Here is a video of Jaden on the slide. We put a mat at the end of it so he would have a soft landing. It doesn't have any sound which sorta bums me out. He was laughing and everything which would have been nice to have on the video as well. Oh well.
Oh, and tonight while Julie was upstairs doing something, I was down in the basement with Jaden and we were playing with his toolbox that counts. Well, I pushed a button that made the thing say one and then right after that Jaden goes on to say two and three. I was so excited. I yelled for Julie to come down so that I could show her. It was so cute. I was so excited that I was able to hear Jaden say something for the very first time!!

Back again....We'll see...
Where to begin? Well, Jacob and I celebrated our one year anniversary at the end of January. We took that time to reflect back on the year we had together, where we have come from since then. We went to Olive Garden first for lunch. I love going to Olive Garden and having their Zuppa Toscana soup. I could eat that stuff by the bucket loads! We then went bowling and played five games. I beat him three to two games. He claims that he let me win. I don’t think so. I can’t quite remember what we did after that. I think we went downtown to Pioneer Place and went shopping and saw a movie. I don’t remember. Oh, but I do remember the reason why we went downtown is because we went to Macaroni Grill for dinner. I got something new there and it was delilious. Jacob wasn’t thrilled with what he got and wanted mine but I wouldn’t let him! :)
Julie and Nathan has moved in the house with Jaden in the fall I believe. They moved into the basement. That was working out for a while except that my room was right above where Julie and Nathan were sleeping. I am a night owl and love to stay up at night. That was not working out for them because they could hear everything that I was doing upstairs. I was getting yelled at practically everyday because I was doing things that I have always done before they had moved in. Well, around Christmastime, we decided that I would move down to the basement and Julie, Nathan and Jaden would move into the two bedrooms upstairs. That has been working out good so far. I am able to stay up as long as I want without having to worry whether or not I am being to loud. My room is starting to feel like everything is coming together. I feel as if I need to buy everything new just because I had moved into a new room. I don’t have anything up on my walls yet, but when I do, my room is going to look good. It has been an ineresting journey having them live here in the house with us. I am so grateful that I get to see my nephew everyday. It is such a joy being able to watch him grow everyday. Though it does has its downfalls, because I do love to have the whole house to myself to be able to do whatever I want and when I want to do it. But I’ve gotten use to it. Jaden loves to come in my room with me and do whatever it is that I am doing. He especially loves to close the doors on my entertainment center while I am watching tv or a movie. :)
Another major change that has happened in my life, is that I watch Gabe on Tuesdays now. This has also been fun to be able to do, being able to watch grow up as well. I love being able to be this involved in both my nephews life this much! Calie has surprisingly been so good for me while I watch Gabe on Tuesdays. She used to be bad for me when I watched her before. She would get into things and just be a little mischief. But now she has settled down alot and lays on the couch with me when I watch tv or sits outside the shower door while I take a shower. So unlike what she was before.
