-One evening while putting Jude to bed we were talking about how God created him to be exactly how he planned and different than everyone else. Jude's response was, "God made me to be a special me, but I don't have any sparkles." He followed up by saying that sissy does have sparkles, but that he doesn't. Still can't figure out what the "sparkles" are and if he was happy or sad that he didn't have any sparkles!
- One day when Jude was getting a bit "excited" I asked him not to yell. He responded by saying, "I wasn't yelling, just talking loud." hummmmm, sounds very similar to me!!
-We were playing with Jude's Picasso Tiles (best building blocks EVER) and he asked me to make a cross. Since there are only certain sizes and shapes, I did the best that I could. He looked at it and said, "It kinda looks like a cross...but it really kinda doesn't." He tried to be nice and make me feel ok about my creation, but just couldn't hold it in!
-While playing balloon volleyball in his room one day we decided to switch sides to give him more room to run around. As we were switching he looked back and said, "Can you handle it Mommy?" Like, that side is pretty crazy and not sure if mom is up to the task, ha!
-One evening before bed Jude and Daddy asked me to come up to his room, when I got in there they showed me their amazing creation they made out of his building blocks (seeing a pattern with the blocks?). They proceeded to show me how their creation worked and Jude turns to me and says, "We're just a bunch of special guys building!"
-Jude was standing in front of the pantry trying to find something to eat one afternoon and turns to me with a very disappointed voice, "I haven't been able to find any treats in here in a while." Sorry bud, but for good reason!!!
-I was telling Sam one day that I wanted to try to cut Jude's hair myself. Jude looked up and said, "Don't cut my hair mom, it looks nice and good. I want it to stay fancy!" Well we like good and fancy hair, so maybe I should cut it!!! LOL!
First day in the older 3's class at pre-school
This year they have to put all of their stuff up by themselves each morning! Ms. Lisa was teaching him the ropes on day one.
"Helping" us out at Costco
Horrible picture, but awesome creation!
After church fun at the playground!
Any time something happens, we always have to check for blood!
Getting his picture taken at Meet the Teacher
Helping Miss Missy play the violin
Checking out the new sensory lab at school...right up his alley!!!
All the Mommy's (plus Sam) took the kids to the zoo...it was a zoo!!!
The gorillas were just waking up
One day they will hate us for this pic,
but its just too sweet and a perfect depiction of their love for each other!
Watching the elephants eat lunch
Headed to the splash pad to cool off after a long morning in the zoo.
This picture cracks me up:
1. Jude's face
2. Jacob and Ethan watching & laughing at him like he is crazy!!!
He loved having control of the water and shooting everyone
Jude started gymnastics class and is really liking it
He has some work to do honing his skills!
I had to capture this moment, because we have be coming to this park since he was a little guy. It has been quite a while though since we made a visit and this crazy ladder that he could never do before, was easy as pie this time. Just crazy to see how fast kids learn and grow without us even realizing it!
Snowball fight for Cade's birthday
Jude's "fort"...

Grancy & Pops have been sending the kids post cards when they are traveling on their adventures and he LOVES getting his special mail. This day he got his post card, laid down, and "read" it for a long time!
