Coronado and my cousin's wedding!

We had so much fun in Coronado and it was great to see all my mom's side of family-the Moseley side. We had a great time staying at the beach the week after, although it was a sad time at the ocean. Jake talked for weeks about "surfing the perfect wave" in his wetsuit...he was so scared of the ocean he wanted no part! That made me so sad because I have such fond memories of playing in the ocean as a little girl, but I try to remember that he's only 3 so I'm sure (I hope?) it will get better each time!

 

 

 

The Latest Jake-isms (and a few Sam-isms too)

Me: Jake! Mia's baby brother was born!
Jake: Out of her TUMMY!?
me: no, out of her mommy, Amy's tummy.
Jake: Woah. That's WILD!
-------
Jake walking up the ladder to his bed, complaining of bedtime says, "I'm not a sleeping guy, I'm a wake-up guy"
-------
Me: Jake, don't lock your brother in your room
Jake: (kindof under his breath) That's what big boys do, we lock our brothers in.
-------
My sister Amy took Trey inside to discipline him when we were playing outside in the water this morning and Jake said to my mom and I, "he has a BAD attitude!" We both tried really hard not to laugh. He wasn't though, he was serious!
-------
I told Jake to sit in his room and not come out until he could have a happy heart (about who knows what that time) and he says from his room crying, "this is NOT cool!"
-------
Last night at dinner Jake was trying to scoop the noodles (not the vegetables) out of the serving dish but the noodles kept sliding around. He said, "cummon...come to papa!"

...And the wonderful word Sam picked out of ALLLLLLL the words he hears Jake say: "BUTT!!" He uses it whenever he wants to get Jake to laugh or me worked up. Usually in the car driving.

On an upnote he has also learned "Jesus". Whenever I sing "Jesus loves me this I know..." he rocks side to side and chimes in everytime it gets to "Jesus". Very sweet.

Oh other funny thing he's doing with words...he says the last part of many words like...he says the part in bold
(di)nner
(good)night
(spider)man(mickey)mouse
(my) TURN! (while screaming at Jake usually)
those are the most common ones but the list goes on...is that normal? I don't remember Jake doing that.

Jake's crafty work

I have come across a handful of hilarious works of art lately so I've been trying to capture them on film. The clips on the pennies was from my craft supply that is off limits, so that's why he did it "hiding" under the kitchen table. Then of course Jake is removing the penny from Sam's mouth as I'm busy photographing :). Another was I pulled the blueberry muffins out of the oven and found Matt's hairspray lid sunken into one of the muffins. THERE it is! We were looking for it! Not sure when and how he intercepted inserting it before I put it in the oven without me noticing...
Then there's the peanut butter side of the sandwich pasted to the wall. He wanted to take credit for that one in the pic. He only likes the jelly side of the sandwich lately. Hmmm...maybe has to do with switching to natural pb without sugar!
Another one that caught my eye that I don't have a pic of is he used yogurt from breakfast, pasted it on the back of several crackers and pasted them across the pages of a book.
I feel like it's impossible to remember to write each hilarious comment down because they are constant right now but some funny quotes lately that stick out:
Every morning since Matt told Jake 5 weeks ago :) that we were going to the beach,Jake comes in with his song/chant/dance: "I -WANT-TO-GO-TO-THE-BEACH!"over and over with hip gyrations forward and back
(Jake modeling his wetsuit for every visitor, but to my mom who says) "Jake, where are you gonna wear that wetsuit!?" Jake throws his hands turned up in the air and says, "TO SURF THE PERFECT WAVE!" He think he's a surfer and a skater, thanks to our friends Jen and Christian who take him on their board when we come over!
Me: What do you want for lunch, Macaroni and cheese? Jake: No, I'm not interested in Macaroni and Cheese.
After church last week, "Jake do you want QDoba for lunch or Paradise Bakery? Jake: I ABSOLUTELY do not want Paradise Bakery!
Jake: Mommy, you are my best friend in the whole wide...city" (gee, thanks!)
Sam was fussing in the car, Jake calm and collected says, "Sam, stop fussing or I'll have to spank you when we get home." ( He has NOT heard me say that by the way!)
