Angry Birds

Jaron had an Angry Birds birthday party with his friends on May 5th.  They had a great time knocking down boxes with Angry birds, pinning the beak on the Angry Bird, tossing the Angry birds in the basket and smashing an angry birds pig pinata.  They ate Angry Birds cupcakes and then opened presents.  It was a very fun party.  Jaron has such cute and well behaved friends. 

Angry Bird cupcakes- I made these and they turned out SO cute!

In love with our puppy

We are enjoying having this sweet little dog in our family.  She is a lot of fun and very playful.  Now if we could just get her potty trained all would be well.  These pictures were taken May 1 and May 3.

 

The Pinewood Derby

Kenyon's troop had their pinewood derby on April 26.  Kenyon's car didn't do so well, but it sure looked awesome!  :) 

Do you like how he's in his scout uniform?

Ginger

Our puppy Ginger came to our house on April 27th, Jaron's fifth birthday.  Welcome to the family Ginger!

My Baby Boy is FIVE!

Jaron turned five on April 27th.  I can't believe that he is already five.  I could swear he was just this tiny cuddly baby who used to snuggle up and fall asleep on my chest.  Jaron had an extra special birthday because we got our dog on his birthday.  Pete took him to lunch for his birthday to a Lebanese restaurant.  It seems weird, I know, but Jaron loves hummus and pita bread.  He loved it and then he and Pete went to the airport to pick up our puppy.  They stopped at Target to get some things for her and then brought her home.  For dinner we had his favorite poppy seed chicken and then we opened presents and had cupcakes and ice cream.  It was such a fun day for him. 
Here are some things about Jaron at five:

• He loves Ninjago

• He loves to run around the house making fighting noises with his mouth and jumps around pretending he is fighting.
• He knows his alphabet, numbers, shapes and colors.  
• He can write his name
• He is a temper and is trying to learn how to get that under control
• He is still a mommy's boy, but does love to do things with his daddy
• He still carries his "dee dee" every where.
• He loves both of his big brothers, but completely idolizes Kenyon and tries to copy and imitate everything Kenyon does (it irritates Kenyon to no end)
• He is a great big brother to Maycee and loves to take care of her
• He likes to help me bake.
• He makes his own bed and puts away some of his own laundry.
• He cleans the mirror, sink and counter in one bathroom weekly
• He can be very loveable and very cuddly if he is in the mood.

I just adore my baby boy and am so sad that he is going to be going to all day Kindergarten next year.  I will miss him so much...he is my buddy and keeps me company.

Happy Birthday Little man!

And her name is....

We decided that we would let everyone in the family choose a name for the dog and then everyone would vote for their top three.  Which ever name got the most votes would win.  The names we chose from were:  Pete- Isabella (Bella),  Steph- Daisy, Brandon- Misty, Kenyon- Ginger, Shaylee- Lily, and Jaron - Molly.  The problem that we had with this is that there was a tie between Ginger and Molly... so we went back and told everyone to write their favorites of just those two names and it tied again!  So.. we put the names in a box and had Maycee draw out the winner.  Drum roll.... Ginger won!  Much to Shaylee's dismay (and mine).  So, we named her Ginger Molly Phelon.

Guess who joined our family?

Yep, we are getting a dog!  I am insane and should probably br committed for doing it, but when Jaron ran scared from my friends cat when I dropped him off at her house in February, I knew it was time for an animal and a cat was not going to happen with all the allergies in my family.  So after a great deal of research and dog hunting we found this little angel in Utah and had my parents go check her out for us and then the lady said she would hold her for us until she is 12 weeks old.  She will arrive at our house on April 27, Jaron's birthday.
