where a kid can be a kid!

Jayben had his 4th birthday party at Chuck E cheese! It was tons of fun. We had pizza, played tons of games, opened presents and ate donuts.

Jayben likes:
1.playing with guns, swords, tools, and dinosaurs
2.wearing his soccer cleats EVERYWHERE
3.drinking chocolate milk
4.eating broccoli, shrimp, and cereal

Jayben dislikes:
1.brushing his teeth
2.getting dressed
3.wiping his own bum
4.lettuce

Jayben was convinced that he would not turn 4 until he blew out the candles. It was cute. All day he kept telling us that he was not 4 yet. Finally he got to blow out the candles and he kept bragging that he was older than 3 year olds. I wonder where he gets that competitive nature?

I'm excited that he is 4 because now we can bribe him to eat FOUR bites of everything instead of just three.

Happy birthday Jayben! We love you and are so glad that you are part of our little family!

2/17/11 Jayben was put on the naughty chair. And while serving his time he was humming the theme to Jeopardy. It was hilarious. But he still had to finish his time.
10/10/10 Jayben said "mom, we don't know what language Lincoln is going to speak, it might be English or Spanish. I bet he's going to speak Spanish!"
10/3/10 While watching General Conference on Sunday Jayben asked "What do you have to do to become the phrophet?" I explained to him that he needed to be really good and listen. Later that day I asked him if he still wanted to be the prophet and he said he changed his mind and decided he wanted to be a monster truck driver instead.
9/13/09 Jayben "I'm going to go blind in a few days because my eyes are so dry. You will have to spit in my eyes like Jesus did to heal the blind!"
9/13/09 Jayben "Brontasaurus are nice, I love them. I'm sad they are extinct!"
8/27/09 Telling Jayben that we were going to the Temple and he told me "Mom, you can only go if you have a recommend, do you have one?"
8/26/09 Jayben wanted a drink at bedtime I told him I would get him one and he said "But you won't get the EXACT cup I want."
8/11/09 we were playing a rhyming game and the word was walk. I said chalk and Jayben said, "I know like chocolate milk."
8/9/09 Jayben asked "Mom, what's wrong with your belly button?"
7/9/09 while making jam and trying to figure out how many cups are in a pint, Ben touches each of my bum cheeks and tells me I have a pint on each of them.
7/6/09 I had been discussing swimming lessons with Jayben and later he was telling Ben about them. "Dad, Jane teaches kids to swim without life jackets, floaties and swimsuits!"
6/14/09 Ben gave Jayben a drink and told him what flavor it was. Jayben said, "I knew it was Hawaiian punch, my taste BUGS told me!"
6/12/09 Jayben asked us to turn up the radio so he could hear the song and then said, "this song is pumping me up!"
6/1/09 Jayben was on the naughty chair and Ben was telling him that it was too late and he still had to sit on it. Jayben without hesitation starts singing 'It's too late to apologize, it's too late!"
5/30/09 after hitting his friend I asked Jayben why he did it and he said "Because, I told her to enjoy the movie, and she did not enjoy it."
As we are leaving the soccer game Ben asks Jayben "what's daddy got?" He yells "DIArrhea!" Not quite the answer we were looking for but close.
11/19/08 Jayben said "I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out of batteries."
11/19/08 Jayben (Ben is drinking chocolate milk and Jayben was just told he cannot have another cup) "But mom, I am low on sugar, I need some chocolate milk!"
