got up there, there was still a girl in the car, and it was on its side. She's standing through the passenger-side window, and her feet were through the driver's-side window,' McElroy said. 'We just pulled her out. The guy driving the car helped too. But it's not something you want recognition for. That's something I think anyone should do. It's not like I had anywhere pressing to be, or had any type of appointment. I had nothing but time. I wouldn't have been able to look myself in the mirror if I hadn't stopped and tried to help and see if there was anything I could do."

McElroy said they first attempted to open the door, but the door had been the point of impact and was jammed shut, requiring them to pull the victim through the window. Paramedics and a fire truck were on the scene shortly after. McElroy said the girl appeared unhurt.

"She was shaking, really quivering, and obviously really scared,' McElroy said. 'But once we got her out she calmed down a little."

From there, McElroy and Vines headed to the course, arriving 10 minutes late for their tee time, where McElroy shot a 49-42-91.
It wasn't the best of rounds, including an eight on a single hole on the front nine, and a pair of triple-bogeys. But earlier in the morning, the round that counted most turned out significantly better.

"I'm throwing the ball confidently, spinning it good. Accuracy and velocity have been good as well,' McElroy said. 'I haven't had any concerns or complaints and I've been pretty well-reviewed up to this point."

McElroy had commitments from nine NFL scouts and coaches for his personal workout on April 5, but due to weather conditions that canceled flights, only representatives from the Seattle Seahawks attended. Since then, McElroy has traveled to Dallas to work out for the Cowboys, and hosted the Philadelphia Eagles (Tuesday) and Giants (Wednesday) for workouts in Tuscaloosa. He's also met with the Miami Dolphins for an interview, but has no further workouts scheduled.

"The Steelers, the Colts, probably three or four teams called just to confirm my draft-day phone number and ask me some personal questions,' McElroy said. 'But as far as workouts go, nobody has scheduled another one with me going forward. I think teams are in their draft meetings already and trying to get organized."

Various draft services have projected McElroy as anywhere from a fourth- to sixth-round draft choice.
