Tuesday with Cousin Luke!

Today we went to Nana and PaDan's house, to play with Luke! Spencer, and Parker came too, and we all had the best time!

Boys, being boys!

Sweet Jaden

Eating plums off the ground. They were SO good. Doing this, reminded me of Nana and PaDan! 

They would have been so excited for us to be playing in their yard

 The "Anders" boys

Going to look at the BIG garden!

Ready to GO HOME!

Jaden and Mommy

Jaden going to see the horses. The colt bites, so we didn't get too close to him!

Spencer and Dana petting the big horse

 Luke and Jaden, playing with the water hose

Luke, taking a break on Atticus! Atticus was such a good dog today!

Jaden was thirsty!

Spencer took a bite of a banana pepper, and I about fell of the swing! His expression was priceless! 

I guess he was thinking it was going to taste like a banana. 

I asked him if he needed some water, and he said "No, it just tastes sour!"

We had so much fun today Dana!! Hopefully we can have a lot more play dates this summer!

Memorial Day Weekend

The past weekend has been so much fun!

Friday, we went to the Alabama Softball game with MeMaw and D-Daddy. We won, and Jaden had a great time! Thank you MeMaw and D-Daddy for inviting us to go!
Friday night, Brad went to a Men's Conference at Zidon Avisha, (A beautiful place to visit!) and Jaden and I went to Nana and Papa Joe's farm to spend the night! Nana Fagan was in town too, so it was a special treat!

Jaden and Papa Joe on the morning tractor ride before breakfast.

Dad planted 2 fields of cotton, just for me! Thanks Dad!! I LOVE it! :)

Off the tractor, ready to eat!

Jaden, Dad and me riding the 4-wheeler to the "beach"!

Jaden and Papa Joe posing in front of a barge

The Farm Beach!!

Walking down to the river, to throw rocks

Jaden's feet kept sinking in the mud, and he didn't like it!

Jaden in Papa Joe's hands, (with muddy feet!)

Nana Fagan, Nana and Jaden. 

Jaden would get dirt on his finger and put it on momma. 

It was so funny!

Jaden with the grands, and great-grands

Momma and Nana Fagan, relaxing

Learning early how to work with tools!

 Jaden threw dirt in the air, and it got in his eyes. 

Nana made it better though :)

That's right! I hit the target TWICE!

Mr. P.E. himself, Scott Anders.

Today, we went to MeMaw and D-Daddy's pool with Clay, Amanda and Clayton. Brad grilled some delicious hamburgers, and we swam for about 3 hours, then went home to take naps!

Uncle Bryan painting Jaden's fingernails...

Jaden puts his hands in his mouth so much, that I don't want him to start biting his nails or get so many germs in his mouth, so I bought the "Thum" polish. It works wonders!

MiMi, Pops, Boop Boop and Bryan came over tonight for grilled salmon. 

Jaden is showing them how he drives Miss Jessie around. He loves his tractor! 

I just wish we could figure out how to get the radio to work...

Eating some GOOD watermelon for dessert!

Jaden found 2 of my bobby pins, and kept putting them in his mouth. I told him that if he put them in his mouth one more time, he was getting a spankin. Being the "smart" little boy he is, he put it ON his mouth, so as not to get a pop! haha

We have had a great Memorial Day weekend. Thank you to all of the military who have served, and who are currently serving our country now!

Great Times!

On the way to Nana Fagan's house, for her Church's Homecoming. Jaden was taking a great nap with all his Toy Story buds!

When we got to Nana's house, we found that she had 2 kittens!

Jaden held them very carefully...

very carefully...

This was his first time to hold kittens, and he LOVED it.

He found their ears, noses, eyeballs, and mouths

 Chillin with Nana Fagan.

Playing baseball in the front yard

He never misses it!

Sleepy boy, on the ride home.

On the way home, my dad said "Ashley, I think Jaden has some Eric in him..."

Jaden was just sitting there holding Papa Joe's ear! (Since I was little, Eric's liked to play with people's ears)

Monday, everybody came over to cook for Eric's birthday.

Here, Spencer is taking Jaden on a wild ride!!

"Cool Jaden" with his spiked hair, cowboy boots and sunsuit, riding his tractor!

Jaden and Papa Joe enjoying a homemade popsicle 

All the men outside grilling. Brad acting natural...   

Jaden riding his tractor around, with a little shade.

On Tuesday, Jaden showed me yet again, that he likes putting things in his "popet" (pocket) (aka down his shirt)  Here, Jaden has Brad's "winter socks" in his shirt...

Here, Jaden has the "Nose Sucker" in his shirt...

After lunch with Brad, we stopped by Dirt Cheap and got prizes! A Buzz umbrella for 90 cents (retail $9), and a Jessie doll for $7 (retail $34.99)!

Wednesday was YaYa's last day, so we went to CHOM!!

Nana had a great time in the "hurricane machine"!!

This will be real life in about 15 years!! :(

Maybe they'll be driving to doctor school!!

They LOVED music today!

After a while, they got tired and both wanted to sit with Nana!

Last night, Spencer, Nana and Papa Joe spent the night with us!! 

Spencer picked a cucumber, a squash and a pepper!

This morning, we made blueberry pancakes, and bacon. Aunt Ish came over, and we took a walk with Nana, Spencer, Jaden and me. After the walk, Spencer and Jaden ran around with popsicles until they were so hot and tired!

Then we dressed up like Woody and Buzz, and watched Toy Story 3! (Only for about 15 minutes, and Jaden was ready for his nap, and Spencer had to go home.)

We've made some great memories with friends and family this week!!
