NO FREAKING WAY!

So Shannon and I were watching a movie tonight called Little Miss Sunshine. During the movie Jaden was playing with his toys and jumping on and punching daddy. Well, the reason I bring this up, is because there was some "less than appropriate" language in the movie. I don't think I really paid much attention to it because of the potty mouth that I have, which for those of you who know MY father will agree I get honestly. Well, the movie ended and it was time for bed. Shannon took Jaden upstairs and to the bathroom. All of the sudden she asks me to come upstairs and asked Jaden to repeat what he just said. So he looks at me and says: "Fu*kin, Fu*kin, Fu*kin!" Shannon looks and me and runs into our bedroom because she was laughing so hard. Well, we had a little talk with him about how that word wasn't appropriate and he shouldn't say it anymore. I THINK he understood, but I'll keep you posted. Day 1, 2009 and my two year old drops the F-Bomb. Stellar fu*king parenting.....STELLAR!

Happy New Year!

2009? Seriously? Wasn't it just 1999?

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!!!!
WHERE DID THE TIME GO???

Prince's album 1999 came out in 1982. When I heard that album I thought, "WOW, 1999. That's a LONG time from NOW." If any of you reading this are old enough, take a minute to think back to 1999. If you are even a "bit" older, think back to 1982. Would you have ever guessed that you would be where you are now? I wouldn't have. However, there isn't one thing I would change. There have been GREAT things that have happened in my life and there have been less than great things that have happened. However, the one constant is that I learn something from every experience, and I am where I am now because of each of those experiences. I know this blog is about my son, and soon to be about my "sons". With that said, the only knowledge I want to impart is that no matter how things "seem" at one time or another in your life, forge ahead and see what life has to offer. More often than not, it turns out pretty darn good! All the best to everyone and I hope 2009 brings you nothing but blessings and good things! I am confident it will for this family! It already has, and we are only an hour and a half into the new year!

P.S. I am welcoming witty suggestions for a new blog title, since it will shortly be encompassing two crazy little Guy's in the next few months!

P.S.S. Could ANYONE please help me feel better about the fact that I knew less than 10% of the "bands / singers" that were on the NYE shows tonight. I certainly accept the fact that I am aging, but seriously...who is making "music" (and I use that term loosely) these days?

Little Liar (He is a mini me!)

So I put Jaden down for bed tonight and stayed in with him until he went to sleep. While I was lying on the floor, he was making some noises in bed. Basically he was lightly kicking the wall. When I told him to stop kicking the wall, he responded with "I not kicking the wall daddy". This was immediately followed with a different kicking sound. Now, I am certainly not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I certainly know the difference between kicking drywall and kicking the side of a plastic bed frame. The little punk....errr, "pumpkin" lied to daddy and tried to cover it up. I'm so proud! Always look them in the eye when you tell your lies son! That's half the battle. If that doesn't work use the old Jedi Mind Trick that Eddie Murphy used to talk about in his stand up routine in Raw;

Mr. T walked up to me and said "I heard you did some jokes about me."

"No you didn't."

"Maybe I didn't...I'm gonna beat up the fool that told me them lies"

Enjoy your week!

Jaden IS Spiderman

Grandpa Shaun and Grandma Laurie Jo got Jaden a VERY cool gift this year. It's a video with Jaden's picture superimposed on Spiderman. This video does not do it justice, but trust me it is HILARIOUS! We have watched it about 8-9 times already. Thanks grandma and grandpa!

Jaden had a GREAT Christmas this year. He got EVERYTHING he asked for; a computer, tools and a rocketship, plus all kinds of things he DIDN'T ask for, but LOVES! Thanks everyone for making this such a great holiday for all of us. Please enjoy all of the posts below! Happy Holidays!

Santa Jaden

Here's some video from Christmas Eve at our house. Enjoy. We did!

Thanks Uncle Brandon!

Christmas Eve at Our House

Here are some pictures from Christmas Eve. We enjoyed the evening with Grandma Libby and Mammaw Minnie. We had a great time. Sorry the pictures are so grainy, but as you scroll down, you will find out that problem has been rectified via a gift from Shannon. :-)

WOW. That's a LOT of gifts for 5 people. The reality of it is that most of them are for Jaden!

The first present of the evening. A gift from Uncle Brandon.

It's a DVD set of the true Christmas Classics. "The Grinch that Stole Christmas", Frosty the Snowman" and "The Year Without a Santa Claus". We put that in right away!

Since Cousin Zachary wasn't here to hand out gifts this year, Jaden took over the duties.

They are starting to pile up!

The Grinch kept taking Jaden's attention, but he still got the gifts passed around.

Mommy got a new Sirius radio for her car.

Daddy got a new camera and you will see in the future posts how well it works!

Dr. Jaden, at your service

Mammaw showing off her comfy slippers.

Jaden even looks good in gift wrap!

Tearing into it!

Daddy got "Jaden" some Fun Bops. They were really for Daddy.

A slinky, a slinky, a fun and wonderful toy....

Looks like the Grinch is coming to see Jaden!

Fun Bops in action!

Yeah, maybe I'm "turning" him into a trouble maker, aren't I?

He's not afraid to fight back. He got some good rights in on me!

Getting cookies and milk ready for Santa.

Maybe I should eat just one!!!!

Trashy Phone Calls!

Yeah, probably wasn't what you expected by the title, eh?

McFadden Who??

Raiders Win! Raiders Win!

Here is the reason I didn't think we needed McFadden this year. Michael Bush. He had a great career at Louisville, but got hurt his senior year. We took him in the fourth round last year and let him sit all year to heal. Well, today you got to see why he was so highly touted prior to his injury. He put up 177 and 2 TD's against the Buccaneers today and CRUSHED their playoff aspirations. Yeah, a small victory, but one nonetheless.

Oh, and I am well aware that it took me 4 days to put up pictures of Jaden at Christmas, and 4 minutes to put this up after the game. What can I say, it's a sickness; Raideritis!

Have a great week. Mine just started off well!

Christmas Day at Our House

It's not like Jaden didn't open a LOT of presents on Christmas Eve, but there were lots and lots more on Christmas Day.

Santa brought Zoey a new blanket.

Jaden posing with his Hulk fists.

Zoey wants to know what Hulk Fists are too...

The Bat Cave!

Gotta have clean teeth before you open your gifts!

Yes, this is day 2 of presents and ALL are for Jaden.

EVERY single present under the tree is for Jaden. Crazy!

His bistro to the left. Pushing presents out to the living room to open!

This is SO much fun. Let's do this every day!

Merry Christmas to me!

Christmas Day with Daddy's family

Well, even though Jaden got more than he probably "deserved" from Santa and mom and dad, he got to go to the Southside on Christmas day for even more loot! We had a great time and would like to thank Tammy, Lance, Brennan and Nick for having us over!

Jaden got the "puter" he asked for from Grandma Karen and Grandpa Tom.

Grandpa Tom available at a minute's notice to help with the unwrapping if need be. However, there will be NO need. Jaden has this unwrapping stuff down pat!

Grandpa Tom's birthday and Christmas present. The Alligator saw from Black and Decker. Now he can go mutilate MORE trees in his yard!

No caption needed. Just one of the best games ever!

What is dis?

Brennan exuding joy and glee!

Nick's turn to open some gifts.

More Spiderman stuff? Jaden doesn't even like Spiderman. ;-)
